 FOR VALUE
RECEIVED, the undersigned, Taylor Capital Group, Inc. (the “Maker”), hereby promises to pay to
[                                ] (“Purchaser”) or its registered
assigns, at such place as the holder may designate from time to time in a written notice to the Maker, the principal sum of [                    
($                    )] on May 28, 2020 (the “Maturity Date”) or any earlier date of acceleration of the Maturity Date, and to
pay interest on the outstanding principal amount of this 8% Subordinated Note Due 2020 (this “Note”) from May 28, 2010, quarterly on the fifteenth day of the last month of each calendar quarter, commencing on October 15,
2010 (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), at a rate per annum of 8% prior to the Maturity Date and, if the outstanding principal amount of this Note is not paid in full on the Maturity Date, at a rate equal to 12% per annum on
and after the Maturity Date until the principal hereof shall have been paid or duly provided for. Unless expressly prohibited by applicable law, any accrued interest that is not paid when due shall bear interest until paid in full at a rate equal to
8% per annum prior to the Maturity Date and at a rate equal to 12% per annum on and after the Maturity Date. 

 This Note is one of the 8% Subordinated Notes due 2020 of the Maker referred to in the
Securities Purchase Agreement (as may be amended, modified, or restated from time to time), dated May 21, 2010, by and among the Maker, Purchaser and the other investors party thereto (the “Purchase Agreement”). All of the
other 8% Subordinated Notes due 2020 of the Maker of even date herewith (as may be amended, modified or restated from time to time) are collectively referred to herein as the “Other Notes,” and this Note and the Other Notes are
collectively referred to herein as the “Notes.” Capitalized terms used in this Note are defined in the Purchase Agreement, unless otherwise expressly stated herein. This Note is entitled to the benefits of the Purchase Agreement and
is subject to all of the agreements, terms and conditions contained therein, all of which are incorporated herein by this reference. This Note may not be prepaid at any time prior to the second anniversary of the date of this Note. This Note may be
prepaid, in whole or in part, at any time from and after the second anniversary of the date of this Note, but prior to the fifth anniversary of the date of this Note; provided that any such prepayment shall be subject to the Applicable
Prepayment Premium, as set forth below. This Note may be prepaid, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, at any time from and after the fifth anniversary of the date of this Note. Any prepayment of this Note, in whole or in part, shall be
made on the following terms and conditions: (a) the Maker shall give the holder at least three Business Days’ prior written notice of its intent to make each prepayment; and (b) each prepayment shall be made in immediately available
funds and shall be made by paying (x) with respect to any prepayment, in whole or in part, from and after the second anniversary of the date of this Note, but prior to the fifth anniversary of the date of this Note, the Applicable Prepayment
Premium, together with unpaid accrued interest on the principal amount to be prepaid to the date of prepayment, or (y) with respect to any prepayment, in whole or in part, from and after the fifth anniversary of the date of this Note, the
principal amount to be prepaid, together with unpaid accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment. For purposes of this Note, “Applicable Prepayment Premium” means, (A) with respect to any prepayment, in whole or in part,
from and after the second anniversary of the date of this Note, but prior to the third anniversary of the date of this Note, 102.5% of the principal amount to be prepaid, (B) with respect to any prepayment, in whole or in part, from and after
the third anniversary of the date of this Note, but prior to the fourth anniversary of the date of this Note, 101.5% of the principal amount to be prepaid, and (C) with respect to any prepayment, in whole or in part, from and after the fourth
anniversary of the date of this Note, but prior to the fifth anniversary of the date of this Note, 100.5% of the principal amount to be prepaid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Maker may not make any prepayment of this Note unless (i) all
accrued interest that is then due and payable under the Notes shall have been paid in full, (ii) the Maker simultaneously prepays the same percentage of the outstanding principal amount of each Other Note, and (iii) the Maker shall have
received the prior written approval of any governmental agency or body with proper jurisdiction over Maker, if required. 

Interest on the principal amount of this Note from time to time outstanding shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days
elapsed over a 360-day year, consisting of twelve (12) 30-day months. In no event, however, shall the interest rate hereunder exceed the maximum rate permitted by law. 

In the event the Maker can pay some, but not all, of the aggregate interest payable on the outstanding Notes on any Interest Payment
Date, or of the aggregate outstanding principal of the Notes on the Maturity Date, or of any fees or other obligations payable under the Notes on the due date therefor, the Maker shall apportion the aggregate payment made by it on such Interest
Payment Date, Maturity Date or other due date ratably among the Notes in proportion to the 
  

 2 

 
respective outstanding principal balances thereof; provided that the foregoing shall not affect any right of the holder of this Note to receive payment in full of such interest, principal or
other amount on such Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date or other due date, as the case may be, or otherwise limit any rights and remedies of the holder of this Note with respect thereto. 

Any of the following events shall represent an event of default under this Note (each, an “Event of Default”):
(i) a court or administrative or governmental agency or body with proper jurisdiction to do so shall enter a decree or order for the appointment of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”), the Illinois Department
of Financial and Professional Regulation (the “DFPR”), any successor agency to the FDIC or the DFPR, or any other governmental agency or body with proper jurisdiction, as applicable, as receiver of Cole Taylor Bank
(“Bank”); (ii) the Bank shall consent to the appointment of the FDIC, the DFPR, any successor agency to the FDIC or the DFPR, or any other governmental agency or body with proper jurisdiction, as applicable, as receiver for it;
(iii) Maker shall (a) voluntarily commence any proceeding or file any petition for relief under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, (b) consent to the institution of,
or be subject to the filing of any such petition, (c) apply for or be subject to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or similar official for Maker or its property or assets, or (d) make a general assignment for the benefit of
creditors; (iv) the Maker breaches the Dividend Covenant or the Organic Change Covenant (each as defined below); (v) the Maker fails to pay, when due, any principal of this Note or fails to pay any interest due on this Note within five
(5) business days of the Interest Payment Date applicable thereto (a “Payment Default”); or (vi) the Maker shall have failed to keep or perform any of its other material agreements, undertakings, obligations or covenants
under the Note in any material respect and such failure continues for a period of thirty (30) days after notice thereof to the Maker executed by the holders of Notes representing at least a majority of the principal amount then outstanding
under all of the Notes (a “Majority of the Holders”). 
 Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described
in subsection (i), (ii) or (iii) of the immediately preceding paragraph, the principal of, interest accrued on, and other obligations payable under this Note, will immediately become due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or
notice of any kind. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, other than the occurrence of an Event of Default described in subsection (i), (ii) or (iii) of the immediately preceding paragraph, as long as this Note is deemed to be
Tier 2 Capital (or the equivalent) of the Maker under the applicable rules and regulations promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“Federal Reserve Board”) (except to the extent not so deemed due to the
limitation imposed by the second sentence of 12 C.F.R. §250.166(e)(1), which limits the capital treatment of subordinated debt during the five years immediately preceding the maturity date of the subordinated debt), there is no right of
acceleration for any default or Event of Default, including a default in the payment of principal or interest or the performance of any other covenant or obligation by the Maker, under this Note or the Purchase Agreement. If the Maker receives a
written notification from the Federal Reserve Board that the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes no longer constitutes Tier 2 Capital of the Maker (the “Federal Reserve Notice”), other than due to the limitation imposed by the
second sentence of 12 C.F.R. §250.166(e)(1), which limits the capital treatment of subordinated debt during the five years immediately preceding the maturity date of the subordinated debt, the Maker shall immediately notify the holder of this
Note. At any time after receipt of the Federal Reserve 
  

 3 

 
Notice, and so long as the determination set forth in such Federal Reserve Notice remains in effect, if any Event of Default shall occur hereunder and be continuing, then (x) if such Event
Default is a Payment Default, the holder of this Note may declare this Note and any amounts due to the holder of this Note hereunder immediately due and payable, whereupon this Note and such amounts payable hereunder shall immediately become due and
payable, and (y) in the case of any other Event of Default, a Majority of the Holders may declare the Notes and any amounts due to the holders of the Notes hereunder or thereunder immediately due and payable, whereupon the Notes and such
amounts payable hereunder or thereunder shall immediately become due and payable, but in each case under clause (x) or (y), without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, it is
specifically understood and agreed that, notwithstanding the curing of such Event of Default, the Maker shall not be released from any of its covenants hereunder unless and until this Note is paid in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing
herein shall limit the rights of the holder of this Note to exercise any and all remedies available to such holder under applicable law; provided, however, that, except in connection with a Payment Default, no action may be initiated to enforce the
rights of the holder of this Note pursuant hereto without the prior written consent of a Majority of the Holders. 
 If the
Maker fails to make any principal or interest payment when and as required hereby, the Maker shall not, until such principal or interest payment has been made, (i) declare, set aside or pay any dividends on or make any other distributions
(whether in cash, stock, equity securities or property) in respect of any of its equity securities, or (ii) purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, any of its equity securities, in each case without the consent of a
Majority of the Holders (such negative covenant, the “Dividend Covenant”). 
 The indebtedness of the Maker
evidenced by this Note, including the principal, interest and premium, if any, is not secured by any assets or commitments of the Maker or the Bank, and until such time as the Maker receives a Federal Reserve Notice, the indebtedness evidenced by
this Note shall be subordinated and junior in right of payment to the Maker’s obligations to the general creditors of the Maker, and upon dissolution or liquidation of the Maker, no payment of principal or interest shall be due and payable
until all general creditors and depositors of the Maker shall have been paid in full. Purchaser and each of its registered assigns holding this Note, by the acceptance hereof, agree to be bound by the foregoing provisions. 

Any recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale of all or substantially all of the Maker’s
assets to another Person or other transaction that is effected in such a way that holders of all of the common equity of the Maker are entitled to receive (either directly or upon subsequent liquidation) stock, securities or assets with respect to
or in exchange for such common equity is referred to herein as an “Organic Change.” Prior to the consummation of any (i) sale of all or substantially all of the Maker’s assets to an acquiring Person or (ii) other
Organic Change following which the Maker is not a surviving entity, the Maker shall secure from the Person purchasing such assets or the successor resulting from such Organic Change (in each case, the “Acquiring Entity”) a written
agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to a Majority of the Holders, to deliver to the holder of this Note, in exchange for this Note, a security of the Acquiring Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and
substance to this Note (such covenant, the “Organic Change Covenant”). 
  

 4 

 The written consent of the Maker and a Majority of the Holders shall be required for any
amendment to the Notes (including this Note), and upon receipt of such consent, each Note (including this Note) shall be deemed amended thereby. No such amendment shall be effective except to the extent it applies on an equivalent basis to all of
the Notes. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any holder of the Notes to amend or consent to an amendment or other modification of any provision of the Notes unless the same consideration is offered to all of the holders of the Notes.

 The holder of this Note may assign or transfer some or all of its rights hereunder, subject to compliance with the provisions
of the immediately following paragraph, without the consent of the Maker. The holder of this Note shall promptly provide notice to the Maker of the name and address of the assignee or transferee and the principal amount of this Note assigned or
transferred, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Note has been prepaid in part, the holder of this Note may not transfer this Note unless such holder first physically surrenders this Note to the Maker, whereupon the Maker will
forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the holder of this Note a new Note of like tenor, registered as such holder may request, representing in the aggregate the remaining principal represented by this Note. The holder of this Note and any
permitted assignee, by acceptance of this Note, acknowledge and agree that following any prepayment of any portion of this Note, the principal of this Note may be less than the principal amount stated on the face hereof. 

The holder of this Note and any permitted assignee, by acceptance of this Note, covenant and agree not to sell, hypothecate or otherwise
transfer this Note except pursuant to, and in compliance with the “plan of distribution” set forth in, an effective registration statement for the Notes under the Securities Act and such state or other laws as may be applicable, or upon
receipt by the Maker of a written opinion of counsel in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Maker that such registration is not required for such sale, hypothecation or other transfer; provided, however that no such opinion shall be
required in connection with (i) a transaction pursuant to Rule 144 in which such holder of this Note provides the Maker with certifications reasonably requested by the Maker regarding compliance with the terms and provisions of Rule 144 or
(ii) a distribution of this Note to an Affiliate of such holder of this Note, so long as such Affiliate does not pay any consideration in connection with such distribution (other than issuance of equity interests in such Affiliate) and such
holder of this Note provides the Maker with certifications reasonably requested by the Maker in connection therewith. 
 The
Maker shall maintain, at one of its offices in the United States, a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of each holder of the Notes, and the principal amount of the Notes owed to each such holder pursuant to the terms hereof and
of the Other Notes from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Maker and the holders of the Notes shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register
pursuant to the terms hereof as the holder of this Note for all purposes, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by any holder of the Notes, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable
prior notice. The Notes are intended to be obligations in “registered form” for purposes of Sections 871 and 881 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, and the provision of
this Note shall be interpreted consistently therewith. 
  

 5 

 The Maker shall pay all taxes (other than transfer taxes and income taxes, franchise taxes
or other taxes levied on gross earnings, profits or the like of a holder of this Note) and all other expenses and charges payable in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of this Note. 

THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY
CHOICE OF LAW OR CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISION OR RULE (WHETHER OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION) THAT WOULD CAUSE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANY JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF DELAWARE. ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT
TO THIS NOTE SHALL BE BROUGHT EXCLUSIVELY IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT IN THE STATE OF DELAWARE, AND THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. 

The Maker expressly waives any presentment, demand, protest, notice of default, notice of intention to accelerate, notice of acceleration
or notice of any other kind.

	Warrant No. SWA-[    ]	 	Original Issue Date: May 28, 2010

CUSIP 876851 130 
 THIS
CERTIFIES THAT, for value received,                                 , or its
permitted assigns (the “Holder”), is entitled to subscribe for and purchase during the period specified in Section 1 hereof                  fully
paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock, $.01 par value (“Common Stock”), of TAYLOR CAPITAL GROUP, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), at a per share price equal to the Warrant Price, subject
to the provisions and upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. Capitalized terms used herein, but not otherwise defined, shall have meanings provided in Section 10 of this Warrant. 

This Warrant was originally issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement (as may be amended, modified or restated from time to time), dated
May 21, 2010, by and among the Company, the initial Holder and the other investors party thereto (the “Purchase Agreement”). The Holder acknowledges that this Warrant was issued in connection with a private placement (the
“Debt Placement”) of up to $37,500,000 in subordinated notes (the “Notes”) by the Company, in which each investor in the Debt Placement is receiving a warrant on the same terms as this Warrant to purchase
twenty-five (25) shares (subject to adjustment as provided herein) of Common Stock for every $1,000 in face amount of the Notes purchased in the Debt Placement. Accordingly, the Company is issuing, in the aggregate, warrants to purchase an
aggregate of up to nine hundred thirty-seven thousand five hundred (937,500) shares (subject to adjustment as provided herein) of Common Stock on the terms set forth below (collectively, including this Warrant, the “Aggregate
Warrants”) in connection with the Debt Placement. Notwithstanding that this Warrant was issued in connection with, and as part of, the Debt Placement, this Warrant is detachable from the Notes purchased in the Debt Placement and
transferable separate from such Notes, but subject to the terms, conditions, limitations and restrictions set forth in Section 5 of this Warrant. 

	1.	 Duration. The right to subscribe for and purchase shares of Common Stock represented hereby shall commence on the one hundred eightieth (180
th) day after the Original Issue Date, and shall
expire at 5:00 p.m., Chicago time, on the fifth anniversary of the Original Issue Date specified above (the “Expiration Date”); provided, that if the Expiration Date would otherwise occur on a day on which banking institutions are
required or authorized by law to close in Chicago, Illinois (a “Bank Holiday”), then the Expiration Date shall be the next succeeding day which shall not be a Bank Holiday. From and after the Expiration Date, this Warrant shall be
null, void and of no further force or effect. 

  

	2.	Method of Exercise; Payment; Issuance of New Warrant. 

  

	 	a)	The holder hereof may exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, at the times and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 1 hereof, by the surrender of
this Warrant (with the subscription form attached hereto duly executed) at the principal office of the Company, together with payment in the aggregate amount equal to the Warrant Price multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock being
purchased. At the option of Holder, payment of the Warrant Price may be made either (i) in cash, by wire transfer of immediately available United States federal funds or by bank certified, treasurer’s or cashier’s check payable to the
order of the Company, (ii) by cashless exercise in accordance with Section 2(b), or (iii) by any combination of the foregoing methods. 

  

	 	b)	In lieu of exercising this Warrant in cash, the Holder may elect to receive shares of Common Stock equal to the value of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being
canceled) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with notice of such election, in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder hereof a number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following formula:

  

							
		 		 	Y (A-B)	  	
		 	X =	 	A	  	

  

			
	Where	  	
		
	X  –	  	The number of shares of Common Stock to be received upon such cashless exercise of this Warrant pursuant to this Section 2(b) (the “Net
Number”).
	Y  –	  	The total number of shares for which this Warrant is exercised pursuant to such cashless exercise.
	A  –	  	The Market Value (as defined below) of one share of Common Stock.
	B  –	  	The Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculations).

Any reference in this Warrant to “exercise” of this Warrant, and the use of the term “exercise” herein, shall be deemed to include,
without limitation, any cashless exercise pursuant to this Section 2(b). 
  

	 	c)	Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event that a Conversion Date occurs, the Company at any time within ninety (90) days after any
such Conversion Date, may, at the Company’s sole election, effective immediately upon notice delivered to the Holder, convert this Warrant, and thereby extinguish all exercise rights of the Holder hereunder, by issuance to the Holder of the Net
Number of shares of Common Stock, determined according to Section 2(b) above, then issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in full in a “cashless exercise,” provided that the Company exercises such election with respect to all of the
Aggregate Warrants then outstanding. 

	 	d)	In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant in accordance with Section 2(a), (i) stock certificates for the shares of Common Stock
so purchased shall be delivered to the Holder, and, in the event the Warrant has not been exercised in full, a new Warrant representing the number of shares with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised shall also be
delivered to the Holder, and (ii) stock certificates for the shares of Common Stock so purchased shall be dated the date of exercise of this Warrant (with the required payment of the aggregate Warrant Price unless payable by cashless exercise
pursuant to Section 2(b) or (c)), and the Holder exercising this Warrant shall be deemed for all purposes to be the holder of the shares of Common Stock so purchased as of the date of such exercise (with the required payment of the aggregate
Warrant Price unless payable by cashless exercise in accordance with Section 2(b) or (c)). Such stock certificates (and new Warrant, if applicable) shall be delivered to the holder hereof within a reasonable time, not exceeding five
Business Days (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), after this Warrant shall have been so exercised. Each stock certificate so delivered shall be in such denominations as may be requested by the Holder and shall be registered in the name of the
Holder or such other name (upon compliance with the transfer requirements hereinafter set forth) as shall be designated by said Holder. The Company shall pay all taxes (other than income taxes, franchise taxes or other taxes levied on gross
earnings, profits or the like of the Holder) and other expenses and charges payable in connection with the issuance and delivery of shares of Common Stock (and new Warrants, if applicable) upon any exercise of this Warrant; except that, in case such
shares of Common Stock shall be registered in a name or names other than the Holder or its nominee, funds sufficient to pay all stock transfer taxes which shall be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of such stock certificates
shall be paid by the Holder to the Company at the time of the exercise of this Warrant. 

  

	 	e)	Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if any exercise of any portion of this Warrant is made in connection with a registered public offering or the sale of the
Company (regardless of how structured), such exercise may be conditioned, at the election of the Holder, upon the consummation of such public offering or sale of the Company, in which case such exercise shall not be deemed to be effective until
immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction. 

  

	 	f)	If a fractional share of Common Stock would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after the date of exercise,
deliver to the Holder a check payable to the Holder, in lieu of such fractional share, in an amount equal to the Market Value of such fractional share of Common Stock. 

	3.	Adjustment of Warrant Price and Number of Shares. 

  

	 	a)	The Warrant Price and the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the
happening of certain events occurring after the Original Issue Date, as follows: 

  

	 	i)	Reclassification, Consolidation or Merger. In case of any reclassification or change of outstanding Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (other
than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination), or in case of any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another Company (other than a
merger with another corporation in which the Company is the surviving corporation and which does not result in any reclassification or change other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par
value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination of outstanding Common Stock issuable upon such conversion) the rights of the holders of this Warrant shall be adjusted in the manner described below: 

 

	 	(1)	In the event that the Company is the surviving corporation, the Warrant shall, without payment of additional consideration therefor, be deemed modified so as to provide
that upon exercise thereof the holder of this Warrant shall procure, in lieu of each share of Common Stock theretofore issuable upon such exercise, the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities, money and property receivable upon such
reclassification, change, consolidation or merger by the holder of each share of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise had exercise occurred immediately prior to such reclassification, change, consolidation or merger. This Warrant (as adjusted)
shall be deemed to provide for further adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 3. The provisions of this clause (1) shall similarly apply to successive
reclassifications, changes, consolidations and mergers. 

  

	 	(2)	In the event that the Company is not the surviving entity, the surviving entity shall, without payment of any additional consideration therefor, issue new Warrants,
providing that upon exercise thereof the holder thereof shall procure in lieu of each share of Common Stock theretofore issuable upon exercise of this Warrant the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities, money and property receivable
upon such reclassification, change, consolidation or merger by the holder of each share of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant had such exercise occurred immediately prior to such reclassification, change, consolidation or merger.
Such new Warrants shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 3. The provisions of this clause (2) shall similarly apply to successive
reclassifications, changes, consolidations and mergers. The Company shall not enter into any transaction subject to the provisions of this Section 3(a)(i)(2) unless the surviving entity in such transaction agrees in writing to issue new
Warrants in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 3(a)(i)(2) and comply with the terms and conditions of such new Warrants. 

  

	 	ii)	 Subdivision or Combination of Shares. If the Company, at any time while any of this Warrant is outstanding, shall subdivide or combine its
Common Stock, the Warrant 

	 	
Price shall be proportionately reduced, in case of subdivision of shares, as of the effective date of such subdivision, or shall be proportionately increased, in the case of combination of
shares, as of the effective date of such combination. In the event that a record date is set with respect to any such subdivision, and this Warrant is exercised after such record date but prior to the effective date of such subdivision, upon the
effectiveness of such subdivision, the Company shall issue the Holder additional shares of Common Stock as if the Common Stock issued upon such exercise of the Warrant were outstanding on the record date with respect to such subdivision, without the
payment of any additional consideration. 

  

	 	iii)	Certain Dividends and Distributions. If the Company, at any time while any of this Warrant is outstanding, shall: 

 

	 	(1)	Stock Dividends. Pay a dividend payable in, or make any other distribution of Common Stock, the Warrant Price shall be adjusted, as of the date of such payment
or dividend or other distribution, to that price determined by multiplying the Warrant Price by a fraction (1) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such dividend or
distribution and (2) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such dividend or distribution (plus in the event that the Company paid cash for fractional shares, the number of
additional shares which would have been outstanding had the Company issued such fractional shares in connection with such dividend or distribution); provided that in the event that a record date is set with respect to any such dividend and
distribution, and this Warrant is exercised after such record date but prior to the payment or other distribution of such dividend or other distribution, upon such payment or other distribution, the Company shall issue the Holder additional shares
of Common Stock as if the Common Stock issued upon such exercise of this Warrant were outstanding on the record date with respect to such dividend or other distribution, without the payment of any additional consideration. 

 

	 	(2)	Liquidating Dividends, etc. Make a distribution of its property to the holders of its Common Stock as a dividend in liquidation or partial liquidation or by way
of return of capital or other than as a dividend payable out of funds legally available for dividends under the laws of the State of Delaware, the holders of this Warrant shall, upon exercise hereof, be entitled to receive, in addition to the number
of shares of Common Stock receivable hereupon, and without payment of any consideration therefor, a sum equal to the amount of such property as would have been payable to them as owners of that number of shares of Common Stock of the Company
receivable upon such exercise, had they been the holders of record of such Common Stock on the record date for such distribution; and an appropriate provision therefor shall be made a part of any such distribution. 

	 	(3)	Purchase Rights. If at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any options, warrants, convertible securities or other rights to purchase stock, warrants,
options, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the
aggregate Purchase Rights which such Holder could have acquired if such Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant,
issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights. 

 

	 	iv)	Adjustment of Number of Shares. Upon each adjustment in the Warrant Price pursuant to any provision of this Section 3(a), the number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise hereof shall be adjusted, to the nearest one hundredth of a whole share, to the product obtained by multiplying the number of shares issuable upon exercise hereof immediately prior to such adjustment in the Warrant Price
by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Warrant Price immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator of which shall be the Warrant Price immediately thereafter. 

 

	 	b)	Notice of Adjustments. Whenever any Warrant Price shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 3 hereof, the Company shall make a certificate signed by its
President or a Vice President and by its Treasurer, Assistant Treasurer, Secretary or Assistant Secretary, setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was
calculated (including a description of the basis on which the Board made any determination hereunder), and the Warrant Price after giving effect to such adjustment, and shall cause copies of such certificate to be delivered by first-class mail or
postage prepaid) or by facsimile to the holder of this Warrant at its address or facsimile number shown on the books of the Company. The Company shall make such certificate and deliver it to each Holder promptly after each adjustment.

  

	 	c)	Default in Obligations Regarding Par Value. If the Company shall default in its obligation pursuant to the last sentence of Section 4(a) hereof such that
the par value per share of Common Stock would be greater than the Warrant Price that, absent the limitation contained in the last sentence of Section 4(a), would have been in effect pursuant to this Section 3, then the Warrant Price shall
be an amount equal to the par value per share of Common Stock but the number of shares the holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to purchase shall be such greater number of shares of Common Stock as would have resulted from the Warrant Price
that, absent the limitation contained in the last sentence of Section 4(a), would have been in effect pursuant to this Section 3. The foregoing adjustment shall not constitute a waiver of any claim arising against the Company by reason of
its default under the agreement contained in the last sentence of Section 4(a) of this Warrant. 

	4.	Covenants. 

  

	 	a)	The Company covenants and agrees that all shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of this Warrant will, upon issuance, be fully paid and nonassessable and free from
preemptive rights and any liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof. The Company further covenants and agrees that during the period within which the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised, the Company will at all times
have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issue upon exercise of the purchase rights evidenced by this Warrant, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise in full of such purchase rights (including any and all
shares as to which the right to acquire such shares has not been forfeited pursuant to Section 1 hereof). Furthermore, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company covenants and agrees that it will from time to time take
all such action as may be required to assure that the par value per share of Common Stock is at all times equal to or less than the effective Warrant Price. 

 

	 	b)	The Company agrees that it shall not close its books against the transfer of this Warrant or of any shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon the exercise of this
Warrant in any manner which interferes with the timely exercise of this Warrant. 

  

	 	c)	The Company shall cooperate with the Holder if the Holder is required to make any governmental filings or obtain any governmental approvals prior to, or in connection
with, the exercise of Warrants (including making any filings required to be made by the Company). The Company shall take all such actions as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants
may be issued in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Warrants without violation of any applicable law or regulation of any governmental entity or self regulatory organization or any requirement of any securities exchange or trading
system on which the shares of Common Stock are listed or eligible for trading (except for official notice of issuance, which (to the extent required) shall be delivered immediately by the Company upon each such issuance). 

 

	 	d)	If any securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are then convertible into or exchangeable for any other stock or securities of the Company (“Other
Securities”), the Company shall, at the Holder’s option and upon exercise of this Warrant by the Holder as provided herein, together with any notice, statement or payment required to effect such conversion or exchange, deliver to the
Holder (or such other Person specified by such Holder) a certificate or certificates representing the Other Securities into which the securities issuable upon such exercise of this Warrant are convertible or exchangeable, registered in such name or
names and in such denomination or denominations as the Holder has specified. 

  

	 	e)	 The Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its charter documents or through any reorganization, reclassification,
transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or other similar voluntary 

	 	
action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the
taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of the Holder against impairment. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company shall take all action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may
validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant, free and clear of all mortgages, pledges, hypothecations, claims, charges, security interests, encumbrances, adverse claims, options,
liens, put or call rights, rights of first offer or refusal, proxies, voting rights or other restrictions or limitations of any nature whatsoever (collectively, “Liens”), other than Liens created by the actions of the Holder.

  

	 	f)	The Company shall provide each Holder with not less than 10 days prior written notice in the event that the Company closes its books or sets a record date (i) with
respect to either a dividend or distribution upon the Common Stock or a subscription offer to the holders of Common Stock or (ii) for determining rights to vote with respect to any merger, consolidation, reorganization, restructuring or similar
transaction (including, without limitation, the dissolution or liquidation of the Company). The Company shall also provide the Holder not less than 20 days prior written notice of the consummation of any such transaction. 

 

	5.	Transfer and Exchange. 

  

	 	a)	On and after the Original Issue Date, this Warrant shall be transferable with respect to all of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. Any
transfer of this Warrant shall be subject to the further terms, conditions, limitations and restrictions set forth in clauses (b) through (g) of this Section. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 5(a) shall prohibit or
otherwise affect the right to transfer any shares of Common Stock received upon the exercise of this Warrant. 

  

	 	b)	The transfer of this Warrant and all rights hereunder, in whole or in part, is registrable at the office or agency of the Company referred to below by the Holder, in
person or by his duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of this Warrant properly endorsed. Each taker and holder of this Warrant, by taking or holding the same, consents and agrees that this Warrant, when endorsed in blank, shall be deemed
negotiable, and that the Holder, when this Warrant shall have been so endorsed, may be treated by the Company and all other Persons dealing with this Warrant as the absolute owner and holder hereof for any purpose and as the Person entitled to
exercise the rights represented by this Warrant, or to the registration of transfer hereof on the books of the Company; and until due presentment for registration of transfer on such books the Company may treat the Holder as the owner and holder for
all purposes, and the Company shall not be affected by notice to the contrary. 

  

	 	c)	 The Holder of this Warrant, by the acceptance hereof, represents that it is acquiring this Warrant, and upon exercise hereof will acquire the Warrant
and the shares of Common 

	 	
Stock issuable upon exercise hereof (collectively, including this Warrant, the “Warrant Securities”), for its own account and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection
with, the public sale or distribution of the Warrant Securities, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act. The Holder further represents, by acceptance hereof, that, as of this date, such Holder is an “accredited
investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a)(3) of Regulation D promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act (an “Accredited Investor”). The delivery of this Warrant for exercise shall
constitute confirmation at such time by the Holder of the representations concerning the Warrant Securities set forth in the first two sentences of this Section 5(c), unless contemporaneous with the delivery of this Warrant for exercise, the
Holder notifies the Company in writing that it is not making such representations (a “Representation Notice”). If the Holder delivers a Representation Notice in connection with an exercise, it shall be a condition to such
Holder’s exercise of this Warrant and the Company’s obligations set forth in Section 2 in connection with such exercise, that the Company receive such other representations as the Company considers reasonably necessary to assure the
Company that the issuance of its securities upon exercise of this Warrant shall not violate any United States or state securities laws, and the time periods for the Company’s compliance with its obligations set forth in Section 2 shall be
tolled until such Holder provides the Company with such other representations. 

  

	 	d)	The Holder, by acceptance of this Warrant, understands that the Warrant Securities are characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities
laws inasmuch as they are being or will be acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations neither this Warrant nor the shares of Common Stock issuable upon its exercise
may be resold without registration under the Securities Act or under certain other limited circumstances. The Holder further agrees, by acceptance of this Warrant that it will not offer or sell this Warrant or any shares of Common Stock issued upon
exercise hereof in the absence of an effective registration statement for the Warrant or such shares of Common Stock, as applicable, under the Securities Act and such state or other laws as may be applicable, or receipt by the Company of a written
opinion of counsel (provided that such counsel, and the form and substance of such opinion are reasonably acceptable to the Company) that such registration is not required; provided, however that no such opinion shall be required in connection with
(i) a transaction pursuant to Rule 144 in which the Holder provides the Company with certifications reasonably requested by the Company regarding compliance with the terms and provisions of Rule 144 or (ii) a distribution of any Warrant
Securities to an Affiliate of the Holder, so long as such Affiliate does not pay any consideration in connection with such distribution (other than issuance of equity interests in such Affiliate) and the Holder provides the Company with
certifications reasonably requested by the Company in connection therewith. Furthermore, in the event the Holder offers or sells this Warrant or any shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise hereof pursuant to an effective registration statement
for the Warrant or such shares of Common Stock, as applicable, under the Securities Act and such state or other laws as may be applicable, the Holder will not offer or sell or otherwise transfer any Warrant Securities except pursuant to, and in
compliance with, the “plan of distribution” set forth therein. Furthermore, it is agreed that each Warrant and any shares of Common Stock will include the appropriate variant of the following legend: 

[THE SHARES OF STOCK EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN] [THIS WARRANT HAS NOT BEEN] REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933,
AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. [EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THE WARRANT UPON EXERCISE OF WHICH THE SHARES WERE ORIGINALLY ISSUED AND THE PURCHASE AGREEMENT REFERENCED IN SUCH WARRANT, THE SHARES][EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN
THIS WARRANT AND THE PURCHASE AGREEMENT REFERENCED IN THIS WARRANT, THIS WARRANT] MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR [THE SHARES][THIS WARRANT] UNDER
THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, IN A FORM REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY AND ITS COUNSEL, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR (II) UNLESS SOLD
PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER SAID ACT. THIS WARRANT IS SUBJECT TO OTHER RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 5 HEREOF. 

 The Holder of this Warrant and/or any Common Stock issued upon exercise hereof shall be
entitled to receive, without expense to such Holder, a new certificate or Warrant, as the case may be, not bearing the above restrictive legend if (1) the Warrant Securities represented thereby shall have been effectively registered under the
Securities Act and sold by the Holder thereof in accordance with such registration, (2) such Warrant Securities shall have been sold without registration under the Securities Act in compliance with Rule 144, as certified in writing by the
Holder to the Company, or (3) the Company is reasonably satisfied that the Holder of such Warrant Securities shall, in accordance with the terms of Rule 144, be entitled to sell such Warrant Securities pursuant thereto without any restriction
or limitation and without satisfaction of any current public information requirement thereunder. 
  

	 	e)	Register. The Company shall maintain, at the principal office of the Company, a register for the Warrants, in which the Company shall record the name and address
of the Person in whose name a Warrant has been issued, as well as the name and address of each transferee and each prior owner of such Warrant. Within 10 days after the Holder shall by written notice request the same, the Company will deliver to
such Holder a certificate, signed by one of its officers, listing the name and address of every other Holder of this Warrant, as such information appears in said register at the close of business on the day before such certificate is signed.

  

	 	f)	 Warrants Exchangeable for Different Denominations. This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Holder at the office or agency
of the Company referred 

	 	
to in paragraph 5(e), for new Warrants of like tenor representing in the aggregate the right to subscribe for and purchase the number of shares which may be subscribed for and purchased
hereunder, each of such new Warrants to represent the right to subscribe for and purchase such number of shares as shall be designated by the Holder at the time of such surrender. 

 

	 	g)	Cancellation; Payment of Expenses. Upon the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any exchange, transfer or replacement, this Warrant shall be promptly
cancelled by the Company. The Company shall pay all taxes (other than transfer taxes and income taxes, franchise taxes or other taxes levied on gross earnings, profits or the like of the Holder) and all other expenses and charges payable in
connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of this Warrant. 

  

	6.	Notices. All notices, requests and other communications required or permitted to be given or delivered to the Company or the holders of Warrants shall be in
writing, and shall be deemed properly given if hand delivered or sent by overnight courier with adequate evidence of delivery or sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested and, if to a Warrant holder, at such Warrant
holder’s address as shown on the books of the Company or its transfer agent, and if to the Company at: 

Taylor Capital Group, Inc. 

9550 West Higgins Road 

Rosemont, IL 60018 

Attention: General Counsel 

or such other addresses or Persons as the recipient shall have designated to the sender by written notice given in accordance with this
Section. Any notice, request or other communication hereunder shall be deemed given when delivered in person, on the next business day after being sent by overnight courier, or on the second business day after being sent by registered or certified
mail. 
  

	7.	Governing Law. This Warrant shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its principles of
conflicts of laws. 

  

	8.	Remedies and Limitation of Liability. 

  

	 	a)	The Company stipulates that the remedies at law of the Holder in the event of any default or threatened default by the Company in the performance of or compliance with
any of the terms of this Warrant are not and will not be adequate, and that such terms may be specifically enforced by a decree for the specific performance of any agreement contained herein or by an injunction against a violation of any of the
terms hereof or otherwise. 

  

	 	b)	No provision hereof, in the absence of affirmative action by the Holder to purchase Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant, and no enumeration of the rights or
privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of any Holder of this Warrant for the Warrant Price or any other amounts. 

	9.	Miscellaneous. 

  

	 	a)	Amendments. This Warrant and any provision hereof may be amended or waived only by an instrument in writing signed by either (i) the Holder of this Warrant,
or (ii) the holders of a majority of the Aggregate Warrants then outstanding as measured by the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon full exercise of all such Aggregate Warrants then outstanding (the “Majority
Holders”), and in each case, signed by the Company if it is to be bound thereby; and each Holder acknowledges and agrees that it shall be bound by any such amendment or waiver so approved by the Majority Holders, provided that no such
amendment or waiver shall be effective except to the extent it applies on an equivalent basis to all of the outstanding Aggregate Warrants. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Holder to amend or consent to a waiver, amendment or other
modification of any provision of the Agreement unless the same consideration is offered to all of the holders of the outstanding Aggregate Warrants. 

  

	 	b)	Descriptive Headings. The descriptive headings of the several paragraphs of this Warrant are inserted for purposes of reference only, and shall not affect the
meaning or construction of any of the provisions hereof.
