ITEM 1.       BUSINESS

FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

      This Annual Report and other reports issued by TCF Financial Corporation (“TCF” or the “Company”), including reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, may contain “forward-looking” statements that deal with future results, plans or performance.  In addition, TCF’s management may make such statements orally to the media, or to securities analysts, investors or others.  Forward-looking statements deal with matters that do not relate strictly to historical facts.  TCF’s future results may differ materially from historical performance and forward-looking statements about TCF’s expected financial results or other plans are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties.  These include but are not limited to possible legislative changes and adverse economic, business and competitive developments such as shrinking interest margins; deposit outflows; reduced demand for financial services and loan and lease products; changes in accounting policies and guidelines, or monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government; changes in credit and other risks posed by TCF’s loan, lease and investment portfolios; technological, computer-related or operational difficulties; adverse changes in securities markets; results of litigation or other significant uncertainties.

GENERAL

          TCF, a Delaware corporation based in Wayzata, Minnesota, with $11.2 billion in assets, is the holding company of two national banks, TCF National Bank operating in Minnesota, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and Indiana and TCF National Bank Colorado operating in Colorado.  Unless otherwise indicated, references herein to TCF include its direct and indirect subsidiaries.  TCF’s subsidiary banks are collectively referred to herein as the "TCF Banks." References herein to the “Holding Company” or "TCF Financial" refer to TCF Financial Corporation on an unconsolidated basis.  Where information is incorporated in this report by reference to TCF's 2000 Annual Report, only those portions specifically identified are so incorporated.

          TCF’s products include commercial, consumer and residential mortgage loan and deposit products, leasing and equipment finance, insurance and mutual funds.  Some of its products, such as its commercial equipment and truck loans and leases, are offered in markets outside areas served by the TCF Banks.  TCF’s leasing operations have expanded significantly in recent periods.  TCF’s primary focus, however, has been on the delivery of retail banking products in markets served by the TCF Banks.  TCF's strategic emphasis on retail banking has allowed it to fund its assets primarily with retail core deposits, minimize wholesale borrowings and lower its interest-rate risk.  See “Corporate Profile” on page 21 of TCF’s 2000 Annual Report, incorporated herein by reference, for additional information concerning TCF’s business and strategies.

          TCF has significantly expanded its retail banking franchise in recent periods and had 352 retail banking branches at December 31, 2000.  In the past three years, TCF opened 164 new branches, of which 154 were supermarket branches. This expansion includes TCF's January 1998 acquisition of 76 branches and 178 automated teller machines ("ATMs") in Jewel-Osco stores in the Chicago, Illinois area.  TCF anticipates opening between 30 and 40 new branches during 2001.

          TCF's marketing strategy emphasizes attracting deposits held in checking, passbook and statement savings, and money market and certificate of deposit accounts.  TCF also engages in commercial, residential and consumer lending activities, leasing and equipment financing and in the insurance services business, including the sale of single premium tax-deferred annuities.  TCF also has a broker dealer selling non-proprietary mutual funds.

          Non-interest income is a significant source of revenues for TCF and an important factor in TCF's results of operations.  Providing a wide range of retail banking services is an integral component of TCF's business philosophy and a major strategy for generating additional non-interest income. See “Results of Operations – Non-Interest Income” on pages 25 through 27, and "Forward-Looking Information" and "Legislative, Legal and Regulatory Developments" on page 37 of TCF's 2000 Annual Report, incorporated herein by reference, for additional information.

                    At December 31, 2000, TCF operated 84 bank branches in Minnesota, 168 in Illinois, 32 in Wisconsin, 56 in Michigan and 12 in Colorado.  TCF strives to develop innovative banking products and services.  Of TCF's 352 bank branches, 213 were supermarket bank branches at December 31, 2000.  These supermarket bank branches provide TCF with the opportunity to sell its consumer products and services, including deposits and loans, at a relatively low entry cost and feature extended hours, including Saturdays and Sundays.  TCF's "Totally Free" SM checking accounts and other deposit products provide it with a significant source of low-interest cost funds and fee income.  During 2000, TCF introduced TCFExpress.com, its online banking service for customers.  TCF has expanded its ATM network to 1,384 machines at December 31, 2000, generally located in areas served by the TCF Banks, and offers its customers an automated telephone banking system.

          Federal legislation imposes numerous legal and regulatory requirements on financial institutions.  Among the most significant of these requirements are minimum regulatory capital levels and enforcement actions that can be taken by regulators when an institution's regulatory capital is deemed to be inadequate.  TCF and each of the TCF Banks currently exceed all of their current minimum regulatory capital requirements and are considered “well-capitalized” under guidelines established by the Federal Reserve Board (“FRB”) and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”) pursuant to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991.  See "REGULATION."

          As federally chartered national banks, the TCF Banks are subject to regulation and examination by the OCC and, in certain cases, by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC").  The TCF Banks' deposits are insured to $100,000 by the FDIC, and as such these institutions are subject to regulations promulgated by the FDIC.  The TCF Banks are members of the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") of Des Moines and Topeka, and are also member banks within their respective Federal Reserve districts.  TCF Financial is a financial holding company and is subject to regulation and examination by the FRB.  See “SOURCES OF FUNDS – Borrowings” and "REGULATION — Regulation of TCF Financial and Affiliate and Insider Transactions."

The following description includes detailed information regarding the business of TCF and its subsidiaries.

LENDING ACTIVITIES

General

          TCF's lending activities reflect its community banking philosophy, emphasizing loans to individuals and small to medium-sized businesses in its primary market areas in Minnesota, Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan and Colorado.   TCF is also engaged in leasing and equipment financing and has expanded its consumer lending operations in recent years.

          See "Financial Review — Financial Condition - Loans and Leases" on pages 28 through 30, Note 6 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements on pages 47 and 48 and "Other Financial Data" on pages 67 through 71 of TCF's 2000 Annual Report, incorporated herein by reference, for additional information regarding TCF's loan and lease portfolios.

Residential Real Estate Lending

          TCF's residential mortgage loan originations (first mortgage loans for the financing of one- to four-family homes) are predominantly secured by properties in Minnesota, Illinois, Wisconsin and Michigan.  TCF engages in both adjustable-rate and fixed-rate residential real estate lending.  Adjustable-rate residential real estate loans held in TCF's portfolio totaled $2.1 billion at December 31, 2000, compared with $2.2 billion at December 31, 1999.  Loan originations by TCF Mortgage Corporation ("TCF Mortgage"), a wholly owned subsidiary, include loans purchased from loan correspondents.

          TCF sells certain re sidential real estate loans in the secondary market, primarily on a nonrecourse basis.  TCF retains servicing rights for the majority of the loans it sells into the secondary market.  These sales provide additional funds for loan originations and also generate fee income.  TCF may also from time to time purchase or sell servicing rights on residential real estate loans.   At December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, TCF serviced residential real estate loans  for others totaling $4 billion, $2.9 billion and $3.7 billion, respectively.  During 2000, TCF purchased the bulk servicing rights on $933 million of residential mortgage loans at a cost of $13.8 million.  During 1999 and 1998, TCF sold bulk servicing rights on $344.6 million and $200.4 million of loans serviced for others at net gains of  $3.1 million and $2.4 million, respectively.  No bulk servicing sales occurred in 2000.

          Adjustable-rate residential real estate loans originated by TCF have various adjustment periods and generally provide for limitations on the amount the rate may adjust on each adjustment date, as well as the total amount of adjustments over the lives of the loans.  Accordingly, while this portfolio of loans is rate sensitive, it may not be as rate sensitive as TCF's cost of funds.  In addition to such interest-rate risk, TCF faces credit risks resulting from potential increased costs to borrowers as a result of rate adjustments on adjustable-rate loans in its portfolio, which will depend upon the magnitude and frequency of shifts in market interest rates.  Some adjustable-rate residential real estate loans originated by TCF in prior periods did not provide for limitations on rate adjustments.  Credit risk may also result from declines in the values of underlying real estate collateral.  See "— Classified Assets, Loan and Lease Delinquencies and Defaults."

          TCF Mortgage and the TCF Banks generally adhere to Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA"), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC"), Veterans Administration ("VA") or Federal Housing Administration ("FHA") guidelines in originating residential real estate loans.  TCF generally requires that all conventional first mortgage real estate loans with loan-to-value ratios in excess of 80% carry private mortgage insurance.

Consumer Lending

          TCF makes consumer loans for personal, family or household purposes, such as debt consolidation or the financing of home improvements, automobiles, vacations and education.  Consumer loans totaled $2.2 billion at December 31, 2000, with $1.2 billion, or 54%, having fixed interest rates and $1 billion, or 46%, having adjustable interest rates.

          The consumer lending activities of the TCF Banks include a full range of consumer-oriented products including real estate secured loans, loans secured by personal property and unsecured personal loans.  Each of these loan types can be made on an open- or closed-end basis.  Consumer loan borrowers generally have higher debt-to-income ratios, and therefore consumer loans have a higher risk of loss than residential loans.  Unlike conventional first mortgage loans, consumer home equity loans tend to have a higher loan-to-value ratio and do not carry private mortgage insurance.  Consumer loans having adjustable interest rates also present a credit risk similar to that posed by residential real estate loans as a result of increased costs to borrowers in the event of a rise in rates (see discussion above under  “— Residential Real Estate Lending”). Consumer loans secured by real estate may present additional credit risk in the event of a decline in the value of real estate collateral.

          In response to intensifying price competition, in early 1999 TCF implemented a tiered pricing structure for its home equity loans. As a result of the new programs, TCF experienced an increase in the loan-to-value ratios on new home equity loans. Many of these loans are secured by a first lien on the home and include an advance to pay off an existing first lien mortgage loan.  These loans may have balances exceeding $100,000.  These loans may carry a higher level of credit risk than loans with a lower loan-to-value ratio.  Higher loan-to-value ratio loans are made to more creditworthy customers based on credit scoring models.  In December 1998, TCF began a restructuring of its consumer finance company operations, including the discontinuation of indirect automobile lending.  Most of its consumer finance offices were ultimately closed. For additional information on consumer lending, see "Financial Review — Financial Condition - Loans and Leases" on pages 28 through 30 of TCF's 2000 Annual Report, incorporated herein by reference.

          TCF originates education loans for resale.  TCF had $153.2 million of education loans held for sale at December 31, 2000, compared with $143.9 million at December 31, 1999.  TCF generally retains the education loans it originates until they are fully disbursed.  Under a forward commitment agreement with the Student Loan Marketing Association ("SLMA"), TCF can sell the education loans to SLMA once they are fully disbursed, but must sell the education loans to SLMA before they go into repayment status.  These loans are originated in accordance with designated guarantor and U.S. Department of Education guidelines and do not involve any independent credit underwriting by TCF.  TCF's future education loan origination activity will be dependent on continued support of guaranteed student loan programs by the U.S. Government and TCF's ability to continue to sell such loans to SLMA or other parties.  Federal legislation has limited the role of private lenders in originating education loans and has reduced the profitability of this activity, and such legislation may reduce the volume of TCF's education loan originations in future periods.

Commercial Real Estate Lending

          TCF currently originates longer-term loans on commercial real estate and, to a lesser extent, shorter-term construction loans.  TCF is endeavoring to increase its originations of commercial real estate loans to creditworthy borrowers based in its primary markets.  TCF may also engage in commercial real estate loan brokerage activity.  At December 31, 2000, adjustable-rate loans represented 80% of commercial real estate loans outstanding.  See "Financial Review — Financial Condition - Loans and Leases" on pages 28 through 30 of TCF's 2000 Annual Report, incorporated herein by reference, for additional information regarding the types of properties securing TCF's commercial real estate loans.

          At December 31, 2000, TCF's commercial construction and development loan portfolio totaled $178.4 million. Construction and permanent commercial real estate lending is generally considered to involve a higher level of risk than single-family residential lending due to the concentration of principal in a limited number of loans and borrowers.  In addition, the nature of these loans is such that they are generally less predictable and more difficult to evaluate and monitor.

Commercial Business Lending

          TCF engages in general commercial business lending.  Commercial business loans may be secured by various types of business assets, including commercial real estate, and in some cases may be made on an unsecured basis. TCF is seeking to expand its commercial business lending activity and in particular its lending to small and medium-sized businesses.  TCF's commercial business lending activities encompass loans with a broad variety of purposes, including working capital loans and loans to finance the purchase of equipment or other acquisitions.  As part of its commercial business and commercial real estate lending activities, TCF also issues standby letters of credit.  At December 31, 2000, TCF had 101 such standby letters of credit outstanding in the aggregate amount of $28.8 million.

          Recognizing the generally increased risks associated with commercial business lending, TCF originates commercial business loans in order to increase its short-term, variable-rate asset base and to contribute to its profitability through the higher rates earned on these loans and the marketing of other bank products.  TCF concentrates on originating commercial business loans primarily to middle-market companies based in its primary markets with borrowing requirements of less than $15 million.  Substantially all of TCF's commercial business loans outstanding at December 31, 2000 were to borrowers based in its primary markets.

Leasing and Equipment Finance

          TCF provides a broad range of comprehensive lease and equipment finance products addressing the financing needs of diverse companies including large franchise organizations or their franchisees, small businesses, truck and trailer owners and operators and other equipment lessees.  At December 31, 2000, TCF’s leasing and equipment finance portfolio totaled $856.5 million, including $207.1 million of loans classified as equipment finance loans.  TCF entered the leasing business in June 1997 with the purchase of Winthrop Resources Corporation (“Winthrop”), a financial services company that leases computers, telecommunications equipment, point-of-sale systems and other business-essential equipment to companies nationwide.  In  September 1999, TCF expanded its leasing operations with the launch of TCF Leasing, Inc. (“TCF Leasing”), a de novo general equipment leasing business with a focus on middle-market companies, truck and trailer leasing and financing and lease discounting.

          TCF internally funds most of its leases, and consequently retains the credit risk on such leases.  TCF also may arrange permanent financing of certain leases through non-recourse discounting of le ase rentals with various other financial institutions at fixed interest rates.  At December 31, 2000, $165.8 million or 25.4% of TCF’s lease portfolio was funded on a non-recourse basis with other financial institutions, compared with $178.4 million or 38.9% at December 31, 1999.  Proceeds from the assignment of the lease rentals are equal to the present value of the remaining lease payments due under the lease, discounted at the interest rate charged by the other financial institutions.  Interest rates for this type of financing are negotiated on a transaction-by-transaction basis and reflect the financial strength of the lease customer, the terms of the lease and the prevailing interest rates.  For a lease discounted on a non-recourse basis, the other financial institution has no recourse against TCF unless TCF is in default under the terms of the agreement under which the lease and the leased equipment are assigned to the other financial institution as collateral.  The other financial institution may, however, take title to the collateral in the event the customer fails to make lease payments or certain other defaults by the lease customer occur under the terms of the lease.

Classified Assets, Loan and Lease Delinquencies and Defaults

          TCF has established a classification system for individual commercial loans or other assets based on OCC regulations under which all or part of a loan or other asset may be classified as "substandard," "doubtful," "loss" or "special mention."  It has also established overall ratings for various credit portfolios.  A loan or other asset is placed in the substandard category when it is considered to have a well-defined weakness.  A loan or other asset is placed in the doubtful category when some loss is likely but there is still sufficient uncertainty to permit the asset to remain on the books at its full value.  All or a portion of a loan or other asset is classified as loss when it is considered uncollectible, in which case it is generally charged off.  In some cases, loans or other assets for which some possible exposure to credit loss is perceived are classified as special mention.  Loans and other assets that are classified are subject to periodic review of their appropriate regulatory classifications.

          The following table summarizes information about  TCF’s non-accrual, restructured and past due loans and leases:

  At December 31,
  2000
1999

          The allowance for loan and lease losses is based upon management's periodic analysis of TCF's loan and lease portfolios.  Although appropriate levels of reserves have been estimated based upon factors and trends identified by management, there can be no assurance that the levels are adequate.  Economic stagnation or reversals in the economy could give rise to increasing risk of credit losses and necessitate an increase in the required level of reserves.  The expansion of the Company's consumer lending and other lending and leasing operations creates increased exposure to increases in delinquencies, repossessions, foreclosures and losses that generally occur during economic downturns or recessions, or that may result from decreased profits affecting particular industry segments, such as increases in fuel costs that have had an adverse impact on the trucking industry.

          Adverse economic developments are also likely to adversely affect commercial lending operations and increase the risk of loan defaults and credit losses on such loans.  Carrying values of foreclosed commercial real estate properties are generally based on appraisals prepared by certified or licensed appraisers.  TCF reviews each external commercial real estate appraisal it receives for accuracy, completeness and reasonableness of assumptions used. Weaknesses in real estate markets may result in declines in property values and the sale of properties at less than previously estimated values, resulting in additional charge-offs.  TCF recognizes the effect of such events in the periods in which they occur.

          Additional information concerning TCF's allowance for loan and lease losses is set forth in "Financial Review — Financial Condition - Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses" on pages 30 and 31, in Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements on pages 43 through  45 and in Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements on page 48 of TCF's 2000 Annual Report, incorporated herein by reference.

INVESTMENT ACTIVITIES

          The TCF Banks have authority to invest in various types of liquid assets, including United States Treasury obligations and securities of various federal agencies, deposits of insured banks, bankers' acceptances and federal funds, and must meet minimum liquidity requirements prescribed by law.  Liquidity may increase or decrease depending upon the availability of funds and comparative yields on investments in relation to the return on loans and leases.  The TCF Banks must also meet reserve requirements of the FRB, which are imposed based on amounts on deposit in various types of deposit categories.

          Information regarding the carrying values and fair values of TCF's investments and securities available for sale is set forth in Notes 3 and 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements on pages 45 and 46 of TCF's 2000 Annual Report, incorporated herein by reference.  Additional information regarding investments and securities available for sale is set forth in "Other Financial Data" on pages 67 through 71 of TCF's 2000 Annual Report, incorporated herein by reference.

SOURCES OF FUNDS

Deposits

          Deposits are the primary source of TCF's funds for use in lending and for other general business purposes. Deposit inflows and outflows are significantly influenced by economic and competitive conditions, interest rates, money market conditions and other factors.  Higher-cost borrowings may be used to compensate for reductions in normal sources of funds, such as deposit inflows at less than projected levels or net deposit outflows, or to support expanded activities.

          Consumer and commercial deposits are attracted principally from within TCF's primary market areas through the offering of a broad selection of deposit instruments including consumer and commercial demand deposit accounts, interest-bearing checking accounts, money market accounts, regular savings accounts, certificates of deposit and retirement savings plans.

          The composition of TCF's deposits has a significant impact on its cost of funds.  TCF's marketing strategy emphasizes attracting core deposits held in checking, regular savings, money market and certificate of deposit accounts.  These accounts provide significant fee income and are a source of low-interest cost funds.  Checking, savings and money market  accounts comprised 59% of total deposits at December 31, 2000.  There were approximately 1.7 million retail checking, savings and money market accounts at December 31, 2000, compared with approximately 1.6 million and 1.4 million such accounts at December 31, 1999 and 1998 respectively.

          Information concerning TCF's deposits is set forth in "Financial Review — Financial Condition - Deposits" on page 34 and in Note 9 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements on page 50 of TCF's 2000 Annual Report, incorporated herein by reference.

Borrowings

          The FHLB System functions as a central reserve bank providing credit for financial institutions through a regional bank located within a particular financial institution's assigned region.  The TCF Banks are members of the FHLB System, are required to own a minimum level of FHLB capital stock and are authorized to apply for advances on the security of such stock and certain of their loans and other assets (principally securities which are obligations of, or guaranteed by, the United States Government), provided certain standards related to creditworthiness have been met.  TCF's FHLB advances totaled $1.9 billion at December 31, 2000, up $131.3 million from the balance at December 31, 1999.  FHLB advances are made pursuant to several different credit programs.  Each credit program has its own interest rates and range of maturities.  The FHLB prescribes the acceptable uses to which the advances pursuant to each program may be made as well as limitations on the size of advances.  Acceptable uses prescribed by the FHLB have included expansion of residential mortgage lending and meeting short-term liquidity needs.  In addition to the program limitations, the amounts of advances for which an institution  may be eligible are generally based on the FHLB's assessment of the institution's creditworthiness.

          As an additional source of funds, TCF may sell securities subject to its obligation to repurchase these securities under repurchase agreements ("reverse repurchase agreements") with FHLMC or major investment bankers utilizing government securities or mortgage-backed securities as collateral.   Reverse repurchase agreements totaled  $994.3 million  at December 31, 2000, compared  with $1 billion  at December 31, 1999.  Generally, securities with a value in excess of  the amount  borrowed are required  to be deposited as collateral with the counterparty to a reverse repurchase agreement.  The creditworthiness of the counterparty is important in establishing that the overcollateralized amount of securities delivered by TCF is protected and TCF enters into reverse repurchase agreements only with institutions with a satisfactory credit history.

          The use of reverse repurchase agreements may expose TCF to certain risks not associated with other sources of funds, including possible requirements to provide additional collateral and the possibility that such agreements may not be renewed.  If for some reason TCF were no longer able to obtain reverse repurchase agreement financing, it would be necessary for TCF to obtain alternative sources of short-term funds.  Such alternative sources of funds, if available, may be higher-cost substitutes for the reverse repurchase agreement funds.

          Information concerning TCF's FHLB advances, reverse repurchase agreements and other borrowings is set forth in "Financial Review — Financial Condition - Borrowings" on pages 34 and 35 and in Note 10 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements on pages 51 through 53 of TCF's 2000 Annual Report, incorporated herein by reference.

 

OTHER INFORMATION

Activities of Subsidiaries of TCF Financial Corporation

          TCF's business operations include those conducted by direct and indirect subsidiaries of TCF Financial.  During the year ended December 31, 2000 TCF's subsidiaries other than the TCF Banks were principally engaged in the following activities:

          Mortgage Banking - TCF Mortgage originates, purchases, sells and services residential first mortgage loans.

          Leasing - Winthrop and TCF Leasing provide a range of comprehensive lease finance products.  Winthrop leases high-technology and other business-essential equipment to customers ranging from large corporations to small, growing businesses.  TCF Leasing specializes in the leasing and financing of trucks and industrial equipment in key markets in various regions of the United States.

          Insurance and Investment Services - TCF Fina ncial Insurance Agency, Inc., is an insurance agency engaging in the sale of fixed-rate, single premium tax-deferred annuities and life insurance products.  TCF Securities, Inc. engages in the sale of non-proprietary mutual fund products, and in the sale of variable-rate, single premium tax-deferred annuities.

Recent Accounting Developments

          There has been an ongoing review over many years of the accounting principles and practices used by financial institutions.  This review is expected to continue by banking regulators, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("AICPA") and other organizations.  As a result of this process, there have been new accounting pronouncements which have had an impact on TCF.  Further developments may be forthcoming in light of this ongoing review process.  See “Financial Review — Financial Condition - Recent Accounting Developments" on page 37 of TCF's 2000 Annual Report, incorporated herein by reference.

Competition

          TCF competes with a number of larger depository institutions and financial service providers  in its market areas, and experiences significant competition in attracting and retaining deposits and in lending funds.  TCF believes the primary factors in competing for deposits are the ability to offer competitive rates and products, convenient office locations and supporting data processing systems and services.  Direct competition for deposits comes primarily from other commercial banks, investment banks, credit unions and savings institutions.  Additional significant competition for deposits comes from institutions selling money market mutual funds and corporate and government securities. The primary factors in competing for loans are interest rates, loan origination fees and the range of services offered. TCF competes for the origination of loans with commercial banks, mortgage bankers, mortgage brokers, consumer and commercial finance companies, credit unions, insurance companies and savings institutions.  TCF also competes nationwide with other leasing companies in the financing of high-technology, business-essential and other general equipment.  Expanded use of the internet has increased the potential competition affecting TCF and its loan, lease and deposit products.

          As of December 31, 2000, TCF had approximately 7,500 employees, including 2,800 part-time employees.  TCF provides its employees with a comprehensive program of benefits, some of which are on a contributory basis, including comprehensive medical and dental plans, life insurance, accident insurance, short- and long-term disability coverage, a pension plan and a shared contribution stock ownership 401(k) plan.

 

REGULATION

          The banking industry is generally subject to extensive regulatory oversight.  TCF Financial, as a publicly held financial holding company, and the TCF Banks, as national banks with deposits insured by the FDIC, are subject to a number of laws and regulations.  Many of these laws and regulations have undergone significant change in recent years.  These laws and regulations impose restrictions on activities, minimum capital requirements, lending and deposit restrictions and numerous other requirements.  Future changes to these laws and regulations, and other new financial services laws and regulations are likely and cannot be predicted with certainty.

Recent Developments

•             Financial Modernization Act

          On November 12, 1999, the President signed into law the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (the “Act” or the “Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act”).  The Act significantly changes the regulatory structure and oversight of the financial services industry and expands financial affiliation opportunities for bank holding companies.  The Act permits “financial holding companies” to engage in a range of activities that are “financial in nature” or “incidental” thereto, such as banking, insurance, securities activities, and merchant banking.  To qualify to engage in expanded financial activities, a financial holding company must make certain required regulatory filings, and subsidiary depository institutions must be well-capitalized, well-managed and rated “satisfactory” or better under the Community Reinvestment Act.  The Act also permits national banks to engage in certain expanded financial activities through a financial subsidiary, provided the bank and its depository institution affiliates are deemed well-capitalized and well-managed and meet certain other regulatory requirements.

          The Act also reforms the regulatory framework of the financial services industry.  Financial holding companies will be subject to primary supervision by the FRB.  However, unless subsidiary activity adversely impacts the holding company, appropriate federal and state agencies will continue to have significant regulatory authority over the subsidiaries.  The Act preempts state laws restricting the establishment of financial affiliations authorized or permitted under the Act, subject to certain limited exceptions, including an exception that allows state insurance regulators to impose certain requirements on financial institutions, so long as they are not substantially more adverse than those applying to other persons.

          The Act removes the current blanket exemption for banks from the broker-dealer registration requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, amends the Investment Company Act of 1940 with respect to bank common trust fund and mutual fund activities, and amends the Investment Advisors Act of 1940 to require registration of banks that act as investment advisers for mutual funds.

          The Act prohibits financial institutions from sharing non-public financial information on their customers to non- affiliated third parties unless the customer is provided the opportunity to opt-out or the customer consents.  However, the Act allows a financial institution to disclose confidential information pursuant to a joint marketing agreement (after full disclosure to the customer), to perform services on behalf of the institution, to market the institution’s own products, and to protect against fraud.  The federal banking agencies have issued regulations implementing privacy provisions of the Act.

          The provisions of the Act relating to financial holding companies became effective on March 11, 2000.  TCF became a financial holding company in June 2000.

•             Other Developments

           In 1999, TCF sought and obtained regulatory approval to merge the charters of the TCF Banks located in Minnesota, Illinois, Wisconsin and Michigan.  This merger was completed in the second quarter of 2000.  The merger of the bank charters did not significantly change the management approach or operations within these geographic states.

Regulatory Capital Requirements

          TCF Financial and the TCF Banks are subject to regulatory capital requirements of the FRB and the OCC, respectively.  These requirements are described below.  In addition, these regulatory agencies are required by law to take prompt action when institutions do not meet certain other minimum capital standards.  The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA") defines five levels of capital condition, the highest of which is "well-capitalized," and requires that regulatory authorities subject undercapitalized institutions to various restrictions such as limitations on dividends or other capital distributions, limitations on growth or activity restrictions.  Undercapitalized banks must also develop a capital restoration plan and the parent financial holding company is required to guarantee compliance with the plan.  TCF Financial and the TCF Banks believe they would be considered "well-capitalized" under the FDICIA capital standards.

          The FRB's risk-based capital guidelines include among their objectives making regulatory capital  requirements more sensitive to differences in risk profiles of banking organizations, factoring off-balance-sheet exposures into the assessment of capital adequacy and minimizing disincentives to holding liquid, low-risk assets.  Under these guidelines, a financial holding company's assets and certain off-balance-sheet items are assigned to one of four risk categories, each weighted differently in accordance with the perceived level of risk posed by such assets or off-balance-sheet items.

          FRB guidelines also prescribe two "tiers" of capital.  "Tier 1" capital includes common stockholders' equity; qualifying noncumulative perpetual preferred stock (including related surplus); qualifying cumulative perpetual preferred stock (including related surplus), subject to certain limitations; and minority interests in the equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries.  Tier 1 capital excludes goodwill and certain other intangible and other assets. “Supplementary” or "Tier 2" capital consists of the allowance for loan and lease losses, subject to certain limitations; perpetual preferred stock and related surplus, subject to certain conditions; hybrid capital instruments (i.e., those with characteristics of both equity and debt), perpetual debt and mandatory convertible debt securities; and term subordinated debt and intermediate-term preferred stock (including related surplus), subject to certain limitations.  The maximum amount of Tier 2 capital that is allowed to be included in an institution's qualifying total capital is 100% of Tier 1 capital, net of goodwill and other intangible assets required to be deducted.

          TCF Financial is currently required to maintain (i) Tier 1 capital equal to at least four percent of its risk-weighted assets and (ii) total capital (the sum of Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital) equal to eight percent of risk-weighted assets.  The FRB also requires financial holding companies to maintain a minimum Tier 1 "leverage ratio" (measuring Tier 1 capital as a percentage of adjusted total assets) of at least three percent.  Higher leverage ratio requirements (minimum additional capital of 100 to 200 basis points) may be imposed for institutions that do not have the highest regulatory rating or that fail to meet certain other criteria.  At December 31, 2000, TCF believes it met all these requirements.  See Note 13 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements on page 55 of TCF's 2000 Annual Report, incorporated herein by reference.  The FRB has not advised TCF of any specific minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio applicable to it.

          The FRB's guidelines indicate that the FRB expects that financial holding  companies experiencing internal growth or making acquisitions should maintain stronger capital positions, substantially above the minimum supervisory levels, without significant reliance on intangible assets.  In addition, the guidelines provide that the FRB will use Tier 1 leverage guidelines in its inspection and supervisory process and as part of its analysis of applications to be approved by the FRB (this would include applications relating to financial holding company activities, acquisitions or other matters).  The guidelines also indicate that the FRB will review the Tier 1 leverage measure periodically and will consider adjustments needed to reflect significant changes in the economy, financial markets and banking practices.

          The OCC also imposes on the TCF Banks regulatory capital requirements that are substantially similar to those imposed by the FRB, and TCF believes the TCF Banks complied with OCC regulatory capital requirements at December 31, 2000.

          The FRB and the OCC also have adopted rules that could permit them to quantify and account for interest-rate risk exposure and market risk from trading activity and reflect these risks in higher capital requirements.   New legislation, additional rulemaking, or changes in regulatory policies may affect future regulatory capital requirements applicable to TCF Financial and the TCF Banks.  The ability of TCF Financial and the TCF Banks to comply with regulatory capital requirements may be adversely affected by legislative changes or future rulemaking or policies of their regulatory authorities, or by unanticipated losses or lower levels of earnings.

Restrictions on Distributions

          Dividends or other capital distributions from the TCF Banks to TCF Financial are an important source of funds to enable TCF Financial to pay dividends on its common stock, to make payments on TCF Financial's other borrowings, or for its other cash needs.  The TCF Banks' ability to pay dividends is dependent on regulatory policies and regulatory capital requirements.  The ability to pay such dividends in the future may be adversely affected by new legislation or regulations, or by changes in regulatory policies.  In general, the TCF Banks may not declare or pay a dividend to TCF Financial in excess of 100% of their net profits during a year combined with their retained net profits for the preceding two years without prior approval of the OCC.  The TCF Banks’ ability to make any capital distributions in the future may require regulatory approval and may be restricted by their regulatory authorities.  The TCF Banks' ability to make any such distributions may also depend on their earnings and ability to meet minimum regulatory capital requirements in effect during future periods.  These capital adequacy standards may be higher than existing minimum capital requirements.  The OCC also has the authority to prohibit the payment of dividends by a national bank when it determines such payments would constitute an unsafe and unsound banking practice.  In addition, tax considerations may limit the ability of the TCF Banks to make dividend payments in excess of their current and accumulated tax “earnings and profits” (“E&P”).  Annual dividend distributions in excess of E&P could result in a tax liability based on the amount of excess earnings distributed and current tax rates.  See “Financial Review — Financial Condition - Liquidity Management” on pages 33 and 34 and Note 12 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements on pages 54 and 55 of TCF’s 2000 Annual Report, incorporated herein by reference.

Regulation of TCF Financial and Affiliate and Insider Transactions

          TCF Financial is subject to regulation as a financial holding company.  It is required to register with the FRB and is subject to FRB regulations, examinations and reporting requirements relating to bank or financial holding companies.  As subsidiaries of a financial holding company, the TCF Banks are subject to certain restrictions in their dealings with TCF Financial and with other companies affiliated with TCF Financial, and also with each other.

          A holding company must serve as a source of strength for its subsidiary banks, and the FRB may require a holding company to contribute additional capital to an undercapitalized subsidiary bank.  In addition, Section 55 of the National Bank Act may permit the OCC to order the pro rata assessment of shareholders of a national bank where the capital of the bank has become impaired.  If a shareholder fails to pay such an assessment within three months, the OCC may order the sale of the shareholder's stock to cover a deficiency in the capital of a subsidiary bank.  In the event of a holding company's bankruptcy, any commitment by the holding company to a federal bank regulatory agency to maintain the capital of a subsidiary bank would be assumed by the bankruptcy trustee and may be entitled to priority over other creditors.

          Under the Bank Holding Company Act ("BHCA"), a bank holding company must obtain FRB approval before acquiring more than 5% control, or substantially all of the assets, of another bank, or bank or financial holding company, or merging or consolidating with such a holding company.  The BHCA also generally prohibits a bank holding company, with certain exceptions, from acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of more than 5% of the voting shares of any company which is not a bank or bank holding company, or from engaging directly or indirectly in activities other than those of banking, managing or controlling banks, providing services for its subsidiaries, or conducting activities permitted by the FRB as being closely related and proper incidents to the business of banking. As discussed, the Act permits financial holding companies to engage in an expanded list of activities, subject to certain restrictions.  See  “—Recent Developments.”

Restrictions on Change in Control

          Federal and state laws and regulations contain a number of provisions which impose restrictions on changes in control of financial institutions such as the TCF Banks, and which require regulatory approval prior to any such changes in control.  The Restated Certificate of Incorporation of TCF Financial and a Shareholder Rights Plan adopted by TCF Financial in 1999, among other items, contain features which may inhibit a change in control of TCF Financial.

Acquisitions and Interstate Operations

          Under federal law, interstate merger transactions may be approved by federal bank regulators without regard to whether such transactions are prohibited by the law of any state, unless the home state of one of the banks opted out of the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Act of 1994 (the "1994 Act") by adopting a law after the date of enactment of the 1994 Act and prior to June 1, 1997 which applies equally to all out-of-state banks and expressly prohibits merger transactions involving out-of-state banks.  Interstate acquisitions of branches by banks are permitted only if the law of the state in which the branch is located permits such acquisitions.  Interstate mergers and branch acquisitions may also be subject to certain nationwide and statewide insured deposit maximum concentration levels.

Insurance of Accounts; Depositor Preference

          The deposits of the TCF Banks are insured by the FDIC up to $100,000 per insured depositor.  Substantially all of TCF's deposits are Savings Association Insurance Fund (“SAIF”) insured, but TCF also has deposits insured by the Bank Insurance Fund  (“BIF”).  The FDIC has established a risk-based deposit insurance assessment under which deposit insurance assessments are based upon an institution's capital strength and supervisory condition, as determined by the institution's primary regulator.  The annual insurance premiums on bank deposits insured by the BIF and SAIF may vary between $0 per $100 of deposits for banks classified in the highest capital and supervisory evaluation categories to $.27 per $100 of deposits for banks classified in the lowest capital and supervisory evaluation categories.

          In addition to risk-based deposit insurance assessments, assessments may be imposed on deposits insured by either the BIF or the SAIF to pay for the cost of Financing Corporation ("FICO") funding.  FICO assessment rates for 2000 ranged from $.0202 to $.0212 per $100 of deposits annually for both BIF-assessable and SAIF-assessable deposits.

          An increase in deposit insurance rates could have a material adverse effect on TCF, depending on the amount and duration of the increase.  In addition, the FDIC is authorized to terminate a depository institution's deposit insurance if it finds that the institution is being operated in an unsafe and unsound manner or has violated any rule, regulation, order or condition administered by the institution's regulatory authorities.  Any such termination of deposit insurance is likely to have a material adverse effect on TCF, the severity of which would depend on the amount of deposits affected by such a termination.

          Under federal law, deposits and certain claims for administrative expenses and employee compensation against an insured depository institution are afforded a priority over other general unsecured claims against such an institution, including federal funds and letters of credit, in the liquidation or other resolution of such an institution by any receiver appointed by regulatory authorities.  Such priority creditors would include the FDIC.

Examinations and Regulatory Sanctions

          TCF is subject to periodic examination by the FRB, OCC and the FDIC.  Bank regulatory authorities may impose on institutions found to be operating in an unsafe or unsound manner a number of restrictions or new requirements, including but not limited to growth limitations, dividend restrictions, individual increased regulatory capital requirements, increased loan, lease and real estate loss reserve requirements, increased supervisory assessments, activity limitations or other restrictions that could have an adverse effect on such institutions, their holding companies or holders of their debt and equity securities.  Various enforcement remedies, including civil money penalties, may be assessed against an institution or an institution's directors, officers, employees, agents or independent contractors.

          Subsidiaries of TCF are also subject to state and/or self-regulatory organization licensing, regulation and examination requirements in connection with certain insurance, mortgage banking and securities brokerage activities.

National Bank Investment Limitations

          Permissible investments by national banks are limited by the National Bank Act, as amended, and by rules of the OCC. Non-traditional bank activities permitted by the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act will subject a bank to additional regulatory limitations or requirements, including a required regulatory capital deduction and application of transactions with affiliates limitations in connection with such activities.  See “—Recent Developments.”

Future Legislative and Regulatory Change; Litigation and Enforcement Activity

          There are a number of respects in which future legislative or regulatory change, or changes in enforcement practices or court rulings, could adversely affect TCF, and it is generally not possible to predict when or if such changes may have an impact on TCF.  Legislative proposals for tax reform have sought the elimination of certain tax benefits for single premium annuities which, if adopted, could impair TCF's ability to market annuity products. Legislation and administrative action has limited the role of private lenders in education loans and has adversely affected the profitablilty of student lending activity.  TCF's non-interest income in future periods may be negatively impacted by pending state and federal legislative proposals which, if enacted, could limit loan, deposit or other fees and service charges.  Among other proposals, state legislation has been proposed which could eliminate ATM surcharge fees imposed by TCF, which could restrict the sharing of customer information among TCF-affiliated entities or would otherwise impose requirements on information-sharing practices that are more stringent than those imposed by the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act.  See “—Recent Developments.”  These proposals could adversely affect TCF’s revenues and product marketing strategies. Financial institutions have also increasingly been the subject of private class action lawsuits challenging escrow account practices, private mortgage insurance requirements, the use of loan brokers and other practices.  Pending litigation against Visa and Mastercard, if successful, could have an adverse impact on the revenues of debit card issuers such as TCF.

          The Community Reinvestment Act ("CRA") and other fair lending laws and regulations impose nondiscriminatory lending requirements on financial institutions.  In recent periods, federal regulatory agencies, including the FRB and the Department of Justice ("DOJ"), have sought a more rigorous enforcement of the CRA and other fair lending laws and regulations.  The DOJ is authorized to use the full range of its enforcement authority under the fair lending laws.  The DOJ has authority to commence pattern or practice investigations of possible lending discrimination on its own initiative or through referrals from the federal financial institutions regulatory agencies, and to file lawsuits in federal court where there is reasonable cause to believe that such violations have occurred.  The DOJ is also authorized to bring suit based on individual complaints filed with the Department of Housing and Urban Development where one of the parties to the complaint elects to have the case heard in federal court.  A successful challenge to an institution's performance under the CRA and related laws and regulations could result in a wide variety of sanctions, including the required payment of damages and civil money penalties, prospective and retrospective injunctive relief, imposition of restrictions on mergers and acquisitions activity, and restrictions on expansion activity.  Private parties may also have the ability to challenge an institution's performance under fair lending laws in private class action litigation.  The ultimate effects of the foregoing or other possible legal and regulatory developments cannot be predicted but may have an adverse impact on TCF.

Other Laws and Regulations

          TCF is subject to a wide array of other laws and regulations, both federal and state, including, but not limited to, usury laws, the CRA and related regulations, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act and Regulation B, Regulation D reserve requirements, Regulation E Electronic Funds transfer requirements, the Truth-in-Lending Act and Regulation Z, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act and Regulation X, and the Truth-in-Savings Act and Regulation DD. TCF is also subject to laws and regulations that may impose liability on lenders and owners for clean-up costs and other costs stemming from hazardous waste located on property securing real estate loans.  Although TCF's lending procedures include measures designed to limit lender liability for hazardous waste clean-up or other related liability, TCF has engaged in significant commercial lending activity, and lenders may be held liable for clean-up costs relating to hazardous wastes under certain circumstances.

 

TAXATION

Federal Taxation

Bad Debt Reserves

          TCF files consolidated federal income tax returns and is an accrual basis taxpayer.  The TCF Banks are subject to federal income tax under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") in the same general manner as other corporations.  Prior to 1996, savings institutions were subject to special bad debt reserve rules and certain other rules.  During this period, a savings institution that held 60% or more of its assets in "qualifying assets" (as defined in the Code) was permitted to maintain reserves for bad debts and to make annual additions to such reserves that qualified as deductions from taxable income.

          Beginning in 1996, the favorable bad debt method described above was repealed, putting savings institutions on the same tax bad debt method as commercial banks.  This legislation requires recapture of the amount of the tax bad debt reserves to the extent that they exceed the adjusted base year reserve (the “applicable excess reserves").  The applicable excess reserves are recaptured over a six-year period.  This recapture period can be deferred for a period of up to two years to the extent that a certain residential lending test is met.  TCF has previously provided taxes for the applicable excess reserves.

IRS Audit History

          The statute of limitations on TCF's consolidated federal tax return is closed through 1996, with the exception of certain filed refund claims.

          See "Financial Review — Results of Operations - Income Taxes" on page 28, Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements on pages 43 through 45 and Note 11 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements on pages 53 and 54 of TCF's 2000 Annual Report, incorporated herein by reference, for additional information regarding TCF's income taxes.

State Taxation

          TCF and/or its subsidiaries currently file tax returns in all 50 states and local tax returns in certain cities and other taxing jurisdictions.  TCF’s primary banking activities are in the states of Minnesota, Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan and Colorado.  The tax rates  in those jurisdictions are 9.8%, 7.3%, 7.9%, 2.1% and 4.6%, respectively. The methods of filing, and the methods for calculating taxable and apportionable income, vary depending upon the laws of the taxing jurisdiction.

ITEM 2.       PROPERTIES

Offices

          At December 31, 2000, TCF owned the buildings and land for 103 of its bank branch offices, owned the buildings but leased the land for 5 of its bank branch offices and leased the remaining 244 bank branch offices, all of which are well maintained.  The properties related to the bank branch offices owned by TCF had a depreciated cost of approximately $60.5 million at December 31, 2000.  At December 31, 2000, the aggregate net book value of leasehold improvements associated with leased bank branch office facilities was $17.6 million.  In addition to the above-referenced branch offices, TCF owned and leased other facilities with an aggregate net book value of $18.1 million at December 31, 2000.  See Note 8 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements on pages 49 and 50 of TCF's 2000 Annual Report, incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 3.       LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

            From time to time, TCF is a party to legal proceedings arising out of its general lending and operating activities. TCF is and expects to become engaged in a number of foreclosure proceedings and other collection actions as part of its loan collection activities.  From time to time, borrowers have also brought actions against TCF, in some cases claiming substantial amounts of damages.  Some financial services companies have recently been subjected to significant exposure in connection with class actions and/or suits seeking punitive damages.  Among other possible developments, adverse decisions in litigation dealing with ATM surcharge legislation, privacy concerns or pending litigation against Visa and Mastercard affecting debit card fees could have an adverse impact on TCF.  Management, after review with its legal counsel, believes that the ultimate disposition of its litigation will not have a material effect on TCF's financial condition.

            On November 2, 1993, TCF National Bank Minnesota ("TCF Minnesota," now known as "TCF National Bank") filed a complaint in the United States Court of Federal Claims seeking monetary damages from the United States for breach of contract, taking of property without just compensation and deprivation of property without due process.  TCF Minnesota’s claim is based on the government’s breach of contract in connection with TCF Minnesota’s acquisitions of certain savings institutions prior to the enactment of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 (“FIRREA”), which contracts allowed TCF Minnesota to treat the “supervisory goodwill” created by the acquisitions as an asset that could be counted toward regulatory capital, and provided for other favorable regulatory accounting treatment.  The United States has not yet answered TCF Minnesota’s complaint.  TCF Minnesota’s complaint involves approximately $80.3 million in supervisory goodwill.

            In August 1995, TCF National Bank Michigan ("TCF Michigan," now known as "TCF National Bank") filed with the United States Court of Federal Claims a complaint seeking monetary damages from the United States for breach of contract, taking of property without just compensation and deprivation of property without due process.  TCF Michigan’s claim is based on the government’s breach of contract in connection with TCF Michigan’s acquisitions of certain savings institutions prior to the enactment of FIRREA in 1989, which contracts allowed TCF Michigan to treat the “supervisory goodwill” created by the acquisitions as an asset that could be counted toward regulatory capital, and provided for other favorable regulatory accounting treatment.  The United States has not yet answered TCF Michigan’s complaint.  TCF Michigan’s complaint involves approximately $87.3 million in supervisory goodwill.

            On July 1, 1996, the United States Supreme Court issued a decision affirming the August 30, 1995 decision of the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, which decision had affirmed the Court of Federal Claims’ liability determinations in three other “supervisory goodwill” cases, consolidated for review under the title Winstar Corp. v. United States , 116 S.Ct. 2432 (1996).  In rejecting the United States’ consolidated appeal from the Court of Federal Claims’ decisions, the Supreme Court held in Winstar that the United States had breached contracts it had entered into with the plaintiffs which provided for the treatment of supervisory goodwill, created through the plaintiffs’ acquisitions of failed or failing savings institutions, as an asset that could be counted toward regulatory capital.  Two of the three cases consolidated in the Supreme Court proceedings have since been tried before the Court of Federal Claims on the issue of damages, and the third was settled without trial.  In one of the cases that proceeded to a damages trial, Glendale Federal Bank, FSB v. United States , 43 Fed. Cl. 390 (1999), the Court of Federal Claims issued a decision on April 9, 1999, awarding the plaintiff in that case $908,948,000 in restitution and non-overlapping reliance damages.  The other case which went to trial was settled in June 1998.

            The Glendale damages decision was appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, and on February 16, 2001, the Federal Circuit vacated the trial court’s award of damages.  The Federal Circuit held that the trial court’s award of approximately $530 million in restitution was erroneous given the facts of the case.  The Federal Circuit concluded that for purposes of measuring the loss suffered by Glendale as a result of the Government’s breach, reliance damages provided a “firmer and more rational basis” than the alternative damages theories argued by the parties.  The Federal Circuit did not affirm or reverse the trial court’s award of approximately $380 million in non-overlapping post-breach reliance damages, but instead remanded the case to the Court of Federal Claims for a determination of the total reliance damages to which Glendale may be entitled.  It is not known whether in banc or Supreme Court review of the Federal Circuit’s decision in Glendale will be sought.

            On December 22, 1997, the Court of Federal Claims issued a decision finding the existence of contracts and governmental breaches of those contracts in four other “supervisory goodwill” cases, consolidated for purposes of that decision only under the title California Federal Bank v. United States , 39 Fed. Cl. 753 (1997).  In reaching its decision, the Court of Federal Claims rejected a number of “common issue” defenses that the government has raised in a number of “supervisory goodwill” cases.  In November 1998, the Court of Federal Claims issued another decision in the California Federal case prohibiting the plaintiff in that case from offering evidence as to a lost profits theory of damages.  A two-month trial regarding the plaintiff’s other damages theories in that case was concluded in early March 1999.  On April 21, 1999, the Court of Federal Claims entered judgment for the plaintiff in California Federal , and awarded the plaintiff $22,966,523.42 in damages under a cost of replacement capital theory.  California Federal Bank v. United States, 43 Fed Cl. 445 (1999).  The California Federal decision has been appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.

          The Court of Federal Claims  has also issued damages decisions in several other “supervisory goodwill” cases.  While the Court awarded the plaintiffs in some of these cases damages for the government’s breach of “supervisory goodwill” contracts, the Court rejected certain of the plaintiffs’ claims for damages, and awarded the plaintiffs only a portion of the damages they sought.  Certain of these decisions are currently on appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, and the Company expects the remaining decisions to be appealed as well.  As noted, the Court of Federal Claims has held or is soon to hold trials in several other “supervisory goodwill” cases, and it is expected both that the Court will continue to issue additional decisions on both liability and damages issues and that most, if not all, of the Court’s decisions in these cases will be appealed.

            The government has indicated that it will have a number of affirmative defenses against goodwill litigation filed against it.  The TCF Minnesota and TCF Michigan actions involve a variety of different types of transactions, contracts and contract provisions.  There can be no assurance that the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Winstar or liability and damages decisions in Glendale , California Federal and other cases will mean that a similar result would be obtained in the actions filed by TCF Minnesota and TCF Michigan.  There also can be no assurance that the government will be determined liable in connection with the loss of supervisory goodwill by either TCF Minnesota or TCF Michigan or, even if a determination favorable to TCF Minnesota or TCF Michigan is made on the issue of the government’s liability, that a measure of damages will be employed that will permit any recovery on TCF Minnesota’s or TCF Michigan’s claim.  Because of the complexity of the issues involved in both the liability and damages phases of this litigation, and the usual risks associated with litigation, the Company cannot predict the outcome of TCF Minnesota’s or TCF Michigan’s cases, and investors should not anticipate any recovery.

   Fourth Quarter 30.56 23.75 .1875

          As of  March 16, 2001, there were approximately 11,700 record holders of TCF's common stock.

          The Board of Directors of TCF Financial has not adopted a formal dividend policy.  The Board of Directors intends to continue its present practice of paying quarterly cash dividends on TCF's common stock as justified by the financial condition of TCF.  The declaration and amount of future dividends will depend on circumstances existing at the time, including TCF's earnings, financial condition and capital requirements, the cash available to pay such dividends (derived mainly from dividends and distributions from the TCF Banks), as well as regulatory and contractual limitations and such other factors as the Board of Directors may deem relevant.

EXHIBIT 10(d)

TCF DIRECTORS DEFERRED COMPENSATION TRUST

(a) This Agreement made effective as of the 1st day of October, 2000 by and between TCF Financial Corporation ("TCF Financial") and any subsidiary thereof whose directors are eligible for a plan listed in the Appendix (TCF Financial and the subsidiaries are individually each referred to herein as the "Company") and The First National Bank in Sioux Falls ("Trustee");

(b) WHEREAS, Company has adopted the nonqualified deferred compensation plan(s) as listed in the Appendix ( the "Plan").

(c) WHEREAS, Company has incurred or expects to incur liability under the terms of such Plan(s) with respect to the individuals participating in such Plan(s).

(d) WHEREAS, Company wishes to establish a trust (hereinafter called "Trust") and to contribute to the Trust assets that shall be held therein, subject to the claims of Company's creditors in the event of Company's Insolvency, as herein defined, until paid to Plan participants and their beneficiaries in such manner and at such times as specified in the Plan(s);

(e) WHEREAS, it is the intention of the parties that this Trust shall constitute an unfunded arrangement and shall not affect the status of the Plan(s) as an unfunded plan maintained for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for non-employee directors;

(f) WHEREAS, it is the intention of Company to make contributions to the Trust to provide itself with a source of funds to assist it in the meeting of its liabilities under the Plan(s);

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties do hereby establish the Trust and agree that the Trust shall be comprised, held and disposed of as follows:

Section 1. ESTABLISHMENT OF TRUST

(a) Company hereby deposits with Trustee in trust shares of common stock, TCF Financial Corporation, par value $.01 per share ("TCF Stock"), which shall become the principal of the Trust to be held, administered and disposed of by Trustee as provided in this Trust Agreement.

(b) The Trust shall become irrevocable upon approval by the Board of Directors of TCF Financial.

(c) The Trust is intended to be a grantor trust, of which Company is the grantor, within the meaning of subpart E, part I, subchapter J, chapter 1, subtitle A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and shall be construed accordingly.

(d) The principal of the Trust, and any earnings thereon shall be held separate and apart from other funds of Company and shall be used exclusively for the uses and purposes of


Plan participants and general creditors as herein set forth. Plan participants and their beneficiaries shall have no preferred claim on, or any beneficial ownership interest in, any assets of the Trust. Any rights created under the Plan(s) and this Trust Agreement shall be mere unsecured contractual rights of Plan participants and their beneficiaries against Company. Any assets held by the Trust will be subject to the claims of Company's general creditors under federal and state law in the event of Insolvency, as defined in Section 3(a) herein.

(e) Company, in its sole discretion, may at any time, or from time to time, make additional deposits of cash or other property in trust with Trustee to augment the principal to be held, administered and disposed of by Trustee as provided in this Trust Agreement. Neither Trustee nor any Plan participant or beneficiary shall have any right to compel such additional deposits.

Section 2. PAYMENTS TO PLAN PARTICIPANTS AND THEIR BENEFICIARIES.

(a) Company shall deliver to Trustee a schedule (the "Payment Schedule") that indicates the amounts payable in respect of each Plan participant (and his or her beneficiaries), that provides a formula or other instructions acceptable to Trustee for determining the amounts so payable, the form in which such amount is to be paid (as provided for or available under the Plan(s)), and the time of commencement for payment of such amounts. Except as otherwise provided herein, Trustee shall make payments to the Plan participants and their beneficiaries in accordance with such Payment Schedule. The Trustee shall make provision for the reporting and withholding of any federal, state or local taxes that may be required to be withheld with respect to the payment of benefits pursuant to the terms of the Plan(s) and shall pay amounts withheld to the appropriate taxing authorities or determine that such amounts have been reported, withheld and paid by Company.

(b) The entitlement of a Plan participant or his or her beneficiaries to benefits under the Plan(s) shall be determined by Company or such party as it shall designate under the Plan(s), and any claim for such benefits shall be considered and reviewed under the procedures set out in the Plan(s).

(c) Company may make payment of benefits directly to Plan participants or their beneficiaries as they become due under the terms of the Plan(s). Company shall notify Trustee of its decision to make payment of benefits directly prior to the time amounts are payable to participants or their beneficiaries. In addition, if the principal of the Trust, and any earnings thereon, are not sufficient to make payments of benefits in accordance with the terms of the Plan(s), Company shall make the balance of each such payment as it falls due. Trustee shall notify Company where principal and earnings are not sufficient.

Section 3. TRUSTEE RESPONSIBILITY REGARDING PAYMENTS TO TRUST BENEFICIARY WHEN COMPANY IS INSOLVENT.

(a) Trustee shall cease payment of benefits to Plan participants and their beneficiaries if the Company is Insolvent. Company shall be considered "Insolvent" for

purposes of this Trust Agreement if (i) Company is unable to pay its debts as they become due, or (ii) Company is subject to a pending proceeding as a debtor under the United States Bankruptcy Code, or (iii) Company is determined to be insolvent by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

(2) Unless Trustee has actual knowledge of Company's Insolvency, or has received notice from Company or a person claiming to be a creditor alleging that Company is Insolvent, Trustee shall have no duty to inquire whether Company is Insolvent. Trustee may in all events rely on such evidence concerning Company's solvency as may be furnished to Trustee and that provides Trustee with a reasonable basis for making a determination concerning Company's solvency.

(3) If at any time Trustee has determined that Company is Insolvent, Trustee shall discontinue payments to Plan participants or their beneficiaries and shall hold the assets of the Trust for the benefit of Company's general creditors. Nothing in this Trust Agreement shall in any way diminish any rights as of Plan participants or their beneficiaries as general creditors of Company with respect to benefits due under the Plan(s) or otherwise.

(4) Trustee shall resume the payment of benefits to Plan participants or their beneficiaries in accordance with Section 2 of this Trust Agreement only after Trustee has determined that Company is not Insolvent (or is no longer Insolvent).

(c) Provided that there are sufficient assets, if Trustee discontinues the payment of benefits from the Trust pursuant to Section 3(b) hereof and subsequently resumes such payments, the first payment following such discontinuance shall include the aggregate amount of all payments due to Plan participants or their beneficiaries under the terms of the Plan(s) for the period of such discontinuance, less the aggregate amount of any payments made to Plan participants or their beneficiaries by Company in lieu of the payments provided for hereunder during any such period of discontinuance.

Section 4. PAYMENTS TO COMPANY.

Except as provided in Section 3 hereof, after the Trust has become irrevocable, Company shall have no right or power to direct Trustee to return to Company or to divert to others any of the Trust assets before all payment of benefits have been made to Plan participants and their beneficiaries pursuant to the terms of the Plan(s).

(a) Trustee shall act with the care, skill, prudence and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing that a prudent person acting in like capacity and familiar with such matters would use in the conduct of an enterprise of a like character and with like aims, provided, however, that Trustee shall incur no liability to any person for any action taken pursuant to a direction, request or approval given by Company which is contemplated by, and in conformity, the terms of the Plan(s) or this Trust and is given in writing by Company. In

4

the event of a dispute between Company and a party, Trustee may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction to resolve the dispute.

(b) If Trustee undertakes or defends any litigation arising in connection with this Trust, Company agrees to indemnify Trustee against Trustee's costs, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and expenses) relating thereto and to be primarily liable for such payments.

TRUST AGREEMENT FOR
TCF FINANCIAL SENIOR OFFICER DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

THIS TRUST AGREEMENT, made effective as of the 1st day of October, 2000, by and between TCF Financial Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("TCF Financial") and The First National Bank in Sioux Falls (the "Trustee"),

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, TCF Financial has established the TCF Financial Senior Officer Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Plan"), which plan is now in full force and effect; and

WHEREAS, the Plan is a nonqualified deferred compensation plan for select management of TCF Financial and its subsidiaries (the "Companies" or, individually, the "Company"), and TCF Financial wishes to establish a convenient method for discharging its obligations to pay deferred compensation under said Plan;

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties to this Agreement do hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1

ESTABLISHMENT AND ACCEPTANCE OF TRUST

SECTION 1.1. This Trust shall be known as the "TRUST FOR TCF FINANCIAL SENIOR OFFICER DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN." The Trustee hereby accepts the Trust subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and agrees to hold and administer the assets of the Trust and to execute the Trust in accordance with the provisions hereof. The assets deposited with the Trustee and held pursuant to this Trust are referred to herein collectively as the "Trust Fund."

SECTION 1.2. Amounts credited to the accounts of Plan participants pursuant to Article 4 are not included in their gross income for federal income tax purposes until such time as they are actually paid or otherwise made available to such participants.

ARTICLE 2

CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE TRUST

SECTION 2.1. The Trustee shall receive from time to time such amounts in cash or other property acceptable to the Trustee as the Companies shall contribute pursuant to the terms of the Plan. Each such contribution shall be accompanied by a statement designating the Plan

1

participant on behalf of whom such contribution is being made and, if more than one account has been established for such participant pursuant to Section 4, the account to which such contribution will be credited. The Trustee shall be under no obligation to collect any such contributions, and all responsibility for determining the amount, timing, and types of contributions made to the Trustee shall be upon the Companies or their designees. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as requiring the Companies, or any of them, to make any contributions to the Trust.

SECTION 2.2. All contributions so received and all proceeds, investments, reinvestments, and income thereof in the Trustee's possession shall be held, invested, and, with all disbursements therefrom, accounted for by the Trustee as provided in this Agreement.

SECTION 2.3. No portion of the Trust Fund shall be diverted to or used for any purpose other than the payment of benefits pursuant to the Plan, or for the payment of expenses of administering the Plan and the Trust, or for the payment of expenses incurred in the making and administering of Trust investments pursuant to Sections 4 and 5, until such time as the Companies' obligations to make payments pursuant to the Plan have been fully discharged; PROVIDED, and notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, at all times during the continuance of this Trust, the principal and income of the Trust Fund shall be subject to the claims of the general creditors of the Companies. At any time that the Trustee has actual knowledge, or has determined, that a Company is "Insolvent," it shall deliver any undistributed principal and income credited to the accounts established for participants employed by such Company to satisfy such claims as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. The Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer of each Company shall have the duty to inform the Trustee of that Company's Insolvency. If a Company or any person claiming to be a creditor of a Company alleges in writing to the Trustee that such Company has become Insolvent, and if the Trustee determines such allegation is made in good faith and upon reasonable grounds, the Trustee shall immediately suspend payments from the accounts established for participants employed by such Company and shall hold all assets of such accounts subject to claims of such Company's creditors. The Trustee shall then request, within 10 days, from such Company sufficient information to determine if the Company is Insolvent. If the Company shall fail or refuse to supply sufficient information from which the Trustee may determine if the Company is Insolvent within 30 days of the Trustee's request, the Trustee shall promptly request such information from the party which alleged that the Company is Insolvent. If, on the basis of the information so provided, the Trustee determines that the Company is not Insolvent, it shall immediately resume payments from the accounts established for participants employed by such Company, together with payment of any amounts held back by the Trustee while making a determination as to Insolvency. If the Trustee determines the Company is Insolvent, or if it has not received sufficient information to make a determination as to the Company's solvency, it shall resume such payments only after the Trustee has determined that the Company is no longer Insolvent. Unless the Trustee has actual knowledge of a Company's Insolvency, it shall have no duty to inquire whether any Company is Insolvent. The Trustee may in all events rely on such evidence concerning the Companies' solvency as may be furnished to the Trustee which will give it a reasonable basis for making a determination concerning the Companies' solvency, and nothing in this Agreement shall in any way diminish any right of the Plan's participants or their

2

beneficiaries to pursue their rights as general creditors of the Companies with respect to benefits payable to them pursuant to the Plan. To assist the Trustee with its determinations required hereunder, the Trustee may rely upon the advice of legal counsel and/or other professional counsel retained by the Trustee and such counsel's reasonable fees and expenses shall be payable from the assets of the Trust or, at TCF Financial's election, may be directly paid by TCF Financial and/or one or more of the Companies, PROVIDED that TCF Financial is notified in advance of the Trustee's retention of legal counsel and TCF Financial or the Committee consents thereto, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. A Company shall be considered "Insolvent" for the purposes of this Agreement if it is unable to pay its debts as they mature, or if it is a party as a debtor to a proceeding pending under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, or under any other applicable state or federal bankruptcy law.

ARTICLE 3

PAYMENTS FROM THE TRUST FUND

SECTION 3.1.

a. When a Plan participant or beneficiary becomes entitled to benefits pursuant to the Plan, the committee appointed to administer the Plan (the "Committee") shall notify and direct the Trustees in writing of:

i. the name, social security number, and mailing address of such participant or beneficiary;

ii. the amount and form of the distributions to be made to such participant or beneficiary under the Plan;

iii. the period for which such distributions are to be made; and

iv. the date on which such distributions are to commence.

Upon receipt of such notice and direction, the Trustee shall commence payments due to such participant or beneficiary out of the Trust assets. Such payments shall be debited to the account or accounts established for such participant as provided in Section 4 and shall continue until the earliest of: (A) the date on which the last payment due to such participant or beneficiary has been made; (B) the balance credited to the account or accounts from which such payments are to be made has been reduced to zero; or (C) the Trustee receives written notice and direction from the Committee to cease distributions because a Company will continue such payments out of its general assets.

b. If the Trustee receives written notice and direction from the Committee that a Company will continue any payments due pursuant to this section 3.1 out of its general assets, the Trustee shall discontinue the making of such distributions out of the Trust Fund; PROVIDED, that the Trustee shall resume such distributions (and shall make any payments then in

3

arrears) if it receives written notice and direction from the Committee that the Company will no longer make such payments from its general assets.

c. Distributions due pursuant to this section 3.1 shall be made at such times, and in such form, as may be provided for under the Plan.

d. A "Directing Party" for purposes of this Agreement shall include TCF Financial, the Committee, or any participant or beneficiary authorized by this Agreement to direct the Trustee, as applicable (collectively referred to for purposes of this Agreement as the "Directing Party").

e. Notwithstanding paragraphs a, and b of this Section, the following shall apply on and after a Change in Control (as defined in Section 5(j) of the Plan). If the Trustee receives notification from any source that a distribution may be due to a participant or beneficiary, the Trustee shall promptly request from the Committee all relevant information and directions relative to such distribution(s) and if the Committee shall fail to provide such information and/or directions within 30 days, the Trustee shall accept and act upon any information and/or directions received from the participant or beneficiary with respect to commencement or re-commencement of the payment of distributions to such participant or beneficiary. In connection with providing such information and/or directions, the participant or beneficiary shall be deemed a "Directing Party" for purposes of this Agreement.

f. The Trustee shall be held harmless and shall not be liable for its acts with respect to distributions from the Trust Fund when following the directions of the Committee, or for failure to act in the absence of such directions, nor shall the Trustee be liable or responsible for any payment made by it in good faith and in the exercise of reasonable care without knowledge of the changed condition or status of any payee.

SECTION 3.2. Except to the extent that such amounts are promptly paid by the Companies, the Trustee shall also pay out of the Trust Fund: (a) all broker fees and other expenses incurred in connection with the sale or purchase of investments; (b) all personal property taxes, income taxes, and other taxes of any kind (including taxes payable by the Companies, net of any related tax savings to the Companies) at any time levied or assessed under any present or future law upon, or with respect to, the Trust Fund or any property included in the trust Fund; and (c) its own compensation and all other reasonable expenses of administering the Plan and the Trust, including legal and/or other professional fees reasonably incurred by the Trustee and/or the Trust pursuant to Section 2.3 of this Agreement. Expenses shall be charged to the Trust Fund without allocation among the accounts established pursuant to Section 4, unless an expense is directly attributable to one or more of such accounts, in which case such expense shall be charged directly to such accounts. The Trustee may dispose of Trust investments, if necessary to provide cash assets for the payment of expenses.

SECTION 3.3. As directed by the Committee, the Trustee shall withhold all or any part of any distribution required to be made hereunder as the Committee reasonably deems necessary and proper to protect the Trustee or the Trust Fund against any liability or claim on account of

4

any estate, inheritance, income, or other tax, and the Trustee may discharge any such liability with any part or all of any such payment so withheld.

SECTION 3.4. Distributions pursuant to Section 3.1 shall be deemed to have been sufficiently made if they are sent by first class mail to the participant at the address provided to the Trustee by the Committee. If any such distribution is returned to the Trustee unclaimed, the Trustee shall notify the Committee and shall not make any further distributions to such payee until it receives further directions from the Committee.

ARTICLE 4

INVESTMENTS OF THE TRUST FUND; PARTICIPANTS' ACCOUNTS

SECTION 4.1. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Trustee shall invest, reinvest, and hold the assets of the Trust Fund in such investments as may be permitted by the Committee and as each Plan participant shall direct in writing for his own account. Insofar as the Trustee has acquired an investment for a Plan participant's Account pursuant to such directions, the participant shall have the right to determine confidentially whether such investment will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer, and to direct the Trustee accordingly. The Trustee shall not be restricted to those investments which are authorized by the laws of any State for the investment of trust funds. In addition, the Trustee may, for reasonable periods of time, hold in its banking department any part or all of the Trust Fund uninvested or in cash without liability for interest thereon, pending the investment of such funds or the payment of costs, expenses, or benefits payable under the Plan in the banking department of any corporate Trustee serving hereunder or of any other bank, trust company or other financial institution including those affiliated in ownership with the Trustee. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by it pursuant to such written directions which shall be deemed to be authorized by the Committee and to be directions of the Committee.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.1, the rights of each Plan participant to direct the investment of his account shall be subject to the claims of the general creditors of the Company by which such participant is employed. Any investment direction of a participant shall be made by each December 31 as applicable to the next succeeding calendar year and shall be irrevocable with respect to such calendar year, unless the Committee shall direct otherwise.

SECTION 4.2. The Trustee shall establish one or more separate accounts for each Plan participant, and each such account shall be designated by the name of the participant for whom it has been established. The assets of the Trust Fund initially deposited with the Trustee shall be allocated among these accounts in accordance with the instructions of the Committee. All contributions received by the Trustee on behalf of a participant, and all dividends or distributions made with respect to property allocated to such participant's account, shall then be credited to such account and invested as the participant shall direct. Distributions made by the Trustee to a Plan participant shall only be made from such Participant's account to the extent of the balance thereof.

5

SECTION 4.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Plan participant's right to direct the investment of his account during any period of distribution subsequent to his retirement or disability shall be the same as an active participant's unless the Committee directs otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.3, the rights of each Plan participant to direct the investment of his Account (which directions shall be deemed to be directions of the Committee) shall be subject to the claims of the general creditors of the Company by which such participant is employed.

ARTICLE 5

POWERS AND DUTIES OF THE TRUSTEE

SECTION 5.1. In addition to the powers and discretions conferred upon the Trustee by any other provision of this Agreement, but subject to the provisions of Article 4 hereof, the Trustee shall have all the usual powers conferred by law on trustees and shall also have the following express powers with respect to the Trust Fund:

a. To retain, to exchange for any other property, to sell in any manner and at any time, to divide, subdivide, partition, mortgage, improve, alter, remodel, repair, and develop in any manner any property, real or personal, to lease such property for any period of time, and to grant options to sell or lease any such property, without regard to restrictions and without the approval of any court.

g. Notwithstanding any language in the Trust instrument, neither the Committee nor the Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall have power to start, to enter into or

6

otherwise engage in any business enterprise, or to continue to operate any business enterprise, that becomes part of the Trust estate, if such activity constitutes "carrying on business" as referred to in Section 301.7701-2 of the procedure and administration regulations.

h. The Trustee is expressly authorized to the fullest extent permitted by law to (i) retain the services of U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray Inc. and/or U.S. Bancorp Investments, Inc., each being affiliates of U.S. Bank National Association, and/or any other registered broker-dealer organization hereafter affiliated with U.S. Bank National Association, and any future successors in interest thereto (collectively for the purposes of this paragraph referred to as the "Affiliated Entities"), to provide services to assist in or facilitate the purchase or sale of investment securities in the Trust, (ii) acquire as assets of the Trust shares of mutual funds to which Affiliated Entities provides, for a fee, services in any capacity and (iii) acquire in the Trust any other services or products of any kind or nature from the Affiliated Entities regardless of whether the same or similar services or products are available from other institutions. The Trust may directly or indirectly (through mutual funds fees and charges for example) pay management fees, transaction fees and other commissions to the Affiliated Entities for the services or products provided to the Trust and/or such mutual funds at such Affiliated Entities' standard or published rates without offset (unless required by law) from any fees charged by the Trustee for its services as Trustee. The Trustee may also deal directly with the Affiliated Entities regardless of the capacity in which it is then acting, to purchase, sell, exchange or transfer assets of the Trust even though the Affiliated Entities are receiving compensation or otherwise profiting from such transaction or are acting as a principal in such transaction. Each of the Affiliated Entities is authorized to (i) effect transactions on national securities exchanges for the Trust as directed by the Trustee, and (ii) retain any transactional fees related thereto, consistent with
Section 11(a)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and related Rule 11a2-2(T). Included specifically, but not by way of limitation, in the transactions authorized by this provision are transactions in which any of the Affiliated Entities are serving as an underwriter or member of an underwriting syndicate for a security being purchased or are purchasing or selling a security for its own account. In the event the Trustee is directed by a Directing Party (as defined in Section 3.1(d) of this Agreement), the Directing Party shall be authorized, and expressly retains the right hereunder, to direct the Trustee to retain the services of, and conduct transactions with, Affiliated Entities fully in the manner described above.

SECTION 5.2. The Trustee shall have no duties whatsoever except as are specifically set forth as such in this Agreement, and no implied covenant or obligation will be read into this Agreement against the Trustee.

SECTION 5.3. If there is more than one Trustee, the action of all of the Trustees at the time acting hereunder, and any instrument executed by all of the Trustees, shall be considered the action or instrument of the Trustee. Such action may be taken at a meeting or in writing without a meeting, and the Trustees may authorize any one or more of them to perform routine functions, to sign routine papers, and to perform established or customary administrative and ministerial functions.

As of each December 31st, and at such other times as the Committee may reasonably require, the Trustee shall determine the fair market value of the Trust Fund, and of each participant's Account, and shall notify the Committee in writing of the fair market value as so determined within 30 days thereof.

Ownership of the assets comprising the Trust Fund shall be in the Trustee, in its capacity as Trustee, and participants in the Plan and their beneficiaries shall have no right or interest in or to such assets, except as specifically provided herein. The rights of any participant or his beneficiaries to any benefits or future payments hereunder or under the provisions of the Plan shall be solely those of unsecured, general creditors of the Companies, and such rights shall not be subject to attachment, garnishment or other legal process by any creditor of any such participant or beneficiary. Except to the extent that a Plan participant shall have a continuing right to designate a beneficiary of any amount payable in the event of his death, no such participant or beneficiary shall have any right to alienate, anticipate, commute, pledge, encumber, transfer, or assign any of the benefits or payments which he may expect to receive, contingently or otherwise, under the Plan or this Agreement.

SECTION 7.5 Communications to the Trustee shall be deemed sufficiently made if sent by mail addressed to the Trustee at its address on file with the Committee. Communications to the Companies or the Committee will be deemed sufficiently made if sent by mail addressed to the Committee, in care of TCF Financial, at its principal place of business.

ARTICLE 8

SUCCESSION OF TRUSTEES

SECTION 8.1. The Trustee acting hereunder shall be one or more individuals, or one or more qualified corporations, or any combination of individuals and qualified corporations, appointed by TCF Financial to serve in such capacity; PROVIDED, that an individual who is or has been eligible to participate in the Plan shall not be eligible to serve as a Trustee. The number of Trustees shall not be increased or decreased except with the written consent of all of the Plan's participants (excluding any terminated participants and beneficiaries then receiving distributions pursuant to the Plan, other than terminated participants entitled to a lump sum distribution). Upon any determination to increase the number of Trustees, or upon the death, disability, removal, or resignation of any Trustee, the vacancy or vacancies so created shall be filled by such individuals or qualified corporations as may be appointed by the Board of Directors of TCF

9

Financial and approved in writing by all of the Plan's participants (excluding any terminated participants and beneficiaries then receiving distributions pursuant to the Plan, other than terminated participants entitled to a lump sum distribution). If the Board of Directors of TCF Financial and all of the Plan's participants (excluding any terminated participants and beneficiaries then receiving distributions pursuant to the Plan, other than terminated participants entitled to a lump sum distribution) shall fail to agree upon such appointment, and if there is no other Trustee then acting, a successor Trustee or Trustees shall be appointed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Any such appointment shall be effective upon the acceptance thereof in writing by the person so appointed and the delivery of a signed copy of such acceptance to the Trustee then in office.

SECTION 8.2. The Trustee, and any successor to any Trustee, may be removed by the Board of Directors of TCF Financial at any time upon the receipt by Board of Directors of TCF Financial of the consent of all of the Plan's participants (excluding any terminated participants and beneficiaries then receiving distributions pursuant to the Plan, other than terminated participants entitled to a lump sum distribution) to such removal and upon the giving of 30 days' prior written notice to such Trustee and to any other Trustees then acting. Such removal shall be effective on the date specified in such written notice; PROVIDED, that notice shall theretofore have been given to the Trustee of the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees in the manner hereinafter set forth. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Trustee who dies or who becomes eligible to be a participant in the Plan shall automatically cease to be a Trustee, effective as of the date of death of the date such eligibility commences, whichever is applicable.

SECTION 8.3. The Trustee, and any successor to any Trustee, may resign as Trustee hereunder by filing with the Committee a written resignation which shall take effect 30 days after the date of such filing, unless prior thereto a successor Trustee or Trustees shall have been appointed.

SECTION 8.4. All of the provisions set forth herein with respect to the Trustee shall relate to each successor Trustee so appointed with the same force and effect as if such successor Trustee originally had been named herein as a Trustee.

SECTION 8.5. Upon the appointment of a successor Trustee, the removed or resigning Trustee shall transfer and deliver those assets of the Trust Fund in its possession or under its control to the remaining Trustee or Trustees, if any, or otherwise to the successor Trustee or Trustees, together with all such instruments of transfer, conveyance, assignment, and further assurance as the remaining or successor Trustee may reasonably require. Any removed or resigning Trustee shall, at the request of the Committee, or may, in its own discretion, file with the Committee an account of its actions as Trustee. The receipt and approval by the Committee of the final account of the removed or resigning Trustee shall be a full and complete acquittal and discharge from liability of such removed or resigning Trustee, and any successor Trustee shall have no liability whatsoever for the acts or omissions of any prior Trustee in which it did not participate. If the Committee shall fail to express in writing its objections to any account delivered by any removed or resigning Trustee within six months from the date of receipt by the Committee of such account, such account shall be considered as approved by the Committee

ARTICLE 9

AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF THE TRUST

SECTION 9.1. This Agreement may be amended at any time and from time to time, upon the approval of the Board of Directors of TCF Financial; PROVIDED, that, if the amendment is adopted prior to a change in control (as defined in section 5(j) of the Plan), no such amendment shall (without the consent of the participant, including any terminated participants and beneficiaries then receiving distributions) alter any participant's or beneficiary's right to payments of amounts previously credited to such participant's or beneficiary's Account or delay the time or times at which a participant or beneficiary is entitled to receive payments with respect to the participant's Deferred Amounts under the Plan). If the amendment is adopted after a change in control, as defined in section 5(j) of the Plan, the approval of the Board of Directors and the consent of all participants, terminated participants and beneficiaries shall be required for the amendment. In the event that all of the Plan's participants and beneficiaries do not consent to a proposed amendment, such amendment shall not take effect but the Trust assets credited to the accounts of the consenting participants shall be transferred to a separate trust established pursuant to an agreement that is identical to this Agreement in all respects, except that it may include the proposed amendment.

SECTION 9.2. This Trust shall not be terminated until such time as all of the Companies' obligations to make distributions pursuant to the Plan have been fully discharged unless all of the Plan's participants (excluding any terminated participants and beneficiaries then receiving distributions pursuant to the Plan other than terminated participants entitled to a lump sum distribution) shall consent in writing to an earlier termination. If all of the Plan's participants, terminated participants and beneficiaries do not consent to an early termination, the Trust shall terminate with respect to such consenting participants (and with respect to participants or beneficiaries whose consent is not required) but shall continue in effect with respect to the nonconsenting participants. Upon a termination or partial termination of the Trust, the Trust assets, if any, that remain in the accounts established for participants in the Plan (or for the consenting participants (and participants or beneficiaries whose consent is not required), if fewer than all of the Plan's participants have consented to a termination for which the participants' consent is required) shall be paid or distributed to TCF Financial or its successor in interest.

ARTICLE 10

Each such contribution of Deferred Stock shall be accompanied by a designation of the date or dates on which such Stock shall become transferable by the Trustee as well as any events which may cause acceleration of such dates.

EXHIBIT 10(s)

TRUST AGREEMENT FOR
TCF FINANCIAL SENIOR OFFICER DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

THIS TRUST AGREEMENT, made effective as of the 1st day of October, 2000, by and between TCF Financial Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("TCF Financial") and The First National Bank in Sioux Falls (the "Trustee"),

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, TCF Financial has established the TCF Financial Senior Officer Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Plan"), which plan is now in full force and effect; and

WHEREAS, the Plan is a nonqualified deferred compensation plan for select management of TCF Financial and its subsidiaries (the "Companies" or, individually, the "Company"), and TCF Financial wishes to establish a convenient method for discharging its obligations to pay deferred compensation under said Plan;

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties to this Agreement do hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1

ESTABLISHMENT AND ACCEPTANCE OF TRUST

SECTION 1.1. This Trust shall be known as the "TRUST FOR TCF FINANCIAL SENIOR OFFICER DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN." The Trustee hereby accepts the Trust subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and agrees to hold and administer the assets of the Trust and to execute the Trust in accordance with the provisions hereof. The assets deposited with the Trustee and held pursuant to this Trust are referred to herein collectively as the "Trust Fund."

SECTION 1.2. TCF Financial has obtained a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service that the amounts credited to the accounts of Plan participants pursuant to Article 4 will not be included in their gross income for federal income tax purposes until such time as they are actually paid or otherwise made available to such participants.

ARTICLE 2

CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE TRUST

SECTION 2.1. The Trustee shall receive from time to time such amounts in cash or other property acceptable to the Trustee as the Companies shall contribute pursuant to the terms of the

1

Plan. Each such contribution shall be accompanied by a statement designating the Plan participant on behalf of whom such contribution is being made and, if more than one account has been established for such participant pursuant to Section 4, the account to which such contribution will be credited. The Trustee shall be under no obligation to collect any such contributions, and all responsibility for determining the amount, timing, and types of contributions made to the Trustee shall be upon the Companies or their designees. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as requiring the Companies, or any of them, to make any contributions to the Trust.

SECTION 2.2. All contributions so received and all proceeds, investments, reinvestments, and income thereof in the Trustee's possession shall be held, invested, and, with all disbursements therefrom, accounted for by the Trustee as provided in this Agreement.

SECTION 2.3. No portion of the Trust Fund shall be diverted to or used for any purpose other than the payment of benefits pursuant to the Plan, or for the payment of expenses of administering the Plan and the Trust, or for the payment of expenses incurred in the making and administering of Trust investments pursuant to Sections 4 and 5, until such time as the Companies' obligations to make payments pursuant to the Plan have been fully discharged; PROVIDED, and notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, at all times during the continuance of this Trust, the principal and income of the Trust Fund shall be subject to the claims of the general creditors of the Companies. At any time that the Trustee has actual knowledge, or has determined, that a Company is "Insolvent," it shall deliver any undistributed principal and income credited to the accounts established for participants employed by such Company to satisfy such claims as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. The Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer of each Company shall have the duty to inform the Trustee of that Company's Insolvency. If a Company or any person claiming to be a creditor of a Company alleges in writing to the Trustee that such Company has become Insolvent, and if the Trustee determines such allegation is made in good faith and upon reasonable grounds, the Trustee shall immediately suspend payments from the accounts established for participants employed by such Company and shall hold all assets of such accounts subject to claims of such Company's creditors. The Trustee shall then request, within 10 days, from such Company sufficient information to determine if the Company is Insolvent. If the Company shall fail or refuse to supply sufficient information from which the Trustee may determine if the Company is Insolvent within 30 days of the Trustee's request, the Trustee shall promptly request such information from the party which alleged that the Company is Insolvent. If, on the basis of the information so provided, the Trustee determines that the Company is not Insolvent, it shall immediately resume payments from the accounts established for participants employed by such Company, together with payment of any amounts held back by the Trustee while making a determination as to Insolvency. If the Trustee determines the Company is Insolvent, or if it has not received sufficient information to make a determination as to the Company's solvency, it shall resume such payments only after the Trustee has determined that the Company is no longer Insolvent. Unless the Trustee has actual knowledge of a Company's Insolvency, it shall have no duty to inquire whether any Company is Insolvent. The Trustee may in all events rely on such evidence concerning the Companies' solvency as may be furnished to the Trustee which will give it a reasonable basis for making a determination concerning the Companies' solvency, and

2

nothing in this Agreement shall in any way diminish any right of the Plan's participants or their beneficiaries to pursue their rights as general creditors of the Companies with respect to benefits payable to them pursuant to the Plan. To assist the Trustee with its determinations required hereunder, the Trustee may rely upon the advice of legal counsel and/or other professional counsel retained by the Trustee and such counsel's reasonable fees and expenses shall be payable from the assets of the Trust or, at TCF Financial's election, may be directly paid by TCF Financial and/or one or more of the Companies, PROVIDED that TCF Financial is notified in advance of the Trustee's retention of legal counsel and TCF Financial or the Committee consents thereto, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. A Company shall be considered "Insolvent" for the purposes of this Agreement if it is unable to pay its debts as they mature, or if it is a party as a debtor to a proceeding pending under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, or under any other applicable state or federal bankruptcy law.

ARTICLE 3

PAYMENTS FROM THE TRUST FUND

SECTION 3.1.

a. When a Plan participant or beneficiary becomes entitled to benefits pursuant to the Plan, the committee appointed to administer the Plan (the "Committee") shall notify and direct the Trustees in writing of:

i. the name, social security number, and mailing address of such participant or beneficiary;

ii. the amount and form of the distributions to be made to such participant or beneficiary under the Plan;

iii. the period for which such distributions are to be made; and

iv. the date on which such distributions are to commence.

Upon receipt of such notice and direction, the Trustee shall commence payments due to such participant or beneficiary out of the Trust assets. Such payments shall be debited to the account or accounts established for such participant as provided in Section 4 and shall continue until the earliest of: (A) the date on which the last payment due to such participant or beneficiary has been made; (B) the balance credited to the account or accounts from which such payments are to be made has been reduced to zero; or (C) the Trustee receives written notice and direction from the Committee to cease distributions because a Company will continue such payments out of its general assets.

b. If the Trustee receives written notice and direction from the Committee that a Company will continue any payments due pursuant to this section 3.1 out of its general assets, the Trustee shall discontinue the making of such distributions out of the Trust Fund;

3

PROVIDED, that the Trustee shall resume such distributions (and shall make any payments then in arrears) if it receives written notice and direction from the Committee that the Company will no longer make such payments from its general assets.

c. Distributions due pursuant to this section 3.1 shall be made at such times, and in such form, as may be provided for under the Plan.

d. A "Directing Party" for purposes of this Agreement shall include TCF Financial, the Committee, or any participant or beneficiary authorized by this Agreement to direct the Trustee, as applicable (collectively referred to for purposes of this Agreement as the "Directing Party").

e. Notwithstanding paragraphs a, and b of this Section, the following shall apply on and after a Change in Control (as defined in Section 5(j) of the Plan). If the Trustee receives notification from any source that a distribution may be due to a participant or beneficiary, the Trustee shall promptly request from the Committee all relevant information and directions relative to such distribution(s) and if the Committee shall fail to provide such information and/or directions within 30 days, the Trustee shall accept and act upon any information and/or directions received from the participant or beneficiary with respect to commencement or re-commencement of the payment of distributions to such participant or beneficiary. In connection with providing such information and/or directions, the participant or beneficiary shall be deemed a "Directing Party" for purposes of this Agreement.

f. The Trustee shall be held harmless and shall not be liable for its acts with respect to distributions from the Trust Fund when following the directions of the Committee, or for failure to act in the absence of such directions, nor shall the Trustee be liable or responsible for any payment made by it in good faith and in the exercise of reasonable care without knowledge of the changed condition or status of any payee.

SECTION 3.2. Except to the extent that such amounts are promptly paid by the Companies, the Trustee shall also pay out of the Trust Fund: (a) all broker fees and other expenses incurred in connection with the sale or purchase of investments; (b) all personal property taxes, income taxes, and other taxes of any kind (including taxes payable by the Companies, net of any related tax savings to the Companies) at any time levied or assessed under any present or future law upon, or with respect to, the Trust Fund or any property included in the trust Fund; and (c) its own compensation and all other reasonable expenses of administering the Plan and the Trust, including legal and/or other professional fees reasonably incurred by the Trustee and/or the Trust pursuant to Section 2.3 of this Agreement. Expenses shall be charged to the Trust Fund without allocation among the accounts established pursuant to Section 4, unless an expense is directly attributable to one or more of such accounts, in which case such expense shall be charged directly to such accounts. The Trustee may dispose of Trust investments, if necessary to provide cash assets for the payment of expenses.

SECTION 3.3. As directed by the Committee, the Trustee shall withhold all or any part of any distribution required to be made hereunder as the Committee reasonably deems necessary

4

and proper to protect the Trustee or the Trust Fund against any liability or claim on account of any estate, inheritance, income, or other tax, and the Trustee may discharge any such liability with any part or all of any such payment so withheld.

SECTION 3.4. Distributions pursuant to Section 3.1 shall be deemed to have been sufficiently made if they are sent by first class mail to the participant at the address provided to the Trustee by the Committee. If any such distribution is returned to the Trustee unclaimed, the Trustee shall notify the Committee and shall not make any further distributions to such payee until it receives further directions from the Committee.

ARTICLE 4

INVESTMENTS OF THE TRUST FUND; PARTICIPANTS' ACCOUNTS

SECTION 4.1. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Trustee shall invest, reinvest, and hold the assets of the Trust Fund in such investments as may be permitted by the Committee and as each Plan participant shall direct in writing for his own account. Insofar as the Trustee has acquired an investment for a Plan participant's Account pursuant to such directions, the participant shall have the right to determine confidentially whether such investment will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer, and to direct the Trustee accordingly. The Trustee shall not be restricted to those investments which are authorized by the laws of any State for the investment of trust funds. In addition, the Trustee may, for reasonable periods of time, hold in its banking department any part or all of the Trust Fund uninvested or in cash without liability for interest thereon, pending the investment of such funds or the payment of costs, expenses, or benefits payable under the Plan in the banking department of any corporate Trustee serving hereunder or of any other bank, trust company or other financial institution including those affiliated in ownership with the Trustee. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by it pursuant to such written directions which shall be deemed to be authorized by the Committee and to be directions of the Committee.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.1, the rights of each Plan participant to direct the investment of his account shall be subject to the claims of the general creditors of the Company by which such participant is employed. Any investment direction of a participant shall be made by each December 31 as applicable to the next succeeding calendar year and shall be irrevocable with respect to such calendar year, unless the Committee shall direct otherwise.

SECTION 4.2. The Trustee shall establish one or more separate accounts for each Plan participant, and each such account shall be designated by the name of the participant for whom it has been established. The assets of the Trust Fund initially deposited with the Trustee shall be allocated among these accounts in accordance with the instructions of the Committee. All contributions received by the Trustee on behalf of a participant, and all dividends or distributions made with respect to property allocated to such participant's account, shall then be credited to such account and invested as the participant shall direct. Distributions made by the Trustee to a Plan participant shall only be made from such Participant's account to the extent of the balance thereof.

5

SECTION 4.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Plan participant's right to direct the investment of his account during any period of distribution subsequent to his retirement or disability shall be the same as an active participant's unless the Committee directs otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.3, the rights of each Plan participant to direct the investment of his Account (which directions shall be deemed to be directions of the Committee) shall be subject to the claims of the general creditors of the Company by which such participant is employed.

SECTION 4.4. In the event the Trustee is directed to engage in borrowing on behalf of a Plan participant's Account as directed by the Committee pursuant to Section 5.1(f) hereof, the Trustee shall pledge as security for any such loan all shares of TCF Stock acquired with the proceeds of such loan and shall hold such shares in suspense (unallocated), pursuant to the terms of section 10.c of the Plan, until such time, if any, as the shares are released from pledge. During any time when such shares are held in suspense, they shall not be deemed to be part of the Plan participant's Account in the Trust under this Article 4, except that dividends paid on such shares shall be subject to investment direction of the participant to the extent they exceed principal and/or interest payments on such loan. In the event any shares are released from pledge, the shares shall thereafter be immediately allocated to the participant's Account under this Article 4. In no event shall such shares be credited to or inure to the benefit of the Account of another participant under this Article 4.

ARTICLE 5

POWERS AND DUTIES OF THE TRUSTEE

SECTION 5.1. In addition to the powers and discretions conferred upon the Trustee by any other provision of this Agreement, but subject to the provisions of Article 4 hereof, the Trustee shall have all the usual powers conferred by law on trustees and shall also have the following express powers with respect to the Trust Fund:

a. To retain, to exchange for any other property, to sell in any manner and at any time, to divide, subdivide, partition, mortgage, improve, alter, remodel, repair, and develop in any manner any property, real or personal, to lease such property for any period of time, and to grant options to sell or lease any such property, without regard to restrictions and without the approval of any court.

b. As directed by the Committee, to vote stock held by the Trust Fund personally or by proxy, and to delegate the Trustee's voting powers with respect to such stock to such proxy.

c. To exercise subscription, conversion, and other rights and options as directed by the Committee, and to make payments form the Trust Fund in connection therewith.

6

d. At the direction of the Committee, to take any action and to abstain from taking any action with respect to any reorganization, consolidation, merger, dissolution, recapitalization, refinancing, and any other plan or change affecting any property constituting a part of the Trust Fund, and in connection therewith to delegate its discretionary powers and to pay assessments, subscriptions, and other charges from the Trust Fund.

e. In any manner, and to any extent, to waive, modify, reduce, compromise, release, settle, and extend the time of payment of any claim of whatsoever nature in favor of or against the Trustee or all or any part of the Trust Fund.

f. At the direction of the Committee, to borrow money from any person (including, but not limited to, TCF Financial, its successors, assigns or affiliates) and to pledge assets of the Trust Fund as security for repayment of any such loan. Any money which is borrowed by the Trustee at the direction of the Committee for the purpose of purchasing investments directed by a participant shall be repaid only from the assets of such participant's account and the Trustee shall pledge only the assets of such participant's account as collateral for the loan. For the purposes of Section 2.3, loan repayments shall be deemed to be expenses incurred in connection with the making and administering of Trust investments.

g. Notwithstanding any language in the Trust instrument, neither the Committee nor the Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall have power to start, to enter into or otherwise engage in any business enterprise, or to continue to operate any business enterprise, that becomes part of the Trust estate, if such activity constitutes "carrying on business" as referred to in Section 301.7701-2 of the procedure and administration regulations.

h. The Trustee is expressly authorized to the fullest extent permitted by law to (i) retain the services of U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray Inc. and/or U.S. Bancorp Investments, Inc., each being affiliates of U.S. Bank National Association, and/or any other registered broker-dealer organization hereafter affiliated with U.S. Bank National Association, and any future successors in interest thereto (collectively for the purposes of this paragraph referred to as the "Affiliated Entities"), to provide services to assist in or facilitate the purchase or sale of investment securities in the Trust, (ii) acquire as assets of the Trust shares of mutual funds to which Affiliated Entities provides, for a fee, services in any capacity and (iii) acquire in the Trust any other services or products of any kind or nature from the Affiliated Entities regardless of whether the same or similar services or products are available from other institutions. The Trust may directly or indirectly (through mutual funds fees and charges for example) pay management fees, transaction fees and other commissions to the Affiliated Entities for the services or products provided to the Trust and/or such mutual funds at such Affiliated Entities' standard or published rates without offset (unless required by law) from any fees charged by the Trustee for its services as Trustee. The Trustee may also deal directly with the Affiliated Entities regardless of the capacity in which it is then acting, to purchase, sell, exchange or transfer assets of the Trust even though the Affiliated Entities are receiving compensation or otherwise profiting from such transaction or are acting as a principal in such transaction. Each of the Affiliated Entities is authorized to (i) effect transactions on national securities exchanges for the Trust as directed by

7

the Trustee, and (ii) retain any transactional fees related thereto, consistent with Section 11(a)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and related Rule 11a2-2(T). Included specifically, but not by way of limitation, in the transactions authorized by this provision are transactions in which any of the Affiliated Entities are serving as an underwriter or member of an underwriting syndicate for a security being purchased or are purchasing or selling a security for its own account. In the event the Trustee is directed by a Directing Party (as defined in Section 3.1(d) of this Agreement), the Directing Party shall be authorized, and expressly retains the right hereunder, to direct the Trustee to retain the services of, and conduct transactions with, Affiliated Entities fully in the manner described above.

SECTION 5.2. The Trustee shall have no duties whatsoever except as are specifically set forth as such in this Agreement, and no implied covenant or obligation will be read into this Agreement against the Trustee.

SECTION 5.3. If there is more than one Trustee, the action of all of the Trustees at the time acting hereunder, and any instrument executed by all of the Trustees, shall be considered the action or instrument of the Trustee. Such action may be taken at a meeting or in writing without a meeting, and the Trustees may authorize any one or more of them to perform routine functions, to sign routine papers, and to perform established or customary administrative and ministerial functions.

ARTICLE 6

ACCOUNTS OF THE TRUSTEE; VALUATION OF TRUST FUND

SECTION 6.1. The Trustee shall keep accurate and detailed accounts of all investments, receipts, disbursements, distributions, and other transactions. Such accounts will be open to inspection and audit by the Companies or the Committee, or by any authorized representative thereof, at all reasonable times during business days.

SECTION 6.2. As of each December 31st, and at such other times as the Committee may reasonably require, the Trustee shall determine the fair market value of the Trust Fund, and of each participant's Account, and shall notify the Committee in writing of the fair market value as so determined within 30 days thereof. In addition, for purposes of determining the amount of any lump sum distribution payable pursuant to the Plan, the Trustee shall determine the fair market value of a Plan participant's Accounts as of the last day of the calendar month coincident with or following such participant's termination of employment. The fair market value of the Trust Fund, and of each participant's Account, shall be the fair market value of all securities and other assets then held in the Trust Fund or in such Account, including all income received since the last valuation and income accrued and unpaid at the close of the valuation period. In determining fair market value, the Trustee may rely upon any information that it believes to be reliable, including reports of sales and of bid and asked prices of issues listed on an exchange as disclosed in newspapers of general circulation or in generally recognized financial services, quotations with respect to unlisted issues as supplied by any reputable broker or investment bank, or from any other source that the Trustee believes to be reliable, or the Trustee may make any

8

such determination based upon its own analysis of such records or reports of any company issuing such stock or other securities as are made available to them.

ARTICLE 7

ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS

SECTION 7.1. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Trustee may rely upon the authenticity, truth, and accuracy of, and will be fully protected in acting upon:

a. Any copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors of TCF Financial or any of the Companies, if certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the appropriate Company under its corporate seal.

b. Any notice, direction, certification, approval, or other writing of the Committee, if evidenced by an instrument signed in the name of the Committee by one or more of its members or by the Secretary of TCF Financial.

c. Any notice, direction, certification, or other writing, given by a Plan participant pursuant to Section 4.1 which is believed by the Trustee to be genuine and to have been sent by such participant.

SECTION 7.2. The Trustee shall receive such reasonable compensation as may from time to time be agreed upon by TCF Financial and the Trustee. The Trustee shall be held harmless and shall be fully indemnified by TCF Financial, its successors and assigns from any liability, including reasonable legal and professional services expenses, for any actions directed by a Directing Party (as that term is defined in paragraph d. of Section 3.1).

SECTION 7.3. No person dealing with the Trustee shall be obligated to see to the application of any property paid or delivered to the Trustee or to inquire into the expediency or propriety of any transaction or the Trustee's authority to consummate the same.

Except to the extent that a Plan participant shall have a continuing right to designate a beneficiary of any amount payable in the event of his death, no such participant or beneficiary shall have any right to alienate, anticipate, commute, pledge, encumber, transfer, or assign any of the benefits or payments which he may expect to receive, contingently or otherwise, under the Plan or this Agreement.

ARTICLE 8

SUCCESSION OF TRUSTEES

SECTION 8.1. The Trustee acting hereunder shall be one or more individuals, or one or more qualified corporations, or any combination of individuals and qualified corporations, appointed by TCF Financial to serve in such capacity; PROVIDED, that an individual who is or has been eligible to participate in the Plan shall not be eligible to serve as a Trustee. The number of Trustees shall not be increased or decreased except with the written consent of all of the Plan's participants (excluding any terminated participants and beneficiaries then receiving distributions pursuant to the Plan, other than terminated participants entitled to a lump sum distribution). Upon any determination to increase the number of Trustees, or upon the death, disability, removal, or resignation of any Trustee, the vacancy or vacancies so created shall be filled by such individuals or qualified corporations as may be appointed by the Board of Directors of TCF Financial and approved in writing by all of the Plan's participants (excluding any terminated participants and beneficiaries then receiving distributions pursuant to the Plan, other than terminated participants entitled to a lump sum distribution). If the Board of Directors of TCF Financial and all of the Plan's participants (excluding any terminated participants and beneficiaries then receiving distributions pursuant to the Plan, other than terminated participants entitled to a lump sum distribution) shall fail to agree upon such appointment, and if there is no other Trustee then acting, a successor Trustee or Trustees shall be appointed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Any such appointment shall be effective upon the acceptance thereof in writing by the person so appointed and the delivery of a signed copy of such acceptance to the Trustee then in office.

SECTION 8.2. The Trustee, and any successor to any Trustee, may be removed by the Board of Directors of TCF Financial at any time upon the receipt by Board of Directors of TCF Financial of the consent of all of the Plan's participants (excluding any terminated participants and beneficiaries then receiving distributions pursuant to the Plan, other than terminated participants entitled to a lump sum distribution) to such removal and upon the giving of 30 days' prior written notice to such Trustee and to any other Trustees then acting. Such removal shall be effective on the date specified in such written notice; PROVIDED, that notice shall theretofore have been given to the Trustee of the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees in the manner hereinafter set forth. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Trustee who dies or who becomes eligible to be a participant in the Plan shall automatically cease to be a Trustee, effective as of the date of death of the date such eligibility commences, whichever is applicable.

SECTION 8.3. The Trustee, and any successor to any Trustee, may resign as Trustee hereunder by filing with the Committee a written resignation which shall take effect 30 days after

10

the date of such filing, unless prior thereto a successor Trustee or Trustees shall have been appointed.

SECTION 8.4. All of the provisions set forth herein with respect to the Trustee shall relate to each successor Trustee so appointed with the same force and effect as if such successor Trustee originally had been named herein as a Trustee.

SECTION 8.5. Upon the appointment of a successor Trustee, the removed or resigning Trustee shall transfer and deliver those assets of the Trust Fund in its possession or under its control to the remaining Trustee or Trustees, if any, or otherwise to the successor Trustee or Trustees, together with all such instruments of transfer, conveyance, assignment, and further assurance as the remaining or successor Trustee may reasonably require. Any removed or resigning Trustee shall, at the request of the Committee, or may, in its own discretion, file with the Committee an account of its actions as Trustee. The receipt and approval by the Committee of the final account of the removed or resigning Trustee shall be a full and complete acquittal and discharge from liability of such removed or resigning Trustee, and any successor Trustee shall have no liability whatsoever for the acts or omissions of any prior Trustee in which it did not participate. If the Committee shall fail to express in writing its objections to any account delivered by any removed or resigning Trustee within six months from the date of receipt by the Committee of such account, such account shall be considered as approved by the Committee

ARTICLE 9

AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF THE TRUST

SECTION 9.1. This Agreement may be amended at any time and from time to time, upon the approval of the Board of Directors of TCF Financial; PROVIDED, that, if the amendment is adopted prior to a change in control (as defined in section 5(j) of the Plan), no such amendment shall (without the consent of the participant, including any terminated participants and beneficiaries then receiving distributions) alter any participant's or beneficiary's right to payments of amounts previously credited to such participant's or beneficiary's Account or delay the time or times at which a participant or beneficiary is entitled to receive payments with respect to the participant's Deferred Amounts under the Plan). If the amendment is adopted after a change in control, as defined in section 5(j) of the Plan, the approval of the Board of Directors and the consent of all participants, terminated participants and beneficiaries shall be required for the amendment. In the event that all of the Plan's participants and beneficiaries do not consent to a proposed amendment, such amendment shall not take effect but the Trust assets credited to the accounts of the consenting participants shall be transferred to a separate trust established pursuant to an agreement that is identical to this Agreement in all respects, except that it may include the proposed amendment.

11

SECTION 9.2. This Trust shall not be terminated until such time as all of the Companies' obligations to make distributions pursuant to the Plan have been fully discharged unless all of the Plan's participants (excluding any terminated participants and beneficiaries then receiving distributions pursuant to the Plan other than terminated participants entitled to a lump sum distribution) shall consent in writing to an earlier termination. If all of the Plan's participants, terminated participants and beneficiaries do not consent to an early termination, the Trust shall terminate with respect to such consenting participants (and with respect to participants or beneficiaries whose consent is not required) but shall continue in effect with respect to the nonconsenting participants. Upon a termination or partial termination of the Trust, the Trust assets, if any, that remain in the accounts established for participants in the Plan (or for the consenting participants (and participants or beneficiaries whose consent is not required), if fewer than all of the Plan's participants have consented to a termination for which the participants' consent is required) shall be paid or distributed to TCF Financial or its successor in interest.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The financial review presents management's discussion and analysis of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of TCF Financial Corporation ("TCF" or the "Company"). This review should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and other financial data beginning on page 38.

CORPORATE PROFILE

TCF is the national financial holding company of two federally chartered banks, TCF National Bank headquartered in Minnesota and TCF National Bank Colorado. The Company has 352 banking offices in Minnesota, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Colorado and Indiana. Other affiliates provide leasing, mortgage banking, and annuity, insurance and mutual fund sales.

TCF provides convenient financial services through multiple channels to customers located primarily in the Midwest. TCF has developed products and services designed to meet the needs of all consumers with a primary focus on middle- and lower-income individuals. The Company focuses on attracting and retaining customers through service and convenience, including branches that are open seven days a week and on most holidays, extensive full-service supermarket branch and automated teller machine ("ATM") networks, and telephone and Internet banking. TCF's philosophy is to generate top-line revenue growth (net interest income and fees and other revenues) through business lines that emphasize higher yielding assets and lower interest-cost deposits. The Company's growth strategies include de novo branch expansion and the development of new products and services designed to build on its core businesses and expand into complementary products and services through emerging businesses and strategic initiatives.

TCF's core businesses are comprised of traditional bank branches, ATMs, and commercial, consumer and mortgage lending. TCF emphasizes the "Totally Free" checking account as its anchor account, which provides opportunities to cross sell other account relationships and generate additional fee income. TCF's strategy is to originate high credit quality, primarily secured loans and earn profits through lower interest-cost deposits. Commercial loans are generally made on local properties or to local customers, and are virtually all secured. TCF's largest core lending business is its consumer home equity loan portfolio, comprised of fixed- and variable-rate closed-end loans and lines of credit.

TCF's emerging businesses and products are comprised of supermarket bank branches, including supermarket consumer lending, and leasing and equipment finance, debit cards, and Internet and college campus banking. TCF's most significant de novo strategy has been its supermarket branch expansion. The Company opened its first supermarket branch in 1988, and now has 213 supermarket branches, with more than $1 billion in deposits. TCF has the nation's fourth largest supermarket branch network. See "Financial Condition-- Deposits." TCF entered the leasing business through its 1997 acquisition of Winthrop Resources Corporation ("Winthrop"), a leasing company that leases computers and other business-essential equipment to companies nationwide. The Company expanded its leasing operations in September 1999 through TCF Leasing, Inc. ("TCF Leasing"), a de novo general equipment leasing business with a focus on middle-market companies, truck and trailer leasing and financing and lease discounting. See "Financial Condition - Loans and Leases." These businesses are among TCF's fastest growing operations. The Company's VISA debit card program has also grown significantly since its inception in 1996. TCF is the 16th largest VISA debit card issuer in the United States according to VISA, with over 1 million cards outstanding.

TCF's strategic initiatives are businesses that complement the Company's core and emerging businesses. TCF's new products have been significant contributors to the growth in fees and other revenues generated by checking accounts and loan products. Currently, TCF's strategic initiatives include several new card products designed to provide additional convenience to deposit and loan customers and to further leverage its ATM network. The Company is also planning to launch a discount brokerage business and additional insurance products in 2001.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY - TCF reported net income of $186.2 million for 2000, up from $166 million for 1999 and $156.2 million for 1998. Diluted earnings per common share was $2.35 for 2000, compared with $2.00 for 1999 and $1.76 for 1998. Return on average assets was 1.72% in 2000, compared with 1.61% in 1999 and 1.62% in 1998. Return on average realized common equity was 21.53% in 2000, compared with 19.83% in 1999 and 17.51% in 1998. Diluted cash earnings per common share, which excludes amortization and reduction of goodwill net of applicable income tax benefits, was $2.44 for 2000, compared with $2.10 for 1999 and $1.88 for 1998. On the same basis, cash return on average assets was 1.79% for 2000, compared with 1.69% for 1999 and 1.74% for 1998, and cash return on average realized common equity was 22.40% for 2000, compared with 20.79% for 1999 and 18.74% for 1998.

TCF has significantly expanded its banking franchise in recent periods and had 352 banking branches at December 31, 2000. In the past three years, TCF opened 164 new branches, of which 154 were supermarket branches. This expansion includes TCF's January 1998 acquisition of 76 branches and 178 ATMs in Jewel-Osco stores in the Chicago area. TCF anticipates opening between 30 and 40 new branches during 2001, including 25 to 30 supermarket branches and 5 to 10 traditional branches.

21

In December 1998, TCF restructured its consumer finance company operations, including the discontinuation of indirect automobile lending, the consolidation of offices and a renewed focus on home equity lending. During 1999, $139.4 million of consumer finance automobile loans and $14.8 million of related reserves were transferred to loans held for sale in connection with the sales of these loans. Losses of $1.4 million were recognized in connection with these sales, which are included in gain on sales of loans held for sale.

OPERATING SEGMENT RESULTS - Banking, leasing and equipment finance and mortgage banking comprise TCF's reportable operating segments. The following summarizes the 2000 and 1999 results for these segments.

BANKING

Banking, comprised of deposits and investment products, commercial lending, consumer lending, residential lending and treasury services, reported net income of $164.3 million for 2000, up 8.4% from $151.5 million in 1999. Net interest income for 2000 was $397.9 million, essentially flat with 1999. The provision for credit losses totaled $9.6 million in 2000, down from $15.1 million in 1999. The decrease reflects a reduction in provisions recognized in connection with TCF's discontinued consumer finance automobile lending activity. Non-interest income (excluding title insurance revenues, a business TCF sold in 1999, and gains on asset sales) totaled $274.4 million, up 17.8% from $233 million in 1999. This improvement was primarily due to increased fees and service charges and electronic funds transfer revenues, reflecting TCF's expanded retail banking operations and customer base. Non-interest expense (excluding the amortization of goodwill and deposit base intangibles) totaled $398.9 million, up 1.2% from $394.3 million in 1999. The increase was primarily due to the costs associated with TCF's continued retail banking expansion, including de novo supermarket branches, offset by cost savings from discontinued businesses and sales of underperforming branches.

LEASING AND EQUIPMENT FINANCE

Leasing and equipment finance, an operating segment comprised of TCF's wholly owned subsidiaries Winthrop and TCF Leasing, provides a broad range of comprehensive lease and equipment finance products. This operating segment reported net income of $23 million for 2000, up 19.1% from $19.4 million in 1999. Net interest income for 2000 was $30.4 million, up 20.6% from $25.2 million in 1999. Leasing and equipment finance's provision for credit losses totaled $5.2 million in 2000, up from $1.9 million in 1999, primarily as a result of the significant growth in the portfolio. Non-interest income totaled $38.5 million in 2000, up 35% from $28.5 million in 1999. Non-interest expense (excluding the amortization of goodwill) totaled $25.8 million in 2000, up 35.4% from $19.1 million in 1999. These increases reflect the $363.8 million, or 73.8%, increase in TCF's leasing and equipment finance portfolio during 2000. As previously noted, TCF expanded its leasing operations in September 1999 through TCF Leasing, a de novo leasing business.

MORTGAGE BANKING

Mortgage banking activities include the origination and purchase of residential mortgage loans, generally for sale to third parties with servicing retained. This operating segment reported net income of $1.2 million for 2000, compared with a net loss of $1.1 million for 1999. Non-interest income (excluding gains on sales of loan servicing) totaled $25.5 million, up 16.8% from $21.8 million in 1999. This increase is primarily due to a $5.6 million increase in service fees on mortgage loans. During 2000, TCF purchased the bulk servicing rights on $933 million of residential mortgage loans. In addition, the inter-segment residential loan service fee charged to the banking segment was increased to a market rate in 2000. Non-interest expense totaled $29.2 million, down 10.3% from $32.6 million in 1999. During 2000, TCF's mortgage banking operation consolidated and streamlined its operations in various states. TCF's mortgage banking operation periodically purchases and sells loan servicing rights depending on market conditions.

CONSOLIDATED INCOME STATEMENT ANALYSIS

NET INTEREST INCOME - Net interest income, which is the difference between interest earned on loans and leases, securities available for sale, investments and other interest-earning assets (interest income), and interest paid on deposits and borrowings (interest expense), represented 56.2% of TCF's revenue in 2000. Net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets is referred to as the net interest margin, expressed as a percentage. Net interest income and net interest margin are affected by changes in interest rates, loan pricing strategies and competitive conditions, the volume and the mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and the level of non-performing assets.

Net interest income was $438.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2000, compared with $424.2 million in 1999 and $425.7 million in 1998. This represents an increase of 3.4% in 2000, compared with a decrease of .4% in 1999 and an increase of 8.2% in 1998. Total average interest-earning assets increased 6.1% in 2000, following increases of 7.9% in 1999 and 16.2% in 1998. The net interest margin for 2000 was 4.35%, compared with 4.47% in 1999 and 4.84% in 1998.

==============================================================================================================

(1) Changes attributable to the combined impact of volume and rate have been allocated proportionately to the change due to volume and the change due to rate.

Changes in net interest income are dependent upon the movement of interest rates, the volume and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and the level of non-performing assets. Achieving net interest margin growth is dependent on TCF's ability to generate higher-yielding assets and lower-interest cost retail deposits. If variable index rates (e.g., prime) were to decline, TCF may experience additional compression of its net interest margin depending on the timing and amount of any reductions, as it is possible that interest rates paid on retail deposits will not decline as quickly, or to the same extent, as the decline in the yield on interest-rate-sensitive assets such as variable-rate home equity and commercial loans. Competition for checking, savings and money market deposits, important sources of lower cost funds for TCF, is intense. TCF may also experience compression in its net interest margin if the rates paid on deposits increase, or as a result of new pricing strategies and lower rates offered on loan products in order to respond to competitive conditions. See "Financial Condition - Market Risk - Interest-Rate Risk" and "Financial Condition - Deposits."

In 2000, TCF's net interest income increased $14.3 million, or 3.4%, and total average interest-earning assets increased by $578.7 million, or 6.1%, compared with 1999 levels. TCF's net interest income improved by $32.8 million due to volume changes and decreased $18.5 million due to rate changes. The favorable impact of the growth in consumer volumes and rates, leasing and equipment finance volumes, and commercial real estate volumes

24

and rates was partially offset by decreased consumer finance automobile and securities available for sale volumes and increased securities sold under repurchase agreement volumes. Interest income increased $74.6 million in 2000, reflecting increases of $55.2 million due to volume and $19.4 million due to rate changes. Interest expense increased $60.3 million in 2000, reflecting increases of $37.9 million due to a higher cost of funds and $22.4 million due to volume. The increase in net interest income due to volume changes reflects the increase in total average interest-earning assets and an increase in the balance of non-interest bearing deposits. The decrease in net interest income due to rate changes reflects a higher cost of funds.

In 1999, TCF's net interest income decreased $1.5 million, or .4%, and total average interest-earning assets increased by $692 million, or 7.9%, compared with 1998 levels. TCF's net interest income improved by $15.5 million due to volume changes. The increase in net interest income due to volume reflects the increase in total average interest-earning assets. Net interest income decreased $17 million due to rate changes in 1999, reflecting loan prepayments and the discontinuation of TCF's higher-yielding consumer finance business. TCF's 1999 net interest income and net interest margin were negatively impacted, as compared with 1998, by $17.4 million or 11 basis points due to the discontinuation and sale of TCF's higher-yielding consumer finance automobile business. The unfavorable impact of the discontinuation of TCF's consumer finance automobile business, decreased yields on loans and leases resulting, in part, from the implementation of new tiered pricing for home equity loans in early 1999, and increased borrowing volumes was partially offset by increased securities available for sale and loan and lease volumes, decreased rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities and decreased certificate of deposit volumes. Interest income increased $3.2 million in 1999, reflecting an increase of $45.9 million due to volume, partially offset by a decrease of $42.7 million due to rate changes. Interest expense increased $4.7 million in 1999, reflecting an increase of $30.4 million due to volume, partially offset by a decrease of $25.7 million due to a lower cost of funds.

In 1998, TCF's net interest income increased $32.1 million, or 8.2%, primarily due to the 1997 acquisition of Standard Financial, Inc. ("Standard"), a community-oriented thrift institution located in Chicago, Illinois, and to the growth of lower interest-cost retail deposits. Total average interest-earning assets increased by $1.2 billion, or 16.2%, from 1997 levels. TCF's net interest income improved by $47.6 million due to volume changes and decreased $15.5 million due to rate changes. The favorable impact of the growth in residential real estate, consumer and commercial business loan and lease financing volumes, decreased volumes of securities sold under repurchase agreements and federal funds purchased and decreased rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities was partially offset by decreased yields on securities available for sale and consumer and residential real estate loans, and increased certificate of deposit and Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") advance volumes. TCF's net interest margin for 1998 was negatively impacted by Standard's lower net interest margin, loan prepayments and purchases of mortgage-backed securities. Interest income increased $66.3 million in 1998, reflecting an increase of $92.4 million due to volume, partially offset by a decrease of $26.1 million due to rate changes. Interest expense increased $34.1 million in 1998, reflecting an increase of $44.8 million due to volume, partially offset by a decrease of $10.6 million due to a lower cost of funds.

PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES - TCF provided $14.8 million for credit losses in 2000, compared with $16.9 million in 1999 and $23.3 million in 1998. The 1998 provision reflects significant provisions recognized related to TCF's discontinued consumer finance automobile lending activity. The allowance for loan and lease losses totaled $66.7 million at December 31, 2000, compared with $55.8 million at December 31, 1999, and was 189% of non-accrual loans and leases. See "Financial Condition - Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses."

NON-INTEREST INCOME - Non-interest income is a significant source of revenues for TCF, representing 43.8% of total revenues in 2000, and is an important factor in TCF's results of operations. Providing a wide range of retail banking services is an integral component of TCF's business philosophy and a major strategy for generating additional non-interest income. Excluding gains on sales of securities available for sale, loan servicing, branches, subsidiaries, a joint venture interest and title insurance revenues, non-interest income increased $49.6 million, or 17.8%, during 2000 to $328.8 million. The increase was primarily due to increased fees and service charges and electronic funds transfer and leasing revenues, reflecting TCF's expanded retail banking and leasing operations and customer base. The increases in fees and service charges and electronic funds transfer revenues reflect the increase in the number of retail checking accounts, which totaled 1,131,000 accounts at December 31, 2000, up from 1,032,000 at December 31, 1999. The average annual fee revenue per retail checking account was $190 for 2000, compared with $168 for 1999.

===============================================================================================================

(1) Title insurance business was sold in 1999.

Fees and service charges increased $27.6 million, or 18.2%, in 2000 and $24 million, or 18.8%, in 1999, primarily as a result of expanded retail banking activities. These increases reflect the increase in the number of retail checking accounts and per account revenues noted above. Included in fees and service charges are fees of $10.3 million, $10.3 million and $13.7 million received for the servicing of mortgage loans owned by others during 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. At December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, TCF was servicing mortgage loans for others with aggregate unpaid principal balances of $4 billion, $2.9 billion and $3.7 billion, respectively. These mortgage loans had a weighted-average coupon rate of 7.42% at December 31, 2000. As previously noted, TCF purchased the bulk servicing rights on $933 million of residential loans during 2000.

Electronic funds transfer revenues increased $11 million, or 16.3%, in 2000 and $16.6 million, or 32.8%, in 1999. These increases reflect TCF's efforts to provide banking services through its ATM network and debit cards. Included in electronic funds transfer revenues are debit card interchange fees of $28.7 million, $19.5 million and $11.1 million for 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The significant increase in these fees reflects an increase in the distribution of debit cards, and an increase in utilization resulting from TCF's phone card promotion which rewards customers with long distance minutes based on usage. TCF had 1.2 million ATM cards outstanding at December 31, 2000, of which 1.1 million were debit cards. At December 31, 1999, TCF had 1.1 million ATM cards outstanding of which 929,000 were debit cards. The percentage of TCF's checking account base with debit cards increased to 74.8% during 2000, from 71.6% during 1999. The percentage of these customers who were active debit card users increased to 49.3% during 2000, from 44.6% during 1999. The average number of transactions per month on active debit cards increased to 9.99 during 2000, from 9.01 during 1999. TCF had 1,384 ATMs in its network at December 31, 2000, compared with 1,406 ATMs at December 31, 1999. Electronic funds transfer revenues in future periods may be negatively impacted by pending legislative proposals which, if enacted and not judicially restrained, could limit ATM fees.

Leasing revenues increased $9.9 million in 2000 to $38.4 million, following a decrease of $2.8 million in 1999 to $28.5 million. The volume and type of new lease transactions and the resulting revenues may fluctuate from period to period based upon factors not within the control of TCF, such as economic conditions. The increase in total leasing revenues for 2000 is primarily due to increased revenue of $6.8 million from sales-type lease transactions and an increase of $1.7 million in operating lease transactions. The decrease in total leasing revenues for 1999 is primarily due to decreased revenue of $4 million from sales-type lease transactions. TCF's ability to grow its lease portfolio is dependent upon its ability to place new equipment in service. In an adverse economic environment, there may be a decline in the demand for some types of equipment which TCF leases, resulting in a decline in the amount of new equipment being placed into service.

Investments and insurance income, consisting principally of commissions on sales of annuities and mutual funds, decreased $2.6 million to $12.3 million in 2000, following an increase of $923,000

26

to $14.8 million in 1999. Annuity and mutual fund sales volumes totaled $170.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2000, compared with $230.5 million during 1999. The decreased volumes during 2000 reflect the impact of lower yields offered by insurance companies on annuity products, and the volatility of the stock market. Sales of annuities and mutual funds may fluctuate from period to period, and future sales levels will depend upon general economic conditions and investor preferences. Sales of annuities will also depend upon continued favorable tax treatment and may be negatively impacted by the level of interest rates.

Gains on sales of loans held for sale decreased $735,000 in 2000, following a decrease of $2.8 million in 1999. Residential mortgage loan sales volumes totaled $512.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2000, compared with $360.3 million for the same period of 1999. Education loan sales volumes totaled $100.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2000, compared with $97.1 million for the same period of 1999. During 1999, TCF recognized losses of $1.4 million on sales of $139.4 million of its consumer finance automobile loan portfolio. See "Financial Condition - Loans Held for Sale" and "Financial Condition - Loans and Leases." Gains or losses on sales of loans held for sale may fluctuate significantly from period to period due to changes in interest rates and volumes, and results in any period related to these transactions may not be indicative of results which will be obtained in future periods.

Sales of securities available for sale produced gains of $3.2 million and $2.2 million in 1999 and 1998, respectively. There were no sales of securities available for sale in 2000. Gains of $3.1 million and $2.4 million were recognized on the sales of $344.6 million and $200.4 million of third-party loan servicing rights in 1999 and 1998, respectively. No similar activity occurred during 2000. TCF may, from time to time, sell securities available for sale and loan servicing rights depending on market conditions.

During the 1999 fourth quarter, TCF sold its title insurance and appraisal operations and recognized a gain of $5.5 million, and will recognize a deferred gain of up to $15 million over the ensuing five years based upon TCF's use of services. During 2000, $4.5 million of this deferred gain was earned and recognized in other non-interest income. Title insurance revenues are no longer recognized by TCF as a result of its sale of these operations. Title insurance revenues totaled $15.4 million in 1999 and $20.2 million in 1998.

During 2000, TCF recognized gains of $12.8 million on the sales of six branches with $95.7 million in deposits, compared with gains of $12.2 million on the sales of eight branches with $116.7 million in deposits during 1999. TCF recognized gains of $18.6 million on the sales of 14 branches with $234 million in deposits and $5.6 million on the sale of its joint venture interest in Burnet Home Loans during 1998. TCF periodically sells branches that it considers to be underperforming, or have limited growth potential, and may continue to do so in the future, including one planned branch sale during the first quarter of 2001.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE - Non-interest expense increased $9.7 million, or 2.1%, in 2000, and $24.1 million, or 5.6%, in 1999, compared with the respective prior years. The following table presents the components of non-interest expense:

                                                          Year Ended December 31,               Percentage Increase (Decrease)

==============================================================================================================================

Compensation and employee benefits, representing 51.8% and 52.8% of total non-interest expense in 2000 and 1999, respectively, increased $491,000, or .2%, in 2000, and $21.7 million, or 10%, in 1999. The increases were primarily due to costs associated with expanded retail banking and leasing activities, including the opening of a total of 164 new branches in the past three years, offset by cost savings from discontinued businesses.

Occupancy and equipment expenses increased $1.3 million in 2000 and $2.3 million in 1999. The increases were primarily due to TCF's expanded retail banking and leasing activities, offset by branch sales.

Advertising and promotion expenses increased $2.2 million in 2000 following a decrease of $2.6 million in 1999. The increase in 2000 was primarily due to promotional expenses associated with the TCF Express Phone Card, where customers earn free long distance minutes for use of their debit cards. During 2000, TCF awarded over 38.6 million minutes under this promotion. The decrease in 1999 reflected a decrease in direct mail expenses relating to the promotion of consumer finance loan products.

27

Amortization of goodwill and other intangibles decreased $688,000 in 2000 and $710,000 in 1999. The decrease in 2000 was primarily due to reduced amortization of deposit base intangibles. The write-off of goodwill associated with branch sales, which is reported as a component of gain on sales of branches, totaled $464,000 in 1999 and $3.3 million in 1998. No such write-offs occurred during 2000.

Other non-interest expense increased $6.4 million, or 5.7%, in 2000 and $3.4 million, or 3.1%, in 1999. The increases primarily reflect costs associated with expanded retail banking and leasing activities, including increases in deposit account losses. A summary of other expense is presented in Note 19 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

INCOME TAXES - TCF recorded income tax expense of $116.6 million in 2000, compared with $107.1 million in 1999 and $109.1 million in 1998. Income tax expense represented 38.5% of income before income tax expense during 2000, compared with 39.2% and 41.1% in 1999 and 1998, respectively. The lower tax rates in 2000 and 1999 reflect lower state income taxes, and the impact of relatively lower non-deductible expenses.

Further detail on income taxes is provided in Note 11 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
CONDITION ANALYSIS

INVESTMENTS - Total investments, which include interest-bearing deposits with banks, federal funds sold, FHLB stock, Federal Reserve Bank stock and other investments, decreased $14.1 million in 2000 to $134.1 million at December 31, 2000. The decrease primarily reflects a decrease of $20 million in interest-bearing deposits with banks, partially offset by an increase of $5.8 million in FHLB stock. TCF had no non-investment grade debt securities (junk bonds) and there were no open trading account or investment option positions as of December 31, 2000. TCF is required to invest in FHLB stock in proportion to its level of borrowings from the FHLB.

SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE - Securities available for sale are carried at fair value with the unrealized gains or losses, net of deferred income taxes, reported as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), which is a separate component of stockholders' equity. Securities available for sale decreased $117.8 million during 2000 to $1.4 billion at December 31, 2000. The decrease reflects payment and prepayment activity, partially offset by purchases of $314,000 of securities available for sale. At December 31, 2000, TCF's securities available-for-sale portfolio included $1.3 billion and $85.8 million of fixed-rate and adjustable-rate mortgage-backed securities, respectively. Securities available for sale totaled $1.5 billion at December 31, 1999. Net unrealized pre-tax losses on securities available for sale totaled $15.6 million at December 31, 2000, compared with net unrealized pre-tax losses of $75.3 million at December 31, 1999. TCF has no plans to sell these securities and it is not anticipated that these unrealized losses will be realized.

LOANS HELD FOR SALE - Residential real estate and education loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or market. Education loans held for sale increased $9.3 million and residential real estate loans held for sale increased $19.5 million from year-end 1999, and totaled $153.2 million and $74.5 million, respectively, at December 31, 2000. As previously noted, $139.4 million of consumer finance automobile loans and $14.8 million of related allowances were transferred to loans held for sale during 1999 and were subsequently sold during 1999. There were no consumer finance automobile loans classified as held for sale at December 31, 2000. See "Loans and Leases."

LOANS AND LEASES - The following table sets forth information about loans and leases held in TCF's portfolio, excluding loans held for sale:

Loans and leases increased $651 million from year-end 1999 to $8.5 billion at December 31, 2000, reflecting increases of $363.8 million, $298.4 million and $175.6 million in leasing and equipment finance, and commercial real estate and consumer loans, respectively, partially offset by a decrease of $245.8 million in residential real estate loans. At December 31, 2000, TCF's residential real estate loan portfolio was comprised of $1.6 billion of fixed-rate loans and $2.1 billion of adjustable-rate loans. Management expects that the balance in the residential loan portfolio will continue to decline, which will provide funding for anticipated growth in other loan categories.

Consumer loans increased $175.6 million from year-end 1999 to $2.2 billion at December 31, 2000, reflecting an increase of $193.9 million in home equity loans, partially offset by a decrease of $17.1 million in automobile loans. Approximately 68% of the home equity loan portfolio at December 31, 2000 consists of closed-end loans. In addition, 47% of this portfolio carries a variable interest rate.

In December 1998, TCF restructured its consumer finance company operations, including the discontinuation of indirect automobile lending and a renewed focus on home equity lending. In response to intensifying price competition, in early 1999 TCF implemented a tiered pricing structure for its home equity loans. As a result of the new programs, TCF experienced an increase in the loan-to-value ratios on new home equity loans. Many of these loans are secured by a first lien on the home and include an advance to pay off an existing first lien mortgage loan. These loans may have balances exceeding $100,000. These loans may carry a higher level of credit risk than loans with a lower loan-to-value ratio. Higher loan-to-value ratio loans are made to more creditworthy customers based on credit scoring models. The following table sets forth additional information about the loan-to-value ratios for TCF's home equity loan portfolio:

                                                                                       At December 31,

(1) Loan-to-value is based on the loan amount (current outstanding balance on closed-end loans and the total commitment on lines of credit) plus deferred loan origination costs net of fees and refundable insurance premiums, if any, plus the original amount of senior liens, if any. Property values represent the most recent appraised value or property tax assessment value known to TCF. In most cases this value was obtained at the loan origination date and does not reflect subsequent appreciation or depreciation in property values, if any.

(2) Amount reflects the total outstanding loan balance. The portion of the loan balance in excess of 100% of the property value is substantially less.

The following table summarizes TCF's commercial real estate loan portfolio by property type:

Commercial real estate loans increased $298.4 million from year-end 1999 to $1.4 billion at December 31, 2000. Commercial business loans increased $59.1 million in 2000 to $410.4 million at December 31, 2000. TCF is seeking to expand its commercial business and commercial real estate lending activity to borrowers located in its primary midwestern markets. At December 31, 2000, approximately 87% of TCF's commercial real estate loans outstanding were secured by properties located in its primary markets. In addition, approximately 96% of TCF's commercial business and commercial real estate loans are secured either by properties or underlying business assets. At December 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, there were no commercial real estate loans with terms that have been modified in troubled debt restructurings included in performing loans.

Leasing and equipment finance increased $363.8 million from year-end 1999 to $856.5 million at December 31, 2000. At December 31, 2000, $165.8 million or 25.4% of TCF's lease portfolio was funded on a non-recourse basis with other banks and consequently TCF retains no credit risk on such amounts. This compares with non-recourse fundings of $178.4 million or 38.9% at December 31, 1999. Total loan and lease originations for TCF's leasing business were $648.1 million during 2000, compared with $327.3 million in 1999 and $199.6 million in 1998. At December 31, 2000, the backlog of approved transactions related to TCF's leasing business totaled $165.6 million, compared with $125.2 million at December 31, 1999. The increase in the leasing and equipment finance portfolio is primarily due to the de novo expansion activity of TCF Leasing, which began in 1999. Included in this portfolio at December 31, 2000 are $144.4 million of loans and leases secured by trucks and trailers, compared with $34.1 million at December 31, 1999. TCF's expanded leasing activity is subject to the risk of cyclical downturns and other adverse economic developments affecting these industries and markets. TCF Leasing has originated most of its portfolio during 2000, and consequently the performance of this portfolio may not be reflective of future results and credit quality.

Loan and lease originations were as follows:

                                                                                          Year Ended December 31,

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN AND LEASE LOSSES - Credit risk is the risk of loss from a customer default. TCF has in place a process to identify and manage its credit risk. The process includes initial credit review and approval, periodic monitoring to measure compliance with credit agreements and internal credit policies, monitoring changes in the risk ratings of loans and leases, identification of problem loans and leases and special procedures for collection of problem loans and leases. The risk of loss is difficult to quantify and is subject to fluctuations in values and general economic conditions and other factors. See Notes 1 and 7 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information concerning TCF's allowance for loan and lease losses.

30

At December 31, 2000, the allowance for loan and lease losses totaled $66.7 million, compared with $55.8 million at December 31, 1999. The increase is due to growth in loans and leases, primarily commercial business, commercial real estate and leasing and equipment finance, which carry higher credit risk than residential real estate loans. The allocation of TCF's allowance for loan and lease losses, including general and specific loss allocations, is as follows:

                                                                                   Allocations as a Percentage of Total

(1) Net charge-offs (recoveries) during the year then ended as a percentage of related average loans and leases. N.A. Not applicable.

The allocated allowance balances for TCF's residential, consumer and commercial business loan portfolios at December 31, 2000 reflect the Company's continued strengthening of its credit quality and related low level of net loan charge-offs for these portfolios. The increase in the allocated allowance for leasing and equipment finance losses reflects the previously mentioned increase in the percentage of leases that are internally funded, and portfolio growth. The allocated allowances for these portfolios do not reflect any significant changes in estimation methods or assumptions.

Net loan and lease charge-offs were $3.9 million in 2000, compared with $26.4 million in 1999 and $25.9 million in 1998. TCF has experienced a significant decrease in the level of net loan charge-offs related to its consumer finance automobile portfolio, a large portion of which was sold or liquidated in 1999. As a result, the ratio of annualized net loan charge-offs to average loans outstanding for TCF's consumer portfolio was .12% for the year ended December 31, 2000, compared with 1.30% for the year ended December 31, 1999. Included in the net loan and lease charge-offs for 2000 were $1.5 million of net recoveries related to the consumer finance automobile loans, compared with net charge-offs of $21.2 million for 1999. The allowance for loan and lease losses as a percentage of net loan and lease charge-offs during the year was 1,728% at December 31, 2000, compared with 211% at December 31, 1999 and 310% at December 31, 1998. The increase in this ratio reflects the significant decrease in net loan charge-offs related to TCF's consumer finance automobile portfolio, including a significant level of net recoveries. The increase in TCF's allowance for loan and lease losses as a percentage of total loans and leases at December 31, 2000 reflects the impact of the significant growth in the higher-risk commercial loan and lease portfolios during the past year.

NON-PERFORMING ASSETS - Non-performing assets (principally non-accrual loans and leases and other real estate owned) totaled $46.7 million at December 31, 2000, up $11.3 million from $35.4 million at December 31, 1999. The increase in total non-performing assets reflects increases of $9.4 million in non-accrual leasing and equipment finance and $4.2 million in commercial real estate non-accrual loans, partially offset by a decrease of $2.7 million in commercial business non-accrual loans. Included in non-accrual leasing and equipment finance at December 31, 2000 are $3.9 million of leases that have been funded on a non-recourse basis by third-party financial institutions. Approximately 60% of non-performing assets consist of, or are secured by, residential real estate. The accrual of interest income is generally discontinued when loans and leases become 90 days or more past due with respect to either principal or interest (150 days for loans secured by residential real estate) unless such loans and leases are adequately secured and in the process of collection.

Non-performing assets are summarized in the following table:

                                                                                   At December 31,

====================================================================================================================================

TCF's over 30-day delinquency rate on total consumer loans was .93% at December 31, 2000, unchanged from year-end 1999. TCF's over 30-day delinquency on total leasing and equipment finance increased to 1.83% at December 31, 2000 from .08% at December 31, 1999. The increase can be attributed to the significant increase in activity in the leasing operations during 2000. Included in delinquent leasing and equipment finance at December 31, 2000 are $2.4 million of leases that have been funded on a non-recourse basis by third-party financial institutions. Contributing to the increase in leasing and equipment finance delinquencies is an increase in delinquencies for the truck and trailer segment during the fourth quarter of 2000. At December 31, 2000, approximately $9.6 million of the truck and trailer segment was over 30-days delinquent. The rise in fuel prices has had an adverse impact on the owner/operator trucking industry. These operators may be experiencing financial difficulties and may be unable to meet their lease obligations. Management continues to monitor the leasing and equipment finance and consumer loan portfolios, which will generally have higher delinquencies than other categories. See "Loans and Leases."

In addition to the non-accrual loans and leases, there were commercial real estate and commercial business loans and lease financings with an aggregate principal balance of $19.9 million outstanding at December 31, 2000 for which management has concerns regarding the ability of the borrowers to meet existing repayment terms. This amount consists of loans and leases that were classified for regulatory purposes as substandard or doubtful, or were to borrowers that currently are experiencing financial difficulties or that management believes may experience financial difficulties in the future. This compares with $33 million of such loans and leases at December 31, 1999. Although these loans and leases are secured by commercial real estate or other corporate assets, they may be subject to future modifications of their terms or may become non-performing. Management monitors the performance and classification of such loans and leases and the financial condition of these borrowers.

LIQUIDITY MANAGEMENT - TCF manages its liquidity position to ensure that the funding needs of depositors and borrowers are met promptly and in a cost-effective manner. Asset liquidity arises from the ability to convert assets to cash as well as from the maturity of assets. Liability liquidity results from the ability of TCF to attract a diversity of funding sources to meet funding requirements promptly.

Deposits are the primary source of TCF's funds for use in lending and for other general business purposes. In addition to deposits, TCF derives funds primarily from loan and lease repayments, proceeds from the discounting of leases, advances from the FHLB and proceeds from reverse repurchase borrowing agreements. Deposit inflows and outflows are significantly influenced by general interest rates, money market conditions, competition for funds and other factors. TCF's deposit inflows and outflows have been and will continue to be affected by these factors. See "FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION." Borrowings may be used to compensate for reductions in normal sources of funds, such as deposit inflows at less than projected levels, net deposit outflows or to support expanded activities. Historically, TCF has borrowed primarily from the FHLB, from institutional sources under reverse repurchase agreements and, to a lesser extent, from other sources. See "Borrowings."

Potential sources of liquidity for TCF Financial Corporation (parent company only) include cash dividends from TCF's wholly owned bank subsidiaries, issuance of equity securities, borrowings under the Company's $135 million bank line of credit and commercial paper program, and interest income. TCF's subsidiary banks' ability to pay dividends or make other capital distributions to TCF is restricted by regulation and may require regulatory approval. Undistributed earnings and profits at December 31, 2000 includes approximately $134.4 million for which no provision for federal income tax has been made. This amount represents earnings appropriated to bad debt reserves and deducted for federal income tax purposes, and is generally not available for payment of cash dividends or other distributions to shareholders without incurring an income tax liability based on the amount of earnings removed and current tax rates.

DEPOSITS - Checking, savings and money market deposits are an important source of lower cost funds and fee income for TCF. Deposits totaled $6.9 billion at December 31, 2000, up $307 million from December 31, 1999. As previously noted, TCF sold six branches with $95.7 million of deposits during 2000. Lower interest-cost checking, savings and money market deposits totaled $4.1 billion, up $373.2 million from December 31, 1999, and comprised 59.3% of total deposits at December 31, 2000. The average balance of these deposits for 2000 was $3.9 billion, an increase of $134.7 million over the $3.7 billion average balance for 1999. Higher interest-cost certificates of deposit decreased $66.2 million from December 31, 1999. The Company's weighted-average rate for deposits, including non-interest bearing deposits, increased to 3.12% at December 31, 2000, from 2.71% at December 31, 1999, due to increases in general levels of interest rates.

As previously noted, TCF continued to expand its supermarket banking franchise during 2000, opening 18 new branches during the year. TCF now has 213 supermarket branches. During the past year, the number of deposit accounts in TCF's supermarket branches increased 17.1% to over 646,000 accounts and the balances increased 30% to $1.1 billion. The average rate on these deposits increased from 2.24% at December 31, 1999 to 2.73% at December 31, 2000, due to general increases in interest rates.

==============================================================================================================================

BORROWINGS - Borrowings totaled $3.2 billion at December 31, 2000, up $100.4 million from year-end 1999. The increase was primarily due to increases of $131.3 million in FHLB advances and $91 million in federal funds purchased, partially offset by decreases of $42 million in TCF's bank line of credit, $29.3 million in treasury, tax and loan notes, $22.4 million in commercial paper and $15.7 million in securities sold under agreements to repurchase. See Note 10 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for detailed information on TCF's borrowings. Included in FHLB advances at December 31, 2000 are $1.5 billion of fixed-rate advances which are callable at par on certain anniversary dates and quarterly thereafter until maturity. If called, the FHLB will provide replacement funding at the then-prevailing market rate of interest for the remaining term-to-maturity of the advances, subject to standard terms and conditions. Included in FHLB advances are $688 million of long-term FHLB advances that have call dates within one year. Due to changes in interest rates since the long-term FHLB advances were obtained, the market

34

rates exceeded the contract rates on $53 million of the long-term FHLB advances with call dates within one year. The weighted-average rate on borrowings increased to 6.23% at December 31, 2000, from 5.91% at December 31, 1999, due to general increases in interest rates. At December 31, 2000, borrowings with a maturity of one year or less totaled $1.5 billion. Management has entered into additional long-term callable FHLB advances to extend the maturity of $300 million of TCF's short-term borrowings. The FHLB advances settle during the first quarter of 2001.

STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY - Stockholders' equity at December 31, 2000 was $910.2 million, or 8.1% of total assets, up from $809 million, or 7.6% of total assets, at December 31, 1999. The increase in stockholders' equity is primarily due to net income of $186.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2000 and the decrease of $37.5 million in accumulated other comprehensive loss, partially offset by the repurchase of 3,243,800 shares of TCF's common stock at a cost of $73.8 million and the payment of $66.1 million in dividends on common stock. Since January 1, 1998, the Company has repurchased 14.9 million shares of TCF's common stock at an average cost of $26.26 per share.

MARKET RISK - Interest-Rate Risk - TCF's results of operations are dependent to a large degree on its net interest income and the Company's ability to manage its interest-rate risk. Although TCF manages other risks, such as credit and liquidity risk, in the normal course of its business, the Company considers interest-rate risk to be its most significant market risk. TCF, like most financial institutions, has a material interest-rate risk exposure to changes in both short-term and long-term interest rates as well as variable index interest rates (e.g., prime). Since TCF does not hold a trading portfolio, the Company is not exposed to market risk from trading activities.

Like most financial institutions, TCF's interest income and cost of funds are significantly affected by general economic conditions and by policies of regulatory authorities. The mismatch between maturities and interest-rate sensitivities of assets and liabilities results in interest-rate risk. TCF's Asset/Liability Management Committee manages TCF's interest-rate risk based on interest rate expectations and other factors. The principal objective of TCF's asset/liability management activities is to provide maximum levels of net interest income while maintaining acceptable levels of interest-rate risk and liquidity risk and facilitating the funding needs of the Company.

Although the measure is subject to a number of assumptions and is only one of a number of measurements, management believes the interest-rate gap (difference between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities repricing within a given period) is an important indication of TCF's exposure to interest-rate risk and the related volatility of net interest income in a changing interest rate environment. In addition to the interest-rate gap analysis, management also utilizes a simulation model to measure and manage TCF's interest-rate risk. For an institution with a negative interest-rate gap for a given period, the amount of its interest-bearing liabilities maturing or otherwise repricing within such period exceeds the amount of its interest-earning assets repricing within the same period. In a rising interest-rate environment, institutions with negative interest-rate gaps will generally experience more immediate increases in the cost of their liabilities than in the yield on their assets. Conversely, the yield on assets for institutions with negative interest-rate gaps will generally decrease more slowly than the cost of their funds in a falling interest-rate environment.

The amounts in the maturity/rate sensitivity table below represent management's estimates and assumptions. The amounts could be significantly affected by external factors such as prepayment rates other than those assumed, early withdrawals of deposits, changes in the correlation of various interest-bearing instruments, competition, a general rise or decline in interest rates, and the possibility that the FHLB will exercise its option to call certain of TCF's longer-term FHLB advances. Decisions by management to purchase or sell assets, or retire debt could change the maturity/repricing and spread relationships. In addition, TCF's interest-rate risk will increase during periods of rising interest rates due to slower prepayments on loans and mortgage-backed securities. TCF's one-year adjusted interest-rate gap was a negative $215.1 million, or (2)% of total assets, at December 31, 2000, compared with a negative $1 billion, or (10)% of total assets, at December 31, 1999. The decrease in TCF's negative one-year interest-rate gap reflects the impact of projected faster prepayment rates on loan and mortgage-backed securities portfolios, and a change in management's maturity/repricing assumptions for money market deposits.

(1) Based upon contractual maturity, repricing date, if applicable, scheduled repayments of principal and projected prepayments of principal based upon experience.

(2) Includes non-interest bearing deposits. 7.5% of checking accounts are included in amounts repricing within one year. In addition, 34% and 29% of passbook and statement accounts are included in the less than 1 year and "1 to 3 Years" categories, respectively. All remaining passbook and statement and checking accounts are assumed to mature in the "3+ Years" category. While management believes these assumptions are well based, no assurance can be given that amounts on deposit in checking and passbook and statement accounts will not significantly change or be repriced in the event of a general change in interest rates. At December 31, 1999, money market accounts and 10% of checking accounts were included in amounts repricing within one year, and 27% and 30% of passbook and statement accounts were included in the less than 1 year and "1 to 3 Years" categories, respectively.

(3) Reflects a change in maturity/repricing assumptions from those at December 31, 1999. Certain low-rate money market accounts totaling $395.2 million were moved to the "3+ Years" category due to a history of little or no repricing activity for the product types.

(4) Includes $671.5 million of callable FHLB advances, all of which have a call date beyond one year. Based upon market interest rates at December 31, 2000, $158.5 million of these FHLB advances are included as repricing in the "1 to 3 Years" category which corresponds to their next call date, instead of in the "3+ Years" category, which corresponds to their maturity date.

(5) Represents $300 million of unsettled callable FHLB advances that settle within 30 days. The call dates for these FHLB advances are beyond one year.

As previously noted, TCF also utilizes simulation models to estimate the near-term effects (next twelve months) of changing interest rates on its net interest income. Net interest income simulation involves forecasting net interest income under a variety of scenarios, including the level of interest rates, the shape of the yield curve, and spreads between market interest rates. At December 31, 2000, net interest income is estimated to increase by .4% over the next twelve months if interest rates were to sustain an immediate increase of 200 basis points. At December 31, 1999, net interest income was estimated to increase by 1.2% assuming a similar change in interest rates. If interest rates were to decline by 200 basis points, net interest income is estimated to decrease by 3.9% over the next twelve months. Simulations at December 31, 1999 projected a decrease in net interest income of .3% assuming a similar change in interest rates.

Management exercises its best judgment in making assumptions regarding loan prepayments, early deposit withdrawals, and other non-controllable events in estimating TCF's exposure to changes in interest rates. These assumptions are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the simulation models cannot precisely estimate net interest income or precisely predict the impact of a change

in interest rates on net interest income. Actual results will differ from simulated results due to the timing, magnitude and frequency of interest rate changes and changes in market conditions and management strategies, among other factors.

RECENT ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS - Effective January 1, 2001, TCF adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, as amended, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 133 requires that all derivative instruments as defined, including derivatives embedded in other financial instruments or contracts, be recognized as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial condition at fair value. Changes in the fair value of a derivative are recorded in the results of operations. A derivative may be designated as a hedge of an exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability or firm commitment or as a hedge of cash flows of forecasted transactions. The accounting for derivatives that are used as hedges is dependent on the type of hedge and requires that a hedge be highly effective in offsetting changes in the hedged risk.

Under SFAS No. 133, TCF's pipeline of locked residential mortgage loan commitments are considered derivatives and will be recorded at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in gains on sales of loans held for sale in the income statement. TCF hedges its risk of changes in the fair value of locked residential mortgage loan commitments due to changes in interest rates through the use of forward sales contracts. Forward sales contracts require TCF to deliver qualifying residential mortgage loans or pools of loans at a specified future date at a specified price or yield. Such forward sales contracts hedging the pipeline of locked residential mortgage loan commitments are derivatives under SFAS No. 133 and are recorded at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in gains on sales of loans held for sale. TCF also utilizes forward sales contracts to hedge its risk of changes in the fair value of its residential loans held for sale. In accordance with fair value hedge accounting under SFAS No. 133, the forward sales contracts hedging the residential loans held for sale are recorded at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in gains on sales of loans held for sale as is the offsetting change in the fair value of the hedged loans. The impact of adopting SFAS No. 133 on TCF's financial position and results of operations was not material.

LEGISLATIVE, LEGAL AND REGULATORY DEVELOPMENTS

Federal and state legislation imposes numerous legal and regulatory requirements on financial institutions. Future legislative or regulatory change, or changes in enforcement practices or court rulings, may have a dramatic and potentially adverse impact on TCF and its bank and other subsidiaries. Among other possible developments, pending legislation which would impose limitations on ATM surcharges or restrict the sharing of customer information, or adverse decisions in litigation dealing with such legislation, or in litigation against Visa and Mastercard affecting debit card fees, could have an adverse impact on TCF.

On November 12, 1999, the President signed into law the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (the "Act"). The Act significantly changed the regulatory structure and oversight of the financial services industry and expanded financial affiliation opportunities for bank holding companies. The Act permits "financial holding companies" to engage in a range of activities that are "financial in nature" or "incidental" thereto, such as banking, insurance, securities activities, and merchant banking. To qualify to engage in expanded financial activities, a financial holding company must make certain required regulatory filings, and subsidiary depository institutions must be well-capitalized, well-managed and rated "satisfactory" or better under the Community Reinvestment Act. TCF filed an election to become a financial holding company with the Federal Reserve, and this election became effective in June 2000. The Act also permits a national bank to engage in certain expanded financial activities through a financial subsidiary, provided the bank and its depository institution affiliates are deemed well-capitalized and well-managed and meet certain other regulatory requirements. The Act preempts state laws restricting the establishment of financial affiliations authorized or permitted under the Act, subject to certain limited exceptions, including an exception that allows state insurance regulators to impose certain requirements on financial institutions, so long as they are not substantially more adverse than those applying to other persons.

FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

This Annual Report and other reports issued by the Company, including reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, may contain "forward-looking" statements that deal with future results, plans or performance. In addition, TCF's management may make such statements orally to the media, or to securities analysts, investors or others. Forward-looking statements deal with matters that do not relate strictly to historical facts. TCF's future results may differ materially from historical performance and forward-looking statements about TCF's expected financial results or other plans are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. These include but are not limited to possible legislative changes and adverse economic, business and competitive developments such as shrinking interest margins; deposit outflows; reduced demand for financial services and loan and lease products; changes in accounting policies or guidelines, or monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government; changes in credit and other risks posed by TCF's loan, lease and investment portfolios; technological, computer-related or operational difficulties; adverse changes in securities markets; results of litigation or other significant uncertainties.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1 > SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of TCF Financial Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries. TCF Financial Corporation ("TCF" or the "Company") is a national financial holding company engaged primarily in community banking and lease financing through its wholly owned subsidiaries, TCF National Bank and TCF National Bank Colorado ("TCF Colorado"). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior years' financial statements to conform to the current year presentation. For Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows purposes, cash and cash equivalents include cash and due from banks.

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME - Comprehensive income is the total of net income and other comprehensive income (loss), which for TCF is comprised entirely of unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale. The following table summarizes the components of other comprehensive income (loss):

                                                                                             Year Ended December 31,

(In thousands)                                                                          2000           1999          1998
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unrealized holding gains (losses) on securities available for sale (net of tax
   expense (benefit) of $22,212, ($31,532) and $206, respectively) .............    $ 37,514       $(52,971)       $   236
Reclassification adjustment for gains included in net income (net of tax expense
      of $1,192 and $1,045 in 1999 and 1998, respectively) .....................           -         (2,002)        (1,201)
                                                                                  ------------------------------------------
          Total other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax ..................    $ 37,514       $(54,973)       $  (965)
============================================================================================================================

INVESTMENTS - Investments are carried at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts using methods which approximate a level yield.

SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE - Securities available for sale are carried at fair value with the unrealized holding gains or losses, net of related deferred income taxes, reported as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), which is a separate component of stockholders' equity. Cost of securities sold is determined on a specific identification basis and gains or losses on sales of securities available for sale are recognized at trade dates. Declines in the value of securities available for sale that are considered other than temporary are recorded in noninterest income as a loss on securities available for sale.

LOANS HELD FOR SALE - Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or market determined on an aggregate basis, including related forward mortgage loan sales commitments. Cost of loans sold is determined on a specific identification basis and gains or losses on sales of loans held for sale are recognized at settlement dates. Net fees and costs associated with originating and acquiring loans held for sale are deferred and are included in the basis for determining the gain or loss on sales of loans held for sale.

LOANS AND LEASES - Net fees and costs associated with originating and acquiring loans and leases are deferred and amortized over the lives of the assets. Net fees and costs associated with loan commitments are deferred in other assets or other liabilities until the loan is advanced. Discounts and premiums on loans purchased, net deferred fees and costs, unearned discounts and finance charges, and unearned lease income are amortized using methods which approximate a level yield over the estimated remaining lives of the loans and leases.

Lease financings include direct financing and sales-type leases as well as leveraged leases. Leases that transfer substantially all of the benefits and risks of equipment ownership to the lessee are classified as direct financing or sales-type leases and are included in loans and leases. Direct financing and sales-type leases are carried at the combined present value of the future minimum lease payments and the lease residual value, which represents the estimated fair value of the leased equipment at the termination of the lease. Lease residual values are reviewed on an ongoing basis and any downward revisions are recorded in the periods in which they become known. Interest income on direct financing and sales-type leases is recognized using methods which approximate a level yield over the term of the leases. Sales-type leases generate dealer profit which is recognized at lease inception by recording lease revenue net of the lease cost. Lease revenue consists of the present value of the future minimum lease payments discounted at the rate implicit in the lease. Lease cost consists of the leased equipment's book value, less the present value of its residual. The investment in leveraged leases is the sum of all lease payments (less nonrecourse debt payments) plus estimated residual values, less unearned

43

income. Income from leveraged leases is recognized using a method which approximates a level yield over the term of the leases based on the unrecovered equity investment.

Impaired loans include all non-accrual and restructured commercial real estate and commercial business loans and equipment financings. Consumer and residential real estate loans and lease financings are excluded from the definition of an impaired loan. Loan impairment is measured as the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's initial effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral for collateral-dependent loans.

The allowance for loan and lease losses is maintained at a level believed to be appropriate by management to provide for probable loan and lease losses inherent in the portfolio as of the balance sheet date, including known or anticipated problem loans and leases, as well as for loans and leases which are not currently known to require specific allowances. Management's judgment as to the amount of the allowance, including the allocated and unallocated elements, is a result of ongoing review of larger individual loans and leases, the overall risk characteristics of the portfolios, changes in the character or size of the portfolios, the level of non-performing assets, historical net charge-off amounts, geographic location, prevailing economic conditions and other relevant factors. Residential loans, consumer loans, and smaller-balance commercial loans and lease and equipment financings are segregated by loan type and sub-type, and are evaluated on a group basis. Loans and leases are charged off to the extent they are deemed to be uncollectible. The amount of the allowance for loan and lease losses is highly dependent upon management's estimates of variables affecting valuation, appraisals of collateral, evaluations of performance and status, and the amounts and timing of future cash flows expected to be received on impaired loans. Such estimates, appraisals, evaluations and cash flows may be subject to frequent adjustments due to changing economic prospects of borrowers, lessees or properties. These estimates are reviewed periodically and adjustments, if necessary, are recorded in the provision for credit losses in the periods in which they become known.

Interest income is accrued on loan and lease balances outstanding. Loans and leases, including loans that are considered to be impaired, are reviewed regularly by management and are placed on non-accrual status when the collection of interest or principal is 90 days or more past due (150 days or more past due for loans secured by residential real estate), unless the loan or lease is adequately secured and in the process of collection. When a loan or lease is placed on non-accrual status, unless collection of all principal and interest is considered to be assured, uncollected interest accrued in prior years is charged off against the allowance for loan and lease losses. Interest accrued in the current year is reversed. For those non-accrual leases that have been funded on a non-recourse basis by third-party financial institutions, the related debt is also placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans and leases are generally applied to principal unless the remaining principal balance has been determined to be fully collectible.

Cost of loans sold is determined on a specific identification basis and gains or losses on sales of loans are recognized at trade dates.

PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT - Premises and equipment are carried at cost and are depreciated or amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives.

OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED - Other real estate owned is recorded at the lower of cost or fair value minus estimated costs to sell at the date of transfer to other real estate owned. If the fair value of an asset minus the estimated costs to sell should decline to less than the carrying amount of the asset, the deficiency is recognized in the period in which it becomes known and is included in other non-interest expense.

MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS - Mortgage servicing rights are capitalized and amortized in proportion to, and over the period of, estimated net servicing income. TCF periodically evaluates its capitalized mortgage servicing rights for impairment. Loan type and note rate are the predominant risk characteristics of the underlying loans used to stratify capitalized mortgage servicing rights for purposes of measuring impairment. Any impairment is recognized through a valuation allowance.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS - Goodwill resulting from acquisitions is amortized over 20 to 25 years on a straight-line basis. Deposit base intangibles are amortized over 10 years on an accelerated basis. The Company reviews the recoverability of the carrying values of these assets whenever an event occurs indicating that they may be impaired.

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - TCF utilizes derivative financial instruments in the course of asset and liability management to meet the ongoing credit needs of its customers and in order to manage the market exposure of its residential loans held for sale and its commitments to extend credit for residential loans. Derivative financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and forward mortgage loan sales commitments. See Note 14 for additional information concerning these derivative financial instruments.

ADVERTISING AND PROMOTIONS - Expenditures for advertising and promotions are expensed as incurred.

44

INCOME TAXES - Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE - The following table reconciles the weighted average shares outstanding and the income applicable to common shareholders used for basic and diluted earnings per share:

                                                                                          Year Ended December 31,

At December 31, 2000 and 1999, the recorded investment in loans that were considered to be impaired was $6.1 million and $4.5 million, respectively. The related allowance for loan losses at those dates was $1.2 million and $1 million, respectively. All of the impaired loans were on non-accrual status. The average recorded investment in impaired loans during the year ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 was $4.3 million and $8.1 million, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, TCF recognized interest income on impaired loans of $40,000 and $519,000, all of which was recognized using the cash basis method of income recognition.

At December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, loans and leases on non-accrual status totaled $35.2 million, $24.1 million and $33.7 million, respectively. Had the loans and leases performed in accordance with their original terms throughout 2000, TCF would have recorded gross interest income of $3.9 million for these loans and leases. Interest income of $1.6 million has been recorded on these loans and leases for the year ended December 31, 2000.

At December 31, 2000 and 1999, TCF had no loans and leases outstanding with terms that had been modified in troubled debt

restructurings. There were no material commitments to lend additional funds to customers whose loans or leases were classified as non-accrual at December 31, 2000.

The aggregate amount of loans to directors and executive officers of TCF was not significant at December 31, 2000 or 1999. All loans to TCF's directors and executive officers were made in the ordinary course of business on normal credit terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with unrelated persons, and in the opinion of management do not represent more than a normal credit risk of collection.

During 2000, TCF purchased the equity interest in a leveraged lease transaction for an aircraft. The investment in leveraged leases represents net unpaid rentals and estimated unguaranteed residual values of the leased assets, less related unearned income. TCF has no general obligation for principal and interest on notes representing third-party participation related to the leveraged lease; such notes are recorded as an offset against the related rental receivable. As the equity owner in the leveraged lease, TCF is taxed on total lease payments received and is entitled to tax deductions based on the cost of the leased asset and tax deductions for interest paid to third-party participants. The leveraged lease has renewal and purchase options by the lessee at the end of the 9.75 year lease term.

At December 31, 2000, TCF's net investment in leveraged leases is comprised of the following:

The securities underlying the repurchase agreements are book entry securities. During the period, book entry securities were delivered by appropriate entry into the counterparties' accounts through the Federal Reserve System. The dealers may sell, loan or otherwise dispose of such securities to other parties in the normal course of their operations, but have agreed to resell to TCF identical or substantially the same securities upon the maturities of the agreements. At December 31, 2000, all of the securities sold under repurchase agreements provided for the repurchase of identical securities.

At December 31, 2000, securities sold under repurchase agreements were collateralized by mortgage-backed securities and had the following maturities:

Included in FHLB advances at December 31, 2000 are $1.5 billion of fixed-rate advances which are callable at par on certain dates. If called, the FHLB will provide replacement funding at the then-prevailing market interest rates. Due to changes in interest rates since the long-term FHLB advances were obtained, the market rates exceeded the contract rates on $53 million of the long-term FHLB advances with call dates within one year. The probability that these advances will be called depends primarily on the level of related interest rates during the call period. The stated maturity dates and the next call dates for the callable FHLB advances outstanding at December 31, 2000 were as follows (in thousands):

For certain equipment leases, TCF utilizes its lease rentals and underlying equipment as collateral to borrow from other financial institutions at fixed rates on a non-recourse basis. In the event of a default by the customer in non-recourse financings, the other financial institution has a first lien on the underlying leased equipment with no further recourse against TCF.

The $28.8 million of senior subordinated debentures mature in July 2003. These debentures will be redeemable at par plus accrued interest to the date of redemption beginning July 1, 2001. TCF intends to exercise its right of redemption on the debentures in 2001.

TCF has a $135 million bank line of credit expiring in April 2001 which is unsecured and contains certain covenants common to such agreements with which TCF is in compliance. The interest rate on the line of credit is based on either the prime rate or LIBOR. TCF has the option to select the interest rate index and term for advances on the line of credit. The line of credit may be used for appropriate corporate purposes, including serving as a back-up line of credit to support the redemption of TCF's commercial paper.

TCF has a $50 million commercial paper program which is unsecured and contains certain covenants common to such programs with which TCF is in compliance. Any usage under the commercial paper program requires an equal amount of back-up support by the bank line of credit. Commercial paper generally matures within 90 days, although it may have a term of up to 270 days.

FHLB advances are collateralized by residential real estate loans and FHLB stock with an aggregate carrying value of $2.5 billion at December 31, 2000.

12 > STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

RESTRICTED RETAINED EARNINGS - In general, TCF's subsidiary banks may not declare or pay a dividend to TCF in excess of 100% of their net profits for that year combined with their retained net profits for the preceding two calendar years without prior approval of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC"). Additional limitations on dividends declared or paid on, or repurchases of, TCF's subsidiary banks' capital stock are tied to the national banks' regulatory capital levels.

Undistributed earnings and profits at December 31, 2000 includes approximately $134.4 million for which no provision for federal income tax has been made. This amount represents earnings appropriated to bad debt reserves and deducted for federal income tax purposes and is generally not available for payment of cash dividends or other distributions to shareholders. Payments or distributions of these appropriated earnings could invoke a tax liability for TCF based on the amount of earnings removed and current tax rates.

SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN - TCF's preferred share purchase rights will become exercisable only if a person or group acquires or announces an offer to acquire 15% or more of TCF's common stock. When exercisable, each right will entitle the holder to buy one one-hundredth of a share of a new series of junior participating preferred stock at a price of $100. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain events, holders of the rights will be entitled to purchase either TCF's common stock or shares in an "acquiring entity" at half of the market value. TCF's Board of Directors (the "Board") is generally entitled to redeem the rights at 1 cent per right at any time before they become exercisable. The rights will expire on June 9, 2009, if not previously redeemed or exercised.

TREASURY STOCK AND OTHER - Treasury stock and other consists of the following:

                                                                     At December 31,

===========================================================================================

On January 19, 1998, the Board authorized the repurchase of up to 5% of TCF common stock, or 4.6 million shares. On June 22, 1998, the Board authorized the repurchase of up to an additional 5% of TCF common stock, or 4.5 million shares. On December 15, 1998, the Board authorized the repurchase of up to an additional 5% of TCF common stock, or 4.3 million shares. On March 8, 2000, the Board authorized the repurchase of up to an additional 5% of TCF common stock, or 4.1 million shares. TCF purchased 3,243,800, 4,091,611 and 7,549,300 shares of common stock during the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. At December 31, 2000, TCF has remaining authorization of 2.6 million shares under its March 8, 2000 5% stock repurchase program.

54

On June 22, 2000, the Company entered into an agreement with a third party that provides TCF with an option to purchase up to $50 million of TCF's common stock under a forward share repurchase contract. The forward transactions can be settled from time to time, at the Company's election, on a physical, net cash or net share basis. The final maturity date of the agreement is June 24, 2002. At December 31, 2000, there were no open forward purchases under this contract.

SHARES HELD IN TRUST FOR DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLANS - The cost of TCF common stock held by TCF's deferred compensation plans is reported separately in a manner similar to treasury stock (that is, changes in fair value are not recognized) with a corresponding deferred compensation obligation reflected in additional paid-in capital.

LOAN TO EXECUTIVE DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN - During 1998 and 2000, loans totaling $6.4 million and $2 million, respectively, were made by TCF to the Executive Deferred Compensation Plan trustee on a nonrecourse basis to purchase shares of TCF common stock for the accounts of participants. The loans are repayable by the participants over five years and bear interest at 7.41% to 8.00% and are secured by the shares of TCF common stock purchased with the loan proceeds. These loans have a remaining principal balance of $5.1 million at December 31, 2000, which is reflected as a reduction of stockholders' equity as required by generally accepted accounting principles.

13 > REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

TCF is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary, actions by the federal banking agencies that could have a direct material effect on TCF's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for "prompt corrective action," TCF must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Company's assets, stockholders' equity, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices.

The following table sets forth TCF's tier I leverage, tier I risk-based and total risk-based capital levels, and applicable percentages of adjusted assets, together with the excess over the minimum capital requirements:

At December 31, 2000, TCF and its bank subsidiaries exceeded their regulatory capital requirements and are considered "well-capitalized" under guidelines established by the FRB and the OCC pursuant to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991.

14 > FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK

TCF is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk, primarily to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments, which are issued or held by TCF for purposes other than trading, involve elements of credit and interest-rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

TCF's exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the counterparty to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of the commitments. TCF uses the same credit policies in making these commitments as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. TCF evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained is based on management's credit evaluation of the customer. For

55

Veterans Administration ("VA") loans serviced with partial recourse and forward mortgage loan sales commitments, the contract or notional amount exceeds TCF's exposure to credit loss. TCF controls the credit risk of forward mortgage loan sales commitments through credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures.

COMMITMENTS TO EXTEND CREDIT - Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer provided there is no violation of any condition in the contract. These commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. These commitments totaled $1.1 billion and $1.2 billion at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Since certain of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Collateral predominantly consists of residential and commercial real estate and personal property. Included in the total commitments to extend credit at December 31, 2000 were fixed-rate mortgage loan commitments and loans in process aggregating $27.5 million.

STANDBY LETTERS OF CREDIT - Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by TCF guaranteeing the performance of a customer to a third party. The standby letters of credit expire in various years through the year 2005 and totaled $28.8 million and $22 million at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Collateral held primarily consists of commercial real estate mortgages. Since the conditions under which TCF is required to fund standby letters of credit may not materialize, the cash requirements are expected to be less than the total outstanding commitments.

VA LOANS SERVICED WITH PARTIAL RECOURSE - TCF services VA loans on which it must cover any principal loss in excess of the VA's guarantee if the VA elects its "no-bid" option upon the foreclosure of a loan. The serviced loans are collateralized by residential real estate and totaled $182.1 million and $184.5 million at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

FORWARD MORTGAGE LOAN SALES COMMITMENTS - TCF enters into forward mortgage loan sales commitments in order to manage the market exposure on its residential loans held for sale and its commitments to extend credit for residential loans. Forward mortgage loan sales commitments are contracts for the delivery of mortgage loans or pools of loans in which TCF agrees to make delivery at a specified future date of a specified instrument, at a specified price or yield. Risks arise from the possible inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from movements in mortgage loan values and interest rates. Forward mortgage loan sales commitments totaled $121.7 million and $46.3 million at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK ADVANCES - FORWARD SETTLEMENTS - TCF enters into forward settlements of FHLB advances in the course of asset and liability management and to manage interest rate risk. Forward settlements of FHLB advances totaled $300 million and $189 million at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

15 > FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

TCF is required to disclose the estimated fair value of financial instruments, both assets and liabilities on and off the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instruments. Fair value estimates are subjective in nature, involving uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

The carrying amounts of cash and due from banks, investments and accrued interest payable and receivable approximate their fair values due to the short period of time until their expected realization. Securities available for sale are carried at fair value, which is based on quoted market prices. Certain financial instruments, including lease financings and discounted lease rentals, and all non-financial instruments are excluded from fair value of financial instrument disclosure requirements.

The following methods and assumptions are used by the Company in estimating fair value disclosures for its remaining financial instruments, all of which are issued or held for purposes other than trading.

LOANS HELD FOR SALE - The fair value of loans held for sale is estimated based on quoted market prices.

The estimated fair value of capitalized mortgage servicing rights totaled $49.8 million at December 31, 2000, compared with a carrying amount of $40.1 million. The estimated fair value of capitalized mortgage servicing rights is based on estimated cash flows discounted using rates commensurate with the risks involved. Assumptions regarding prepayments, defaults and interest rates are determined using available market information.

LOANS - The fair values of residential and consumer loans are estimated using quoted market prices. For certain variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and that have experienced no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. The fair values of other loans are estimated by discounting contractual cash flows adjusted for prepayment estimates, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers with similar credit risk characteristics.

56

DEPOSITS - The fair value of checking, passbook and statement and money market deposits is deemed equal to the amount payable on demand. The fair value of certificates is estimated based on discounted cash flow analyses using interest rates offered by TCF for certificates with similar remaining maturities.

BORROWINGS - The carrying amounts of short-term borrowings approximate their fair values. The fair values of TCF's long-term borrowings are estimated based on quoted market prices or discounted cash flow analyses using interest rates for borrowings of similar remaining maturities.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK - The fair values of residential commitments to extend credit and forward mortgage loan sales commitments associated with residential loans held for sale are based upon quoted market prices. The fair values of TCF's remaining commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit are estimated using fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements. For fixed-rate loan commitments and standby letters of credit issued in conjunction with fixed-rate loan agreements, fair value also considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates. The fair values of forward settlements of FHLB advances are based on the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates.

TCF has not incurred, and does not anticipate, significant losses as a result of the recourse provisions associated with its balance of VA loans serviced with partial recourse. As a result, the carrying amounts and related estimated fair values of these financial instruments were not material at December 31, 2000 and 1999.

As discussed above, the carrying amounts of certain of the Company's financial instruments approximate their fair value. The carrying amounts disclosed below are included in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition under the indicated captions, except where noted otherwise. The carrying amounts and fair values of the Company's remaining financial instruments are set forth in the following table:

                                                                                       At December 31,

16 > STOCK OPTION AND INCENTIVE PLAN

The TCF Financial 1995 Incentive Stock Program (the "Program") was adopted to enable TCF to attract and retain key personnel. Under the Program, no more than 5% of the shares of TCF common stock outstanding on the date of initial shareholder approval may be awarded. Options generally become exercisable over a period of one to 10 years from the date of the grant and expire after 10 years.

All outstanding options have a fixed exercise price equal to the market price of TCF common stock on the date of grant. Restricted stock granted in 1998 generally vests within five years, but may be subject to a delayed vesting schedule if certain return on equity goals are not met. Restricted stock granted to certain executive officers in 2000 will vest only if certain earnings per share goals are achieved by 2008. Failure to achieve the goals will result in all or a portion of the shares being forfeited. Other restricted stock grants generally vest over periods from three to eight years. TCF also has prior programs with options that remain outstanding. Those options are included in the following tables.

ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION - Effective January 1, 2000, TCF adopted the recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," for stock-based transactions beginning in 2000. Under SFAS No. 123, the fair value of an option or similar equity instrument on the date of grant is amortized to expense over the vesting period of the grant. The recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 are applied prospectively upon adoption. TCF applied the intrinsic value based method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," as amended, for stock-based transactions through December 31, 1999. Accordingly, no compensation expense was recognized prior to 2000 for TCF's non-compensatory stock option grants.

TCF believes the fair value method of accounting more appropriately reflects the substance of the transaction between an entity that issues stock options, or other stock-based instruments, and its employees; that is, an entity has granted something of value to an employee generally in return for their continued employment and services. The fair value based method is designated as the preferred method of accounting by SFAS No. 123.

Compensation expense for restricted stock under SFAS No. 123 and APB Opinion No. 25 is recorded over the vesting periods, and totaled $9.4 million, $9.5 million and $5.9 million in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

Had compensation expense for all periods been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards under the Program consistent with the method of SFAS No. 123, TCF's pro forma net income and earnings per common share would have been as follows for periods prior to TCF's adoption of SFAS No. 123:

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, with the following weighted-average assumptions used for 1999 and 1998, respectively: risk-free interest rates of 5.03% and 4.78%; dividend yield of 2.7% and 2.6%; expected lives of 7 and 5.25 years; and volatility of 27.0% and 27.2%.

The weighted-average grant date fair value of options was $6.59, $7.02 and $6.49 in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The weighted-average grant date fair value of restricted stock was $24.60, $25.94 and $31.19 in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

17 > EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

The TCF Cash Balance Pension Plan (the "Pension Plan") is a qualified defined benefit plan covering all "regular stated salary" employees and certain part-time employees who are at least 21 years old and have completed a year of eligibility service with TCF. TCF makes a monthly allocation to the participant's account based on a percentage of the participant's compensation. The percentage is based on the sum of the participant's age and years of employment with TCF. Participants are fully vested after five years of qualifying service.

In addition to providing retirement income benefits, TCF provides health care benefits for eligible retired employees, and in some cases life insurance benefits (the "Postretirement Plan"). Substantially all full-time employees may become eligible for health care benefits if they reach retirement age and have completed ten years of service with the Company, with certain exceptions. Effective January 1, 2000, TCF modified the Postretirement Plan by eliminating the Company subsidy for employees not yet eligible for benefits under the Postretirement Plan. The plan provisions for full-time and retired employees eligible for these benefits were not changed. These and similar benefits for active employees are provided through insurance companies or through self-funded programs. The Postretirement Plan is an unfunded plan.

The Pension Plan's assets consist primarily of listed stocks and government bonds. At December 31, 2000 and 1999, the Pension Plan's assets included TCF common stock with a market value of $11.3 million and $6.3 million, respectively.

For active participants of the Postretirement Plan, a 7.2% annual rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered health care benefits was assumed for 2001. This rate is assumed to decrease gradually to 6% for the year 2005 and remain at that level thereafter. For most retired participants, the annual rate of increase is assumed to be 4% for all future years, which represents the Plan's annual limit on increases in TCF's contributions for retirees.

Assumed health care cost trend rates have an effect on the amounts reported for the Postretirement Plan. A one-percentage-point change in assumed health care cost trend rates would have the following effects:

                                                      1-Percentage-  1-Percentage-

Employee Stock Purchase Plan - The TCF Employees Stock Purchase Plan generally allows participants to make contributions by salary deduction of up to 12% of their salary on a tax-deferred basis pursuant to section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. TCF matches the contributions of all employees at the rate of 50 cents per dollar, with a maximum employer contribution of 3% of the employee's salary. Employee contributions vest immediately while the Company's matching contributions are subject to a graduated vesting schedule based on an employee's years of vesting service. The Company's matching contributions are expensed when made. TCF's contribution to the plan was $2.7 million, $2.8 million and $2.7 million in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

18 > BUSINESS SEGMENTS

Prior to April 1, 2000, TCF's wholly owned bank subsidiaries located in Minnesota, Illinois, Wisconsin and Michigan had been identified as reportable segments. In April 2000, TCF merged these four bank charters into one national bank charter headquartered in Minnesota.

Following the bank merger, certain management responsibilities were realigned within the organization. Management reporting was revised to reflect the charter merger and the resulting changes in responsibilities. Banking, leasing and equipment finance, and mortgage banking have been identified as reportable operating segments. Banking includes the following operating units that provide financial services to customers: deposits and investment products, commercial lending, consumer lending, residential lending and treasury services. Management of TCF's banking area is organized by state. The separate state operations have been aggregated for purposes of segment disclosures. Leasing and equipment finance provides a broad range of comprehensive lease and equipment finance products addressing the financing needs of diverse companies. Mortgage banking activities include the origination and purchase of residential mortgage loans for portfolio loans and sales to third parties, generally with servicing retained. In addition, TCF operates a bank holding company ("parent company") that provides data processing, bank operations and other professional services to the operating segments.

TCF evaluates performance and allocates resources based on the segments' net income. The segments follow generally accepted accounting principles as described in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. TCF generally accounts for intersegment sales and transfers at cost. Each segment is managed separately with its own president, who reports directly to TCF's chief operating decision maker.

The following table sets forth certain information about the reported profit or loss and assets for each of TCF's reportable segments, including reconciliation to TCF's consolidated totals. The results of TCF's parent company and other administrative areas comprise the "other" category in the table below. Prior period data has been restated to reflect the change in composition of TCF's operating segments.

21 > LITIGATION AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

From time to time, TCF is a party to legal proceedings arising out of its general lending and operating activities. TCF is and expects to become engaged in a number of foreclosure proceedings and other collection actions as part of its loan collection activities. From time to time, borrowers have also brought actions against TCF, in some cases claiming substantial amounts of damages. Some financial services companies have recently been subjected to significant exposure in connection with class actions and/or suits seeking punitive damages. While the Company is not aware of any actions or allegations which should reasonably give rise to any material adverse effect, it is possible that the Company could be subjected to such a claim in an amount which could be material. Management, after review with its legal counsel, believes that the ultimate disposition of its litigation will not have a material effect on TCF's financial condition.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The Board of Directors and Stockholders of TCF Financial Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition of TCF Financial Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2000. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of TCF Financial Corporation and subsidiaries at December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2000, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As discussed in note 16 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION, as of January 1, 2000.
