THIS
AGREEMENT, entered into as of the Grant Date (as defined in
paragraph Section 1(b)), by and between the Participant and Old Second Bancorp,
Inc., a Delaware corporation;

 

WITNESSETH THAT:

 

WHEREAS,
the Company maintains the Old Second Bancorp, Inc. 2008 Equity Incentive
Plan (the “Plan”) , which is incorporated
into and forms a part of this Award Agreement, and the Participant has been
selected by the Committee administering the Plan to receive a Restricted Stock Unit
Award under the Plan;

 

NOW,
THEREFORE, IT IS AGREED, by and between the Company and the
Participant, as follows:

 

Section 1.                                         Terms of Award.  The following terms used
in this Award Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in Section 1:

 

(a)                                  The
“Participant” is                                     .

 

(b)                                 The
“Grant Date” is                                     .

 

(c)                                  The
number of “Restricted Stock Units”
is                         .
 Restricted Stock Units are subject to
the terms and conditions of this Award Agreement and the Plan.

 

Except where the context
clearly implies to the contrary, any capitalized term in this Award Agreement
shall have the meaning ascribed to that term under the Plan.

 

Section
2.                                         Award.  The Participant is hereby granted the number
of Restricted Stock Units set forth in Section 1(c).  Each Restricted Stock Unit (“RSU”) represents the right to receive one share of Stock in
the future as set forth in Section 1. This Award is in all respects limited and
conditioned as provided herein.  The RSUs
will be credited to the Participant in an unfunded bookkeeping account
established for the participant by the Company.

 

Section 3.                                         Restricted Period.  This Award Agreement evidences the Company’s
grant to the Participant as of the Grant Date, on the terms and conditions
described in this Award Agreement and in the Plan, a number of RSUs, each of
which represents the right of the Participant to receive a share of Stock free of
restrictions once the Restricted Period ends.

 

(a)                                  Subject
to the limitations of this Award Agreement, the “Restricted
Period” for each installment of such RSUs (“Installment”)

and end as described in
the following schedule (but only if the Participant has not had a Termination
of Service before the end of the Restricted Period:

 

	
  INSTALLMENT

  	
   

  	
  RESTRICTED PERIOD WILL END ON:

  
	
  [100]% of RSUs

  	
   

  	
  [3rd] anniversary of Grant Date

  

 

(b)                                 Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of this Section 3, the Restricted Period for the
RSUs shall cease immediately, and the RSUs shall become immediately and fully
vested, upon: (i) the date of a
Termination of Service prior to the date the RSUs would otherwise become
vested, if the Termination of Service occurs by reason of the Participant’s
death or Retirement; (ii) the date the Participant is determined to be
Disabled; or (iii) the date of a Change in Control.

 

(c)                                  Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of this Section 3, if the Participant has attained age 62 at the time of his or her
Termination of Service (other than for Retirement), but has not yet attained
age 65, the Participant’s RSUs shall vest pro rata on a per diem basis by
dividing the number of days employed following the Grant Date by 1095.

 

(d)                                 In
the event the Participant’s Termination of Service, other than as provided in
subsection (b) or (c) above, occurs prior to the expiration of one or
more Restricted Periods, the Participant shall forfeit all rights, title and
interest in and to any Installment(s) of RSUs still subject to a
Restricted Period as of the Participant’s Termination of Service date.

 

Section 4.                                          Settlement
of Units.  Delivery of Stock or other
amounts under this Award Agreement and the Plan shall be subject to the
following:

 

(a)                                  Delivery of Stock.  Within
sixty (60) days following the end of a Restricted Period or upon immediate
vesting as described in Section 3, the Company shall deliver to the
Participant one share of the Company’s Stock free and clear of any restrictions
in settlement of each of the unrestricted units.

 

(b)                                 Compliance with Applicable Laws.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Award Agreement or the Plan, the Company shall have no obligation to deliver
any Stock or make any other distribution of benefits under this Award Agreement
or the Plan unless such delivery or distribution complies with all applicable
laws (including, the requirements of the Securities Act), and the applicable
requirements of any securities exchange or similar entity.

 

(c)                                  Certificates.  To the

to withholding of all applicable taxes. 
The Company shall have the right to require the Participant (or if
applicable, permitted assigns, heirs or Designated Beneficiaries) to remit to
the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy any tax requirements prior to the
delivery date of any certificate or certificates for Stock (or cash or other
property) under the Award Agreement.  At the election of the Participant,
subject to the rules and limitations as may be established by the Company,
such withholding obligations may be satisfied through the surrender of shares
of Stock which the Participant already owns, or to which Participant is
otherwise entitled.

 

(b)                                 Non-Transferability of RSUs and Stock.  During the Restricted Period, the Participant

dispose of any RSUs awarded pursuant to this Award Agreement.

 

(c)                                  Dividends.  The

than dividends or distributions of securities of the Company which may be
issued with respect to its shares by virtue of any stock split, combination,
stock dividend or recapitalization — to the extent covered in Section 3.3
of the Plan) that become payable during the Restricted Period (“Dividend Equivalents”); provided, however, that no

Dividend
Equivalents shall be payable to or for the benefit of the Participant with
respect to record dates for such dividends or distributions occurring prior to
the Grant Date, or with respect to record dates for such dividends or
distributions occurring on or after the date, if any, on which the Participant
has forfeited the RSUs.

 

(d)                                 Voting Rights.  The

Award Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the Company
and its successors and assigns, and upon any person acquiring, whether by
merger, consolidation, purchase of assets or otherwise, all or substantially
all of the Company’s assets and business. 
If any rights of the Participant or benefits distributable to the Participant
under this Award Agreement have not been settled or distributed, respectively,
at the time of the Participant’s death, such rights shall be settled and

to the Designated Beneficiary, in accordance with the provisions of, this Award
Agreement and the Plan.  The “Designated Beneficiary” shall be the beneficiary or
beneficiaries designated by the Participant in a writing filed with the Committee
in such form as the Committee may require. 
The designation of beneficiary form may be amended or revoked from time
to time by the Participant.  If a
deceased Participant fails to designate a beneficiary, or if the Designated
Beneficiary does not survive the Participant, any rights that would have been
payable to the Participant and shall be payable to the legal representative of
the estate of the Participant.  If a
deceased Participant designates a beneficiary and the Designated Beneficiary
survives the Participant but dies before the settlement of Designated
Beneficiary’s rights under this Award Agreement, then any rights that would
have been payable to the Designated Beneficiary shall be payable to the legal
representative of the estate of the Designated Beneficiary.

 

(f)                                    Administration.  The
authority to manage and control the operation and administration of this Award
Agreement and the Plan shall be vested in the Committee, and the Committee
shall have all powers with respect to this Award Agreement as it has with
respect to the Plan. Any interpretation of this Award Agreement or the Plan by

be obtained by the Participant from the office of the Secretary of the Company;
and this Award Agreement are subject to all interpretations, amendments, rules and
regulations promulgated by the Committee from time to time pursuant to the
Plan.  Notwithstanding anything in this
Award Agreement to the contrary, in the event of any discrepancies between the
corporate records and this Award Agreement, the corporate records shall
control.

(h)                                 Interpretation.  The Award Agreement is subject to
all interpretations, amendments, rules and regulations promulgated by the
Company from time to time.  Any
interpretation of the Award Agreement by the Company and any decision made by
it with respect to the Award Agreement are final and binding on all
persons.  Notwithstanding anything in the
Award Agreement to the contrary, in the event of any discrepancies between the

(i)                                     Not an Employment Contract. 
The Award will not confer on the Participant any right with respect
to continuance of employment or other service with the Company or any
Subsidiary, nor will it interfere in any way with any right the Company or any
Subsidiary would otherwise have to terminate or modify the terms of such Participant’s
employment or other service at any time.

 

(j)                                     Amendment. 
This Award Agreement may be amended in accordance with the provisions of
the Plan, and may otherwise be amended by written agreement of the Participant
and the Company without the consent of any other person.

principles of conflict of laws, except as superseded by applicable federal law.

 

(l)                                     Validity. 
If any provision of the Award Agreement is determined to be illegal or
invalid for any reason, said illegality or invalidity shall not affect the
remaining parts hereof, but the Award Agreement shall be construed and enforced

(m)                               Section 409A.  It

exempt from Code Section 409A and, with respect to amounts that are
subject to Code Section 409A, shall in all respects be administered in
accordance with Code Section 409A, and this Agreement, the Plan (insofar
as it is incorporated by reference into this Agreement) and the terms and
conditions of all Restricted Stock Units shall be interpreted accordingly.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to
the contrary, and only to the extent required by Code Section 409A, any
amount payable to the Participant hereunder on account of his “separation from
service” that constitutes deferred compensation shall be delayed and paid to
the Participant on the first business day after the date that is six months
following the Participant’s “separation from service.”

 

(n)                                 Section 409A Amendment.  The Committee
reserves the right (including the right to delegate such right) to unilaterally
amend this Award Agreement without the consent of the Participant in order to

Code Section 409A.  Any such
amendment shall maintain, to the extent practicable, the original intent of the
applicable provision.  Participant’s
acceptance of this Award Agreement constitutes acknowledgement and consent to
such rights of the Company.

OLD SECOND BANCORP, INC.

 

2008 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

 

INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION

 

The Participant specified below has been granted this
Option by Old Second Bancorp, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) under the terms of the Old Second
Bancorp, Inc., Inc. 2008 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).  The Option shall be subject
to the following terms and conditions (the “Option
Terms”):

 

Section 1.                                         Terms of Award.  The following words and
phrases relating to the grant of the Option shall have the following meanings:

 

(a)                                 The
“Participant” is                                            .

 

(b)                                The
“Grant Date” is                                            .

 

(c)                                 The
number of “Covered Shares” is                     
shares of Stock.

 

(d)                                The
“Exercise Price” is $                        per
share.

 

Except where the context clearly implies to the
contrary, any capitalized term in this award shall have the meaning ascribed to
that term under the Plan.

 

Section 2.                                         Incentive Stock Option.  The Option is intended to
constitute an “incentive stock option” as that term is used in Code
Section 422.  To the extent that the
aggregate fair market value (determined at the time of grant) of shares of
Stock with respect to which incentive stock options are exercisable for the
first time by the Participant during any calendar year under all plans of the
Company and its Subsidiaries exceeds $100,000, the options or portions thereof
which exceed such limit (according to the order in which they were granted)
shall be treated as nonstatutory stock options. 
It should be understood that there is no assurance that the Option will,
in fact, be treated as an incentive stock option.

 

Section 3.                                         Vesting.  Subject to the limitations of the
Option Terms, each installment of Covered Shares of the Option (“Installment”) shall become vested and
exercisable on and after the “Vesting Date”
for such Installment as described in the following schedule (but only if a
Termination of Service has not occurred before the Vesting Date):

 

	
  INSTALLMENT

  	
   

  	
  VESTING DATE

  APPLICABLE TO INSTALLMENT

  	
   

  
	
  1/3 of Covered Shares

  	
   

  	
  [date]

  	
   

  
	
  1/3 of Covered Shares

  	
   

  	
  [date]

  	
   

  
	
  1/3 of Covered Shares

  	
   

  	
  [date]

  	
   

  

 

 

(a)                                 Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of this Section 3, the Option shall become
fully and immediately vested upon a Change in Control that occurs on or before
the Participant’s Termination of Service or upon a Participant’s Termination of
Service due to Retirement, Disability or death.

 

(b)                                The
Option, once vested, may be exercised in whole or in part (but not as to less
than 25 Covered Shares at any one time, unless fewer than 25 Covered Shares
then remain and the Option is being exercised as to all such remaining Covered
Shares).

 

(c)                                 The
Option may only be exercised on or after the Termination of Service only as to
that portion of the Covered Shares for which it was exercisable immediately
prior to the Termination of Service, or became exercisable on the Termination
of Service.

 

Section 4.                                         Expiration.  The Option shall not be exercisable after the Company’s
close of business on the last business day that occurs prior to the Expiration
Date.  The “Expiration Date” shall be the
earliest to occur of:

 

(a)                                 the
ten-year anniversary of the Grant Date;

 

(b)                                the
one-year anniversary of the Termination of Service if the termination of
employment or service occurs due to death or Disability;

 

(c)                                 the
three-year anniversary of the Termination of Service if the termination of
employment or service occurs due to Retirement; provided,
however, that, if the Participant’s employment is terminated as a
result of Retirement and the Option is not exercised on or before the
three-month anniversary of the date upon which the Termination of Service
occurs, the Option shall no longer be eligible for treatment as an incentive stock
option;

 

(d)                                the
three-month anniversary of the Termination of Service if the termination of
employment or service occurs for reasons other than death, Disability or
Retirement; or

 

(e)                                 the
date on which the Participant engages in conduct which constitutes Cause.

 

Section 5.                                         Termination
Followed by Death.  In the event
that the Participant’s employment or service terminates by reason of Disability
or Retirement, and within the exercise period following such termination the
Employee dies, then the remaining exercise period under outstanding Options
shall equal the longer of: (i) one (1) year following death; or
(ii) the remaining portion of the exercise period which was triggered by
the employment or service termination; provided, however, that
the exercise period may not extend beyond the expiration date of the
Options.  Such Options shall be
exercisable by such person or persons who shall have been named as the
Participant’s beneficiary, or by such persons who have acquired the
Participant’s rights under the Option by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution.

Section 6.                                         Method
of Option Exercise.

 

(a)                                 Method of Exercise. 
Subject to the Option Terms and the Plan, the Option may be exercised in
whole or in part by filing an exercise notice with the Vice President of Human
Resources of the Company at its corporate headquarters prior to the Company’s
close of business on the last business day that occurs prior to the Expiration
Date.  The notice requirement may only be satisfied by the method
prescribed by the Committee; provided, however,
the Committee shall retain the right to limit or expand the method of exercise
to any one or more methods with respect to any individual Participant or group
or class of Participants.  Such notice
shall specify the number of Covered Shares which the Participant elects to
purchase, and shall be accompanied by payment of the Exercise Price for such
Covered Shares indicated by the Participant’s election.

 

(b)                                Payment of Exercise Price. 
Payment may be by cash or, subject to limitations imposed by applicable
law, by such means as the Committee from time to time may permit, including,
(i) by tendering, either actually or by attestation, Stock acceptable to
the Committee, valued at Fair Market Value on the date of exercise (which may
include shares acquired hereunder); (ii) by irrevocably authorizing a
third party, acceptable to the Committee, to sell Stock (or a sufficient
portion of the shares) acquired upon exercise of the Option and to remit to the
Company a sufficient portion of the sale proceeds to pay the entire Exercise
Price; (iii) by personal, certified or cashiers’ check; (iv) by other
property deemed acceptable by the Committee; or (v) any combination of the
above.  If payment is made pursuant to
clauses (i) or (ii) above, the Participant’s election must be made on
or prior to the date of exercise of the Option and must be irrevocable.  The Option shall not be exercisable if and to
the extent the Company determines that such exercise would violate applicable
state or federal securities laws or the rules and regulations of any
securities exchange on which the Stock is traded and shall not be exercisable
during any blackout period established by the Company from time to time.

 

Section 7.                                         Delivery
of Shares.  Delivery of Stock or
other amounts under this Award Agreement and the Plan shall be subject to the
following:

 

(a)                                 Compliance with Applicable Laws.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Award Agreement or the Plan, the Company shall have no obligation to deliver
any Stock or make any other distribution of benefits under this Award Agreement
or the Plan unless such delivery or distribution complies with all applicable
laws (including, the requirements of the Securities Act), and the applicable
requirements of any securities exchange or similar entity.

 

(b)                                Certificates.  To the
extent that this Award Agreement and the Plan provide for the issuance of
Stock, the issuance may be effected on a non-certificated basis, to the extent
not prohibited by applicable law or the applicable rules of any stock
exchange.

 

Section 8.                                         Withholding.  The exercise of the Option is subject to withholding
of all applicable taxes.  At the election of the Participant, and subject
to such rules and limitations as may be established by the Committee from
time to time, such withholding obligations may be satisfied (i) through

sentence, the Option may not be assigned, transferred (except as aforesaid),
pledged or hypothecated by the Participant in any way whether by operation of

Section 10.                                  Definitions.  For purposes of the Option Terms, words and phrases
shall be defined as follows:

 

(a)                                 “Cause” means in the case of a Participant
with a then-current written Compensation and Benefit Assurance Agreement (“Change in Control Agreement”), the

(i) willful misconduct on the part of a Participant that is materially

acquiring, whether by
merger, consolidation, purchase of assets or otherwise, all or substantially
all of the Company’s assets and business. 
If any rights of the Participant or benefits distributable to the
Participant under this Agreement have not been exercised or distributed,
respectively, at the time of the Participant’s death, such rights shall be
exercisable by the Designated Beneficiary, and such benefits shall be
distributed to the Designated Beneficiary, in accordance with the provisions of
this Agreement and the Plan.  The “Designated Beneficiary” shall be the
beneficiary or beneficiaries designated by the Participant in a writing filed
with the Committee in such form and at such time as the Committee shall
require.  If a deceased Participant fails
to designate a beneficiary, or if the Designated Beneficiary does not survive
the Participant, any rights that would have been exercisable by the Participant
and any benefits distributable to the Participant shall be exercised by or
distributed to the legal representative of the estate of the Participant.  If a deceased Participant designates a
beneficiary and the Designated Beneficiary survives the Participant but dies
before the Designated Beneficiary’s exercise of all rights under this Agreement
or before the complete distribution of benefits to the Designated Beneficiary
under this Agreement, then any rights that would have been exercisable by the Designated
Beneficiary shall be exercised by the legal representative of the estate of the
Designated Beneficiary, and any benefits distributable to the Designated
Beneficiary shall be distributed to the legal representative of the estate of
the Designated Beneficiary.

 

Section 12.                                  Administration.  The authority to manage
and control the operation and administration of the Option Terms and the Plan
shall be vested in the Committee, and the Committee shall have all powers with
respect to the Option Terms as it has with respect to the Plan. Any
interpretation of the Option Terms or the Plan by the Committee and any
decision made by it with respect to the Option Terms or the Plan is final and
binding on all persons.

 

Section 13.                                  Plan Governs.  Notwithstanding
anything in the Option Terms to the contrary, the Option Terms shall be subject
to the terms of the Plan, a copy of which may be obtained by the Participant
from the office of the Secretary of the Company; and the Option Terms are
subject to all interpretations, amendments, rules and regulations
promulgated by the Committee from time to time pursuant to the Plan.

 

Section 14.                                  Interpretation.  The Option Terms are subject to all
interpretations, amendments, rules and regulations promulgated by the
Company from time to time.  Any
interpretation of the Option Terms by the Company and any decision made by it
with respect to the Option Terms are final and binding on all persons.  Notwithstanding anything in the Option Terms
to the contrary, in the event of any discrepancies between the corporate
records and the Option Terms, the corporate records shall control.

 

Section 15.                                  Not An Employment Contract.  The
Option will not confer on the Participant any right with respect to continuance
of employment or other service with the Company or any Related Corporation, nor
will it interfere in any way with any right the Company or any Related
Corporation would otherwise have to terminate or modify the terms of such
Participant’s employment or other service at any time.

provisions of the Plan, and may otherwise be amended by written agreement of
the Participant and the Company without the consent of any other person.

 

Section 18.                                  Section 409A
Amendment.  The Committee
reserves the right (including the right to delegate such right) to unilaterally
amend this Award Agreement without the consent of the Participant in order to
maintain an exclusion from the application of, or to maintain compliance with,
Code Section 409A.  Participant’s
acceptance of this Option award constitutes acknowledgement and consent to such
rights of the Committee.
