    Dear
[               ]:

     

    MB
Financial, Inc. (“Company”) proposes to enter into a letter agreement with the
United States Department of Treasury (“UST”) as part of the Company’s
participation in the UST’s TARP Capital Purchase Program (“CPP”). The letter
agreement incorporates therein a Securities Purchase Agreement – Standard Form
(“UST Purchase Agreement”) providing for the purchase (the “Purchase”) and
receipt by the UST of preferred stock and warrants of the Company (such
preferred shares, warrants, and if applicable, any common stock issued upon
exercise of the warrants, the “Purchased Securities”).

     

    In order
for the Company to participate in the CPP and as a condition to the closing of
the Purchase in the Company contemplated by the UST Purchase Agreement, the
Company is required to take certain actions and adopt certain standards relating
to the compensation of its senior executive officers (as defined below) and to
make certain changes to certain compensation arrangements applicable to its
senior executive officers.

     

    The
Company has determined that you are or may become a senior executive officer for
purposes of the CPP.  To comply with these requirements, and in
consideration of the benefits that you will receive as an employee, officer
and/or stockholder of the Company as a result of the Company’s participation in
the CPP, you agree as follows:

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (A)

            	
              No Golden Parachute
      Payments.  The Company is prohibited from making any
      golden parachute payment (as defined below) to you during any “CPP Covered
      Period.” The “CPP Covered Period” is any period during which the UST holds
      any Purchased Securities.  The Company shall work with you
      between the date hereof and December 31, 2008 in order to determine the
      potential payments and benefits which may be subject to the foregoing
      limitations and, if necessary, to determine the order in which such
      payments and benefits would be reduced, if
  necessary.

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (B)

            	
              Clawback of Bonus and
      Incentive Compensation.  Any bonus or incentive
      compensation payments to you during a CPP Covered Period are subject to
      recovery or “clawback” by the Company if such payments were based on
      materially inaccurate financial statements or any other materially
      inaccurate performance metric, all within the meaning of and to the extent
      required by Section 111(b) of the EESA and CPP Guidance (as defined
      below).

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (C)

            	
              Amendment of
      Compensation Arrangements.  Each of the Company’s
      compensation, bonus, incentive and other benefit plans, programs,
      arrangements and agreements pursuant to which you are or may became
      entitled to payments in the nature of compensation from the Company or any
      of its subsidiaries (including, without limitation any employment
      agreement, letter agreement, term sheet, stock option, restricted stock,
      performance share or other equity-based compensation agreement, deferred
      compensation plan, or severance plan) (collectively, “Compensation
      Arrangements”) is amended if and to the extent necessary to give effect to
      the provisions of clauses (A) and (B) above and as required under the UST
      Purchase Agreement.

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (D)

            	
              Avoidance of
      Incentives Encouraging Unnecessary and Excessive
      Risks.  The CPP requires the Organization and
      Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the
      “Compensation Committee”) to periodically review with the appropriate
      senior risk officers the provisions of the Company’s bonus and incentive
      compensation arrangements for the purposes of determining if such
      arrangements encourage the Company’s senior executive officers to take
      unnecessary and excessive risks that threaten the value of the Company
      within the meaning of the CPP Guidance. If and to the extent the
      Compensation Committee determines that any revision to any Compensation
      Arrangement is appropriate, you hereby agree to such revisions and to
      execute such additional documents as the Company deems necessary or
      appropriate to effect such
revisions.

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (E)

            	
              Definitions and
      Interpretations.  The following definitions and
      interpretations shall apply to this
letter:

            

    

     

    “ESSA”
means the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 as implemented by
guidance or regulations thereunder issued by the UST at 31 CFR Part 30,
effective on October 20, 2008, and in effect as of the “Closing Date” as defined
in the UST Purchase Agreement.  Such guidance or regulations are
referred to herein as the “CPP Guidance”.

     

    “Senior
executive officer” means each of the Company’s “senior executive officers” as
defined in subsection 111(b)(3) of EESA and the CPP Guidance.

     

    “Golden
parachute payment” has the same meaning as in subsection 111(b)(2)(C) of EESA
and the CPP Guidance.

     

    “Company”
or “employer” means MB Financial, Inc. and includes any entities treated as a
single employer with MB Financial, Inc. under the CPP Guidance. You are also
delivering a wavier (the “Waiver”) pursuant to the UST Purchase Agreement, and
as between the Company and you, the term “employer” in that waiver will be
deemed to mean the Company as used in this letter.

     

    The term
“CPP Covered Period” shall be limited by, and interpreted in a manner consistent
with the CPP Guidance.

     

    The
application of provisions (A) an (B) of this letter are intended to, and shall
be interpreted, administered and construed to, comply with Section 111 of EESA
and the CPP Guidance and, to the maximum extent consistent with provisions (A)
and (B) and such statute and regulations, to permit the operation of the
Compensation Arrangements in accordance with their terms before giving effect to
the provisions of this letter.

     

    If this
letter sets forth our agreement on the subject matter hereof, kindly sign and
return to the Company the enclosed copy of this letter which will then
constitute our agreement on this subject and please sign and return the Waiver
as well.

    MB
FINANCIAL, INC. AND MB FINANCIAL BANK, N.A.

    STOCK
DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

    Amended
and Restated Effective January 1, 2009

     

    Purpose

     

    The
purpose of this Plan is to provide specified benefits to a select group of
management and highly compensated Employees, and Directors, who contribute
materially to the continued growth, development and future business success of
MB Financial, Inc., MB Financial Bank, N.A., and any other subsidiaries, if any,
that sponsor this Plan.  The benefits provided hereunder shall be
distributed in the form of Company Stock. This Plan shall be unfunded for tax
purposes and for purposes of Title I of ERISA.

     

    Effective
Date

     

    The Plan,
as amended and restated in this document, is effective as of January 1, 2009
(the “Effective
Date”). The distribution of benefits vested as of December 31, 2004
(together with earnings thereon) (“Grandfathered
Benefits”) shall be governed solely by the terms of Appendix
A.

     

    ARTICLE 1                                

     

    Definitions

     

    For
purposes of this Plan, unless otherwise clearly apparent from the context, the
following phrases or terms shall have the following meanings:

     

    1.1 “Account Balance”
shall mean, with respect to a Participant, a credit on the records of the
Employer equal to the sum of (i) the Employee Deferral Account, (ii) the
Director Deferral Account (collectively, the Employee Deferral and Director
Deferral Accounts shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Deferral Account”),
(iii) the Matching Contribution Account, and (iv) the Employer Contribution
Account.  The Account Balance, and each other specified account
balance, shall be a bookkeeping entry only and shall be utilized solely as a
device for the measurement and determination of the amounts to be paid to a
Participant, or his or her designated Beneficiary, pursuant to this
Plan.

     

    1.2 “Annual Bonus” shall
mean any compensation, in addition to Base Annual Salary relating to services
performed during any calendar year, whether or not paid in such calendar year or
included on the Federal Income Tax Form W-2 for such calendar year, payable to a
Participant as an Employee under any Employer’s annual bonus and cash incentive
plans, excluding equity awards.

     

    1.3 “Annual Deferral
Amount” shall mean that portion of a Participant’s Base Annual Salary,
Annual Bonus and/or Director’s Compensation that a Participant elects to have,
and is deferred, in accordance with Article 3, for any one Plan
Year.  In the event of a Participant’s Disability (if deferrals cease
in accordance with Section 6.1) or Separation from Service prior to the end
of a Plan Year, such year’s Annual Deferral Amount shall be the actual amount
withheld prior to such event.

     

    1.4 “Annual Installment
Method” shall be annual installment payments over the number of years
selected by the Participant in accordance with the Plan, calculated as
follows:  Prior to the last Business Day (as defined in Section 3.7)
of the year, the Account Balance of the Participant shall be multiplied by a
fraction, the numerator of which is one, and the denominator of which is the
remaining number of annual payments due the Participant (including the
installment being calculated).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
installment payments payable under the Plan shall constitute a single payment
for purposes of compliance with Code Section 409A.

     

    By way of
example, if the Participant elects a 10 year Annual Installment Method, the
first payment shall be 1/10 of the Account Balance, calculated as described in
this definition.  The following year, the payment shall be 1/9 of the
Account Balance, calculated as described in this definition. Each annual
installment shall be paid on or as soon as administratively practicable
following the last Business Day of the applicable year, but in no event more
than 30 days after such date.

     

    1.5 “Base Annual Salary”
shall mean the annual cash compensation relating to services performed during
any calendar year, whether or not paid in such calendar year or included on the
Federal Income Tax Form W-2 for such calendar year, excluding bonuses,
commissions, overtime, fringe benefits, equity awards, relocation expenses,
incentive payments, retention payments, change in control and severance
payments, non-monetary awards, directors’ fees and other fees, automobile and
other allowances paid to a Participant for employment services rendered (whether
or not such allowances are included in the Employee’s gross income). Base Annual
Salary shall be calculated before reduction for compensation voluntarily
deferred or contributed by the Participant pursuant to all qualified or
non-qualified plans of any Employer and shall be calculated to include amounts
not otherwise included in the Participant’s gross income under Code
sections 125, 402(e)(3), 402(h), or 403(b) pursuant to plans established by
any Employer; provided, however, that all such amounts will be included in
compensation only to the extent that, had there been no such plan, the amount
would have been payable in cash to the Employee.

     

    1.6 “Beneficiary” shall
mean one or more persons, trusts, estates or other entities, designated in
accordance with Article 8, that are entitled to receive benefits under this

Eligibility

     

    2.1 Selection
by Committee.  Participation in the Plan shall be limited to a
select group of management and highly compensated Employees and Directors, as
determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.  From that group,
the Committee shall select, in its sole discretion, Employees and Directors to
participate in the Plan.

     

    2.2 Enrollment
Requirements.  As a condition to participation, each selected
Employee or Director shall complete, execute and return to the Committee or its
designated agent a Plan Agreement, an Election Form and a Beneficiary
Designation Form, all within 30 days after he or she is selected to participate
in the Plan.  In addition, the Committee shall establish from time to
time such other enrollment requirements as it determines in its sole discretion
are necessary.

     

    2.3 Eligibility;
Commencement of Participation.  Provided an Employee or
Director selected to participate in the Plan has met all enrollment requirements
set forth in this Plan and required by the Committee, including returning all
required documents to the Committee or its designated agent within the specified
time period, that Employee or Director shall commence participation in the Plan
as soon as administratively practicable following the month in which the
Employee or Director completes all enrollment requirements or another date, such
as the first day of the next Plan Year, as specified by the
Committee.  If an Employee or Director fails to meet all such
requirements within the period required, in accordance with Section 2.2,
that Employee or Director shall not be eligible to participate in the Plan until
the first day of the Plan Year following the delivery to and acceptance by the
Committee or its designated agent of the required documents.

     

    2.4 Termination
of Participation and/or Deferrals.  If the Committee determines
in good faith that a Participant no longer qualifies as a member of a select
group of management or highly compensated employees, as membership in such group
is determined in accordance with Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a)(1)

sole discretion, to prevent the Participant from making future deferral

    Deferral
Commitments/Employer Contributions/Crediting/Taxes

     

    3.1 Compensation
Deferrals.  For each Plan Year, a Participant may elect to
defer, as his or her Annual Deferral Amount, up to 100% of his or her Base
Annual Salary, Annual Bonus and/or Director’s Compensation, as the case may
be.  If no election is made, or a Participant does not make a timely
election, the amount deferred shall be zero.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if a Participant first becomes a Participant after the first day of a
Plan Year, the maximum Annual Deferral Amount shall be limited to the amount of
compensation not yet earned by the Participant as of the date the Participant
submits a Plan Agreement and Election Form to the Committee for
acceptance.

     

    3.2 Election
to Defer; Effect of Election Form.

     

    (a) General
Rules.  Except as provided below, a Participant must make his
or her deferral election as to a Plan Year no later than the applicable Deferral
Election Date and such election shall become irrevocable as of the last day of
such preceding Plan Year.

     

    (b) Subsequent
Plan Years.  For each succeeding Plan Year, a Participant may
revoke or make a new deferral election for the subsequent Plan Year, provided
that such election is made before the applicable Deferral Election
Date.  In the absence of the timely delivery of such a new Election
Form, the Election Form in effect at the end of the preceding Plan Year shall
constitute the Participant’s irrevocable deferral election for the succeeding
Plan Year.

     

    (c) Effect of
Short-Term Payout Election. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a
Participant, pursuant to Section 4.1, elects a Short-Term Payout, such
election shall be effective for the subsequent Plan Year and shall render all of
a Participant’s prior deferral elections, if any, ineffective for subsequent
Plan Years. To defer compensation for subsequent Plan Years, the Participant
must submit a new Election Form. In the absence of the timely delivery of a new
Election Form, the Participant’s deferral amount shall be deemed to be zero for
the subsequent Plan Year and will remain zero for all subsequent Plan Years
unless and until he or she timely delivers a new Election Form to the
Committee.

     

    (d) Election
Form.  For the above elections to be valid, the Election Form
must be properly completed and signed by the Participant and timely delivered to
and accepted by the Committee.

     

    3.3 Withholding
of Annual Deferral Amounts.  For each Plan Year, the Base
Annual Salary portion of the Annual Deferral Amount shall be withheld from each
regularly scheduled Base Annual Salary payroll in equal amounts, as adjusted
from time to time for increases and decreases in Base Annual
Salary.  The Annual Bonus portion of the Annual Deferral Amount shall
be withheld at the time the Annual Bonus is or otherwise would be paid to the
Participant, whether or not this occurs during the Plan Year.  The
Director’s Compensation portion of the Annual Deferral Amount shall be withheld
at the time the Director’s Compensation is paid to the Participant, whether or
not this occurs during the Plan Year.

    (a) Discretionary
Matching Contributions.  Each Employer, in its sole discretion,
may agree to contribute on behalf of a Participant (or Participants) who is an
Employee of that Employer a Matching Contribution with respect to the Plan
Year.  The amount of the Matching Contribution shall be determined in
relation to the Participant’s Annual Deferral Amount, or to such other
compensation that the Participant makes to any other plan of deferred
compensation.  For any Plan Year, Matching Contributions may be made
for some, but not all, Participants, and the amount of the Matching Contribution
may vary from Participant to Participant, all as determined by the Employer in
its sole discretion.  No earnings shall be credited on any Matching
Contributions until after such contributions are allocated to a Participant’s
Matching Contribution Account.

     

    (b) Discretionary
Employer Contributions.  Each Employer may, but is not required
to, contribute on behalf of a Participant who is an Employee of that Employer an
additional Employer Contribution.  For any Plan Year, Employer
Contributions may be made for some, but not all, Participants, and the amount of
the Employer Contribution may vary from Participant to Participant, all as
determined by the Employer in its sole discretion.  No earnings shall
be credited on any Employer Contributions until after such contributions are
allocated to a Participant’s Employer Contribution Account.

of Trust Assets.  In the event that a Trust is established, the
assets of the Trust shall be invested solely in Company Stock, except for such
amounts of cash as the Trustee determines necessary to ensure the proper
operation of the Trust. 

     

    3.6 Vesting.  A
Participant shall at all times be 100% vested in his or her Deferral Account,
Employer Contribution Account, and Matching Contribution Account.

     

    3.7 Crediting/Debiting
of Account Balances.  In accordance with, and subject to, the
rules and procedures that are established from time to time by the Committee, in
its sole discretion, for each day that the New York Stock Exchange is open
(“Business Day”), amounts shall be credited or debited to a Participant’s
Account Balance as though (i) a Participant’s Account Balance were invested
in Company Stock; (ii) the portion of the Annual Deferral Amount that was
actually deferred during any calendar quarter was invested in Company Stock no
later than the close of business on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the day
on which such amounts are actually deferred from the Participant’s Base Annual
Salary through reductions in his or her payroll; and (iii) any distribution
made to a Participant that decreases such Participant’s Account Balance ceased
being invested in Company Stock no earlier than one Business Day prior to the
distribution, at the closing price on such date.  Any Employer
Contributions and/or Employer Matching Contributions shall be credited to a
Participant’s Employer Contribution Account and/or Matching Contribution
Account, as the case may be, no later than the end of the first calendar quarter
following the Plan Year to which such contributions relate.

     

    3.8 FICA and
Other Taxes.

     

    (a) Deferral
Account.  For each Plan Year in which an Annual Deferral Amount
is being withheld from a Participant, the Participant’s Employer(s) shall
withhold from that portion of the Participant’s Base Annual Salary, Annual Bonus
and Director’s Compensation that is not being deferred, in a manner determined
by the Employer(s), the Participant’s share of FICA and other employment taxes
on such Annual Deferral Amount.  If necessary, the Committee may
reduce the Annual Deferral Amount in order to comply with this
Section 3.8.

     

    (b) Matching
Contribution Account, Employer Contribution Account.  When a
Participant is credited with an Employer Contribution Amount or Matching
Contribution Amount in his or her Employer Contribution Account or Matching
Contribution Account, the Participant’s Employer(s) shall withhold from the
Participant’s Base Annual Salary and/or Annual Bonus that is not deferred, in a
manner determined by the Employer(s), the Participant’s share of FICA and other
employment taxes on such amount.  If necessary, the Committee may
reduce the Employer Contribution Account and/or Matching Contribution Account in
order to comply with this Section 3.8.

     

    (c) Distributions.  The
Participant’s Employer(s), or the trustee of the Trust, shall withhold from any
payments made to a Participant under this Plan all federal, state and local
income, employment and other taxes required to be withheld by the Employer(s),
or the trustee of the Trust, in connection with such payments, in amounts and in
a manner to be determined in the sole discretion of the Employer(s) and the
trustee of the Trust.

    Short-Term Payout;
Unforeseeable Financial Emergencies

     

    4.1 Short-Term
Payout.  In connection with each election to defer an Annual
Deferral Amount, a Participant may irrevocably elect to receive a future
Short-Term Payout from the Plan with respect to such Annual Deferral
Amount.  Subject to the Deduction Limitation and Section 4.2, the
Short-Term Payout shall be a lump sum payment in an amount that is equal to the
Annual Deferral Amount plus amounts credited or debited in the manner provided
in Section 3.8 above on that amount, determined at the time that the
Short-Term Payout becomes payable.  Subject to the Deduction
Limitation and the other terms and conditions of this Plan, each Short-Term
Payout elected shall be paid out on the applicable Benefit Payment
Date.  By way of example, if a five year Short-Term Payout is elected
for an Annual Deferral Amount deferred in the Plan Year commencing
January 1, 2009, the five-year Short-Term Payout would become payable
during the 60-day period commencing January 1, 2015.  For
purposes of this Section 4.1, “Participant” shall not include
Directors.

     

    4.2 Other
Benefits Take Precedence Over Short-Term.  Should an event
occur that triggers payment of a Separation from Service Benefit under
Article 5, any Annual Deferral Amount, plus amounts credited or debited
thereon, that is subject to a Short-Term Payout election under Section 4.1
shall not be paid in accordance with Section 4.1 but shall be paid in
accordance with Article 5.

     

    4.3 Withdrawal
Payout/Suspensions for Unforeseeable Financial Emergencies.  If
the Participant experiences an Unforeseeable Financial Emergency, the
Participant may petition the Committee to (i) suspend any deferrals
required to be made by a Participant and/or (ii) receive a partial or full
payout from the Plan.  The payout shall not exceed the lesser of the
Participant’s Account Balance, calculated as if such Participant were receiving
a Separation from Service Benefit, or the amount reasonably needed to satisfy
the Unforeseeable Financial Emergency.  If, subject to the sole
discretion of the Committee, the petition for a deferral suspension and/or
payout is approved, the deferral suspension shall take effect upon the date of
approval and any payout shall be made within 60 days of the date of
approval.  The payment of any amount under this Section 4.3 shall
be subject to the Deduction Limitation.

     

    4.4 Manner of
Payment.  All distributions made pursuant to this Article 4
shall be made in the form of Company Stock except for fractional shares, which
shall be distributed in cash.

Participant, in connection with his or her commencement of participation in the
Plan, elects payment of his Separation from Service Benefit in annual
installments, the Participant may elect whether, in the event of his death
before all such installment payments are made, his Beneficiary should receive
his remaining Account Balance in (i) installment payments over the remaining
number of years and in the same amounts as the benefit would have been paid to
the Participant had the Participant survived, or (ii) a lump
sum.   Such election shall be made no later than the applicable
Deferral Election Date.

     

    (c) If a
Participant does not make any election with respect to the payment of the
Separation from Service Benefit, then such benefit shall be payable in a lump
sum to be paid on the Benefit Payment Date.

     

    (d) Notwithstanding
the provisions of Sections 5.2(a) and (b) above, if the Participant’s Account
Balance is less than the dollar limitation in effect under Code section 402(g)
at the time of Separation from Service, payment of the Account Balance shall be
made in a lump sum no later than 30 days after the last day of the calendar
quarter in which the Participant experiences the Separation from Service;
provided, however, that payment of the Account Balance to a Participant who is
also a Specified Employee shall be made pursuant to Section 1.7(c). Any payment
made shall be subject to the Deduction Limitation.

     

    (e) All
distributions made pursuant to this Article 5 shall be made in the form of
Company Stock except for fractional shares, which shall be distributed in
cash.

     

    ARTICLE 6                                

     

    Disability
Waiver

     

    6.1 Waiver of
Deferral. A Participant who suffers from a Disability may petition the
Committee to be excused from fulfilling that portion of the Annual Deferral
Amount commitment that would otherwise have been withheld from the Participant’s
Base Annual Salary, Annual Bonus, or Director’s Compensation for the Plan Year
during which the Participant first suffers a Disability.  Such
petition must be submitted by the 15th day of the third month following the date
the participant becomes Disabled. The suspension shall take effect upon the date
the petition is approved by the Committee. During the period of Disability, the
Participant shall not be allowed to make any additional deferral elections, but
will continue to be considered a Participant for all other purposes of this
Plan.

     

    (a) Return to
Work. If a Participant returns to employment with an Employer after a
Disability ceases, the Participant may elect to defer an Annual Deferral Amount
for the Plan Year following his or her return to employment or service and for
every Plan Year thereafter while a Participant in the Plan; provided such
deferral elections are otherwise allowed and an Election Form is delivered to
and accepted by the Committee for each such election in accordance with
Section 3.2 above.

     

    ARTICLE 7                                

     

    Elections Relating to
Employer Contributions; 409A Transition Elections

     

    7.1 Timing of
Election.  If an individual initially becomes a Participant
solely as a result of the crediting of an Annual Employer Contribution Amount,
such Participant shall make the appropriate elections relating to the
distribution of such Amounts within 30 days after the end of the Plan Year with
respect to which such Annual Employer Contribution Amount is
credited.

     

    7.2 409A
Transition Elections.  Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to
the contrary, effective through December 31, 2008, a Participant may make new
distribution elections with respect to benefits other than Grandfathered
Benefits; provided that any such elections may only apply to benefits that would
not otherwise be payable in 2008 and may not cause a benefit to be paid in 2008
that would not otherwise be payable in 2008.  No election under this
Section 7.2 shall violate any constructive receipt or other tax rule that would
result in the acceleration of taxation of benefits.

     

    ARTICLE 8                                

     

    Beneficiary
Designation

     

    8.1 Beneficiary.  Each
Participant shall have the right, at any time, to designate his or her
Beneficiary(ies) (both primary as well as contingent) to receive any benefits
payable under the Plan to a beneficiary upon the death of a
Participant.  The Beneficiary designated under this Plan may be the
same as or different from the Beneficiary designation under any other plan of an
Employer in which the Participant participates.

     

    8.2 Beneficiary
Designation.  A Participant shall designate his or her
Beneficiary by completing and signing the Beneficiary Designation Form and
returning it to the Committee or its designated agent.  A Participant
shall have the right to change a Beneficiary by completing, signing and
otherwise complying with the terms of the Beneficiary Designation Form and the
Committee’s rules and procedures, as in effect from time to time.  If
the Participant names someone other than his or her spouse as a Beneficiary, a
spousal consent, in the form designated by the Committee, must be signed by that
Participant’s spouse and returned to the Committee. Upon the acceptance by the
Committee of a new Beneficiary Designation Form, all Beneficiary designations
previously filed shall be canceled.  The Committee shall be entitled
to rely on the last Beneficiary Designation Form filed by the Participant and
accepted by the Committee prior to his or her death.

     

    8.3 Acknowledgment.  No
designation or change in designation of a Beneficiary shall be effective until
received and acknowledged in writing by the Committee.

     

    8.4 No
Beneficiary Designation.  If a Participant fails to designate a
Beneficiary as provided under this Article 8 or, if all designated Beneficiaries
predecease the Participant or die prior to complete distribution of the
Participant’s benefits, then the Participant’s designated Beneficiary shall be
deemed to be his or her surviving spouse.  If the Participant has no
surviving spouse, the benefits remaining under the Plan to be paid to a
Beneficiary shall be payable to the executor or personal representative of the
Participant’s estate.

     

    8.5 Doubt as
to Beneficiary.  If the Committee has any doubt as to the
proper Beneficiary to receive payments pursuant to this Plan, the Committee
shall have the right, exercisable in its discretion, to cause the Participant’s
Employer to withhold such payments until this matter is resolved to the
Committee’s satisfaction.

     

    8.6 Discharge
of Obligations.  The payment of benefits under the Plan to a
Beneficiary shall fully and completely discharge all Employers and the Committee
from all further obligations under this Plan with respect to the Participant,
and that Participant’s Plan Agreement shall terminate upon such full payment of
benefits.

     

    ARTICLE 9                                

     

    Leave of
Absence

     

    9.1 Paid
Leave of Absence.  If a Participant is authorized by the
Participant’s Employer for any reason to take a paid leave of absence from the
employment of the Employer, the Participant shall continue to be considered
employed by the Employer and the Annual Deferral Amount shall continue to be
withheld during such paid leave of absence in accordance with
Section 3.3.

     

    9.2 Unpaid
Leave of Absence.  If a Participant is authorized by the
Participant’s Employer for any reason to take an unpaid leave of absence from
the employment of the Employer, the Participant shall continue to be considered
employed by the Employer and the Participant shall be excused from making
deferrals until the earlier of the date the leave of absence expires or the
Participant returns to paid employment status.  Upon such expiration
or return, deferrals shall resume for the remaining portion of the Plan Year in
which the expiration or return occurs, based on the deferral election, if any,
made for that Plan Year.  If no election was made for that Plan Year,
no deferral shall be withheld.

     

    ARTICLE 10                                

     

    Termination, Amendment or
Modification

     

    10.1 Termination.  

     

    (a) Although
all the Employers anticipate that the Plan will continue for an indefinite
period of time, there is no guarantee that the Plan will not terminate at any
time in the future.  Accordingly, the Employers reserve the right to
terminate the Plan at any time by action of each Employer’s board of
directors.

     

    (b) Upon
termination of the Plan, the Plan Agreements of the Participants shall terminate
and their Account Balances shall be distributed in a lump sum. The termination
of the Plan shall not adversely affect any Participant or Beneficiary who has
become entitled to the payment of any benefits under the Plan as of the date of
termination; provided however, that upon Plan termination, each Employer shall
accelerate installment payments without a premium or prepayment penalty by
paying the Account Balance in a lump sum.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, distributions shall not be made in connection with the termination of
the Plan unless all the requirements of Treas. Reg. §1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix) are
satisfied.  After a Change in Control, the effect of termination of
the Plan shall be governed by Section 10.3 below.

     

    10.2 Amendment.  Subject
to Section 10.3 below relating to amendments made after a Change in
Control, any Employer may, at any time, amend or modify the Plan in whole or in
part with respect to that Employer by the action of its board of directors;
provided, however, that: (i) no amendment or modification shall be
effective to decrease or restrict the value of a Participant’s Account Balance
in existence at the time the amendment or modification is made, calculated as if
the Participant had experienced a Separation from Service as of the effective
date of the amendment or modification; and (ii) no amendment or
modification of this Section 10.2 or Section 11.2 of the Plan shall be
effective.  Such amendment or modification of the Plan shall not
affect any Participant or Beneficiary who has become entitled to the payment of
benefits under the Plan as of the date of the amendment or
modification.

     

    10.3 Effect of
Change in Control.  Despite the provisions of
Sections 10.1 and 10.2 above, following a Change in Control, the provisions
of this Plan or any Participant’s Plan Agreement may not be amended or
terminated in any manner with respect to a Participant or Beneficiary if such
amendment or termination would have an adverse effect in any way upon the
computation or amount of or entitlement to benefits of such Participant or
Beneficiary under the Plan as in effect immediately prior to the Change in
Control, including, but not limited to, any adverse change in or to the
crediting or debiting of amounts to the Account Balances or the time or manner
of payment of the Account Balances to any Participant or Beneficiary, unless the
Participant or Beneficiary has given written consent to such amendment or
termination.  An “adverse change” for purposes of this
Section 10.3 shall include, but not be limited to, any acceleration of the
payment of the Account Balances payable to the Participant or Beneficiary or a
change in the composition of the risk and return characteristics represented by
the available Measurement Funds or the Participant’s or Beneficiary’s ability to
allocate his or her Account Balances among such Measurement Funds.

     

     

    10.4 Plan
Agreement.  Despite the provisions of Sections 10.1 and
10.2 above, if a Participant’s Plan Agreement contains benefits or limitations
that are not in this Plan document, the Employer may amend or terminate such
provisions only with the consent of the Participant.

     

    10.5 Effect of
Payment.  The full payment of the applicable benefit under
Articles 4 or 5 of the Plan shall completely discharge all obligations to a
Participant and his or her designated Beneficiaries under this Plan and the
Participant’s Plan Agreement shall thereafter terminate.

     

    ARTICLE 11                                

     

    Administration

     

    11.1 Committee
Duties.  Except as otherwise provided in this Article 11,
this Plan shall be administered by a Committee that shall consist of the Board,
or such committee as the Board shall appoint.  Members of the
Committee may be Participants under this Plan.  The Committee shall
also have the discretion and authority to (i) make, amend, interpret and
enforce all appropriate rules and regulations for the administration of this
Plan and (ii) decide or resolve any and all questions including
interpretations of this Plan, as may arise in connection with the
Plan.  Any individual serving on the Committee who is a Participant
shall not vote or act on any matter relating solely to himself or
herself.  When making a determination or calculation, the Committee
shall be entitled to rely on information furnished by a Participant or the
Company.

     

    11.2 Agents.
In the administration of this Plan, the Committee may, from time to time, employ
agents and delegate to them such administrative duties as it sees fit (including
acting through a duly appointed representative) and may from time to time
consult with counsel who may be counsel to any Employer.

     

    11.3 Indemnity
of Committee.  All Employers shall indemnify and hold harmless
the members of the Committee, and any Employee to whom the duties of the
Committee may be delegated, against any and all claims, losses, damages,
expenses or liabilities arising from any action or failure to act with respect
to this Plan, except in the case of willful misconduct by the Committee, any of
its members or any such Employee.

     

    11.4 Employer
Information.  To enable the Committee to perform its functions,
the Company and each Employer shall supply full and timely information to the
Committee on all matters relating to the compensation of its Participants, the
date and circumstances of the Disability or Separation from Service of its
Participants and such other pertinent information as the Committee may
reasonably require.

    Other Benefits and
Agreements

     

    12.1 Coordination
with Other Benefits.  The benefits provided for a Participant
and Participant’s Beneficiary under the Plan are in addition to any other
benefits available to such Participant under any other plan or program for
employees of the Participant’s Employer.  The Plan shall supplement
and shall not supersede, modify or amend any other such plan or program except
as may otherwise be expressly provided.

    Claims
Procedures

     

    13.1 Presentation
of Claim.  Any Participant or Beneficiary of a deceased
Participant (such Participant or Beneficiary being referred to below as a
“Claimant”) may deliver to the Committee or its designated agent a written claim
for a determination with respect to the amounts distributable to such Claimant
from the Plan.  If such a claim relates to the contents of a notice
received by the Claimant, the claim must be made within 60 days after such
notice was received by the Claimant.  All other claims must be made
within 180 days of the date on which the event that caused the claim to arise
occurred.  The claim must state with particularity the determination
desired by the Claimant.

     

    13.2 Notification
of Decision.  The Committee shall consider a Claimant’s claim
within a reasonable time and shall notify the Claimant in writing:

     

    (a) that the
Claimant’s requested determination has been made and that the claim has been
allowed in full; or

     

    (b) that the
Committee has reached a conclusion contrary, in whole or in part, to the
Claimant’s requested determination, and such notice must set forth in a manner
calculated to be understood by the Claimant:

     

    (i) the
specific reason(s) for the denial of the claim, or any part of it;

     

    (ii) specific
reference(s) to pertinent provisions of the Plan upon which such denial was
based;

     

    (iii) a
description of any additional material or information necessary for the Claimant
to perfect the claim, and an explanation of why such material or information is
necessary; and

     

    (iv) an
explanation of the claim review procedure set forth in Section 13.3
below.

     

    13.3 Review of
a Denied Claim.  Within 60 days after receiving a notice from
the Committee that a claim has been denied, in whole or in part, a Claimant (or
the Claimant’s duly authorized representative) may file with the Committee
a written request for a review of the denial of the
claim.  Thereafter, but not later than 30 days after the review
procedure has begun, the Claimant (or the Claimant’s duly authorized
representative):

     

    (a) may
review pertinent documents;

     

    (b) may
submit written comments or other documents; and/or

     

    (c) may
request a hearing, which the Committee, in its sole discretion, may
grant.

     

    13.4 Decision
on Review.  The Committee shall render its decision on review
promptly, and not later than 60 days after the filing of a written request for
review of the denial, unless a hearing is held or other special circumstances
require additional time, in which case the Committee’s decision must be rendered
within 120 days after such date.  Such decision must be written in a
manner calculated to be understood by the Claimant, and it must
contain:

     

    (a) specific
reasons for the decision;

     

    (b) specific
reference(s) to the pertinent Plan provisions upon which the decision was based;
and

     

    (c) such
other matters as the Committee deems relevant.

     

     

    13.5 Legal
Action.  A Claimant’s compliance with the foregoing provisions
of this Article 13 is a mandatory prerequisite to a Claimant’s right to
commence any legal action with respect to any claim for benefits under this
Plan.

     

    ARTICLE 14                                

     

    Trust

     

    14.1 Establishment
of the Trust.  The Company may establish a Trust to hold assets
in connection with this Plan. In the event that a Trust is established, each
Employer shall transfer over to the Trust such assets as the Employer
determines, in its sole discretion, are necessary to provide, on a present value
basis, for its respective future liabilities created with respect to the Annual
Deferral Amounts, Annual Employer Contribution Amounts and Matching Contribution
Amounts for such Employer’s Participants for all periods prior to the transfer,
as well as any debits and credits to the Participants’ Account Balances for all
periods prior to the transfer, taking into consideration the value of the assets
in the trust at the time of the transfer.

     

    14.2 Interrelationship
of the Plan and the Trust.  The provisions of the Plan and the
Plan Agreement shall govern the rights of a Participant to receive distributions
pursuant to the Plan.  The provisions of the Trust shall govern the
rights of the Employers, Participants and creditors of the Employers to the
assets transferred to the Trust.  Each Employer shall at all times
remain liable to carry out its obligations under the Plan.

     

    14.3 Distributions
From the Trust.  Each Employer’s obligations under the Plan may
be satisfied with Trust assets distributed pursuant to the terms of the Trust,
and any such distribution shall reduce the Employer’s obligations under this
Plan.

     

    ARTICLE 15                                

     

    Miscellaneous

     

    15.1 Status of
Plan.  The Plan is intended to be a plan that is not qualified
within the meaning of Code section 401(a) and that “is unfunded and is
maintained by an employer primarily for the purpose of providing deferred
compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees”
within the meaning of ERISA sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and
401(a)(1).  In all respects, the Plan is intended to comply with the
requirements of Code section 409A and all regulations issued
thereunder.  The Plan shall be administered and interpreted to the
extent possible in a manner consistent with that intent.

     

    15.2 Unsecured
General Creditor.  Participants and their Beneficiaries, heirs,
successors and assigns shall have no legal or equitable rights, interests or
claims in any property or assets of an Employer.  For purposes of the
payment of benefits under this Plan, any and all of an Employer’s assets shall
be, and remain, the general, unpledged unrestricted assets of the
Employer.  An Employer’s obligation under the Plan shall be merely
that of an unfunded and unsecured promise to pay money in the
future.

     

    15.3 Employer’s
Liability.  An Employer’s liability for the payment of benefits
shall be defined only by the Plan and the Plan Agreement, as entered into
between the Employer and a Participant.  An Employer shall have no
obligation to a Participant under the Plan except as expressly provided in the
Plan and his or her Plan Agreement.

     

    15.4 Nonassignability.  Neither
a Participant nor any other person shall have any right to commute, sell,
assign, transfer, pledge, anticipate, mortgage or otherwise encumber, transfer,
hypothecate, alienate or convey in advance of actual receipt, the amounts, if
any, payable hereunder, or any part thereof, which are, and all rights to which
are expressly declared to be, unassignable and non-transferable.  No
part of the amounts payable shall, prior to actual payment, be subject to
seizure, attachment, garnishment or sequestration for the payment of any debts,
judgments, alimony or separate maintenance owed by a Participant or any other
person, be transferable by operation of law in the event of a Participant’s or
any other person’s bankruptcy or insolvency or be transferable to a spouse as a
result of a property settlement or otherwise.

     

    15.5 Not a
Contract of Employment.  The terms and conditions of this Plan
shall not be deemed to constitute a contract of employment between any Employer
and the Participant.  Such employment is hereby acknowledged to be an
“at-will” employment relationship that can be terminated at any time for any
reason, or no reason, with or without cause, and with or without notice, unless
expressly provided in a written employment agreement.  Nothing in this
Plan shall be deemed to give a Participant the right to be retained in the
service of any Employer as an Employee, or to interfere with the right of any
Employer to discipline or discharge the Participant at any time.

     

    15.6 Furnishing
Information.  A Participant or his or her Beneficiary will
cooperate with the Committee by furnishing any and all information requested by
the Committee and take such other actions as may be requested in order to
facilitate the administration of the Plan and the payments of benefits
hereunder, including but not limited to taking such physical examinations as the
Committee may deem necessary.

     

    15.7 Terms.  Whenever
any words are used herein in the masculine, they shall be construed as though
they were in the feminine in all cases where they would so apply; and whenever
any words are used herein in the singular or in the plural, they shall be
construed as though they were used in the plural or the singular, as the case
may be, in all cases where they would so apply.

     

    15.8 Captions.  The
captions of the articles, sections and paragraphs of this Plan are for
convenience only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of
any of its provisions.

     

    15.9 Governing
Law.  Subject to ERISA, the provisions of this Plan shall be
construed and interpreted according to the internal laws of the State of
Illinois without regard to its conflicts of laws principles.

     

    15.10 Notice.  Any
notice or filing required or permitted to be given to the Committee under this
Plan shall be sufficient if in writing and hand-delivered, or sent by registered
or certified mail, to the address below:

     

    Executive
Vice President- Administration

    MB
Financial, Inc.

    6111
North River Road

    Rosemont,
IL 60018

     

    Such
notice shall be deemed given as of the date of delivery or, if delivery is made
by mail, as of the date shown on the postmark on the receipt for registration or
certification.

     

    Any
notice or filing required or permitted to be given to a Participant under this
Plan shall be sufficient if in writing and hand-delivered, or sent by mail, to
the last known address of the Participant.

     

    15.11 Successors.  The
provisions of this Plan shall bind and inure to the benefit of the Participant’s
Employer and its successors and assigns and the Participant and the
Participant’s designated Beneficiaries.  The Company shall require any
successor or assignee to expressly and unconditionally assume and agree to
perform or cause to be performed each Employer’s obligations
hereunder.  In addition, the Company shall require the ultimate parent
entity of any successor or assignee to expressly guaranty the prompt performance
by such successor or assignee.

     

    15.12 Spouse’s
Interest.  The interest in the benefits hereunder of a spouse
of a Participant who has predeceased the Participant shall automatically pass to
the Participant and shall not be transferable by such spouse in any manner,
including but not limited to such spouse’s will, nor shall such interest pass
under the laws of intestate succession.

     

    15.13 Validity.  In
case any provision of this Plan shall be illegal or invalid for any reason, said
illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts hereof, and this
Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal or invalid provision had
never been inserted herein.

     

    15.14 Incompetent.  If
the Committee determines in its discretion that a benefit under this Plan is to
be paid to a minor, a person declared incompetent or a person incapable of
handling the disposition of that person’s property, the Committee may direct
payment of such benefit to the guardian, legal representative or person having
the care and custody of such minor, incompetent or incapable
person.  The Committee may require proof of minority, incompetence,
incapacity or guardianship, as it may deem appropriate, prior to distribution of
the benefit.  Any payment of a benefit shall be a payment for the
account of the Participant and the Participant’s Beneficiary, as the case may
be, and shall be a complete discharge of any liability under the Plan for such
payment amount.

     

    15.15 Court
Order.  The Committee is authorized to make any payments
directed by court order in any action in which the Plan or the Committee has
been named as a party.  In addition, if a court determines that a
spouse or former spouse of a Participant has an interest in the Participant’s
benefits under the Plan in connection with a property settlement or otherwise,
the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall have the right, notwithstanding any
election made by a Participant, to immediately distribute the spouse’s or former
spouse’s interest in the Participant’s benefits under the Plan to that spouse or
former spouse. 

     

    15.16 Distribution
in the Event of Taxation.

     

    (a) In
General.  If, for any reason, all or any portion of a
Participant’s benefits under this Plan becomes taxable to the Participant prior
to receipt, a Participant may petition the Committee before a Change in Control,
or the trustee of the Trust after a Change in Control, for a distribution of
that portion of his or her benefit that has become taxable.  Upon the
grant of such a petition, which grant shall not be unreasonably withheld (and,
after a Change in Control, shall be granted), a Participant’s Employer shall
distribute to the Participant immediately available funds in an amount equal to
the taxable portion of his or her benefit (which amount shall not exceed a
Participant’s unpaid Account Balance under the Plan).  If the petition
is granted, the tax liability distribution shall be made within 90 days of the
date when the Participant’s petition is granted.  Such a distribution
shall affect and reduce the benefits to be paid under this Plan.

     

    (b) Trust.  If
the Trust terminates in accordance with its terms and benefits are distributed
from the Trust thereunder to a Participant, the Participant’s benefits under
this Plan shall be reduced to the extent of such distributions.

     

    15.17 Insurance.  The
Employers, on their own behalf or on behalf of the trustee of the Trust, and, in
their sole discretion, may apply for and procure insurance on the life of the
Participant, in such amounts and in such forms as the Trust may
choose.  The Employers or the trustee of the Trust, as the case may
be, shall be the sole owner and beneficiary of any such
insurance.  The Participant shall have no interest whatsoever in any
such policy or policies and at the request of the Employers shall submit to
medical examinations and supply such information and execute such documents as
may be required by the insurance company or companies to whom the Employers have
applied for insurance.

     

    15.18 Legal
Fees to Enforce Rights After Change in Control.  In the event
of a Change in Control, the Company shall pay all reasonable legal fees, costs
and expenses incurred by a Participant or Beneficiary in enforcing any provision
of this Plan or as a result of the Company’s or any Employer’s contesting the
validity, enforceability or interpretation of this Plan.  Such payment
shall be made within 30 days after the Participant or Beneficiary submits in
writing a request for payment accompanied with such evidence of fees and
expenses incurred by the Participant or Beneficiary. In no case will a payment

    APPENDIX
A

     

    The
following provisions govern the distribution of benefits that were earned and
vested as of December 31, 2004 (including any earnings thereon).  The
provisions of this Appendix A mirror the Plan provisions effective as of
December 31, 2004 and should be interpreted accordingly.

     

    A.1.  Definitions

     

    (a) “Account
Balance” shall mean a Participant’s vested interest in the Plan as of December
31, 2004.

     

    (b) “Annual
Installment Method” shall be annual installment payments over the number of
years selected by the Participant in accordance with the Plan, calculated as
follows:  Prior to the last Business Day of the year, the Account
Balance of the Participant shall be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of
which is one, and the denominator of which is the remaining number of annual
payments due the Participant (including the installment being
calculated).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any installment payments
payable under the Plan shall constitute a single payment for purposes of
compliance with Code section 409A.

     

    By way of
example, if the Participant elects a 10 year Annual Installment Method, the
first payment shall be 1/10 of the Account Balance, calculated as described in
this definition.  The following year, the payment shall be 1/9 of the
Account Balance, calculated as described in this definition. Each annual
installment shall be paid on or as soon as administratively practicable
following the last Business Day of the applicable year, but in no event more
than 30 days after such date.

     

    (c) “Disability”
shall mean a period of disability during which a Participant qualifies for
permanent disability benefits under the Participant’s Employer’s long-term
disability plan, or, if a Participant does not participate in such a plan, a
period of disability during which the Participant would have qualified for
permanent disability benefits under such a plan had the Participant been a
participant in such a plan, as determined in the sole discretion of the
Committee.  If the Participant’s Employer does not sponsor such a
plan, or discontinues to sponsor such a plan, Disability shall be determined by
the Committee in its sole discretion.

     

    (d) “Retirement,”
“Retire(s)” or “Retired” shall mean severance from employment from all Employers
for any reason other than a leave of absence, death or Disability on or after
the earlier of the attainment of (a) age sixty-five (65) or (b) age fifty-five
(55) with ten (10) years of service.

     

    (e) “Termination
of Employment” or “Termination” shall mean the severing of employment with all
Employers, voluntarily or involuntarily, for any reason other than Retirement,
Disability, death or an authorized leave of absence.

     

    (f) “Unforeseeable
Financial Emergency” shall mean an unanticipated emergency that is caused by an
event beyond the control of the Participant that would result in severe
financial hardship to the Participant resulting from (i) a sudden and
unexpected illness or accident of the Participant or a dependent of the
Participant, (ii) a loss of the Participant’s property due to casualty, or
(iii) such other extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising as a
result of events beyond the control of the Participant, all as determined in the
sole discretion of the Committee.  A distribution will be deemed to be
on account of an Unforeseeable Financial Emergency if the distribution is on
account of:

     

    (i) Unreimbursed
medical expenses (as defined in Code section 213(d)) and amounts necessary
to obtain medical care for the Participant, the Participant’s spouse or any
dependent;

     

    (ii) the
purchase of the Participant’s principal residence (but not ongoing mortgage
payments);

     

    (iii) tuition
and related educational fees for the immediately forthcoming twelve (12) month
period of post-secondary education for the Participant, his spouse or
dependents;

     

    (iv) the need
to prevent eviction from or foreclosure on a Participant’s principal
residence.

     

    Terms
used in this Appendix but not defined above shall be defined under the terms of
the Plan in effect as of December 31, 2004.

     

    A.2.  Distribution
of Benefits

     

    (a) Withdrawal
Payout/Suspensions for Unforeseeable Financial Emergencies.  If
the Participant experiences an Unforeseeable Financial Emergency, the
Participant may petition the Committee to receive a partial or full payout from
the Plan.  The payout shall not exceed the lesser of the Participant’s
Account Balance, calculated as if such Participant were receiving a Termination
Benefit, or the amount reasonably needed to satisfy the Unforeseeable Financial
Emergency.  If, subject to the sole discretion of the Committee, the
petition for payout is approved, any payout shall be made within 60 days of the
date of approval.  The payment of any amount under this
Section A.2(a) shall be subject to the Deduction Limitation.

     

    (b) Withdrawal
Election.  A Participant (or, after a Participant’s death, his
or her Beneficiary) may elect, at any time, to withdraw all of his or her
Account Balance, calculated as if there had occurred a Termination of Employment
as of the day of the election, less a withdrawal penalty equal to 10% of such
amount (the net amount shall be referred to as the “Withdrawal
Amount”).  This election can be made at any time, before or after
Retirement, Disability, death or Termination of Employment, and whether or not
the Participant (or Beneficiary) is in the process of being paid pursuant to an
installment payment schedule.  If made before Retirement, Disability
or death, a Participant’s Withdrawal Amount shall be his or her Account Balance
calculated as if there had occurred a Termination of Employment as of the day of
the election.  No partial withdrawals of the Withdrawal Amount shall
be allowed.  The Participant (or his or her Beneficiary) shall make
this election by giving the Committee advance written notice of the election in
a form determined from time to time by the Committee.  The Participant
(or his or her Beneficiary) shall be paid the Withdrawal Amount within 60 days
of his or her election.  The payment of the Withdrawal Amount shall be
subject to the Deduction Limitation.

     

    (c) Retirement
Benefit.  Subject to the
Deduction Limitation, a Participant who Retires shall receive as a Retirement
Benefit his or her Account Balance.

     

    (i) Payment of Retirement
Benefit.  The Committee, in its sole and unrestricted
discretion, but taking into account any election made by the Participant, shall
determine whether the Participant will receive distribution of all amounts
payable to him under this paragraph in (i) a lump sum,
(ii) five (5) annual installments or (iii) ten (10) annual
installments.  The Participant may change his elected form of payment
by submitting an Election Form to that effect which is accepted by the Committee
at least twelve (12) months prior to his or her Retirement Date. Installment
payments shall be calculated and paid pursuant to the Annual Installment Method.
The lump sum payment shall be made, or installment payments shall commence, no
later than 60 days after the date the Participant Retires.

     

    (ii) Death Prior to Entire
Payment of Retirement Benefit.  If a Participant dies after
Retirement but before the Retirement Benefit is paid in full, the Participant’s
unpaid Retirement Benefit payments shall continue and shall be paid to the
Participant’s Beneficiary (i) over the remaining number of months and in
the same amounts as that benefit would have been paid to the Participant had the
Participant survived, or (ii) in a lump sum, if requested by the
Beneficiary and allowed in the sole discretion of the Committee, that is equal
to the Participant’s unpaid remaining Account Balance.  Payment shall
be payable either in cash or in-kind, as determined in the sole discretion of
the Committee, taking into account any request made by the
Beneficiary.

     

    (d) Pre-Retirement
Survivor Benefit.  Subject to the
Deduction Limitation, the Participant’s Beneficiary shall receive a
Pre-Retirement Survivor Benefit equal to the Participant’s Account Balance if
the Participant dies before he or she Retires, experiences a Termination of
Employment or suffers a Disability.

     

    (i) Payment of Pre-Retirement
Survivor Benefit.  The Committee, in its sole and unrestricted
discretion, but taking into account any election made by the Participant, shall
determine whether the Participant will receive distribution of all amounts
payable to him under this paragraph, in (i) a lump sum, (ii) five (5)
annual installments or (iii) ten (10) annual
installments.  Installment payments shall be calculated and paid
pursuant to the Annual Installment Method. The lump sum payment shall be made,
or installment payments shall commence, no later than 60 days after the date the
Committee is provided with proof that is satisfactory to the Committee of the
Participant’s death. Any payment made shall be subject to the Deduction
Limitation.

     

    (e) Termination
Benefit.  Subject to the Deduction Limitation, the Participant
shall receive a Termination Benefit, which shall be equal to the Participant’s
Account Balance if a Participant experiences a Termination of Employment prior
to his or her Retirement, death or Disability.

     

    (i) Payment of Termination
Benefit.  The Committee, in its sole and unrestricted
discretion, but taking into account any election made by the Participant, shall
determine whether the Participant will receive distribution of all amounts
payable to him under this paragraph in (i) a lump sum, (ii) five (5)
annual installments or (iii) ten (10) annual installments.  The
Participant may change his elected form of payment by submitting an Election
Form to that effect which is accepted by the Committee at least twelve (12)
months prior to his or her Termination Date. Installment payments shall be
calculated and paid pursuant to the Annual Installment Method. The lump sum
payment shall be made, or installment payments shall commence, no later than 60
days after the date of the Participant’s Termination of
Employment.  Any payment made shall be subject to the Deduction
Limitation.  Should the Participant die before payment of his entire
Termination Benefit, Section A.2(c)(ii) shall apply.

     

    (f) Disability Waiver and
Benefit.

     

    (i) Continued Eligibility;
Disability Benefit.  A Participant suffering a Disability
shall, for benefit purposes under this Plan, continue to be considered to be
employed and shall be eligible for the benefits provided in subsections A.2(a),
(b), (c), (d) or (e) in accordance with the provisions of those
subsections.  Notwithstanding the above, the Committee shall have the
right to, in its sole and absolute discretion and for purposes of this Plan
only, and must in the case of a Participant who is otherwise eligible to Retire,
deem the Participant to have experienced a Termination of Employment, or in the
case of a Participant who is eligible to Retire, to have Retired, at any time
(or in the case of a Participant who is eligible to Retire, as soon as
practicable) after such Participant is determined to be suffering a Disability,
in which case the Participant shall receive a Disability Benefit equal to his or
her Account Balance at the time of the Committee’s determination; provided,
however, that should the Participant otherwise have been eligible to Retire, he
or she shall be paid in accordance with Section A.2(c).  The
Disability Benefit shall be paid in a lump sum within 60 days of the Committee’s
exercise of such right.  Any payment made shall be subject to the
Deduction Limitation.

     

    (g) Court
Order.  The Committee is authorized to make any payments
directed by court order in any action in which the Plan or the Committee has
been named as a party.  In addition, if a court determines that a
spouse or former spouse of a Participant has an interest in the Participant’s
benefits under the Plan in connection with a property settlement or otherwise,
the Committee, in its sole discretion shall have the right, notwithstanding any
election made by a Participant, to immediately distribute the spouse’s or former
spouse’s interest in the Participant’s benefits under the Plan to that spouse or
former spouse.

     

    (h) Distribution in the Event of
Taxation.

     

    (i) In
General.  If, for any reason, all or any portion of a
Participant’s benefits under this Plan becomes taxable to the Participant prior
to receipt, a Participant may petition the Committee before a Change in Control,
or the trustee of the Trust after a Change in Control, for a distribution of
that portion of his or her benefit that has become taxable.  Upon the
grant of such a petition, which grant shall not be unreasonably withheld (and,
after a Change in Control, shall be granted), a Participant’s Employer shall
distribute to the Participant immediately available funds in an amount equal to
the taxable portion of his or her benefit (which amount shall not exceed a
Participant’s unpaid Account Balance under the Plan).  If the petition
is granted, the tax liability distribution shall be made within 90 days of the
date when the Participant’s petition is granted.  Such a distribution
shall affect and reduce the benefits to be paid under this Plan.

     

    (ii) Trust.  If
the Trust terminates in accordance with Section 3.6(e) of the Trust, and
benefits are distributed from the Trust to a Participant in accordance with that
Section, the Participant’s benefits under this Plan shall be reduced to the
extent of such distributions.

     

    (i) Termination
of Participation Benefit. If the Committee determines in good faith that
a Participant no longer qualifies as a member of a select group of management or
highly compensated employees, as membership in such group is determined in
accordance with Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a)(1) of ERISA, or is no
longer a director, the Committee shall have the right, in its sole discretion
immediately distribute the Participant’s then Account Balance as a Termination
Benefit to the Participant.

     

    (j) Manner of
Payment. All
distributions made pursuant to this Section A.2 shall be made in the form of
Company Stock except for fractional shares, which shall be distributed in
cash.
