as a result of the Director’s election to defer Director’s Fees pursuant to paragraph 2.1. 
 (j) “Plan.” This Deferred
Compensation Plan for Directors as it may be amended from time to time. 
 ARTICLE II 
 Participants and Deferral of Fees 
 2.1 Any Director may elect to defer
all or a portion of his Director’s Fees. An election to defer Director’s Fees for any year shall be made prior to December 31 of the preceding calendar year. The election shall be made in writing, signed by the Participant, and
delivered to the Committee prior to the taxable year during which the services giving rise to the Director’s Fees are rendered. 
 A
Director elected to fill a vacancy and who is not on the Board on the preceding December 31, may elect, before his term begins (but in no event later than 30 days after his term begins), to defer all or a portion of his Director’s Fees for
the balance of the calendar year following his election. The election for a succeeding calendar year shall be made as provided above. 
 2.2 Before the end of each calendar year, the Committee shall provide the CTLC Corporate Secretary with the name of each Director who has elected, as provided in paragraph 2.1, to participate in the Plan. 

 ARTICLE III 
 Credits and Distributions 
 3.1 Subject to such reasonable rules as may be prescribed by the
Committee, the Annual Deferral Amount shall be credited to the Participant’s Account. The Committee shall increase annually the Participant’s Account by an amount which is equal to interest on the Participant’s Account (including
amounts previously credited under this paragraph 3.1) at the rate of return earned by CTLC on its short term investments. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the average rate earned for the calendar year shall be used to set the rate of return
on the Participant’s Account. The good faith determination by the Treasurer of CTLC of the average rate of return shall be conclusive. The average rate of return on tax-free or other tax-favored obligations, such as preferred stock dividends,
will be adjusted to CTLC’s tax equivalent rate. 
 3.2 The Committee shall cause sufficient records to be kept in the name of
each Participant and each beneficiary of a deceased Participant to reflect the value of the Participant’s Account. 
 3.3 Unless
the Participant elects otherwise as described below, the Committee shall distribute the amounts credited to the Participant in substantially equal installments over a ten (10) year period upon the Participant ceasing to be a member of the
Board. In accordance with procedures established by the Committee, a Participant may elect an alternate form of payment of the Participant’s entire Account. 
 3.4 Each Participant shall have the right to designate beneficiaries who are to succeed to his right to receive future payments hereunder in the event of his death. Distribution shall be made to the
Participant’s estate where no beneficiary designation is in effect. No designation of beneficiary shall be valid unless in writing, signed by the Participant, dated, and filed with the Committee. Beneficiaries may be changed at any time without
the consent of any prior beneficiary. 

 3.5 Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to create a trust of any kind or to create any
fiduciary relationship. Funds invested hereunder shall continue for all purposes to be part of the general funds of CTLC, and no person other than CTLC shall, by virtue of the provisions of this Plan, have any interest in such fund. To the extent
that any person acquires a right to receive payment from CTLC under this Plan, such rights shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of CTLC. 
 ARTICLE IV 
 Administration 
 4.1 The books and records to be maintained for the purpose of the Plan may be maintained by the officers and employees of CTLC at its expense and
subject to the provisions and control of the Committee. All expenses of administering the Plan shall be paid by CTLC. 
 4.2 The right
of any Participant or any beneficiary in any benefit or to any payment hereunder shall not be subject in any manner to attachment or other legal process for the debts of such Participant or beneficiary; and any such benefit or payment shall not be
subject to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment or encumbrance. 
 4.3 No member of the Board or of the Committee and
no officer or employee of CTLC shall be liable to any person for any action taken or omitted in connection with the administration of this Plan unless attributable to his own fraud or wilful misconduct; nor shall CTLC be liable to any person for
such action unless attributable to fraud or wilful misconduct on the part of a Director, officer or employee of CTLC. 
 ARTICLE V 

Amendment and Termination of the Plan 
 5.1 The Plan may be amended in whole or in part from time to time by the Board of CTLC. 

 5.2 Notice of every such amendment shall be given in writing to each Participant and beneficiary
of a deceased Participant. 
 5.3 If a Change in Control (as defined below) occurs, CTLC may terminate the Plan and distribute all
amounts credited to all Participants as permitted under and in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, and the regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this paragraph 5.3, a “Change in Control” shall
be deemed to have occurred if (a) as a result of any transaction, another person or entity (the “Acquiror”), acquires voting stock of CTLC in an aggregate amount so as to enable the Acquiror to exercise more than fifty percent
(50%) of the voting power of CTLC, (b) an unrelated Acquiror acquires all or substantially all of the assets of CTLC, or (c) upon the consummation of a merger or consolidation to which CTLC is a party, the voting stock of CTLC
outstanding immediately prior to consummation of the merger or consolidation is converted into cash or securities possessing less than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the surviving corporation. 
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, CTLC has caused this Plan to be executed in its name and behalf this
25th day of July, 2007, by its officer thereunto duly authorized.

 Exhibit 10.49 
 AMENDED AND RESTATED 
 CHANGE IN CONTROL SEVERANCE AGREEMENT 
 This Amended and Restated Change In Control Severance Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into as of the 24th day of August 2007, by and among
Taylor Capital Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), Cole Taylor Bank, an Illinois banking corporation (the “Bank”), and Robin Vancastle (the “Executive”). 
 WITNESSETH: 
 WHEREAS, the Executive and the
Bank previously entered into a Change in Control Severance Agreement dated March 19, 2003 (the “Prior Agreement”); and 
 WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive desire to amend and restate the Prior Agreement in its entirety as set forth herein; 
 NOW
THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual covenants herein contained the value of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
 1. Bank Obligation. Subject to the limitations of this Agreement, if during the Change in
Control Period the Bank shall terminate the Executive’s employment other than for Cause, or if during the Change in Control Period the Executive shall terminate his employment with the Bank for Good Reason, (1) the Bank shall pay to the
Executive in a single sum within thirty (30) days after the termination of employment (or, to the extent required to comply with the key employee designation of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
“Code”), six months after the termination of employment), an amount equal to two and one-half (2- 1/2)
times the Executive’s annual Compensation, (2) for a period of not more than eighteen consecutive months beginning with the date of the Executive’s termination of employment, the Bank
shall provide, at no cost to the Executive and his Qualifying Family Members, COBRA Continuation Coverage, and (3) the Bank shall provide executive level outplacement assistance benefits beginning with the date of the Executive’s
termination of employment through a provider of the Bank’s choosing. If the Executive’s employment is terminated by Executive during the Change in Control Period for any reason other than a Good Reason, or if the Bank shall terminate the
Executive’s employment during the Change in Control Period due to Cause, or due to Executive’s death or the Executive’s disability which renders him unable to perform the essential functions of the position, this Agreement shall
terminate without any obligation of the Company to the Executive hereunder. For purposes of this Agreement, Executive’s employment shall not be considered to have been terminated by the Bank if the Executive is offered employment by a successor
to the Bank or its business or assets or by an Affiliate or a successor to an Affiliate or its business or assets on terms and conditions that are reasonably comparable to the Executive’s terms and conditions of employment with the Bank
(including this Agreement). If any payment or benefit under this Agreement, either alone or together with any other payment, benefit, transfer of property, or acceleration of vesting or payment, which the Executive receives or has a right to receive
from any person or entity (“Total 

 
Payments”), would constitute a nondeductible “excess parachute payment” (as defined in Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended (“Code”)) or nondeductible “employee remuneration” under Section 162(m) of the Code, such payment or benefit under this Agreement shall be reduced (but not below zero) to the largest amount as will result in no
portion of the Total Payments being nondeductible under the Code. The Bank agrees to undertake such reasonable efforts as it may determine in its sole discretion to prevent any payment or benefit under this Agreement from constituting a
nondeductible payment, provided the Bank is not obligated to incur additional cost in order to make a payment nondeductible. The determination of any reduction under the preceding sentences shall be made by the Bank in good faith, and such
determination shall be binding on the Executive. The reduction provided by the fourth sentence of this Section 1 shall apply only if, after reduction for any applicable federal excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code and federal
income tax imposed by the Code, the total payment accruing to the Executive, would be less than the amount of the Total Payments as reduced under said fourth sentence and after reduction for federal income taxes. 
 2. Other Benefits. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or limit the Executive’s continuing or future participation in any other
non-severance plan, program, policy or practice of the Company, Bank or any Affiliate for which the Executive may qualify, nor shall anything in this Agreement limit or otherwise affect the rights of the Bank or the Executive under any other
non-severance plan, program, policy, practice, contract or agreement to which the Company, Bank or any Affiliate may be a party. Any amounts payable or rights or benefits furnished to the Executive under any such non-severance plan, program, policy,
practice, contract or agreement with the Company, Bank or any of its Affiliates at or subsequent to the date of the Executive’s termination of employment shall be payable in accordance with the terms of such plan, program, policy, practice,
contract or agreement and without regard to this Agreement, except as explicitly modified by this Agreement. Amounts payable in respect of this Agreement shall not be taken into account with respect to any other non-severance employee benefit plan
or arrangement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, benefits payable to Executive under Section 1 hereof shall be in lieu of benefits under any other severance plan, program, policy, or practice of the Company, Bank or any
Affiliate. 
 3. Mitigation; Release. The Executive shall not be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of
mitigation of the amounts payable to the Executive under this Agreement, and the amount payable under this Agreement shall not be reduced whether or not the Executive obtains other employment. The Company’s obligation to make the payment
provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other claim, right or action which the Company may have against the Executive or others. In
consideration for the protection and benefits provided for under this Agreement, Executive agrees to execute a general release, in a form to be provided by the Bank, of any claims the Executive may otherwise have against the Company, the Bank and
any Affiliate that Executive might otherwise assert (other than pursuant to any of the plans, programs, etc., specifically described in Sections 1 or 2 hereof). The Bank’s obligations under this Agreement are conditioned on Executive providing
such release to the Bank at the time and in the form requested by the Bank. 

 4. Successors. 
 (a) This Agreement is personal to the Executive and shall not be assignable by the Executive. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of
and be enforceable by the Executive’s legal representatives including the Executive’s executor, trustee or administrator. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event of Executive’s death following a termination of
Executive’s employment with the Bank during the Change in Control Period under circumstances described in the first sentence of Section 1 hereof, (i) if the Executive’s death shall have occurred prior to the payment of the lump
sum amount set forth in clause (1) of the first sentence of Section 1, such amount shall thereafter be paid to Executive’s estate and (ii) if the Executive’s death shall have occurred prior to the end of the 18 month period
described in clause (2) the first sentence of Section 1 hereof, the Bank will continue to provide at no cost COBRA Continuation Coverage to Executive’s Qualifying Family Members (but only to the extent a Qualifying Family Member is
being provided such coverage at the time of Executive’s death) for the remainder of such 18 month period, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7(f). 
 (b) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns. 
 (c) The Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or
substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to assume expressly and agree to perform this Agreement. 
 5. Resolution
of Disputes. Any dispute related to the interpretation or enforcement of this Agreement shall be enforceable only by arbitration in Cook County, Illinois (or such other metropolitan area to which the Company’s principal executive officers
may be relocated if such relocation does not result in Good Reason for the Executive to terminate employment), in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules then in effect of the American Arbitration Association, before a panel of three
arbitrators, one of whom shall be selected by the Company, the second of whom shall be selected by the Executive and the third of whom shall be selected by the other two arbitrators. In the absence of the American Arbitration Association, or if for
any reason arbitration under the arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association cannot be initiated, or if one of the parties fails or refuses to select an arbitrator, or if the arbitrators selected by the Company and the Executive cannot
agree on the selection of the third arbitrator within seven days after such time as the Company and the Executive have each been notified of the selection of the other’s arbitrator, the necessary arbitrator or arbitrators shall be selected by
the presiding judge of the court of general jurisdiction in the metropolitan area where arbitration under this Section would otherwise have been conducted. The arbitrators shall award to the Executive his reasonable legal fees and expenses in
connection with any arbitration proceeding hereunder if (i) the arbitration is commenced by the Company, and the Company has no reasonable basis for initiating such proceeding, or (ii) the arbitration is commenced by the Executive, and the
Executive prevails on the Executive’s claim in the arbitration proceeding. The arbitrators shall award to the Company its legal fees and expenses incurred in connection with any arbitration proceeding hereunder if the arbitration proceeding is
commenced by the Executive, and the Executive has no reasonable basis for initiating such proceeding. The parties 

 
agree that the arbitration panel shall construe this paragraph to determine whether either party is entitled to recover its cost and fees hereunder. Any
award entered by the arbitrators shall be formal, binding and nonappealable and judgment may be entered thereon by any party in accordance with applicable law in any court of competent jurisdiction. This arbitration provision shall be specifically
enforceable. 
 6. Miscellaneous. 
 (a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois, without reference to principles of conflict of laws. The captions of this Agreement are not part of the
provisions hereof and shall have no force or effect. This Agreement may not be amended or modified otherwise than by a written agreement executed by the parties hereto or their respective successors and legal representatives.

 If the Executive does not notify the Company or the Bank and incurs the termination of employment within 120 days of the date the Executive knew or should
have reasonably known of the event giving rise to Good Reason, the Executive shall be deemed to have waived his right to a termination for Good Reason based upon such event or the continuing effect or occurrence of such event. 
 (j) “Taylor Family” means (i) Iris Taylor and the Estate of Sidney J. Taylor, (ii) a descendant (or a spouse of
a descendant) of Sidney J. Taylor and Iris Taylor, (iii) any estate, trust, guardianship or custodianship for the primary benefit of any individual described in (i) or (ii) above, or (iv) a proprietorship, partnership, limited
