 EXHIBIT 10.15 
 AMCORE FINANCIAL, INC. 
 Annual Incentive Plan 
 Approved November 9, 2005 
 (Revised
February 22, 2008) 
  

	1.	General 

 This Annual Incentive Plan (the
“Plan”) of AMCORE Financial, Inc. (the “Company”) authorizes the grant of annual incentive awards (“Awards”) to executives and key employees, and sets forth certain terms and conditions of such Awards. With respect to
employees described in section 7(c) of the AMCORE Financial, Inc. 2005 Stock Award and Incentive Plan, this Plan shall be considered part of such plan. The purpose of the Plan is to help the Company secure and retain senior executives and key
employees of outstanding ability and to motivate such persons to exert their greatest efforts on behalf of the Company and its subsidiaries by providing incentives directly linked to the revenue, net income, customer satisfaction, earnings per
share, strategic goals and other measures of the financial and business success of the Company. The Plan will be administered by the Compensation Committee of the AMCORE Financial, Inc. Board of Directors (the “Committee”), provided that
the Committee may condition any of its actions on approval or ratification by the Board of Directors. The Committee shall have full and final authority to take all actions hereunder, subject to and consistent with the provisions of the Plan. The
Committee may delegate to specified officers or employees of the Company authority to perform administrative or other functions under the Plan. 
  

	2.	Definitions 

 In addition to such terms and those
terms defined in Section 1 above, the following are defined terms under this Plan: 
 (a) “Annual Incentive Award” or
“Award” means the amount of a Participant’s Annual Incentive Award Opportunity in respect to a specified Performance Year determined by the Committee to have been earned and the Participant’s rights to future payments of cash in
settlement thereof. 
 (b) “Annual Incentive Award Opportunity” or “Award Opportunity” means the Participant’s
opportunity to earn specified dollar-denominated amounts based on performance during a Performance Year. An Annual Incentive Award Opportunity constitutes a conditional right to receive settlement of an Annual Incentive Award. 
 (c) “Participant” means an employee participating in this Plan. 
 (d) “Performance Goal” means the Company, divisional, individual, or other accomplishment required as a condition to the earning of an Award Opportunity. 
 (e) “Performance Year” means the period of one fiscal year over which an Annual Incentive Award Opportunity may be earned, provided that the
Committee may specify a shorter or longer duration for any Performance Year. 
 (f) “Termination of Employment” means the
termination of a Participant’s employment by the Company or a Subsidiary immediately after which the Participant is not employed by the Company or any Subsidiary. 
 (g) “Earnings per Share” or “EPS” means diluted earnings per share and reflect the potential dilution that could occur if stock options granted pursuant to incentive stock option plans were
exercised or converted into common stock, based on the treasury stock method, and any shares contingently issuable, that then shared in the earnings of the Company. It also includes the expense dilution that occurs as a result of FASB 123R as
determined by GAAP. 
  

	3.	Eligibility 

 Company officers and other employees
whom the Committee determines may have a significant impact on the performance of the Company may be selected by the Committee to participate in this Plan. 

	4.	Designation and Earning of Annual Incentive Award Opportunities 

 (a) Designation of Award Opportunities and Performance Goals. The Committee shall select employees to participate in the Plan for a Performance Year and designate, for each such Participant, the Award
Opportunity the Participant may earn for such Performance Year, the Performance Goal the achievement of which will result in the earning of the Award Opportunity or a portion thereof, and the levels of earning of the Award Opportunity corresponding
to the levels of achievement of the Performance Goal. The Award Opportunity earnable by each Participant shall range from 0% to not more than 200% of a specified target Award Opportunity. The Committee shall specify a table, grid, or formula that
sets forth the amount of a Participant’s Award Opportunity that will be earned corresponding to the level of achievement of a specified Performance Goal. There is no limitation on the timing of the Committee’s determinations under this
Section 4(a). 
 (b) Determination of Annual Incentive Award. Within a reasonable time after the end of each Performance Year,
the Committee will determine the extent to which the Performance Goal for the earning of the Participant’s Annual Incentive Award Opportunity was achieved during such Performance Year and the resulting Award to the Participant. In making this
determination, the Committee may adjust upward or downward the amount of an Award, in its sole discretion, in light of such considerations as the Committee may deem relevant (but subject to the applicable limitations of the Plan). The Annual
Incentive Award shall not be deemed vested, however, until such date as the Company pays and settles the Annual Incentive Award, as determined by the Committee. 
 (c) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Plan, all provisions of this Plan shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with section 162(m) of the Tax Code as to all employees who may be subject to
such section. In particular, the Committee’s authority to make adjustments under section 4(b) shall be exercised consistent with section 162(m). 
 (d) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Plan, with respect to employees who are not executive officers, except as otherwise determined by the Committee, the Chief Executive Officer shall be delegated the
selection of Participants, the selection of Award Opportunities, and the determination of Annual Incentive Awards. 
  

	5.	Accounts and Settlement of Awards. 

 (a) Elective
Deferral. A Participant will be permitted to elect to defer settlement of the Annual Incentive Award if and to the extent such deferral is authorized by such Participant under any Company deferred compensation plan then in effect, and if validly
elected by the Participant under the terms of such plan. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, a Participant’s deferral election with respect to earned Annual Incentive Awards must be filed with the Company not later than six months
prior to the end of the Performance Year. 
 (b) Settlement of Award. Any non-deferred Annual Incentive Award shall be paid and
settled by the Company reasonably promptly after the date of determination by the Committee under Section 4(b) hereof, but in no event later than March 15 of the year following the Performance Year. With respect to any deferred amount of a
Participant’s Annual Incentive Award, such amount will be credited to the Participant’s deferral account under the applicable Company deferred compensation plan as promptly as practicable at or after the date designated for payment by the
Committee under Section 4(b) hereof. 
 (c) Tax Withholding. The Company shall deduct from any payment in settlement of a
Participant’s Annual Incentive Award or other payment to the Participant any Federal, state, or local withholding or other tax or charge which the Company is then required to deduct under applicable law with respect to the Award. 
 (d) Non-Transferability. An Annual Incentive Award Opportunity and any resulting Annual Incentive Award, including any deferred amount resulting
from an Award, and other rights hereunder shall be non-transferable except in accordance with the laws of descent and distribution or, if permitted by the Committee, pursuant to a beneficiary designation of the Participant in the event of the
Participant’s death. 
  

	6.	Effect of Termination of Employment. 

 Upon a
Participant’s Termination of Employment prior to completion of a Performance Year or, after completion of a Performance Year but prior to the date of determination by the Committee under Section 4(b) hereof with respect to that Performance

 
Year, the Participant’s Annual Incentive Award Opportunity relating to such Performance Year shall cease to be earnable and shall be canceled, and the
Participant shall have no further rights or opportunities hereunder, unless otherwise provided in an employment agreement between the Company and the Participant in effect at the time of Termination of Employment or otherwise determined by the
Committee. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, a Participant who terminates during the plan year on or after attaining retirement eligibility (as defined by the Company from time to time) shall be entitled to receive a prorated portion of the
annual bonus, if any, otherwise payable, which shall be payable at the same time and in the same manner as if the Participant had continued employment until the applicable payment date. 
  

	7.	General Provisions. 

 (a) Changes to this
Plan. The Committee may at any time amend, alter, suspend, discontinue, or terminate this Plan; provided, however, that any amendment to the Plan beyond the scope of the Committee’s authority shall be subject to the approval of the Board of
Directors. In addition, the Committee may, in its discretion, accelerate the termination of any deferral period and the resulting payment and settlement of deferred amounts, with respect to an individual Participant or all Participants, without the
consent of the affected Participants; provided that, no such acceleration shall occur if it would violate the rules of section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. 
 (b) Unfunded Status of Participant Rights. Annual Incentive Award Opportunities, Awards, accounts, deferred amounts, and related rights of a Participant represent unfunded incentive and deferred compensation
obligations of the Company for ERISA and federal income tax purposes and, with respect thereto, the Participant shall have rights no greater than those of an unsecured creditor of the Company. 
 (c) No Right to Continued Employment. Neither the Plan nor any action taken hereunder shall be construed as giving any employee the right to be
retained in the employ of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, nor shall it interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates to terminate any employee’s employment at any time.

 (d) Nonexclusivity of the Plan. The adoption of this Plan shall not be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the
Board or Committee to adopt such other compensation arrangements, as it may deem desirable for any Participant. 
 (e) Severability.
The invalidity of any provision of the Plan or a document hereunder shall not be deemed to render the remainder of this Plan or such document invalid. 
 (f) Successors. The Company shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise, and whether or not the corporate existence of the Company continues) to all
or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to expressly assume and agree to perform the Company’s obligations under the Plan in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no
such succession had taken place; provided, however, that such successor may replace the Plan with a Plan substantially equivalent in opportunity and achievability, as determined by a nationally recognized compensation consulting firm, and covering
the Participants at the time of such succession. Any successor and the ultimate parent company of such successor shall in any event be subject to the requirements of this Section 7(f) to the same extent as the Company. Subject to the foregoing,
the Company may transfer and assign its rights and obligations hereunder. 
 (g) Governing Law. The validity, construction, and effect
of the Plan, any rules and regulations or document hereunder shall be determined in accordance with the laws (including those governing contracts) of the State of Illinois, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of laws. 

 Any modifications, amendments or adjustments to the Plan or any of its key provisions will be at the discretion of the
Plan Sponsor, subject to the approval of the Compensation Committee. 
 IN WITNESS WHEROF, this Plan Document has been approved and is effective as of the
date and year indicated below.

 Date Approved by the Board of Directors Compensation Committee: February 21, 2008Form of 1997 Stock Plan Stock Appreciation Right Agreement

 Exhibit 10.2(j) 
 ECHELON CORPORATION 
 STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHT AGREEMENT 
 TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS 
 By executing the Grant Acceptance process and using the services on this Smith Barney Benefit Access® website, you, the Employee and Echelon Corporation (the “Company”) agree that this Award is granted under and governed by the terms and conditions of Company’s 1997 Stock Plan
(the “Plan”) and the Terms and Conditions of Stock Appreciation Rights (the “Agreement”), which may be amended or modified from time to time. Employee has reviewed the Plan and this Agreement in its entirety, has had an
opportunity to obtain the advice of counsel prior to accepting this Award and fully understands provisions of the Plan and this Agreement. Employee hereby agrees to accept as binding, conclusive and final all decisions or interpretations of the
Administrator upon any questions relating to the Plan and this Agreement. Employee further agrees to promptly notify the Company upon any change in the Employee’s residence address. 
  
  
 The “Company hereby grants you, the employee, a stock appreciation right (the “SAR”) under the Plan, to exercise in exchange for a payment
from the Company pursuant to this SAR Agreement. However, as provided in the Agreement, this SAR may expire earlier than the Expiration Date. 
 1. Grant of SAR. The Company hereby grants to the Employee under the Company’s 1997 Stock Plan a Stock Appreciation Right (“SAR”) pertaining to all or any part of an aggregate of the number of shares set forth in the
Summary of Grant, which SAR entitles the Employee to exercise the SAR in exchange for Shares in the amount determined under paragraph 6 below. 
 2. Vesting Schedule. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the right to exercise this SAR will vest in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in the Summary of Grant, subject to the Employee continuing to be a
Service Provider on each relevant vesting date. Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph 2 to the contrary, and except as otherwise provided by the Administrator, vesting of the SAR will be suspended during any unpaid leave of absence other than
military leave and will resume on the date the Employee returns to work on a regular schedule as determined by the Company; provided, however, that no vesting credit will be awarded for the time vesting has been suspended during such leave of
absence. The Administrator, in its discretion, may accelerate the vesting of the balance, or some lesser portion of the balance, of the SAR at any time, subject to the terms of the Plan. If so accelerated, such SAR (or the portion thereof) will be
considered as having vested as of the date specified by the Administrator. 

 3. Exercise of SAR. 
 (a) Grant Price. The purchase price per Share for this SAR (the “Grant Price”) shall be the amount set forth in the
Summary of Grant which is the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date. 
 (b) Right to Exercise. This SAR is
exercisable during its term in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in the Summary of Grant and the applicable provisions of the Plan and this Agreement. 
 (c) Method of Exercise. This SAR is exercisable by (i) delivery of an exercise notice, in the form and manner determined by
the Administrator, or (ii) following an electronic or other exercise procedure prescribed by the Administrator (which may require the Employee to exercise this SAR through the Company’s designated broker or administrator), which in either
case shall state the election to exercise the SAR, the number of Shares in respect of which the SAR is being exercised (the “Exercised Shares”), and such other representations and agreements as may be required by the Company pursuant to
the provisions of the Plan. Subject to paragraph 8, the Employee shall provide payment of any applicable withholding taxes arising in connection with such exercise. This SAR shall be deemed to be exercised upon receipt by the Company of a fully
executed exercise notice or completion of such exercise procedure, as the Administrator may determine in its sole discretion, accompanied by any applicable withholding taxes. 
 4. Death of Employee. In the event that the Employee dies while in the employ of the Company and/or a Parent or Subsidiary, the administrator or
executor of the Employee’s estate (or such other person to whom the SAR is transferred pursuant to the Employee’s will or in accordance with the laws of descent and distribution), may exercise any vested but unexercised portion of the SAR
within the period set forth in the Summary of Grant. Any such transferee must furnish the Company (a) written notice of his or her status as a transferee, (b) evidence satisfactory to the Company to establish the validity of the transfer
of this SAR and compliance with any laws or regulations pertaining to such transfer, and (c) written acceptance of the terms and conditions of this SAR as set forth in this Agreement. 
 5. Persons Eligible to Exercise SAR. Except as provided in paragraph 4 above or as otherwise determined by the Administrator in its discretion,
this SAR shall be exercisable during the Employee’s lifetime only by the Employee. 
 6. Payment of SAR Amount. Upon exercise of
this SAR, the Employee shall be entitled to receive the number of Shares (the “SAR Amount”), less applicable withholdings, determined by (i) multiplying (a) the difference between the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of
exercise over the Grant Price; times (b) the number of Shares with respect to which this SAR is exercised, and (ii) dividing the product of (a) and (b) by the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise. The SAR Amount
shall be paid solely in whole Shares; any fractional amount shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share. Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of this SAR may be delivered in book form or listed in street name with a brokerage company of the
Company’s choice. 
  

 2 

 No payment shall be made pursuant to the exercise of this SAR unless such payment complies with
Applicable Laws. Assuming such compliance, for income tax purposes, the payment shall be considered transferred to the Employee on the date the SAR is exercised with respect to such Exercised Shares. 
 7. Term of SAR. This SAR may be exercised only within the term set out in the Summary of Grant, and may be exercised during such term only in
accordance with the Plan and the terms of this Agreement. 
 8. Tax Withholding and Payment Obligations. When the Shares are issued as
payment for the exercise of this SAR, the Employee will recognize immediate U.S. taxable income if the Employee is a U.S. taxpayer. If the Employee is a non-U.S. taxpayer, the Employee will be subject to applicable taxes in his or her jurisdiction.
The Company (or the employing Parent or Subsidiary) will withhold a portion of the Shares otherwise issuable in payment for the exercise of this SAR that have an aggregate market value sufficient to pay the minimum federal, state and local income,
employment and any other applicable taxes required to be withheld by the Company (or the employing Parent or Subsidiary) with respect to the Shares. No fractional Shares will be withheld or issued pursuant to the exercise of this SAR and the
issuance of Shares thereunder; any additional withholding necessary for this reason will be done by the Company through the Employee’s paycheck except as otherwise provided herein with respect to an Employee who is an “executive
officer” of the Company within the meaning of Section 402 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002 (an “Executive Officer”). With respect to an Employee who is an Executive Officer, the Employee hereby agrees to pay the Company, on or
prior to the date of exercise, by cash or check an amount equal to such additional withholding unless the Company otherwise determines that withholding such amount from the Employee’s paycheck in accordance with the preceding sentence would not
violate Section 402 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002. The Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Company may refuse to honor the exercise and refuse to make the SAR Payment required under this Agreement if such amount is not delivered at
the time of exercise. In the event that the cash amounts withheld by the Company exceed the withholding taxes that are due after the automatic withholding of whole Shares, the Company will reimburse the Employee for the excess amounts. In the event
the withholding requirements are not satisfied through the withholding of Shares (or, through the Employee’s paycheck, as indicated above), no payment will be made to the Employee (or his or her estate) for SARs unless and until satisfactory
arrangements (as determined by the Administrator) have been made by the Employee with respect to the payment of any income and other taxes which the Company determines must be withheld or collected with respect to such SARs. By accepting this SAR
award, the Employee expressly consents to the withholding of Shares and to any cash withholding as provided for in this paragraph 8. All income and other taxes related to this SAR award and any Shares delivered in payment thereof are the sole
responsibility of the Employee. 
 9. Suspension of Exercisability. This SAR, in the sole discretion of the Company, may not be
exercised, in whole or in part, and the Company shall not be required to issue any certificate or certificates for Shares hereunder prior to fulfillment of all the following conditions: (a) the admission of such Shares to listing on all stock
exchanges on which such class of stock is then listed; (b) the completion of any registration or other qualification of such Shares, the filing of quarterly reports and the completion of any restatement of financial statements required under
any state or federal law or under the rulings or regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission or 

  

 3 

 
any other governmental regulatory body, which the Administrator shall, in its absolute discretion, deem necessary or advisable; (c) the obtaining of any
approval or other clearance from any state or federal governmental agency, which the Administrator shall, in its absolute discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable; and (d) the lapse of such reasonable period of time following the date
of exercise of the SAR as the Administrator may establish from time to time for reasons of administrative convenience. Any suspension of exercise or delay in the issuance of Shares as a result of one or more of the foregoing conditions shall not
extend the Expiration Date of this SAR, and the Company shall have no further obligation or liability with respect to this SAR as of and following the Expiration Date. 
 10. Rights as Stockholder. Neither the Employee nor any person claiming under or through the Employee will have any of the rights or privileges of a stockholder of the Company in respect of any of the Shares
covered by this SAR unless and until certificates representing such Shares (which may be in book entry form) will have been issued, recorded on the records of the Company or its transfer agents or registrars, and delivered to the Employee (including
through electronic delivery to a brokerage account). After such issuance, recordation and delivery, the Employee will have all the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to voting such Shares and receipt of dividends and distributions
on such Shares. 
 11. Termination Period. This SAR will be exercisable for thirty (30) days after the Employee ceases to be a
Service Provider, unless such termination is due to the Employee’s death or Disability, in which case this SAR will be exercisable for twelve (12) months after the Employee ceases to be a Service Provider. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in
no event may this SAR be exercised after the Expiration Date as set forth in the Summary of Grant. 
 12. No Effect on Employment.
Subject to any employment contract with the Employee, the terms of such employment will be determined from time to time by the Company, or the Parent or Subsidiary employing the Employee, as the case may be, and the Company, or the Parent or
Subsidiary employing the Employee, as the case may be, will have the right, which is hereby expressly reserved, to terminate or change the terms of the employment of the Employee at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without good cause. The
transactions contemplated hereunder and the vesting schedule set forth in the Summary of Grant do not constitute an express or implied promise of continued employment for any period of time. 
 13. Address for Notices. Any notice to be given to the Company under the terms of this Agreement shall be addressed to the Company, in care of the
Human Resources Department, at Echelon Corporation, 550 Meridian Avenue, San Jose, CA 95126, or at such other address as the Company may hereafter designate in writing. 
 14. SAR is Not Transferable. Except as otherwise expressly provided in paragraph 4 above, this SAR and the rights and privileges conferred hereby may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, hypothecated or
disposed of in any way (whether by operation of law or otherwise) and will not be subject to sale under execution, attachment or similar process. Upon any attempt to sell, transfer, pledge, assign, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of this SAR, or of
any right or privilege conferred hereby, or upon any attempted sale under any execution, attachment or similar process, this SAR and the rights and privileges conferred hereby immediately shall become null and void. 
  

 4 

 15. Restrictions on Sale of Securities. The Shares issued upon exercise of this SAR will be
registered under the federal securities laws and will be freely tradable upon receipt. However, your subsequent sale of the Shares will be subject to any market blackout-period that may be imposed by the Company and must comply with the
Company’s insider trading policies, and any other applicable securities laws. 
 16. Binding Agreement. Subject to the limitation
on the transferability of this SAR contained herein, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, legatees, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto. 
 17. Plan Governs. This Agreement is subject to all of the terms and provisions of the Plan. In the event of a conflict between one or more
provisions of this Agreement and one or more provisions of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall govern. Capitalized terms and phrases used and not defined in this Agreement shall have the meaning set forth in the Plan. 
 18. Administrator Authority. The Administrator shall have all discretion, power, and authority to interpret the Plan and this Agreement and to
adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan as are consistent therewith (including, but not limited to, the determination of whether or not any SARs have vested). All actions taken and all interpretations and
determinations made by the Administrator in good faith will be final and binding upon the Employee, the Company and all other interested persons, and will be given the maximum deference permitted by law. No member of the Administrator shall be
personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation made in good faith with respect to the Plan or this Agreement. 
 19.
Captions. The captions provided herein are for convenience only and are not to serve as a basis for the interpretation or construction of this Agreement. 
 20. Agreement Severable. In the event that any provision in this Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be severable from, and such invalidity or unenforceability shall not be
construed to have any effect on, the remaining provisions of this Agreement. 
 21. Modifications to the Agreement. This Agreement
constitutes the entire understanding of the parties on the subjects covered. The Employee expressly warrants that he or she is not executing this Agreement in reliance on any promises, representations, or inducements other than those contained
herein. Except as otherwise provided herein, modifications to this Agreement or the Plan can be made only in an express written contract executed by a duly authorized officer of the Company. 
 22. Amendment, Suspension, or Termination of the Plan. By accepting this SAR, the Employee expressly warrants that he or she has received a SAR to
purchase stock under the Plan, and has received, read and understood a description of the Plan. The Employee understands that the Plan is discretionary in nature and may be modified, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time.

 23. Section 409A. Under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, a
SAR that vests after December 31, 2004, that was granted with a per share Grant Price that is determined by the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) to be less than the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of grant
(a “discount SAR”) may be considered “deferred compensation.” A SAR that is a “discount SAR” may result in (i) income recognition by the Employee prior to the exercise of the SAR, (ii) an additional twenty
percent (20%) tax, and (iii) potential penalty and interest charges. The Employee acknowledges that the Company cannot and has not guaranteed that the IRS will agree that the per Share Grant Price of this SAR equals or exceeds the Fair
Market Value of a Share on the date of grant in a later examination. The Employee agrees that if the IRS determines that this SAR was granted with a per Share Grant Price that was less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant, the
Employee will be solely responsible for the Employee’s costs related to such a determination. 
 24. Notice of Governing Law.
This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of California without regard to principles of conflict of laws.
