 REVOLVING CREDIT AGREEMENT 

THIS REVOLVING CREDIT AGREEMENT, dated as of October 13, 2016 (this “Agreement”), is entered into
by and between BYLINE BANCORP, INC., an Illinois corporation, as Borrower (“Borrower”) and THE PRIVATEBANK AND TRUST COMPANY, as Lender (“PrivateBank” or “Lender”). 

R E C I T A L S: 

A. Borrower is a bank holding company that owns one hundred percent (100%) of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Byline Bank, an
Illinois banking corporation, of Chicago, Illinois (“Byline Bank”), and is acquiring (a) Ridgestone Financial Services, Inc., a Wisconsin corporation (“Ridgestone
Financial”), by causing Ridgestone Financial to merge with and into Borrower (the “Merger”); and (b) Ridgestone Bank, a Wisconsin banking corporation (“Ridgestone
Bank”), by causing Ridgestone Bank to merge with and into Byline Bank (the “Bank Merger”), pursuant to the terms and conditions of an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of
June 9, 2016, among Borrower and Ridgestone Financial (the “Merger Agreement”), all to occur simultaneously on the Closing Date thereof. The banks identified in the immediately preceding sentence may
be referred to collectively as the “Depository Institution Subsidiaries” and individually as a “Depository Institution
Subsidiary.” Byline Bank may also be referred to herein as the “Depository Institution Subsidiary.” 

B. Borrower is internally raising capital through a private placement with personal and institutional investors in order to raise
approximately Thirty Million and 00/100ths Dollars ($30,000,000.00) in a preferred stock offering, whereby the Borrower will be issuing noncumulative perpetual preferred stock pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D, which stock shall be non-callable for five (5) years, will have a dividend rate per annum, and no minimum investment (the “Preferred Stock Offering”). 

C. Borrower has requested that Lender provide it with a revolving
line-of-credit facility (the “Revolving Loans” or “Loan”) in the principal amount of up to Thirty
Million and 00/100ths Dollars ($30,000,000.00) (the “Revolving Loan Amount”), subject to permanent reduction to Five Million and 00/100ths Dollars ($5,000,000.00), as further provided
and limited herein. 
 D. The proceeds of the Revolving Loan shall initially be used by Borrower to fund the acquisition of Ridgestone
Financial and Ridgestone Bank, in order to bridge the gap between the Merger and Bank Merger and the consummation of Preferred Stock Offering, as further provided and limited herein, and thereafter for general corporate purposes. 

E. Lender is willing to lend to Borrower the principal amount of up to $30,000,000.00 under the Loan in accordance with the terms, subject to
the conditions and in reliance on the recitals, representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents (as defined below).

deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by Lender; or (ii) shall impose on Lender any other condition affecting the Note; and the result of anything described in clauses (i) and (ii) above is to increase the cost to (or to
impose a cost on) Lender of making or maintaining the Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by Lender under this Agreement or under the Note with respect thereto, then upon demand by Lender (which demand shall be
accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand and a calculation of the amount thereof in reasonable detail), Borrower shall pay directly to Lender such additional amount as will compensate Lender for such increased cost or such
reduction. 
 (b) If Lender shall reasonably determine that any change in, or the adoption or
phase-in of, any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency
charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or the compliance by Lender or any Person controlling Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central
bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender’s or such controlling Person’s capital as a consequence of Lender’s obligations hereunder to a level below that which Lender or such
controlling Person could have achieved but for such change, adoption, phase-in or compliance (taking into consideration Lender’s or such controlling Person’s policies with respect to capital
adequacy) by an amount deemed by Lender or such controlling Person to be material, then from time to time, upon demand by Lender (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand and a calculation of the
amount thereof in reasonable detail), Borrower shall pay to Lender such additional amount as will compensate Lender or such controlling Person for such reduction. 

6.2. Discretion of Lender as to
Manner of Funding. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Lender shall be entitled to fund and maintain its funding of the Loan in any manner it sees fit. 

6.3. Mitigation of Circumstances. Lender shall promptly notify Borrower of any
event of which it has knowledge which will result in, and will use reasonable commercial efforts available to it (and not, in Lender’s sole judgment, otherwise disadvantageous to Lender) to mitigate or avoid any obligation by Borrower to pay
any amount pursuant to Sections 5.5 or 6.1 (and, if Lender has given notice of any such event described above and thereafter such event ceases to exist, Lender shall promptly so notify Borrower). 

6.4. Conclusiveness of Statements; Survival
of Provisions. Determinations and statements of Lender pursuant to Sections 6.1 shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error. Lender may use reasonable averaging and
attribution methods in determining compensation under Sections 6.1, and the provisions of such Sections shall survive repayment of the Obligations, cancellation of the Note and the termination of this Agreement.

deliver each Loan Document to which it is a party; Borrower is duly authorized to borrow monies hereunder; and Borrower is duly authorized to perform its Obligations under each Loan Document to which it is a party. The execution, delivery and
performance by Borrower of each Loan Document to which it is a party, and the borrowings by Borrower hereunder, do not and will not (a) require any consent or approval of any governmental agency or authority (other than any consent or approval
which has been obtained and is in full force and effect), (b) conflict with (i) any provision of law, (ii) the charter, by-laws or other organizational documents of Borrower or (iii) any

7.4. Financial Condition. The audited consolidated financial statements of Borrower and its
Subsidiaries as at December 31, 2015, copies of which have been delivered to Lender, and the unaudited consolidated financial statements of Borrower and its Subsidiaries as at June 30, 2016, copies of which have been delivered to Lender,

commitments being sought by any governmental agency. 
 7.7. Litigation and
Contingent Liabilities. No litigation (including derivative actions), arbitration proceeding or governmental investigation or proceeding is pending or, to Borrower’s knowledge, threatened against either
Borrower or any Subsidiary which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, except as set forth in Schedule 7.7. Other than any liability incident to such litigation or proceedings, neither
Borrower nor any Subsidiary has any material contingent liabilities not listed on Schedule 7.7. 

  
 15 

 7.8. Ownership of Properties;

Proceeds. Borrower intends to use the proceeds of the Loan initially to fund the acquisition of Ridgestone Financial and Ridgestone Bank, in order to bridge the gap between the Merger and Bank Merger and the consummation of
Preferred Stock Offering, as further provided and limited herein, and thereafter for general corporate purposes. In addition, all acquisitions must comply with all financial covenants herein on a pro-forma

 7.11.
Pension Plans. 
 (a) The Unfunded Liability of all Pension Plans does not in the aggregate exceed twenty
percent (20%) of the Total Plan Liability for all such Pension Plans. Each Pension Plan complies in all material respects with all applicable requirements of law and regulations. No contribution failure under Section 412 of the Code,
Section 302 of ERISA or the terms of any Pension Plan has occurred with respect to any Pension Plan, sufficient to give rise to a Lien under Section 302(f) of ERISA, or otherwise to have a Material Adverse Effect. There are no pending or,
to the knowledge of Borrower, threatened, claims, actions, investigations or lawsuits against any Pension Plan, any fiduciary of any Pension Plan, or Borrower or other any member of the Controlled Group with respect to a Pension Plan or a
Multiemployer Pension Plan which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither Borrower nor any other member of the Controlled Group has engaged in any prohibited transaction (as defined in Section 4975 of the Code or
Section 406 of ERISA) in connection with any Pension Plan or Multiemployer Pension Plan which would subject that Person to any material liability. Within the past five years, neither Borrower nor any other member of the Controlled Group has
engaged in a transaction which resulted in a Pension Plan with an Unfunded Liability being transferred out of the Controlled Group, which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Termination Event has occurred or is
reasonably expected to occur with respect to any Pension Plan, which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (b)
All contributions (if any) have been made to any Multiemployer Pension Plan that are required to be made by Borrower or any other member of the Controlled Group under the terms of the 

  
 16 

 
plan or of any collective bargaining agreement or by applicable law; neither Borrower nor any other member of the Controlled Group has withdrawn or partially withdrawn from any Multiemployer
Pension Plan, incurred any withdrawal liability with respect to any such plan or received notice of any claim or demand for withdrawal liability or partial withdrawal liability from any such plan, and no condition has occurred which, if continued,
could result in a withdrawal or partial withdrawal from any such plan; and neither Borrower nor any other member of the Controlled Group has received any notice that any Multiemployer Pension Plan is in reorganization, that increased contributions
may be required to avoid a reduction in plan benefits or the imposition of any excise tax, that any such plan is or has been funded at a rate less than that required under Section 412 of the Code, that any such plan is or may be terminated, or
that any such plan is or may become insolvent. 
 7.12. Investment Company
Act. Neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company” or a “subsidiary” of an “investment company,”
within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940. 
 7.13. Compliance with
Laws. Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries is in compliance in all material respects with the requirements of all laws and all orders, writs, injunctions and decrees applicable to it or to its properties, except in such instances
in which (a) such requirement of law or order, writ, injunction or decree is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted or (b) the failure to comply therewith, either individually or in the aggregate,
could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 7.14. Regulation U.
Neither Borrower nor any Subsidiary is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying Margin Stock. 

7.15. Taxes. Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries has timely filed all tax returns and reports required by law to have
been filed by it and has paid all taxes and governmental charges due and payable with respect to such return, except any such taxes or charges which are being diligently contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which adequate
reserves in accordance with GAAP shall have been set aside on its books. Borrower and each its Subsidiaries have made adequate reserves on their books and records in accordance with GAAP for all taxes that have accrued but which are not yet due and
payable. Neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has participated in any transaction that relates to a year of the taxpayer (which is still open under the applicable statute of limitations) which is a “reportable transaction” within
the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4(b)(2) (irrespective of the date when the transaction was entered into). 

7.16. Solvency, etc. On the Closing Date, and immediately prior to and after giving effect to each
borrowing hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof, (a) the fair value of Borrower and its Subsidiaries’ assets on a consolidated basis is greater than the amount of its liabilities (including disputed, contingent and unliquidated
liabilities) on a consolidated basis as such value is established and liabilities evaluated in accordance with GAAP, (b) the present fair saleable value of Borrower and its Subsidiaries’ assets on a consolidated basis is not less than the
amount that will be required to pay the probable liability on its debts on a consolidated basis as they become absolute and matured, (c) Borrower and its Subsidiaries are able to realize upon their assets and pay their debts and other
liabilities (including disputed, contingent and unliquidated liabilities) as they mature in the normal course of business, (d) they do not intend to, and do not believe they will, incur debts or liabilities on a consolidated basis beyond their
ability to pay as such debts and liabilities mature and (e) they are not engaged in business or a transaction, and are not about to engage in business or a transaction, for which their property would constitute unreasonably small capital. 

  
 17 

 7.17. Environmental Matters. The on-going operations of Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries comply in all respects with all Environmental Laws, except such non-compliance which could not (if enforced in
accordance with applicable law) reasonably be expected to result, either individually or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect. Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries has obtained, and maintained in good standing, all licenses, permits,
authorizations, registrations and other approvals required under any Environmental Law and required for their respective ordinary course operations, and for their reasonably anticipated future operations, and each of Borrower and each of its
Subsidiaries is in compliance with all terms and conditions thereof, except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to result in material liability to Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and could not reasonably be expected to
result, either individually or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect. Neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries nor any of their properties or operations is subject to, or reasonably anticipates the issuance of, any written order from or
agreement with any Federal, state or local governmental authority, nor subject to any judicial or docketed administrative or other proceeding, respecting any Environmental Law, Environmental Claim or Hazardous Substance. There are no Hazardous
Substances or other conditions or circumstances existing with respect to any property, arising from operations prior to the Closing Date, or relating to any waste disposal, that would reasonably be expected to result, either individually or in the
aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect. Neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has any underground storage tanks that are not properly registered or permitted under applicable Environmental Laws or that at any time have released, leaked,
disposed of or otherwise discharged Hazardous Substances. 
 7.18. Insurance. Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries
and their properties are insured with financially sound and reputable insurance companies which are not Affiliates, in such amounts, with such deductibles and covering such risks as are customarily carried by companies engaged in similar businesses

on behalf of Borrower to Lender pursuant hereto or in connection herewith will be, true and accurate in every material respect on the date as of which such information is dated or certified, and none of such information is or will be incomplete by
omitting to state any material fact necessary to make such information not misleading in light of the circumstances under which made (it being recognized by Lender that any projections and forecasts provided by Borrower are based on good faith
estimates and assumptions believed by Borrower to be reasonable as of the date of the applicable projections or assumptions and that actual results during the period or periods covered by any such projections and forecasts may differ from projected
or forecasted results). 
 7.20. Intellectual Property. Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries
owns and possesses or has a license or other right to use all patents, patent rights, trademarks, trademark rights, trade names, trade name rights, service marks, service mark rights and copyrights as are necessary for the conduct of the businesses,
without any infringement upon rights of others which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. None of the material Intellectual Property is the subject of any licensing or franchise agreement pursuant to which Borrower or any
Subsidiary is the licensor or franchisor. 
 7.21. Burdensome Obligations. Neither Borrower nor
any of its Subsidiaries is a party to any agreement or contract or subject to any restriction contained in its organizational documents which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

  
 18 

 7.22. Labor Matters. Neither Borrower nor any of its
Subsidiaries is subject to any labor or collective bargaining agreement. There are no existing or threatened strikes, lockouts or other labor disputes that singly or in the aggregate could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

which Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which it or its properties may be bound or affected, which default would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the financial condition, results of operations or
business of Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. 
 7.25. Hedging Agreements. Neither
Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to any Hedging Agreement other than (i) Hedging Agreements in favor of Lender, and (ii) a bona fide (not speculative) unsecured Hedging Agreement, in form and substance reasonably acceptable

INTERESTS IN THE COLLATERAL. THIS INSURANCE MAY, BUT NEED NOT, PROTECT BORROWER’S INTERESTS. THE COVERAGE THAT
LENDER PURCHASES MAY NOT PAY ANY CLAIM THAT IS MADE AGAINST BORROWER IN CONNECTION WITH THE COLLATERAL. BORROWER MAY
LATER CANCEL ANY INSURANCE PURCHASED BY LENDER, BUT ONLY AFTER PROVIDING LENDER WITH EVIDENCE THAT BORROWER HAS

kind. Lender shall promptly advise Borrower of any such declaration, but failure to do so shall not impair the effect of such declaration. The date on which the Commitment shall immediately
terminate as provided in clause (a) or (b) shall be the “Termination Date”. Nothing contained herein is intended to restrict the Lender’s rights under any of the Loan Documents or at law or in
equity, and the Lender may exercise all such rights and remedies as and when they are available, including all other rights and remedies for default provided by the UCC, as well as any other applicable law and this Agreement, INCLUDING, WITHOUT
LIMITATION, THE RIGHT TO REPOSSESS, RENDER UNUSABLE AND/OR DISPOSE OF THE COLLATERAL WITHOUT JUDICIAL PROCESS. The rights and remedies specified herein are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies which the Lender would otherwise
have, and Borrower shall be liable for all costs of collection, including Lender’s reasonable attorney’s fees. The Lender may permit the Borrower to attempt to remedy any default without waiving its rights and remedies hereunder, and the
Lender may waive any default without waiving any other subsequent or prior default by the Borrower. Furthermore, delay on the part of the Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or at law shall not operate as a waiver thereof,
nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or privilege preclude other exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. No waiver nor suspension shall be
deemed to have occurred unless the Lender has expressly agreed in writing specifying such waiver or suspension 

 

	SECTION 13.	GENERAL 

 13.1. Waiver; Amendments. No delay
on the part of Lender in the exercise of any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by Lender of any right, power or remedy preclude other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of
any other right, power or remedy. No amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to, any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and acknowledged
by Lender, and then any such amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. 

13.2. Confirmations. Borrower and each holder of a Note agree from time to time, upon written request received by it
from the other, to confirm to the other in writing the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loan then outstanding under such Note. 

13.3. Notices. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.2, all notices
hereunder shall be in writing (including facsimile transmission) and shall be sent to the applicable party at its address shown on Annex B hereto or at such other address as such party may, by written notice
received by the other parties, have designated as its address for such purpose. Notices sent by facsimile transmission shall be deemed to have been given when sent; notices sent by mail shall be deemed to have been given three (3) Business Days
after the date when sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid; and notices sent by hand delivery or overnight courier service shall be deemed to have been given when received. For purposes of
Section 2.2, Lender shall be entitled to rely on telephonic instructions from any person that Lender in good faith believes is an authorized officer or employee of Borrower, and Borrower shall hold Lender
harmless from any loss, cost or expense resulting from any such reliance. 
 13.4. Computations. Where the character
or amount of any asset or liability or item of income or expense is required to be determined, or any consolidation or other accounting computation is required to be made, for the purpose of this Agreement, such determination or calculation
shall, to the extent applicable and except as otherwise specified in this Agreement, be made in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied; provided, that if Borrower notifies Lender that Borrower wishes to amend any covenant in
Section 9 or Section 10 (or any related definition) to eliminate or to take into account the effect of any change in GAAP on the operation of such covenant (or if Lender
notifies Borrower that 

  
 33 

 
Lender wishes to amend Section 9 or Section 10 (or any related definition) for such purpose), then Borrower’s
compliance with such covenant shall be determined on the basis of GAAP in effect immediately before the relevant change in GAAP became effective, until either such notice is withdrawn or such covenant (or related definition) is amended in a manner
satisfactory to Borrower and Lender. 
 13.5. Costs, Expenses and
Taxes. 
 (a) Borrower agrees to pay (a) herewith a commitment fee in the amount of $300,000.00, and
(b) on demand all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of Lender (including Attorney Costs and any Taxes) in connection with the preparation, execution,
syndication, delivery and administration (including perfection and protection of any Collateral, and the costs of Intralink (or similar services), if applicable) of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and all other documents provided for herein
or delivered or to be delivered hereunder or in connection herewith (including any amendment, supplement or waiver to any Loan Document), whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated, and all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including Attorney Costs and any Taxes) incurred by Lender after an Event of Default in connection with the collection of the Obligations or
the enforcement of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any such other documents or during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect thereof. In addition, Borrower agrees to pay, and to save Lender harmless from all liability for,
any fees of Borrower’s auditors in connection with any reasonable exercise by Lender of its rights pursuant to this Agreement. All Obligations provided for in this Section 13.5 shall survive repayment of
the Loan, cancellation of the Note and termination of this Agreement. 
 (b) Borrower agrees to pay, and to save Lender harmless from, any
and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, any and all stamp, excise, sales or other taxes which may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to any of the Collateral or in connection with any of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 
 (c) The agreements in this Section 13.5 shall
survive repayment and termination of all commitments under this Agreement, any foreclosure under, or any modification, release or discharge of, any or all of the Collateral Documents and termination of any Loan Document. 

13.6. Governing Law. This agreement and each note shall be a contract made under and governed
by the internal laws of the State of Illinois applicable to contracts made and to be performed entirely within such state, without regard to conflict of laws principles. 

13.7. Confidentiality. As required by federal law and Lender’s policies and practices, Lender may need to obtain,
verify, and record certain customer identification information and documentation in connection with opening or maintaining accounts, or establishing or continuing to provide services. Lender agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts (equivalent
to the efforts Lender applies to maintain the confidentiality of its own confidential information) to maintain as confidential all information provided to it by Borrower and designated as confidential, except that Lender may disclose such
information (a) to Persons employed or engaged by Lender in evaluating, approving, structuring or administering the Loan and the Commitment; (b) to any assignee or participant or potential assignee or participant that has agreed to comply
with the covenant contained in this Section 13.7 (and any such assignee or participant or potential assignee or participant may disclose such information to Persons employed or engaged by them as described in
clause (a) above); (c) as required or requested by any federal or state regulatory authority or examiner, or any insurance industry association, or as reasonably believed by Lender to be compelled by any court decree, subpoena or legal or
administrative order or process; (d) as, on the advice of Lender’s counsel, is required by law; (e) in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy under the Loan Documents or in connection with any litigation to which Lender
is 

  
 34 

 
a party; (f) to any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about Lender’s investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to Lender;
(g) to any Affiliate of Lender or any other Person who may provide Bank Products to Borrower or its Subsidiaries; (h) to Lender’s independent auditors and other professional advisors as to which such information has been identified as
confidential; or (i) that ceases to be confidential through no fault of Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower consents to the publication by Lender of a tombstone or similar advertising material relating to the financing transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, and Lender reserves the right to provide to industry trade organizations information necessary and customary for inclusion in league table measurements. If any provision of any confidentiality agreement, non-disclosure agreement or other similar agreement between Borrower and Lender conflicts with or contradicts this Section 13.7 with respect to the treatment of confidential
information, this Section shall supersede all such prior or contemporaneous agreements and understandings between the parties. 

13.8. Severability. Whenever possible each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be
effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the
remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement. 
 13.9. Nature of
Remedies. All Obligations of Borrower and rights of Lender expressed herein or in any other Loan Document shall be in addition to and not in limitation of those provided by applicable law. No failure to exercise and no delay in
exercising, on the part of Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. 
 13.10. Entire
Agreement. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, embodies the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements and understandings of such Persons,
verbal or written, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof and any prior arrangements made with respect to the payment by Borrower of (or any indemnification for) any fees, costs or expenses payable to or incurred (or to be incurred) by or
on behalf of Lender. 
 13.11. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by
the different parties hereto on separate counterparts and each such counterpart shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same Agreement. Receipt of an executed signature page to this
Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall constitute effective delivery thereof. Electronic records of executed Loan Documents maintained by Lender shall be deemed to be originals. 

13.12. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon
Borrower, Lender and their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Borrower, Lender and the successors and assigns of Lender. No other Person shall be a direct or indirect legal beneficiary of, or have any direct or
indirect cause of action or claim in connection with, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights or Obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Lender. 

  
 35 

 13.13. Assignments; Participations. 

13.13.1. Assignments. 

(a) Lender may at any time assign to one or more Persons (any such Person, an “Assignee”) all or any portion of its
Loan and Commitment, with the prior written consent of Borrower, which consent shall be required only for so long as no Event of Default exists (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and shall not be required for an assignment
by Lender to an Affiliate of Lender). Borrower shall be deemed to have granted its consent to any assignment requiring its consent hereunder unless Borrower has expressly objected to such assignment within three Business Days after notice thereof.

 (b) From and after the date on which the conditions described above have been met, (i) such Assignee shall be deemed automatically
to have become a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to such Assignee pursuant to an assignment agreement between Lender and the Assignee, shall have the rights and obligations of Lender hereunder
and (ii) Lender, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, shall be released from its rights (other than its indemnification rights) and obligations hereunder. Upon the
request of the Assignee (and, as applicable, Lender) pursuant to an effective assignment agreement, Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Assignee (and, as applicable, Lender) a Note in the principal amount of the Assignee’s pro rata share
of the Revolving Loan Commitment (and, as applicable, a Note in the principal amount of the pro rata share of the Revolving Loan Commitment retained by Lender). Each such Note shall be dated the effective date of such assignment. Upon receipt by
Lender of such Note, Lender shall return to Borrower any prior Note held by it. 
 (c) Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security
interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement or the Collateral Documents to secure obligations of Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to
any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided, that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for Lender as a
party hereto. 
 13.13.2. Participations. Lender may at any time, without the consent of Borrower but with ten
(10) days prior written notice to Borrower, sell to one or more Persons participating interests in its Loan, Commitment or other interests hereunder (any such Person, a “Participant”). In the event of a sale by Lender of
a participating interest to a Participant, (a) Lender’s obligations hereunder shall remain unchanged for all purposes, (b) Borrower shall continue to deal solely and directly with Lender in connection with Lender’s rights and
obligations hereunder and (c) all amounts payable by Borrower shall be determined as if Lender had not sold such participation and shall be paid directly to Lender. Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due and
payable (as a result of acceleration or otherwise), each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of set-off in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same
extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as Lender under this Agreement; provided, that such right of set-off shall be subject to the obligation of each
Participant to share with Lender, and Lender agrees to share with each Participant, on a pro rata basis. Borrower also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 5.5 or
Section 6 as if it were Lender (provided, that on the date of the participation no Participant shall be entitled to any greater compensation pursuant to
Section 5.5 or Section 6 than would have been paid to Lender on such date if no participation had been sold and that each Participant complies with
Section 5.5(c) as if it were a direct assignee). 
 13.14. Captions. Section
captions used in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction of this Agreement. 
 13.15.
Customer Identification - USA Patriot Act Notice. PrivateBank (for itself and not on behalf of any other
party) hereby notifies Borrower that, pursuant to the requirements of the USA 

  
 36 

 
Patriot Act, Title III of Pub. L. 107-56, signed into law October 26, 2001 (the “Patriot Act”), it is
required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Borrower, which information includes the name and address of Borrower and other information that will allow PrivateBank, as applicable, to identify Borrower in accordance with the
Act. 
 13.16. Indemnification by Borrower. Borrower hereby releases Lender
and each of the officers, directors, employees, affiliates and agents of Lender (each a “Lender Party”) from any and all causes of action, claims or rights which Borrower may now or hereafter have
for, or which may arise from, any loss or damage caused by or resulting from (a) any failure of a Lender Party to protect, enforce or collect in whole or in part any of the Collateral and (b) any other act or omission to act on the part of
a Lender Party, its officers, agents or employees, except in each instance for willful misconduct or gross negligence, and except for any breach by the Lender Party of this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Borrower shall indemnify, defend and
hold each Lender Party harmless from and against any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, penalties, claims, fines, demands, litigation, defenses, costs, judgments, suits, proceedings, actual damages, disbursements or expenses of any kind or
nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, Attorney Cost) which may at any time be either directly or indirectly imposed upon, incurred by or asserted or awarded against Lender Party in connection with, arising from or relating to
Lender’s entering into or carrying out the terms of this Agreement or being the holder of any Note, other than any loss, liability, damage, suit, claim, expense, fees or costs arising solely by reason of Lender Party’s willful misconduct
or gross negligence. 
 13.17. Nonliability of Lender. The relationship
between Borrower on the one hand and Lender on the other hand shall be solely that of borrower and lender. Lender has no fiduciary relationship with or duty to Borrower arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents, and the relationship between Borrower, on the one hand, and Lender, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor. Lender undertakes no responsibility to review or inform Borrower of any
matter in connection with any phase of Borrower’s business or operations. Borrower agrees that Lender shall have no liability (whether sounding in tort, contract or otherwise) for losses suffered by Borrower in connection with, arising out of,
or in any way related to the transactions contemplated and the relationship established by the Loan Documents, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith, unless it is determined in a final
non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction that such losses resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party from which recovery is sought. NO LENDER
PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES ARISING FROM THE USE BY OTHERS OF ANY INFORMATION OR OTHER MATERIALS
OBTAINED THROUGH INTRALINKS OR OTHER SIMILAR INFORMATION TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, NOR SHALL ANY
LENDER PARTY HAVE ANY LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO, AND BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES, RELEASES AND AGREES NOT TO SUE FOR
ANY SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT
OR ARISING OUT OF ITS ACTIVITIES IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH (WHETHER BEFORE OR AFTER THE CLOSING DATE). Borrower
acknowledges that it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party. No joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists
by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among Borrower and Lender 
 13.18. Forum
Selection and Consent to Jurisdiction. Any litigation based hereon, or arising out of, under, or in connection with this agreement or any other
loan document, shall be brought and maintained exclusively in the courts of the State of Illinois or in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois; provided, that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed or
operate to preclude Lender from bringing suit or taking other legal action in any other jurisdiction. Borrower hereby 

  
 37 

 
expressly and irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Illinois and of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois for the purpose of any
such litigation as set forth above. Borrower further irrevocably consents to the service of process by registered mail, postage prepaid, or by personal service within or without the State of Illinois. Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and
designates Alberto Paracchini, the President of Borrower, whose business address is 180 N. LaSalle Street, 3rd Floor, Chicago, IL 60601, or any other person having and maintaining a place of business in such State, whom Borrower may from time to time hereafter designate
(having given five days’ written notice thereof to Lender) as Borrower’s true and lawful attorney and duly authorized agent for acceptance of service of legal process. Borrower agrees that service of such process upon such person shall
constitute personal service of such process upon Borrower. Borrower hereby expressly and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such litigation
brought in any such court referred to above and any claim that any such litigation has been brought in an inconvenient forum. 

13.19. Waiver of Jury Trial. BORROWER AND LENDER HEREBY
WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, ANY NOTE, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND ANY AMENDMENT, INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT DELIVERED OR WHICH MAY IN THE FUTURE BE
DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH OR ARISING FROM ANY LENDING RELATIONSHIP EXISTING IN CONNECTION WITH ANY OF THE FOREGOING, AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY.

REVOLVING NOTE 
  

			
	$30,000,000.00	  	 October 13, 2016

Chicago, Illinois

 THE UNDERSIGNED, Byline Bancorp, Inc., an Illinois corporation (the “Borrower”), for
value received, promises to pay to the order of The PrivateBank and Trust Company (the “Lender”) at its principal office in Chicago, Illinois, the aggregate unpaid amount of all Revolving Loans made to the undersigned by Lender
pursuant to the Loan Agreement referred to below (as shown on the schedule attached hereto (and any continuation thereof) or in the records of Lender), such principal amount to be payable on the dates set forth in the Loan Agreement.
Notwithstanding the above, upon the earlier to occur of April 13, 2017, or the consummation of the Preferred Stock Offering, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Loan Commitment shall be a maximum of Five Million and 00/100ths Dollars and any
Revolving Outstandings in excess of that amount shall be paid off. 
 The Borrower further promises to pay interest on the unpaid
principal amount of the Loan from the date of such Loan until such Loan is paid in full, payable at the rate(s) and at the time(s) set forth in the Loan Agreement. Payments of both principal plus interest are to be made in lawful money of the United
States of America. 
 This Note evidences indebtedness incurred under, and is subject to the terms and provisions of, the Revolving Credit
Agreement, dated as of October 13, 2016 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”), between the Borrower and Lender, to which Loan Agreement reference is hereby made for a
statement of the terms and provisions under which this Note may or must be paid prior to its due date or its due date accelerated. The remaining outstanding principal balance of this Note, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, shall be due
and payable on the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, which is October 12, 2017. Terms not otherwise defined herein are used herein as defined in the Loan Agreement. 

If any attorney is engaged by Lender to enforce or defend any provision of this Note or any of the other Loan Documents, or as a consequence
of any Event of Default, with or without the filing of any legal action or proceeding, then Borrower shall pay to Lender immediately upon demand all attorneys’ fees and expenses, together with interest thereon from the date of such demand until
paid at the rate of interest applicable to the principal balance owing hereunder as if such unpaid attorneys’ fees and expenses had been added to the principal. 

No previous waiver and no failure or delay by Lender in acting with respect to the terms of this Note or any of the other Loan Documents shall
constitute a waiver of any breach, default or failure of condition under this Note, the Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or the obligations secured thereby. A waiver of any term of this Note or any of the other Loan Documents or of
any of the obligations secured thereby must be made in writing and shall be limited to the express written terms of such waiver. In the event of any inconsistencies between the terms of this Note and the terms of any other document related to the
Loan evidenced by this Note, the terms of this Note shall prevail. 
 Except as otherwise provided in the Loan Agreement, Borrower expressly
waives presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, notice of default or delinquency, notice of acceleration, notice of protest and nonpayment, notice of costs, expenses or losses and interest thereon, notice of late charges, and diligence in taking any
action to collect any sums owing under this Note or in proceeding against any of the rights 

  
 Exhibit A to Loan
Agreement 

 
or interests in or to properties securing payment of this Note. In addition, Borrower expressly agrees that this Note and any payment coming due hereunder may be extended from time to time
without in any way affecting the liability of any such party hereunder. 
 Time is of the essence with respect to every provision hereof.
This Note shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois, except to the extent that federal laws preempt the laws of the State of Illinois, and all persons and entities in any manner obligated under this Note
consent to the jurisdiction of any Federal or State court located in Chicago, Illinois having proper venue and also consent to service of process by any means authorized by Illinois or Federal law. Any reference contained herein to attorneys’
fees and expenses shall be deemed to be to reasonable fees and expenses and to include all reasonable fees and expenses of in-house or staff attorneys and the reasonable fees and expenses of any other experts
or consultants. 
 All agreements between Borrower and Lender (including, without limitation, this Note and the Loan Agreement, and any
other documents securing all or any part of the indebtedness evidenced hereby) are expressly limited so that in no event whatsoever shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to Lender exceed the highest lawful rate of interest permissible under
applicable law. If, from any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision hereof, the Loan Agreement or any other documents securing all or any part of the indebtedness evidenced hereby at the time performance of such provisions shall be
due, shall involve exceeding the limit of validity prescribed by law which a court of competent jurisdiction may deem applicable hereto, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the highest lawful rate of interest
permissible under such applicable laws, and if, for any reason whatsoever, Lender shall ever receive as interest an amount which would be deemed unlawful under such applicable law, such interest shall be automatically applied to the payment of the
principal of this Note (whether or not then due and payable) and not to the payment of interest or refunded to Borrower if such principal has been paid in full. 

Any notice which either party hereto may be required or may desire to give hereunder shall be governed by the notice provisions of the Loan
Agreement. 
 BORROWER HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT THAT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY
LITIGATION ARISING IN ANY WAY IN CONNECTION WITH THIS REVOLVING NOTE OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR ANY OTHER STATEMENTS OR ACTIONS OF BORROWER OR LENDER. BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS BEEN REPRESENTED IN THE SIGNING OF THIS NOTE AND IN
THE MAKING OF THIS WAIVER BY INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL SELECTED OF ITS OWN FREE WILL, AND THAT IT HAS DISCUSSED THIS WAIVER WITH SUCH LEGAL COUNSEL. BORROWER FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (i) IT HAS READ AND UNDERSTANDS THE MEANING AND
RAMIFICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (ii) THIS WAIVER HAS BEEN REVIEWED BY BORROWER AND BORROWER’S COUNSEL AND IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR LENDER TO ENTER INTO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, AND (iii) THIS WAIVER SHALL BE EFFECTIVE AS TO EACH OF THE
LOAN DOCUMENTS AS IF FULLY INCORPORATED THEREIN.

FORM OF OPINION OF BORROWER’S COUNSEL 

October 13, 2016 
 PrivateBank and Trust
Company 
 120 S. LaSalle St. 
 Chicago, Illinois 60603 

Attention: Managing Director 
  

	 	Re:	Loan to Byline Bancorp, Inc. 

 Ladies and Gentlemen: 

We have served as counsel to Byline Bancorp, Inc., an Illinois corporation (the “Borrower”), a corporation incorporated under
the laws of Illinois, in connection with the Revolving Loan described in that certain Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of October 13, 2016 (the “Loan Agreement”), by and between the Borrower and The PrivateBank and
Trust Company (the “Lender”). This opinion is being delivered to you pursuant to Section 11.1.6 of the Loan Agreement. Capitalized terms used herein and otherwise undefined shall have the meanings given them in the Loan
Agreement. 
 In order to render the opinions expressed herein, we have examined the following (collectively, the “Financing
Documents”): 
 1. the executed Loan Agreement, the Collateral Documents and the other Loan Documents (as defined in the Loan Agreement); and

 2. such other documents, instruments, writings and agreements as we deemed appropriate. 

In our examination of the Financing Documents, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted
to us as originals, the conformity of all copies submitted to us with the originals to be delivered and the due authorization, execution and delivery by each party to such documents (other than the Borrower). 

Based on the foregoing and subject to the qualifications set forth in this letter, it is our opinion that: 

1. Each of Borrower and its Subsidiaries is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization; and each
of Borrower and its Subsidiaries is duly qualified to do business in each jurisdiction where, because of the nature of its activities or properties, such qualification is required, except for such jurisdictions where the failure to so qualify would
not have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 2. Each of Borrower and its Subsidiaries (and all officers executing and delivering Financing

WAIVER LETTER 

June 7, 2017 
 THE
PRIVATEBANK AND TRUST COMPANY 
 120 S. LaSalle St. 
 Chicago,
Illinois 60603 
 Attention: Kevin Kehoe, Managing Director 

Ladies and Gentlemen: 
 Reference is made to the
Revolving Credit Agreement, dated October 13, 2016 (the “Credit Agreement”), between Byline Bancorp, Inc., an Illinois corporation, as borrower (“Byline Illinois”) and The PrivateBank and Trust
Company, as lender (the “Lender”). Capitalized terms used but not defined in this letter shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Credit Agreement. 

Byline Illinois proposes to enter into a reincorporation merger (the “Merger”) pursuant to which it will reincorporate in the
State of Delaware by merging with and into Byline Bancorp, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Byline Illinois (“Byline Delaware,” and following the Merger, the “Company”), with common
shareholders of Byline Illinois receiving one (1) share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, (the “Common Stock”) of Byline Delaware for every five (5) shares of common stock, no par value, of Byline Illinois held by each
holder, plus cash to be paid in lieu of any fractional shares. As part of the Merger, each share of Noncumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series E, of Byline Illinois will be exchanged for one share of Noncumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock,
Series A of Byline Delaware (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), with substantially the same rights and privileges, and each share of 7.50% Fixed to Floating Noncumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series F, of Byline Illinois, will
be exchanged for one share of 7.50% Fixed to Floating Noncumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series B, of Byline Delaware (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), with substantially the same rights and privileges. Following the
consummation of the Merger, the amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws of Byline Delaware will be the governing documents of the Company. Following the Merger, the Company intends to issue and sell shares
of its Common Stock in an initial public offering (the “IPO”), registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In connection with the IPO, subject to regulatory approval, the Company intends to repurchase all (or a portion
of) the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock for cash, based on the price to public per share of Common Stock in the IPO. The transactions described in and contemplated by this paragraph are referred to as the
“Transactions.” 
 The Company also proposes to pay dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock, when and if declared by its
board of directors, in accordance with the terms of the Series B Preferred Stock and, only if the IPO occurs, the Company may in the future elect to pay dividends to holders of its Common Stock (such dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock and the
Common Stock, the “Dividends”). 

 Pursuant to Sections 10 and 13.1 of the Credit Agreement, the Company hereby requests that the
Lender consent to the Company (i) entering into the Transactions and (ii) making any Dividends payments, and the Company requests that the Lender waive the restrictions set forth in Section 10 of the Credit Agreement, including, but
not limited to, Sections 10.2, 10.3, 10.5, 10.6 and 10.7, but only to the extent they impact the Transactions and Dividends payments provided above and not otherwise. In addition, following the consummation of the Merger, references in the Credit
Agreement to the “Borrower” shall be deemed to refer to the “Company.” 
 Except for the waiver and
consent set forth above, the text of the Credit Agreement shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect. This Waiver Letter may be executed in separate counterparts, each of when so executed shall constitute one and the same agreement. 

(Signature page follows) 

 This letter shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of
Illinois.
