payment and the time of benefit payment as provided in Section 6. The adjustments shall be applied in the following order: First, the annual benefit amount shall be adjusted for the benefit payment frequency as provided in Section 6.7.

in his Accrued Benefit, he shall thereupon forfeit his right to receive such benefit under this Plan to the extent he is not then vested. 
 Section 5. Qualifying Distribution Events:  
 Payment to a Participant shall commence upon the
first Qualifying Distribution 

  

 8 

 
Event to occur as to the Participant: a Separation from Service, death, or, if elected in the Adoption Agreement, becoming Disabled or a Change in Control
Event. Any of these events that occurs after the first Qualifying Distribution Event to occur shall have no effect on the time or form of distribution of Plan benefits. 
 5.1 Separation from Service. If the Participant Separates from Service with the Employer, the Vested Accrued Benefit, as of the date of separation, shall be paid to the Participant by the Employer as provided
in Section 6. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no distribution shall be made earlier than six months after the date of Separation from Service with respect to a Participant who, as of the date of his Separation from Service, is a Specified
Employee of a corporation the stock in which is traded on an established securities market or otherwise. Any payments to which such Specified Employee would be entitled during the first six months following the date of Separation from Service shall
be accumulated without interest and paid on the first day of the seventh month following the date of Separation from Service. 
 5.2
Disability. The Employer designates in the Adoption Agreement whether (i) a Participant’s becoming Disabled shall not be a Qualifying Distribution Event, (ii) a Participant’s becoming Disabled shall be a Qualifying Distribution
Event, or (iii) a Participant’s becoming Disabled may be a Qualifying Distribution Event if a Participant timely and affirmatively elects upon his initial enrollment to make becoming Disabled an applicable Qualifying Distribution Event for
his benefit. If becoming Disabled is a Qualifying Distribution Event for a Participant and the Participant becomes Disabled, the Vested Accrued Benefit, as of the date of the Participant’s becoming Disabled, shall be paid to the Participant by
the Employer as provided in Section 6. 
  

 9 

 5.3 Death. If the Participant dies, the Participant’s Vested Accrued Benefit, as of the date
of death, shall be paid to the Participant by the Employer as provided in Section 6. 
 5.4 Change in Control Event. The Employer
designates in the Adoption Agreement whether (i) a Change in Control Event shall not be a Qualifying Distribution Event, (ii) a Change in Control Event shall be a Qualifying Distribution Event, or (iii) a Change in Control Event may be a
Qualifying Distribution Event if a Participant timely and affirmatively elects upon his initial enrollment to make a Change in Control Event an applicable Qualifying Distribution Event for his benefit. If a Change in Control Event is a Qualifying
Distribution Event for a Participant and the Change in Control Event occurs, the Vested Accrued Benefit, as of the date of the Change in Control Event, shall be paid to the Participant by the Employer as provided in Section 6. 
 5.5 No Duplicate Benefits. The benefit payments in this Section 5 are alternative benefits. By accepting the benefits pursuant to any one of
the subsections of Section 5, the Participant shall forfeit any rights under any other of the subsections of Section 5. 
 Section 6. Payment of Benefits:  
 6.1 Normal Form of Benefit Distribution. Unless an
optional form of benefit is elected by the Participant in accordance with Section 6.2, all benefits shall be payable in the Normal Form designated for each Qualifying Distribution Event by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if the Normal Form is a joint and survivor annuity but the Participant is not married at the time his benefit payment commences, his Vested Accrued Benefit shall be payable in the form of a straight life annuity on an Actuarial
Equivalent basis. 
  

 10 

 6.2 Optional Form of Benefit Distribution. The Employer shall designate in the Adoption Agreement
the optional forms of benefit distribution for each Qualifying Distribution Event, if any, which may be elected by the Participant. In lieu of the Normal Form described in Section 6.1, and subject to the Election Procedures under
Section 6.3, the Participant may elect an optional form of benefit distribution from among the designated payment options. Payment shall be made in the manner elected by the Participant. The Participant may elect a different method of payment
for each Qualifying Distribution Event as specified in the Adoption Agreement. Any optional form elected shall be the Actuarial Equivalent of the Normal Form. 
 6.3 Election Procedures. Prior to the Participant’s entry into the Plan, the Participant shall elect the form of payment under which his benefit will be distributed from among the available optional forms
of payment to the extent permitted in the Adoption Agreement. If the Participant elects to receive his benefit in the form of a joint and survivor annuity but is not married at the time his benefit payment commences, his Vested Accrued Benefit shall
be paid in the form of a straight life annuity on an Actuarial Equivalent basis. If the Participant fails to elect a form of payment as provided for in this Section 6.3, the Participant’s Vested Accrued Benefit shall be paid to him in the
Normal Form. 
 6.4 Subsequent Elections. With the consent of the Committee, a Participant may change the time or form of benefit
payment subject to the following requirements: 
 6.4.1 The new election may not take effect until at least 12 months
after the date on which the new election is made. 
 6.4.2 If the new election relates to a payment for reasons other
than the death of the Participant or the Participant becoming Disabled, the new election must provide for the deferral of the payment for a period of at least five years from the date such payment would otherwise have been made. 
 For this purpose, a payment is each separately identified amount to which a Participant is entitled 

  

 11 

 
under the Plan; provided, that entitlement to a life annuity (including a straight life or joint and survivor annuity) or installments for a period certain
is treated as entitlement to a single payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a change in the form of payment from one type of life annuity to another type of life annuity before any annuity payment has been made is not considered a change in the
time or form of payment under Section 409A of the Code and so such a change is not subject to the requirements of this Section 6.4. 
 6.5 Commencement of Benefits. Benefit payments will commence as soon as practicable after (but no later than 60 days after) the commencement dates designated in the Adoption Agreement for each Qualifying Distribution Event. A payment
may be further delayed to the extent permitted in accordance with regulations and guidance under Section 409A of the Code. 
 6.6
Adjustment Before Normal Retirement Date. If a Participant’s Plan benefits begin to be paid before the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date, the amount of the benefit shall be adjusted as designated in the Adoption Agreement.

 6.7 Frequency of Benefit Payments. The benefit payments shall be paid on the frequency designated in the Adoption Agreement.
Payments on a monthly basis shall be one-twelfth of the annual benefit amount, and payments on a quarterly basis shall be one-fourth of the annual benefit amount. 
 6.8 De Minimis Amounts. Notwithstanding any payment election made by the Participant, the Present Value of the Vested Accrued Benefit of the Participant (including the adjustments in Section 4.4) at
the time of a permitted Qualifying Distribution Event will be distributed in a single lump sum payment if such Present Value does not exceed the amount designated by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement. Such payment shall be made on or 

  

 12 

 
before the later of (i) December 31 of the calendar year in which the permitted Qualifying Distribution Event occurs, or (ii) the date that is
2-1/2 months after the permitted Qualifying Distribution Event occurs. In addition, the Employer may distribute a single lump sum payment equal to the Present Value of a Participant’s Vested Accrued Benefit at anytime if the amount does not
exceed the limit in Section 402(g)(1)(B) of the Code and results in the termination of the Participant’s entire interest in the Plan as provided under Section 409A of the Code. For this purpose, the Vested Accrued Benefit is
determined as if the Participant had Separated from Service on such date and includes the adjustments in Sections 4.4. 
 6.9 Acceleration
Prohibited. The acceleration of the time or schedule of any payment due under the Plan is prohibited except as expressly provided in regulations and administrative guidance promulgated under Section 409A of the Code (such as accelerations
for domestic relations orders and employment taxes). It is not an acceleration of the time or schedule of payment if the Employer waives or accelerates the vesting requirements applicable to a benefit under the Plan. 
 Section 7. Administration by Committee:  
 7.1 Membership of Committee. If the Committee consists of individuals appointed by the Board, they will serve at the pleasure of the Board. Any
member of the Committee may resign, and his successor, if any, shall be appointed by the Board. 
 7.2 General Administration.
The Committee shall be responsible for the operation and administration of the Plan and for carrying out its provisions. The Committee shall have the full authority and discretion to make, amend, interpret, and enforce all appropriate rules and
regulations for the administration of this Plan and decide or resolve any and all questions, including interpretations of this Plan, as may arise in connection with this Plan. Any 

  

 13 

 
such action taken by the Committee shall be final and conclusive on any party. To the extent the Committee has been granted discretionary authority under the
Plan, the Committee’s prior exercise of such authority shall not obligate it to exercise its authority in a like fashion thereafter. The Committee shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon all tables, valuations, certificates, opinions and
reports furnished by any actuary, accountant, controller, counsel or other person employed or engaged by the Employer with respect to the Plan. The Committee may, from time to time, employ agents and delegate to such agents, including employees of
the Employer, such administrative or other duties as it sees fit. 
 7.3 Indemnification. To the extent not covered by insurance, the
Employer shall indemnify the Committee, each employee, officer, director, and agent of the Employer, and all persons formerly serving in such capacities, against any and all liabilities or expenses, including all legal fees relating thereto, arising
in connection with the exercise of their duties and responsibilities with respect to the Plan, provided however that the Employer shall not indemnify any person for liabilities or expenses due to that person’s own gross negligence or willful
misconduct. 
 Section 8. Contractual Liability:  
 8.1 Contractual Liability. Unless otherwise elected in the Adoption Agreement, the Company shall be obligated to make all payments
hereunder. This obligation shall constitute a contractual liability of the Company to the Participants, and such payments shall be made from the general funds of the Company. The Company shall not be required to establish or maintain any special or
separate fund, or otherwise to segregate assets to assure that such payments shall be made, and the Participants shall not have any interest in any particular assets of the Company by reason of its obligations hereunder. To the extent that any
person acquires a right to receive payment from the Company, such right shall be no greater than the right of an unsecured creditor of the Company. 
  

 14 

 8.2 Trust. The Employer may establish a trust to assist it in meeting its obligations under the
Plan. Any such trust shall conform to the requirements of a grantor trust under Revenue Procedures 92-64 and 92-65 and at all times during the continuance of the trust the principal and income of the trust shall be subject to claims of general
creditors of the Employer under federal and state law. The establishment of such a trust would not be intended to cause Participants to realize current income on amounts contributed thereto, and the trust would be so interpreted and administered.

 Section 9. Allocation of Responsibilities: 
 The persons responsible for the Plan and the duties and responsibilities allocated to each are as follows: 
 9.1 Board. 
  

	 	(i)	To amend the Plan; 

  

	 	(ii)	To appoint and remove members of the Committee; and 

  

	 	(iii)	To terminate the Plan as permitted in Section 12. 

 9.2 Committee. 
  

	 	(i)	To designate Participants; 

  

	 	(ii)	To interpret the provisions of the Plan and to determine the rights of the Participants under the Plan, except to the extent otherwise provided in Section 14 relating to claims
procedure;

Plan; 

  

	 	(iv)	To account for the Accrued Benefits of Participants; 

  

	 	(v)	To direct the Employer in the payment of benefits; 

  

 15 

	 	(vi)	To file such reports as may be required with the United States Department of Labor, the Internal Revenue Service and any other government agency to which reports may be required to
be submitted from time to time; and 

  

	 	(vii)	To administer the claims procedure to the extent provided in Section 14. 

 Section 10. Benefits Not Assignable; Facility of Payments:  
 10.1 Benefits Not
Assignable. No portion of any benefit credited or paid under the Plan with respect to any Participant shall be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge, and any attempt so to
anticipate, alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber or charge the same shall be void, nor shall any portion of such benefit be in any manner payable to any assignee, receiver or any one trustee, or be liable for his debts, contracts,
liabilities, engagements or torts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that all or any portion of the benefit of a Participant is transferred to the former Spouse of the Participant incident to a divorce, the Committee shall maintain such
amount for the benefit of the former Spouse until distributed in the manner required by an order of any court having jurisdiction over the divorce, and the former Spouse shall be entitled to the same rights as the Participant with respect to such
benefit. 
 10.2 Plan-Approved Domestic Relations Orders. The Committee shall establish procedures for determining whether an order
directed to the Plan is a Plan-Approved Domestic Relations Order. If the Committee determines that an order is a Plan-Approved Domestic Relations Order, the Committee shall cause the payment of amounts pursuant to (and prevent any payment or act
which might be inconsistent with) the Plan-Approved Domestic Relations Order. 
  

 16 

 10.3 Payments to Minors and Others. If any individual entitled to receive a payment under the Plan
shall be physically, mentally or legally incapable of receiving or acknowledging receipt of such payment, the Committee, upon the receipt of satisfactory evidence of his incapacity and satisfactory evidence that another person or institution is
maintaining him and that no guardian or committee has been appointed for him, may cause any payment otherwise payable to him to be made to such person or institution so maintaining him. Payment to such person or institution shall be in full
satisfaction of all claims by or through the Participant to the extent of the amount thereof. 
 Section 11. Beneficiary:
 
 The Participant’s Beneficiary shall be the person, persons, entity or entities designated by the Participant on the
beneficiary designation form provided by and filed with the Committee or its designee. If the Participant does not designate a Beneficiary, the Beneficiary shall be his Surviving Spouse. If the Participant does not designate a Beneficiary and has no
Surviving Spouse, the Beneficiary shall be the Participant’s estate. The designation of a Beneficiary may be changed or revoked only by filing a new Beneficiary designation form with the Committee or its designee. If a Beneficiary (the
“primary Beneficiary”) is receiving or is entitled to receive payments under the Plan and dies before receiving all of the payments due him, the remaining payments to which he is entitled shall be paid to the contingent Beneficiary, if
any, named in the Participant’s current beneficiary designation form. If there is no contingent Beneficiary, the remaining payments shall be paid to the estate of the primary Beneficiary. Any Beneficiary may disclaim all or any part of any
benefit to which such Beneficiary shall be entitled hereunder by filing a written disclaimer with the Committee before payment of such benefit is to be made. Such a disclaimer shall be made in a form satisfactory to the Committee and shall be
irrevocable when filed. Any benefit disclaimed shall be payable from the Plan in the same manner as if the Beneficiary who filed the disclaimer had predeceased the Participant. 
  

 17 

 Section 12. Amendment and Termination of the Plan:  
 The Company may amend any provision of the Plan or terminate the Plan at any time; provided, that in no event shall such amendment or termination reduce
the Participant’s Accrued Benefit as of the date of such amendment or termination, nor shall any such amendment or termination affect the terms of the Plan relating to the payment of such benefit. For the purpose of this section, the Accrued
Benefit on the date of termination is determined as if the Participant had Separated from Service on such date and includes any adjustments in Section 4.4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following special provisions shall apply: 

12.1 Termination in the Discretion of the Employer. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 12.2, the Company in its discretion may terminate
the Plan and distribute benefits to Participants subject to the following requirements and any others specified under Section 409A of the Code: 
 12.1.1 All arrangements sponsored by the Employer that would be aggregated with the Plan under Section 1.409A-l(c) of the Treasury Regulations are terminated. 
 12.1.2 No payments other than payments that would be payable under the terms of the Plan if the termination had not occurred are
made within 12 months of the termination date. 
 12.1.3 All benefits under the Plan are paid within 24 months of the
termination date. 
 12.1.4 The Employer does not adopt a new arrangement that would be aggregated with the Plan under
Section 1.409A-1(c) of the Treasury Regulations providing for the deferral of compensation at any time within 3 years following the date of termination of the Plan. 
 12.1.5 The termination does not occur proximate to a downturn in the financial health of the Employer. 
 12.2 Termination Upon Change in Control Event. If the Company terminates the Plan within thirty days preceding or twelve months following a
Change in Control Event, the 

  

 18 

 
Accrued Benefit of each Participant shall become fully vested and payable to the Participant in a lump sum within twelve months following the date of
termination, subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. 
 Section 13. Communication to
Participants:  
 The Employer shall make a copy of the Plan available for inspection by Participants and their beneficiaries during
reasonable hours at the principal office of the Employer. 
 Section 14. Claims Procedure: 
 The following claims procedure shall apply with respect to the Plan: 
 14.1 Filing of a Claim for Benefits. If a Participant or Beneficiary (the “claimant”) believes that he is entitled to benefits under the Plan which are not being paid to him or which are not being
accrued for his benefit, he shall file a written claim therefore with the Committee. 
 14.2 Notification to Claimant of Decision.
Within 90 days after receipt of a claim by the Committee (or within 180 days if special circumstances require an extension of time), the Committee shall notify the claimant of the decision with regard to the claim. In the event of such special
circumstances requiring an extension of time, there shall be furnished to the claimant prior to expiration of the initial 90-day period written notice of the extension, which notice shall set forth the special circumstances and the date by which the
decision shall be furnished. If such claim shall be wholly or partially denied, notice thereof shall be in writing and worded in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant, and shall set forth: (i) the specific reason or reasons for
the denial; (ii) specific reference to pertinent provisions of the Plan on which the denial is based; (iii) a description of any additional material or information 

  

 19 

 
necessary for the claimant to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary; and (iv) an explanation of the

the extension shall be furnished to the claimant prior to the commencement of the extension. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the claim relates to a disability determination, the Committee shall notify the claimant of the decision within 45 days

such address and mailed by regular United States mail, first class, postage prepaid. If any check mailed to such address is returned as undeliverable to the addressee, mailing of checks will be suspended until the Participant or Beneficiary
furnishes the proper address. This provision shall not be construed as requiring the mailing of any notice or notification otherwise permitted to be given by posting or by other publication. 
 15.3 Lost Distributees. A benefit shall be deemed forfeited if the Committee is unable to locate the Participant or Beneficiary to whom payment is
due on or before the fifth anniversary of the date payment is to be made or commence; provided, however, that such benefit shall be reinstated if a valid claim is made by or on behalf of the Participant or Beneficiary for all or part of the
forfeited benefit.

Participant or by any Beneficiary. Representations of such data shall be binding upon any party seeking to claim a benefit through a Participant, and the Employer and the Committee shall have no obligation to inquire into the accuracy of any
representation made at any time by a Participant or Beneficiary. 
 15.5 Receipt and Release for Payments. Subject to the
provisions of Section 15.1, any payment made from the Plan to or with respect to any Participant or Beneficiary, or pursuant to a disclaimer by a Beneficiary, shall, to the extent thereof, be in full satisfaction of all claims hereunder against
the Plan and the Employer with respect to the Plan. The recipient of any payment from the Plan may be required by the Committee, as a condition precedent to such payment, to execute a receipt and release with respect thereto in such form as shall be
acceptable to the Committee. 
  

 22 

 15.6 Headings. The headings and subheadings of the Plan have been inserted for convenience of
reference and are to be ignored in any construction of the provisions hereof. 
 15.7 Continuation of Employment. The establishment of

regard to the effect thereof under the Plan. 
 15.8 Merger or Consolidation; Assumption of Plan. No Employer shall consolidate or
merge into or with another corporation or entity, or transfer all or substantially all of its assets to another corporation, partnership, trust or other entity (a “Successor Entity”) unless such Successor Entity shall assume the rights,
obligations and liabilities of the Employer under the Plan and upon such assumption, the Successor Entity shall become obligated to perform the terms and conditions of the Plan. Nothing herein shall prohibit the assumption of the obligations and
liabilities of the Employer under the Plan by any Successor Entity.

Agreement the state according to whose laws the provisions of the Plan shall be construed and enforced, except to the extent that such laws are superseded by ERISA and the applicable requirements of the Code.

reduce a Participant’s benefits, in order to meet any federal, state, local or employment tax withholding obligations with respect to Plan benefits, as permitted under Section 409A of the Code. The Employer or other payor shall report Plan
payments and other Plan-related information to the appropriate governmental agencies as required under applicable laws.

	B.	Section 4.5 of the Plan Document is amended to read as follows: 

 “4.5 Forfeiture. Except as otherwise provided below in this Section 4.5 as regards ‘Competition Activities’, the obligation of the Employer to commence or, if applicable, to continue payment
of any benefits under the Plan will cease and all or any remaining payments of the Participant’s Accrued Benefit, as the case may be, will be forfeited by the Participant if any of the following occur at any time before, at or after the
Participant’s Separation from Service: 
 4.5.1 The Participant Separates from Service before he is fully vested in his Accrued
Benefit, but the forfeiture of the Participant’s Accrued Benefit will only be to the extent the Participant is not then vested in his Accrued Benefit. 
 4.5.2 The Participant breaches any restrictive covenants concerning his non-competition, non-solicitation of Employer (or Employer affiliate) customers or prospective customers or prior customers, and/or
non-solicitation of Employer (or Employer affiliate) employees or former Employer (or Employer affiliate) employees, under any contract between the Participant and the Employer or under any Employer policy in existence on the date of the
Participant’s Separation from Service with the Employer and its affiliates. 
 4.5.3 If during the three-year period immediately
following such Separation from Service, the Participant (i) directly or indirectly solicits any current or former customer of the Employer (or Employer affiliate) for the purpose of providing any goods or services the same as or similar in any
way to any type of good or service offered by the Employer (or Employer affiliate) at any time; (ii) directly or indirectly solicits, recruits or induces any current or former employee of the 

  

 10 

 
Employer (or Employer affiliate) to terminate his or her employment relationship with the Employer (or Employer affiliate), if then a current employee, and
to provide any type of good or service offered by the Employer (or Employer affiliate) at any time to any current or former customer of the Employer on behalf of the Participant or any third party; or (iii) on his own behalf, or on behalf of
any third party in the business of providing goods or services that are the same as or similar to the goods and services provided by the Employer (or Employer affiliate) to any third party, engages in or performs within a two hundred-mile radius of
the Employer’s offices at which the Participant was primarily located immediately prior to the effective date of such Separation from Service services that are substantially similar to the services that the Participant performed for the
Employer at any time during his Employer employment. Any of these activities is a ‘Competition Activity.’ 
 Upon the advance
written request of the Participant, the Employer’s Board of Directors, may, in its discretion, permit the Participant to engage in a Competition Activity, subject to such further information regarding the Competition Activity and terms that the
Employer’s Board of Directors may require. 
 4.5.4 If the Participant Separates from Service with the Employer and its affiliates
as a result of, or in connection with: (i) the Participant’s insubordination; (ii) the Participant’s breach of any employment agreement he has with the Employer; (iii) any act or omission by the Participant which is, or is
likely to be, injurious to the Employer and its affiliates or the business reputation of the Employer and its affiliates, (iv) the Participant’s dishonesty, fraud, malfeasance, negligence or misconduct; (v) the Participant’s
failure to satisfactorily perform his duties, to follow the direction (consistent with his duties) of the Employer’s President or the Employer’s Board of Directors or any other individual to whom the Participant reports, or to follow the
policies, procedures, and rules of the Employer and its affiliates; or (vi) the Participant’s conviction of, or the Participant’s entry of a plea of guilty or no contest to, a felony or crime involving moral turpitude (any of the
foregoing referred to herein as ‘Cause’); provided, further, that if the Employer’s Board of Directors determines that Cause existed prior to the payment of any portion of the Participant’s Accrued Benefit, then the Participant
will return to the Employer all payments previously made under this Plan within 30 days of the Employer’s Board of Directors determination. 
  

	C.	Section 5 of the Plan is amended by the addition of the following at the end of the Section:

 13Transitional Compensation Agreement dated May 6, 2008

 EXHIBIT 10.1 
 TRANSITIONAL COMPENSATION AGREEMENT 
 AGREEMENT by and between AMCORE Financial, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and Judith C. Sutfin (the “Executive”), dated as of the 6th day of May, 2008. 
 The Board of Directors of the
Company (the “Board”) has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to assure that the Company will have the continued dedication of the Executive, notwithstanding the possibility, threat or occurrence
of a Change of Control (as defined below) of the Company. The Board believes it is imperative to diminish the inevitable distraction of the Executive by virtue of the personal uncertainties and risks created by a pending or threatened Change of
Control, to encourage the Executive’s full attention and dedication to the Company currently and in the event of any threatened or pending Change of Control, and to provide the Executive with compensation and benefit arrangements upon a Change
of Control which ensure that the compensation and benefits expectations of the Executive will be satisfied and which are competitive with those of other similar corporations. The Board believes that, in connection with such compensation and benefit
arrangements, it is appropriate to provide for a “Gross-Up Payment” to the Executive to cover certain special taxes which might result from her receipt of other compensation and benefits. 
 Therefore, in order to accomplish these objectives, the Board has caused the Company to enter into this Agreement. 
 As a condition to the effectiveness of this Agreement, the Executive has executed the Confidentiality and Non-Competition Agreement attached hereto as
Exhibit A. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY AGREED AS FOLLOWS: 
 1. Certain Definitions 
 (a) The “Effective Date” shall mean the first date
during the Change of Control Period (as defined in paragraph (b), below) on which a Change of Control (as defined in Section 2) occurs. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if a Change of Control occurs and if the
Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated or the Executive ceases to be an officer of the Company prior to the date on which the Change of Control occurs, and if it is reasonably demonstrated by the Executive that such termination
of employment or cessation of status as an officer (i) was at the request of a third party who has taken 

 
steps reasonably calculated to effect the Change of Control, or (ii) otherwise arose in connection with or anticipation of the Change of Control and was
not (A) for conduct by the Executive of the type described in Section 4(b), below, (B) for significant deficiencies in the Executive’s performance of her duties to the Company (including, but not by way of limitation, significant
failure to cooperate in implementing a decision of the Board), or (C) for some other specific substantial business reason unrelated to the Change of Control, then for all purposes of this Agreement the “Effective Date” shall mean the
date immediately prior to the date of such termination of employment or cessation of status as an officer. 
 (b) The
“Change of Control Period” shall mean the period which commenced on May 6, 2008 and ending on the third anniversary of such date; provided, however, that on May 6, 2009, and on each annual anniversary of such date
(such date and each annual anniversary thereof being hereinafter referred to as a “Renewal Date”), this Agreement and the Change of Control Period shall be automatically extended so as to terminate three (3) years from such Renewal
Date, unless at least sixty (60) days prior to the Renewal Date the Company shall give notice to the Executive that the Change of Control Period shall not be so extended, in which case this Agreement shall terminate upon the expiration of the
Change of Control Period or, if an Effective Period (as defined in Section 3) is then in effect, upon the expiration of the Effective Period. 
 2. Change of Control. For the purpose of this Agreement, a “Change of Control” shall mean the occurrence, after the date hereof, of any of the following events: 
 (a) The acquisition, other than from the Company, by any individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or
14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) of Company securities immediately after which such person is the beneficial owner (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of
fifteen percent (15%) or more of either the then outstanding shares of common stock of the Company or the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors,
but excluding for this purpose any such acquisition by the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or any employee benefit plan (or related trust) of the Company or its subsidiaries, or any corporation with respect to which, following such acquisition,
more than sixty percent (60%) of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock of such corporation and the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of such corporation entitled to vote generally in the
election of directors is then beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the beneficial owners, respectively, of the common stock and voting securities of the Company immediately
prior to such acquisition in substantially the same proportion as their ownership, immediately prior to such acquisition, of the then 

 
outstanding shares of common stock of the Company or the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the Company entitled to vote
generally in the election of directors, as the case may be; or 
 (b) Individuals who, as of the date hereof, constitute the
Board (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board; provided that any individual becoming a director subsequent to the date hereof, whose election, or nomination for election by the
Company’s shareholders, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board shall be considered as though such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this purpose, any
such individual whose initial assumption of office is in connection with an actual or threatened election contest, including, but not limited to, a consent solicitation, relating to the election of the directors of the Company (as such terms are
used in Rule 14a-11 of Regulation 14A promulgated under the Exchange Act); or 
 (c) There occurs (i) a reorganization,
merger or consolidation of the Company or any direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company, in each case, with respect to which all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the respective beneficial owners of the common stock
and voting securities of the Company immediately prior to such reorganization, merger or consolidation do not, following such reorganization, merger or consolidation, beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than sixty percent (60%) of,
respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock and the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, as the case may be, of the ultimate parent corporation of any
corporation resulting from such reorganization, merger or consolidation, or (ii) shareholder approval of a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company, or (iii) the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets
of the Company. 
 3. Effective Period. This Agreement shall be in effect for the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending
on the third anniversary of such date (the “Effective Period”). 
 4. Termination of Employment 
 (a) Death or Disability. The Executive’s employment shall terminate automatically upon the Executive’s death during the
Effective Period. If the Company determines in good faith that the Disability of the Executive has occurred during the Effective Period (pursuant to the definition of Disability as set forth below), it may give to the Executive written notice in
accordance with Section 11(b) of this Agreement of its intention to terminate the Executive’s employment. In such event, the Executive’s employment with the Company shall terminate effective on the 

 
thirtieth (30th) day after receipt of such notice by the Executive (the “Disability Effective Date”), provided that, within the thirty
(30) days after such receipt, the Executive shall not have returned to full-time performance of the Executive’s duties. For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” shall mean the absence of the Executive from the
Executive’s duties with the Company on a full-time basis for one hundred and eighty (180) consecutive business days as a result of incapacity due to mental or physical illness which is determined to be total and permanent by a physician
selected by the Company or its insurers and acceptable to the Executive or the Executive’s legal representative (such agreement as to acceptability not to be withheld unreasonably). 
 (b) Cause. 
 (i) The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment during the Effective Period for Cause and may suspend the Executive from her duties with full pay and benefits if the Executive is indicted for a felony involving moral
turpitude; provided, however, that the Executive will repay all amounts paid by the Company from the date of such suspension if the Executive is convicted of such felony. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean (A) the
willful and continued failure by the Executive to substantially perform the Executive’s duties with the Company (other than any such failure resulting from the Executive’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness or any such actual or
anticipated failure after the issuance of a Notice of Termination for Good Reason by the Executive pursuant to Section 4(d) hereof) after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to the Executive by the Board, which demand
specifically identifies the manner in which the Board believes that the Executive has not substantially performed the Executive’s duties, or (B) the willful engaging by the Executive in conduct which is demonstrably and materially
injurious to the Company or its subsidiaries, monetarily or otherwise. For purposes of clauses (A) and (B) of this definition, (x) no act, or failure to act, on the Executive’s part shall be deemed “willful” unless
done, or omitted to be done, by the Executive not in good faith and without reasonable belief that the Executive’s act, or failure to act, was in the best interest of the Company and (y) in the event of a dispute concerning the application
of this provision, no claim by the Company that Cause exists shall be given effect unless the Company establishes to the Board by clear and convincing evidence that Cause exists, and the Board adopts a finding to that effect. 
 (ii) A Notice of Termination for Cause must include a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than
three-quarters (3/4) of the entire membership of the Board at a meeting of the Board which was called and held for the purpose of considering such termination (after reasonable notice to the Executive and an opportunity for the Executive,
together with the Executive’s counsel, to be heard before the Board) finding that, in the good faith opinion of the Board, the Executive was guilty of conduct set forth in clause (A) or (B) of the definition of Cause herein, and
specifying the particulars thereof in detail. 

 (c) Good Reason 
 The Executive’s employment may be terminated during the Effective Period by the Executive for Good Reason. For purposes of this
Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean: 
 (i) The assignment to the Executive of any duties inconsistent in any
material respect with the Executive’s position (including status, offices, titles and reporting requirements), authority, duties or responsibilities as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Date, or any other action by the Company which
results in a diminution in such position, authority, duties or responsibilities, including, without limitation, if the Executive was, immediately prior to the Effective Date, an executive officer of a public company, the Executive ceasing to be an
executive officer of a public company, but excluding for this purpose an isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent action not taken in bad faith and which is remedied by the Company within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice thereof given by
the Executive; 
 (ii) Any reduction by the Company in Executive’s compensation or benefits as in effect immediately
prior to the Effective Date, other than an isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent reduction not occurring in bad faith and which is remedied by the Company promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by the Executive; 
 (iii) The Company’s requiring the Executive to be based at any office or location more than twenty (20) miles from that in
effect immediately prior to the Effective Date; 
 (iv) Any purported termination by the Company of the Executive’s
employment otherwise than as expressly permitted by this Agreement; 
 (v) Any failure by the Company to comply with and
satisfy Section 10(c) of this Agreement, provided that such successor has received at least ten (10) days prior written notice from the Company or the Executive of the requirements of Section 10(c) of this Agreement; or 
 For purposes of this Section 4(c), any good faith determination of “Good Reason” made by the Executive shall be conclusive. 
 (d) Notice of Termination. Any termination by the Company for Cause, or by the Executive for Good Reason, shall be communicated by
a Notice of Termination to the other party given in accordance with Section 11(b) of this 

 
Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” means a written notice which (i) indicates the specific termination
provision in this Agreement relied upon, (ii) to the extent applicable, sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Executive’s employment under the provision so indicated
and (iii) if the Date of Termination (as defined below) is other than the date of receipt of such notice, specifies the termination date (which date shall be not more than fifteen (15) days after the giving of such notice). The failure by
the Executive or the Company to set forth in the Notice of Termination any fact or circumstance which contributes to a showing of Good Reason or Cause shall not waive any right of the Executive or the Company hereunder or preclude the Executive or
the Company from asserting such fact or circumstance in enforcing the Executive’s or the Company’s rights hereunder. 
 (e) Date of Termination. “Date of Termination” means (i) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause, or by the Executive for Good Reason, the date of receipt of the Notice of Termination
or any later date specified therein, as the case may be, (ii) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company other than for Cause or Disability or by the Executive other than for Good Reason, the Date of Termination shall be
the date on which the terminating party notifies the other party of such termination, and (iii) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of death or Disability, the Date of Termination shall be the date of death of the
Executive or the Disability Effective Date, as the case may be. 
 (f) Separation From Service. “Separation From
Service” means a termination of employment that meets the “separation from service” requirements under section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and section 1.409A-1(h) of the regulations
thereunder (as may be amended from time to time and including any successor therto). 
 5. Obligations of the Company upon Termination

 (a) By Company Other Than for Cause or Disability or By Executive for Good Reason. If, during the Effective Period,
the Company shall terminate the Executive’s employment other than for Cause or Disability, or the Executive shall terminate employment for Good Reason: 
 (i) The Company shall pay to the Executive in a lump sum the following amounts, payments to be made at the times described below:

 (A) The sum of 
 (1) the Executive’s then current annual base salary through the Date of Termination to the extent not theretofore paid, which amount shall be paid in cash within 30 days after the Date of Termination; 

 (2) the product of (x) Executive’s Recent Average Bonus (as defined below) and
(y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the then current fiscal year through the Date of Termination, and the denominator of which is three hundred and sixty-five (365). This amount shall be paid during the 30-day period
commencing six months subsequent to Executive’s Separation From Service, and, in order to compensate for the delay, the amounts to be paid shall be increased by six-months interest, computed at the prime rate as reported in the Wall Street
Journal on the nearest date preceding the Separation From Service (the “Prime Rate”); 
 (3) any compensation
previously deferred by the Executive (together with any accrued interest or earnings thereon and as adjusted to reflect any other appreciation or depreciation in value). This amount shall be paid in cash within 30 days after the Separation From
Service; provided that, the payment described in this section 5(a)(i)(A)(3) shall only be paid as an immediate lump sum if (x) a lump sum payment had previously been elected by the Executive in accordance with section 409A or (y) the
Separation From Service is within two years following the Change in Control and the Change in Control would also qualify as a Change in Control under section 409A and the regulations thereunder; and 
 (4) any accrued vacation pay; in each case to the extent not theretofore paid, which amounts shall be paid in cash within 30 days after
the Date of Termination (the sum of the amounts described in parts (1), (2), (3) and (4), above, being hereinafter referred to as the “Accrued Obligations”). 
 For purposes of this Agreement, Executive’s Recent Average Bonus shall be the average annualized (for any fiscal year consisting of less than
twelve (12) full months or with respect to which the Executive has been employed by the Company for less than twelve (12) full months) bonus paid or payable, before taking into account any deferral, to the Executive by the Company and its
affiliated companies in respect of the three fiscal years immediately preceding the fiscal year in which the termination of Executive’s employment occurs (if Executive was not employed by the Company in a given fiscal year, that year will be
excluded from the calculation of Recent Average Bonus); and 
 (B) The amount (such amount being hereinafter referred to as
the “Severance Amount”) equal to the product of multiplying by three (3) the sum of (1) the Executive’s then current annual base salary (without, in the event of a termination of the Executive’s employment pursuant to
Section 4(c)(ii) hereof, giving effect to any 

 
reduction in the Executive’s base salary) and (2) Executive’s Recent Average Bonus; provided, however, that such amount shall be reduced by
the present value (determined as provided in Section 280G(d)(4) of the Code) of any other amount of severance relating to salary or bonus continuation to be received by the Executive, upon such termination of employment, under any other
severance plan, policy or arrangement of the Company. One-third of the Severance Amount (the “Non-Compete Payment”) shall be deemed to be allocable to the performance of the covenants applicable to Executive pursuant to the Confidentiality
and Non-Competition Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A. This amount shall be paid during the 30-day period commencing six months subsequent to Executive’s Separation From Service, and, in order to compensate for the delay, the amounts to be
paid shall be increased by six-months interest at the Prime Rate; and 
 (ii) (A) At the Date of Termination, stock options,
restricted stock, and other awards relating to stock under equity incentive plans or programs of the Company and its affiliates which would have become vested (non-forfeitable) if Executive’s employment had continued for thirty-six
(36) months thereafter, excluding awards that require performance goals to be achieved in addition to passage of time and continued employment, will be immediately vested and exercisable, and any such stock options and other outstanding stock
options already vested at or before the Date of Termination shall remain outstanding and exercisable for a period that is the greater of one year after the Date of Termination (but in no event after the stated expiration date of such option) or such
longer period as may be provided under the applicable plan or program, and any such awards subject to settlement at a date later than the vesting date shall be immediately settled; and 
 (B) At the Date of Termination, any then outstanding award opportunity under a long- or intermediate-term incentive plan or program of
the Company and its affiliates which requires performance goals to be achieved (in addition to passage of time and continued employment requirements) in order for Executive to earn cash or equity compensation will be terminated and settled by
payment to Executive of an award, in cash unless otherwise specified by the plan or program, based on the assumed achievement of target performance for the entire specified performance period, pro rated based on the portion of the total performance
period completed as of the Date of Termination (and without regard to any requirement as to passage of time or continued employment relating to the award). If the applicable plan or program would not permit the payment to Executive of an award as
specified in this subparagraph (ii)(B). This amount shall be paid during the 30-day period commencing six months subsequent to Executive’s Separation From Service, and, in order to compensate for the delay, the amounts to be paid shall be
increased by six-months interest, computed at the Prime Rate; 
 (iii) The Company shall pay to the Executive a lump sum equal
to X, which amount shall be paid during the 30-day period commencing six 

 
months subsequent to Executive’s Separation From Service. For the purpose of the preceding sentence, X equals the value of the benefits that would have
been provided to Executive and/or the Executive’s family during the 36 month period immediately following the Date of Termination, if the Executive’s employment had not been terminated, in accordance with (A) the welfare benefit
plans, practices, programs or policies of the Company and its affiliated companies as in effect and applicable generally to other peer executives and their families or, if more favorable, applicable to the Executive and her family, during the ninety
(90)-day period immediately preceding the Effective Date or (B) if more favorable to the Executive, those in effect generally from time to time thereafter with respect to other peer executives of the Company and its affiliated companies and
their families. For the purpose of computing X with respect to benefits where the Company pays insurance premiums, the cost of benefits shall equal the insurance premiums that would have been paid over such three-year period that provides benefits
to the Executive, based on the insurance premiums in effect on the Date of Termination. For purposes of determining eligibility of the Executive for retiree benefits pursuant to such plans, practices, programs and policies, the Executive shall be
considered to have remained employed during the thirty-six (36) month period immediately following the Date of Termination and to have retired on the last day of such period (and, to the extent Executive is eligible to receive retiree benefits
that duplicate the benefits that would otherwise be taken into account in computing X, X shall be reduced); and 
 (iv) The
Company shall pay to the Executive a lump sum equal to Y, which amount shall be paid during the 30-day period commencing six months subsequent to Executive’s Separation From Service. For the purpose of the preceding sentence, Y equals the value
of the benefits that would have been provided to Executive during the thirty-six (36) month period immediately following the Date of Termination if the Company had continued to provide the Executive and her family with the benefits and
perquisites at least equal to those which would have been provided to them if the Executive’s employment had not been terminated, in accordance with the terms generally applicable with respect to the provision of such benefits and perquisites
during the ninety (90) day period immediately preceding the Effective Date, or, if more favorable to the Executive, in effect generally from time to time thereafter during such thirty-six (36) month period with respect to other peer
executives of the Company and its affiliated companies and their families. These benefits shall include (but shall not be limited to) the following: employer contributions to the AMCORE Financial Security Plan, employer contributions to the AMCORE
Deferred Compensation Plan, or any other defined contribution retirement plan, club membership fees, financial planning allowance and car allowance. In computing Y, the Company shall determine the amount of the benefit annually provided by the
Company by (A) assuming that the Executive’s base pay would have remained in effect at the rate in effect on the Date of Termination and the Executive would have received annual bonuses equal to the Recent Average Bonus, and
(B) assuming in the case of club membership fees, financial planning, car allowance, and 

 
similar benefits, that the Executive would receive such benefits during the three years following the Date of Termination at the same rate that she received
such benefits during the 12 months ending on the last day of the calendar quarter preceding the Date of Termination. 
 (b)
Death. If the Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of the Executive’s death during the Effective Period, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to the Executive’s legal representatives under this
Agreement, other than for (i) payment of the Accrued Obligations (which payments shall, notwithstanding the language of 5(a)(i)(A) above be paid to the Executive’s estate or beneficiary, as applicable, in a lump sum in cash within 30 days
of the Date of Termination, and shall not include the interest factor described in 5(a)(i)(A) above) and (ii) the payment of the benefits described in section 5(a)(III) and (iv) (which payments shall, notwithstanding the language of
5(a)(iii) and (iv) above, be paid to the Executive’s estate or beneficiary, as applicable, in a lump sum in cash within 30 days of the Date of Termination). 
 (c) Disability. If the Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of the Executive’s Disability during the Effective
Period, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to the Executive, other than for (i) payment of the Accrued Obligations and (ii) the timely payment of the benefits described in section 5(a)(iii) and (iv), but for this
purpose only computing the amount of such benefits that would have been payable during the 12 month period immediately following the Date of Termination. Notwithstanding the language of section 5(a)(i)(A), (iii), and (iv), to the extent permitted
under Section 409A, the payment of the obligations described in this subsection (c) shall be paid within 30 days of the Date of Termination (and the interest factor described in section 5(a)(i)(A) shall not apply) if the Disability
constitutes a disability within the meaning of section 409A of the Code and the regulations thereunder. 
 (d) Cause; Other
than for Good Reason. If, during the Effective Period, the Executive’s employment shall be terminated by the Company for Cause or the Executive terminates employment not for Good Reason: 
 (i) The Company may elect to have the Confidentiality and Non-Competition Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A become effective and
remain in effect in accordance with the terms of that Agreement, by giving notice of such election to the Executive, not later than five business days after the effectiveness of the Executive’s termination of employment. If the Company makes
such election, the Company will be obligated to pay to the Executive, in equal installments payable on the dates salary would have been paid had the Executive’s employment not terminated, during the one-year period following such termination,
an amount equal to one-third of the Severance Amount (the “Non-Compete Payment”) determined in accordance with Section 5(a)(i)(B) hereof. The commencement of the payments 

 
described in the preceding sentence shall be delayed until the 30-day period commencing six months subsequent to Executive’s Separation From Service and
the first payment shall consist of seven monthly installments, plus interest at the Prime Rate. The Non-Compete Payment shall represent payment for the performance of the covenants applicable to Executive pursuant to the Confidentiality and
Non-Competition Agreement. 
 (ii) If the Executive’s employment was terminated by the Company for Cause, the Company
shall pay the Executive’s then current annual base salary through the Date of Termination, plus the amount of any compensation previously deferred by the Executive (together with any accrued interest or earnings thereon and as adjusted to
reflect any other appreciation or depreciation in value) and any accrued vacation pay; in each case to the extent theretofore unpaid; provided that the payment of previously deferred compensation, as adjusted, shall only be paid as an immediate lump
sum if (x) a lump sum payment had been previously elected by the Executive or (y) the Separation From Service is within two years following the Change in Control and the Change in Control would also qualify as a Change in Control under
Section 409A and the regulations thereunder. 
 (iii) If the Executive terminates her employment other than for Good
Reason, the Company shall pay to the Executive the Accrued Obligations. In such case, all Accrued Obligations shall be paid to the Executive in a lump sum at the times set forth in section 5(a)(i)(A) above. 
 (iv) Upon payment by the Company of the applicable amounts under this Section 5(d), the Agreement shall terminate without further
obligations to the Executive. 
 6. Certain Additional Payments by the Company. The Company agrees that: 
 (a) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event it shall be determined that any payment or distribution by
the Company to or for the benefit of the Executive (whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise, but determined without regard to any additional payments required under this
Section 6) (a “Payment”) would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or if any interest or penalties are incurred by the Executive with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any
such interest and penalties, being hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Excise Tax”), then the Executive shall be entitled to receive an additional payment (a “Gross-Up Payment”) in an amount such that, after payment by
the Executive of all taxes (including any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes), including, without limitation, any income and employment taxes (and any interest and penalties imposed with respect thereto) and Excise Tax imposed
upon the 

 
Gross-Up Payment, and, after taking into account the phase out of the itemized deductions and personal exemptions attributable to the Gross-Up Payment, the
Executive retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payment. 
 (b) Subject to the
provisions of paragraph (c), below, all determinations required to be made under this Section 6, including whether and when a Gross-Up Payment is required and the amount of such Gross-Up Payment and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at
such determination, shall be made by KPMG Peat, Marwick (or another accounting firm designated by the Company) (the “Accounting Firm”), which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and the Executive within
fifteen (15) business days of the receipt of notice from the Executive that there has been a Payment, or such earlier time as is requested by the Company. In the event that the Accounting Firm is serving as accountant or auditor for the
individual, entity or group effecting the Change of Control, the Executive shall appoint another nationally recognized accounting firm to make the determinations required hereunder (which accounting firm shall then be referred to as the Accounting
Firm hereunder). All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company. Any Gross-Up Payment, as determined pursuant to this Section 6, shall be paid by the Company to the Executive within five (5) days of the
receipt of the Accounting Firm’s determination. If the Accounting Firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable by the Executive, it shall furnish the Executive with a written opinion that failure to report the Excise Tax on the
Executive’s applicable federal income tax return would not result in the imposition of a negligence or similar penalty. Any good faith determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and the Executive. As a result of the
uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible that Gross-Up Payments which will not have been made by the Company should have been made
(“Underpayment”), consistent with the calculations required to be made hereunder. In the event that the Company exhausts its remedies pursuant to paragraph (c), below, and the Executive thereafter is required to make a payment of any
Excise Tax, the Accounting Firm shall determine the amount of the Underpayment that has occurred and any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the Company to or for the benefit of the Executive. 
 (c) The Executive shall notify the Company in writing of any claim by the Internal Revenue Service that, if successful, would require the
payment by the Company of a Gross-Up Payment. Such notification shall be given as soon as practicable but no later than fifteen (15) business days after the Executive is informed in writing of such claim and shall apprise the Company of the
nature of such claim and the date on which such claim is requested to be paid. The Executive shall not pay such claim prior to the expiration of the thirty (30)-day period following the date on which Executive gives such notice to the Company (or
such shorter period ending on 

 
the date that any payment of taxes with respect to such claim is due). If the Company notifies the Executive in writing prior to the expiration of such
period that it desires to contest such claim, the Executive shall: 
 (i) Give the Company any information reasonably
requested by the Company relating to such claim, 
 (ii) Take such action in connection with contesting such claim as the
Company shall reasonably request in writing from time to time, including, without limitation, accepting legal representation with respect to such claim by an attorney reasonably selected by the Company, 
 (iii) Cooperate with the Company in good faith in order effectively to contest such claim, and 
 (iv) Permit the Company to participate in any proceedings relating to such claim; provided, however, that the Company shall bear and pay
directly all costs and expenses (including additional interest and penalties) incurred in connection with such contest and shall indemnify and hold the Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, for any Excise Tax or income tax (including interest
and penalties with respect thereto) imposed as a result of such representation and payment of costs and expenses. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this paragraph (c), the Company shall control all proceedings taken in connection with
such contest and, at its sole option, may pursue or forego any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with the taxing authority in respect of such claim and may, at its sole option, either direct the Executive to pay
the tax claimed and sue for a refund or contest the claim in any permissible manner; and the Executive agrees to prosecute such contest to a determination before any administrative tribunal, in a court of initial jurisdiction and in one or more
appellate courts, as the Company shall determine; provided, however, that if the Company directs the Executive to pay such claim and sue for a refund, the Company shall advance the amount of such payment to the Executive on an interest-free basis
and shall indemnify and hold the Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, from any Excise Tax or income tax (including interest or penalties with respect thereto) imposed with respect to such advance or with respect to any imputed income with
respect to such advance; and further provided that any extension of the statute of limitations relating to payment of taxes for the taxable year of the Executive with respect to which such contested amount is claimed to be due is limited solely to
such contested amount. Furthermore, the Company’s control of the contest shall be limited to issues with respect to which a Gross-Up Payment would be payable hereunder and the Executive shall be entitled to settle or contest, as the case may
be, any other issue raised by the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority. 

 (d) If, after the receipt by the Executive of an amount advanced by the Company pursuant
to paragraph (c), above, the Executive becomes entitled to receive any refund with respect to such claim, the Executive shall (subject to the Company’s complying with the requirements of said paragraph (c)) promptly pay to the Company the
amount of such refund (together with any interest paid or credited thereon, after taxes applicable thereto). If, after the receipt by the Executive of an amount advanced by the Company pursuant to said paragraph (c), a determination is made that the
Executive shall not be entitled to any refund with respect to such claim and the Company does not notify the Executive in writing of its intent to contest such denial of refund prior to the expiration of thirty (30) days after such
determination, then such advance shall be forgiven and shall not be required to be repaid and the amount of such advance shall offset, to the extent thereof, the amount of the Gross-Up Payment required to be paid. 
 (e) In order to comply with section 409A, all payments due under this section shall (i) not be made earlier than six months following
the Executive’s Separation From Service and (ii), if otherwise due, shall be made no later than the last date for payment provided by Treasury Regulations section 1.409A 3(i)(iv), or successor regulations 
 7. Non-exclusivity of Rights. Except as explicitly provided in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or limit the
Executive’s continuing or future participation in any plan, program, policy or practice provided by the Company or any of its affiliated companies and for which the Executive may qualify, nor shall anything herein limit or otherwise affect such
rights as the Executive may have under applicable law or under any other contract or agreement with the Company or any of its affiliated companies. Amounts which are vested benefits or which the Executive is otherwise entitled to receive under any
other plan, policy, practice or program of, or any other contract or agreement with, the Company or any of its affiliated companies at, or subsequent to, the Date of Termination shall be payable in accordance with such plan, policy, practice or
program or contract or agreement except as explicitly modified by this Agreement. 
 8. Full Settlement; Resolution of Disputes

 (a) The Company’s obligation to make the payments provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its
obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other claim, right or action which the Company may have against the Executive or others (except as specifically provided with respect to the Non-Compete
Payment). In no event shall the Executive be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to the Executive under any of the provisions of this Agreement and, except as provided in
Section 5(a)(iii) of this Agreement, such amounts shall not be reduced whether or not the Executive obtains other employment. 

 
The Company agrees to pay promptly upon receipt of proper invoices, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all legal fees and expenses which the Executive
may reasonably incur as a result of any contest by the Company, the Executive or others of the validity or enforceability of, or liability under, any provision of this Agreement or any guarantee of performance thereof (including as a result of any
contest initiated by the Executive about the amount of any payment due pursuant to this Agreement), plus in each case interest on any delayed payment at the applicable federal rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2)(A) of the Code; provided,
however, that in the event that it is finally judicially determined that the Executive was terminated for Cause, then the Executive shall be obligated to repay to the Company the full amount of all such legal fees and expenses paid for the Executive
by the Company in connection with that contest, plus interest at the rate described above. 
 (b) If there shall be any
dispute between the Company and the Executive (i) in the event of any termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company, whether such termination was for Cause, or (ii) in the event of any termination of employment by the
Executive, whether Good Reason existed, then, unless and until there is a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction declaring that such termination was for Cause or that the determination by the Executive of the existence of
Good Reason was not made in good faith, the Company shall pay all amounts, and provide all benefits, to the Executive and/or the Executive’s family or other beneficiaries, as the case may be, that the Company would be required to pay or provide
pursuant to Section 5(a) hereof as though such termination were by the Company without Cause or by the Executive with Good Reason; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any disputed amounts pursuant to this paragraph
except upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Executive and/or the other recipient(s), as the case may be, to repay all such amounts to which the Executive or other recipient, as the case may be, is ultimately adjudged by such court
not to be entitled. 
 9. Confidential Information. The Executive shall hold in a fiduciary capacity for the benefit of the Company
all secret or confidential information, knowledge or data relating to the Company or any of its affiliated companies, and their respective businesses, which shall have been obtained by the Executive during the Executive’s employment by the
Company or any of its affiliated companies and which shall not be or become public knowledge (other than by acts by the Executive or representatives of the Executive in violation of this Agreement). After termination of the Executive’s
employment with the Company, the Executive shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company or as may otherwise be required by law or legal process, communicate or divulge any such information, knowledge or data to anyone other than the
Company and those designated by it. However, in no event shall an asserted violation of the provisions of this Section 9 constitute a basis for deferring or withholding any amounts otherwise payable to the Executive under this Agreement.

 10. Successors 
 (a) This Agreement is personal to the Executive and, without the prior written consent of the Company, no obligations or rights hereunder
shall be assignable by the Executive otherwise than by will or the laws of descent or distribution. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive’s legal representatives. 
 (b) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns. 
 (c) The Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or
substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to assume expressly and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place.
As used in this Agreement, “Company” shall mean the Company as hereinbefore defined and any successor to its business and/or assets as aforesaid which assumes and agrees to perform this Agreement, by operation of law or otherwise.

 11. Miscellaneous 
 (a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois, without reference to principles of choice of law. The captions of this Agreement are for convenience only and

 (f) The Executive and the Company acknowledge that this Agreement is not a contract of employment and that, except as may otherwise be
provided under any other written agreement between the Executive and the Company, the employment of the Executive by the Company is, and shall remain during the Effective Period, “at will” and may, subject to Section 5, above, be

 EXHIBIT A 
 CONFIDENTIALITY AND NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT 
 CONFIDENTIALITY AND NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT, dated
as of May 6, 2008, by and between AMCORE Financial, Inc. (the “Company”) and Judith C. Sutfin (“Executive”). 
 Section 1. Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation. 
 (a) During the period beginning on the “Effective
Date,” as that term is defined in the Transitional Compensation Agreement of even date herewith, and continuing while Executive is serving as an executive officer of the Company and for one year following the termination of Executive’s
employment with the Company, any successor thereto, and its or their subsidiaries (the “Noncompetition Period”), if such termination of employment occurs within one year after the Effective Date and Executive becomes entitled to receive
the “Non-Compete Payment” as defined in Section 5 of the Transitional Compensation Agreement, Executive will not, within fifty (50) miles of the Company’s headquarters in Rockford, Illinois or within twenty-five
(25) miles of any office or branch location in which the Company was conducting business as of the Effective Date, engage in “Competition” with the Company. For purposes of this Confidentiality and Non-Competition Agreement,
Competition by Executive shall mean Executive’s: 
 (i) engaging in, including without limitation consulting or start-up
activities for Executive’s own account or any third party, the business of commercial banking (including trust and asset management and mortgage banking); or 
 (ii) becoming interested in, or otherwise directly or indirectly being employed by or acting as a consultant or lender to, or render any
services to, or being a director, officer, employee, principal, agent, stockholder, manager, member, owner or partner of, employer of, or permitting her name to be used in connection with the activities of any other business or organization (a
“Competing Business”) which engages in, or is preparing to engage in, the business of commercial banking (including trust and asset management and mortgage banking); provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, it shall not be a
violation of this Section 2(a) for Executive to become the registered or beneficial owner of up to two (2%) percent of any class of the capital stock of a Competing Business registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
provided that Executive does not otherwise participate in the business of such corporation. 
 (b) during the Noncompetition
Period, Executive will not in any manner, directly or indirectly: 
 (i) solicit (or cause, or authorize, to be solicited),
divert or otherwise attempt to obtain the business of any person who is, or 

 
has at any time within three years prior to the date of such action been, a customer, supplier, licensee or business relation of the Company for any purpose
which is competitive with the Company’s business; 
 (ii) intentionally disturb or attempt to disturb in any adverse
respect any business relationship between any person and the Company; 
 (iii) solicit from any customer of the Company, or
from any known potential customer of the Company, business which has been the subject of a known written or oral bid, offer or proposal by the Company, or of substantial preparation with a view to making such a bid, proposal or offer, in any case,
during the two-year period immediately preceding the termination for any reason whatsoever of her service with the Company; 
 (iv) seek or attempt to persuade, induce or encourage any director, officer, employee, consultant, advisor or other agent of the Company to discontinue her or her status or employment therewith or to become employed or otherwise engaged in
a Competing Business; and 
 (v) solicit or employ, or otherwise hire or engage as an employee, independent contractor,
consultant, advisor or otherwise, any person at any time within 12 months following the date of cessation of employment of such person or the termination of such person’s other status, as the case may be, with the Company. 
 Section 2. Confidentiality; Intellectual Property; Disclosure. 
 (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Confidentiality and Non-Competition Agreement, at all times hereafter, Executive shall keep
secret and retain in strictest confidence, any and all Confidential Information (as hereinafter defined) relating to the Company, and shall use such Confidential Information only in furtherance of the performance by him of her duties as an executive
officer of the Company and not for personal benefit or the benefit of any interest adverse to the interests of the Company. For purposes of this Confidentiality and Non-Competition Agreement, “Confidential Information” shall mean any
confidential or proprietary information including, without limitation, plans, specifications, models, samples, data, customer lists and customer information, computer programs and documentation, and other technical and/or business information, in
whatever form, tangible or intangible, printed, electronic or magnetic, that can be communicated by whatever means available at such time, that relates to the Company’s current business or future business contemplated during the period
Executive serves as an executive officer of the Company, products, services and/or developments, or information received from others that the Company is obligated to treat as confidential or proprietary, and Executive shall not disclose such
Confidential Information to any person other than the Company, except as may be required by law or court or administrative order (in which event Executive shall so notify the Company as promptly as practicable). Upon the termination of
Executive’s position as an executive officer of the Company for any reason, Executive shall promptly return to the Company or destroy all copies, 

  

 A-2 

 
reproductions and summaries of Confidential Information in her possession or control and erase the same from all media in her possession or control, and, if
the Company so requests, shall certify in writing that she has done so. All Confidential Information is and shall remain the property of the Company, or in the case of information that the Company receives from a third party which it is obligated to
treat as confidential, then the property of such third party. 
 (b) All Intellectual Property (as hereinafter defined)
created, developed, co-developed, obtained or conceived of by Executive during the period Executive is serves as an executive officer of the Company, and all business opportunities presented to Executive during the period Executive serves as an
executive officer of the Company, shall be owned by and belong exclusively to the Company, provided that they reasonably relate to any of the business of the Company on the date of such creation, development, obtaining or conception, and Executive
shall (i) promptly disclose any such Intellectual Property or business opportunity to the Company, and (ii) promptly execute and deliver to the Company, without additional compensation, such instruments as the Company may require from time
to time to evidence its ownership of any such Intellectual Property or business opportunity (the “Intellectual Property Documents”). If the Company is unable because of Executive’s mental or physical incapacity or for any other reason
to secure Executive’s signature for any Intellectual Property Document, then Executive hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as her agent and attorney in fact, to act for and in her
behalf and stead to execute and file any Intellectual Property Document and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to evidence or perfect the Company’s ownership and rights of and to any Intellectual Property or business opportunity with the
same legal force and effect as if executed by Executive. For purposes of this Confidentiality and Non-Competition Agreement, the term “Intellectual Property” means any and all of the following and all statutory and/or common law rights
throughout the world in, arising out of, or associated therewith: (i) all patents and applications therefor, including docketed patent disclosures awaiting filing, reissues, divisions, renewals, extensions, provisionals, continuations and
continuations-in-part thereof; (ii) all inventions (whether patentable or not), inventions disclosures and improvements, all trade secrets, confidential business information (including ideas, research and development, know-how, compositions,
designs, specifications, pricing and cost information and business and market plans and proposals), proprietary information, manufacturing, engineering and technical drawings and specifications, processes, designs and technology; (iii) all
works of authorship, “moral rights,” copyrights (including derivative works thereof), mask works, copyright and mask work registrations and applications therefor; (iv) all trade names, trade dress, logos, product names, collective
marks, collective membership marks, trademarks certification marks and service marks, trademark and service mark registrations and applications together with the goodwill of the business symbolized by the names and the marks; (v) all data and
related documents, object code, databases, passwords, encryption technology, firmware, development tools, files, records and data, and all media on which any of the foregoing is recorded; (vi) any similar, corresponding or equivalent rights to
any of the foregoing; (vii) all documentation related to any of the foregoing; and (viii) all goodwill associated with any of the foregoing. 
  

 A-3 

 Section 3. Non-Disparagement. 
 Executive shall not, at any time from and after the Effective Date, make statements or representations, or otherwise communicate, directly
or indirectly, in writing, orally, or otherwise, or take any action which may, directly or indirectly, disparage or be damaging to the Company, its successors, subsidiaries or affiliates or their respective officers, directors, employees, advisors,
businesses or reputations, and the Company, its successors, subsidiaries and affiliates and their respective officers, employees, and agents shall not make any such statements or representations regarding Executive. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Executive or any other person from making truthful statements that are required by applicable law, regulation or legal process. 
 Section 4. Cooperation With Regard to Litigation . Executive agrees to cooperate with the Company, at any time from and after the Effective Date (including following Executive’s termination of
employment), by making herself available to testify on behalf of the Company or any successor, subsidiary or affiliate of the Company, in any action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, and to assist the
Company, or any successor, subsidiary or affiliate of the Company, in any such action, suit, or proceeding, by providing information and meeting and consulting with the Board or its representatives or counsel, or representatives or counsel to the
Company, or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company, as may be reasonably requested and after taking into account Executive’s responsibilities and obligations to third parties. The Company agrees to reimburse Executive, on an after-tax
basis, for all expenses actually incurred in connection with her provision of testimony or assistance hereunder. 
 Section 5.
Covenants Reasonable. 
 Executive hereby acknowledges that the business of the Company is highly competitive.
Executive further acknowledges that this Confidentiality and Non-Competition Agreement is being entered into in connection with the Transitional Compensation Agreement, that her service to the Company will be of a special and unique character, and
that she will continue to be identified personally with the Company. Executive also acknowledges that service as an executive officer of the Company will require that she have access to some of the Company’s most highly confidential business
information, trade secrets and proprietary information. The parties therefore acknowledge that the restrictions contained in Sections 1 and 2 hereof are a reasonable and necessary protection of the immediate interests of the Company, and any
violation of these restrictions would cause substantial injury to the Company and that the Company would not have entered into the Transitional Compensation Agreement and this Confidentiality and Non-Competition Agreement without receiving the
additional consideration offered by Executive in binding herself to any of these restrictions. 
  

 A-4 

 Section 6. Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction; Injunctive Relief. 
 This Confidentiality and Non-Competition Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the
State of Illinois, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by Executive of any of these restrictions, the Company shall be entitled to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for an
injunction restraining Executive from such breach or threatened breach; provided, however, that the right to apply for an injunction shall not be construed as prohibiting the Company from pursuing any other available remedies for such breach or
threatened breach. 
 Section 7. Notices. 
 Unless otherwise provided herein, any notice, exercise of rights or other communication required or permitted to be given hereunder shall
be in writing and shall be given by overnight delivery service such as Federal Express, telecopy (or like transmission) or personal delivery against receipt, or mailed by registered or certified mail (return receipt requested), to the party to whom
it is given at such party’s address set forth below such party’s name on the signature page or such other address as such party may hereafter specify by notice to the other party hereto. Any notice or other communication shall be deemed to
have been given as of the date so personally delivered or transmitted by telecopy or like transmission or on the next business day when sent by overnight delivery service. 
 Section 8. Amendment. 
 This Confidentiality and Non-Competition Agreement may be amended, modified, superseded or canceled, and the terms and covenants hereof may be waived, only by a written instrument executed by both of the parties hereto, or in the case of a
waiver, by the party waiving compliance. The failure of either party at any time or times to require performance of any provision hereof shall in no manner affect the right at a later time to enforce the same. 
 Section 9. Binding Effect. 
 This Confidentiality and Non-Competition Agreement is not assignable by Executive. This Confidentiality and Non-Competition Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and any successor
organizations which shall succeed to the Company by merger or consolidation or operation of law or otherwise, or by acquisition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company. 
 Section 10. Severability. 
 Executive acknowledges and agrees that the restrictive covenants and agreements contained herein (the “Restrictive Covenants”) are reasonable and valid in geographic and temporal scope and in all other
respects, and do not impose limitations greater than that are necessary to protect the goodwill, the confidential information and any other business interests of the Company, or any of its successors or assigns. If, however, any court subsequently
determines that any of such covenants or agreements, or any part thereof, is invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of such covenants and agreements shall not thereby be affected and shall be given full effect without regard to 

  

 A-5 

 
the invalid portions thereof. In addition, if any court construes any of the Restrictive Covenants, or any part thereof, to be unenforceable because of the
duration of such provision or the area covered thereby, such court shall have the power to reduce the duration or area of such provision and, in its reduced form, such provision shall then be enforceable and shall be enforced. 
 Section 11. Execution in Counterparts. 
 This Confidentiality and Non-Competition Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument.

 Section 12. Entire Agreement. 
 This Confidentiality and Non-Competition Agreement (together with applicable provisions of the Transitional Compensation Agreement) sets forth the entire agreement, and supersedes all prior agreements and any other
agreement between the parties and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof as applicable to any period after the Effective Date (except for other agreements relating to confidentiality,
proprietary information and intellectual property as may be entered into by Executive and the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate). 
 Section 13. Titles and Headings. 
 Titles and headings to Sections herein are for purposes of reference
only, and shall in no way limit, define or otherwise affect the meaning or interpretation of any of the provisions of this Confidentiality and Non-Competition Agreement. 
 Section 14. Conflicts of Interest; Representations and Warranties. 
 Executive
specifically covenants, warrants and represents to the Company that she has the full, complete and entire right and authority to enter into this Confidentiality and Non-Competition Agreement, that she has no agreement, duty, commitment or
responsibility or obligation of any kind or nature whatsoever with any corporation, partnership, firm, company, joint venture or other person which would conflict in any manner whatsoever with any of her duties, obligations or responsibilities to
the Company pursuant to this Confidentiality and Non-Competition Agreement or which could interfere with Executive’s performance under this Confidentiality and Non-Competition Agreement, that she is not in possession of any document or other
tangible property of any other person of a confidential or proprietary nature which would conflict in any manner whatsoever with any of her duties, obligations or responsibilities to the Company pursuant to this Confidentiality and Non-Competition
Agreement and Executive’s performance of her obligations to the Company will not breach any agreement by which Executive is bound not to disclose any proprietary information, and that she is fully ready, willing and able to perform each and all
of her duties, obligations and responsibilities pursuant to this Confidentiality and Non-Competition Agreement.
