ARTICLE 2

(b) Each Outstanding Company Share (other than an Outstanding Company Share to be cancelled and retired pursuant to Section 2.1(c) and Dissenting Shares) shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration and thereupon shall no

3

longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist. Each certificate previously evidencing any Outstanding Company Share (a “ Company Stock Certificate ”) (other than shares cancelled and retired pursuant to Section 2.1(c) and Dissenting Shares) shall thereafter represent only the right to receive, upon surrender of such certificate in accordance with Section 2.5 , the Per Share Merger Consideration. The holders of Company Stock Certificates shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or by law.

(c) Each share of Company Common Stock held as treasury stock or otherwise held by the Company or the Bank (other than in a fiduciary or secured party capacity), if any, immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be cancelled and retired and cease to exist, and no Per Share Merger Consideration shall be exchanged therefor.

(d) The aggregate consideration to be paid in the Merger (the “ Merger Consideration ”) shall be $28,900,000, as adjusted pursuant to Section 8.15(b) . The Merger Consideration is intended to be paid fifty percent (50%) in cash and fifty percent (50%) in shares of Acquiror Common Stock.

(e) “ Per Share Merger Consideration ” shall mean one of the following:

(i) an amount of cash equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) $28,900,000 by (B) the number of Outstanding Company Shares (the “ Per Share Cash Consideration ”);

(ii) a number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the Aggregate Share Amount (as defined below) by (B) the number of Outstanding Company Shares (the “ Per Share Stock Consideration ”); or

(iii) a combination of the Per Share Cash Consideration and the Per Share Stock Consideration determined in accordance with Section 2.2(a) .

(iv) The “ Aggregate Share Amount ” shall be determined as follows:

(A) If the volume weighted average closing price of a share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Acquiror (“ Acquiror Common Stock ”) as reported on the NASDAQ Global Market for each of the ten (10) trading days ending on the second (2nd) trading day preceding the Closing Date (the “ Acquiror Common Stock Price ”) is at least $15.83 and no more than $21.41, the Aggregate Share Amount shall be the number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock equal to the quotient (rounded up to the nearest whole share) obtained by dividing (I) the Merger Consideration by (II) the Acquiror Common Stock Price;

(B) If the Acquiror Common Stock Price is less than $15.83, the Aggregate Share Amount shall be 1,825,648 shares of Acquiror Common Stock (the Merger Consideration divided by $15.83); and

(C) If the Acquiror Common Stock Price is greater than $21.41 , the Aggregate Share Amount shall be 1,349,837 shares of Acquiror Common Stock (the Merger Consideration divided by $21.41).

(f) If, between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, shares of Acquiror Common Stock shall be changed into a different number of shares or a different class of shares by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, split-up, combination, exchange of shares or readjustment, or if a stock dividend thereof shall be declared with a record date within such period, then the number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock issued to holders of Company Common Stock at the Effective Time pursuant to this Agreement will be appropriately and proportionally adjusted so that the number of such shares of Acquiror Common Stock (or such class of shares into which shares of Acquiror Common Stock have been changed) that will be issued in exchange for the shares of Company Common Stock will equal in number of such shares that the holders of Company Common Stock would have received pursuant to such reclassification, recapitalization, split-up, combination, exchange of shares, readjustment or stock dividend had the record date therefore had been immediately following the Effective Time.

(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Merger Consideration is subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 8.15(b) . In the event that the Closing Balance Sheet has Adjusted Tangible Equity for the Company that is less than the Minimum Adjusted Tangible Equity applicable to the Company, the Merger Consideration shall be reduced dollar-for-dollar by an amount equal to the amount of such shortfall. Any such reduction shall be allocated equally to the cash and stock portions of the Merger Consideration.

Section 2.2 Election Procedures .

(a) Subject to the proration and redesignation procedures set forth in Section 2.3 below, each holder of record of shares of Company Common Stock (excluding shares to be canceled pursuant to Section 2.1(c) and Dissenting Shares) will be entitled to elect to receive for each such share (i) the Per Share Cash Consideration (a “ Cash Election ”); (ii) the Per Share Stock Consideration (a “ Stock Election ”); or (iii) fifty percent (50%) of the Per Share Cash Consideration and fifty percent (50%) of the Per Share Stock Consideration (a “ Combination Election ”). All such elections shall be made on a form designed for that purpose prepared by the Company and acceptable to Acquiror (an “ Election Form ”). Holders of record of shares of Company Common Stock who hold such shares as nominees, trustees or in other representative capacities (“ Nominees ”) may submit multiple Election Forms, provided that such Nominee certifies that each such Election Form covers all the shares of Company Common Stock held by each such Nominee for a particular beneficial owner.

The maximum number of shares of Company Common Stock to be converted into the right to receive Per Share Stock Consideration for such shares, consisting of (i) those shares subject to Stock Elections and (ii) those shares subject to the stock

5

portion of Combination Elections, shall be fifty percent (50%) of the number of Outstanding Company Shares (excluding shares to be canceled and retired pursuant to Section 2.1(c) and Dissenting Shares) (the “ Maximum Stock Election Number ”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the percentages used in the preceding definitions are subject to waiver or modification pursuant to Section 2.3(d) .

(c) The Election Form shall be mailed with the proxy statement/prospectus to all holders of record of shares of Company Common Stock as of the record date of the Company Shareholders’ Meeting. Thereafter, the Company and Acquiror shall each use its reasonable and diligent efforts to mail or make available the Election Form to all persons who become holders of shares of Company Common Stock during the period between the record date for the Company Shareholders’ Meeting and 5:00 p.m., central time, on the date ten (10) Business Days prior to the anticipated Effective Time. To be effective, an Election Form must be received by Computershare Trust Company, N.A., Acquiror’s exchange agent (the “ Exchange Agent ”), on or before 5:00 p.m., central time, on the fifth (5 ^th ) Business Day prior to the Effective Time (the “ Election Deadline ”). An election shall have been properly made only if the Exchange Agent shall have actually received a properly completed Election Form by the Election Deadline. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Election Form, the Exchange Agent shall have reasonable discretion to determine whether any election has been properly or timely made and to disregard immaterial defects in any Election Form, and any good faith decisions of the Exchange Agent regarding such matters shall be binding and conclusive. All elections will be irrevocable.

(d) Any Election Form received by the Exchange Agent after the Election Deadline shall be deemed to be a Combination Election and any holder of Company Common Stock not returning an Election Form to the Exchange Agent shall be deemed to have made a Combination Election. In addition, if the Exchange Agent shall have determined that any purported Stock Election or Cash Election was not properly made, such purported Stock Election or Cash Election shall be deemed to be of no force and effect and the holder of shares of Company Common Stock making such purported Stock Election or Cash Election shall for all purposes hereof be deemed to have made a Combination Election.

Section 2.3 Proration and Redesignation Procedures .

(a) All shares of Company Common Stock which are subject to Cash Elections, and that portion of shares of Company Common Stock which are subject to Combination Elections and would, but for the application of this Section 2.3 , be converted into Per Share Cash Consideration, are referred to herein as “ Cash Election Shares .” All shares of Company Common Stock which are subject to Stock Elections, and that portion of shares of Company Common Stock which are subject to Combination Elections and would, but for the application of this Section 2.3 , be converted into Per Share Stock Consideration, are referred to herein as “ Stock Election Shares .”

(b) If, after the results of the Election Forms are calculated, the number of shares of Company Common Stock to be converted into shares of Acquiror Common Stock exceeds the Maximum Stock Election Number, Acquiror shall cause the Exchange Agent to determine the number of Stock Election Shares which must be redesignated as Cash Election Shares in order to reduce the number of such shares to the Maximum Stock Election Number. All holders who have Stock Election Shares shall, on a pro rata basis, have such number of their Stock Election Shares redesignated as Cash Election Shares so that the Maximum Stock Election Number is achieved.

6

(c) If, after the results of the Election Forms are calculated, the number of shares of Company Common Stock to be converted into cash exceeds the Maximum Cash Election Number, Acquiror shall cause the Exchange Agent to determine the number of Cash Election Shares which must be redesignated as Stock Election Shares in order to reduce the amount of such cash to the Maximum Cash Election Number. All holders who have Cash Election Shares shall, on a pro rata basis, have such number of their Cash Election Shares redesignated as Stock Election Shares so that the Maximum Cash Election Number is achieved.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Acquiror may, in its sole discretion, taking into account the actual results of the election process described in Section 2.2 , direct at any time prior to the Effective Time that the redesignation procedures provided in this Section 2.3 be waived in whole or in part. In such event, the percentage limits specified in Section 2.2(b) for the Maximum Cash Election Number and the Maximum Stock Election Number, respectively, shall be disregarded and the procedures provided for in clause (b) or (c) above shall be applied substituting such percentage limits as Acquiror shall designate between the percentage limits specified in Section 2.2(b) and the percentages reflected in the actual results of such election process; provided , however , that such actions would not adversely affect the Merger from qualifying as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code.

(e) After the redesignation procedures, if any, required by this Section 2.3 are completed, each Cash Election Share shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Cash Consideration, and each Stock Election Share shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Stock Consideration. Company Stock Certificates shall be exchanged, as applicable, for (i) certificates evidencing the Per Share Stock Consideration, or (ii) the Per Share Cash Consideration, multiplied in each case by the number of shares previously evidenced by the canceled Company Stock Certificate, upon the surrender of such certificates in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.5 , without interest.

Section 2.4 No Fractional Shares . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no fractional shares of Acquiror Common Stock shall be issued as Per Share Stock Consideration in the Merger. Each holder of shares of Company Common Stock who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share of Acquiror Common Stock pursuant to this Article 2 shall instead be entitled to receive an amount in cash (without interest) rounded to the nearest whole cent, determined by multiplying the Acquiror Common Stock Price by the fractional share of Acquiror Common Stock to which such former holder would otherwise be entitled.

Section 2.5 Exchange of Certificates .

(a) At or prior to the Effective Time, Acquiror shall authorize the issuance of and shall make available to the Exchange Agent for the benefit of the holders of Company Stock Certificates for exchange in accordance with this Article 2 : (i) a sufficient number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock for payment of the aggregate Per Share Stock Consideration;

7

(ii) sufficient cash for payment of the aggregate Per Share Cash Consideration; and (iii) sufficient cash for payment of cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Acquiror Common Stock in accordance with Section 2.4 . Such amount of cash and shares of Acquiror Common Stock, together with any dividends or distributions with respect thereto paid after the Effective Time, are referred to in this Article 2 as the “ Conversion Fund .” Acquiror shall be solely responsible for the payment of any fees and expenses of the Exchange Agent.

(b) Within five (5) Business Days after the Closing Date, Acquiror shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of one or more Company Stock Certificates a letter of transmittal (“ Letter of Transmittal ”), in a form to be agreed by the parties, which specifies, among other things, that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to Company Stock Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of such certificates to the Exchange Agent, together with instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Company Stock Certificates pursuant to this Agreement.

(c) Upon proper surrender of a Company Stock Certificate for exchange to the Exchange Agent, together with a properly completed Letter of Transmittal, duly executed, the holder of such Company Stock Certificate shall be entitled to promptly receive in exchange therefor his, her or its portion of the Merger Consideration deliverable in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Company Stock Certificate; thereupon such Company Stock Certificate shall forthwith be cancelled. No interest will be paid or accrued on the Per Share Merger Consideration deliverable upon surrender of a Company Stock Certificate.

(d) After the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of the Company of the shares of Company Common Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(e) No dividends or other distributions declared with respect to Acquiror Common Stock and payable to the holders of record thereof after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Company Stock Certificate until the holder thereof shall surrender such Company Stock Certificate in accordance with this Article 2 promptly after the surrender of a Company Stock Certificate in accordance with this Article 2 , the record holder thereof shall be entitled to receive any such dividends or other distributions, without interest thereon, which theretofore had become payable with respect to shares of Acquiror Common Stock into which the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Company Stock Certificate were converted at the Effective Time pursuant to Section 2.1(b) . No holder of an unsurrendered Company Stock Certificate shall be entitled, until the surrender of such Company Stock Certificate, to vote the shares of Acquiror Common Stock into which such holder’s Company Common Stock shall have been converted.

(f) Any portion of the Conversion Fund that remains unclaimed by the shareholders of the Company twelve (12) months after the Effective Time shall be paid to the Surviving Entity, or its successors in interest. Any shareholders of the Company who have not theretofore complied with this Article 2 shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Entity, or its successors in interest, for the issuance of the Per Share Stock Consideration, the payment of the Per Share Cash Consideration and the payment of cash in lieu of any fractional shares deliverable in respect of such shareholders’ shares of Company Common Stock, as well as any

8

accrued and unpaid dividends or distributions on such Per Share Stock Consideration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of Acquiror, the Surviving Entity, the Exchange Agent or any other person shall be liable to any former holder of shares of Company Common Stock for any amount delivered in good faith to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws.

(g) In the event any Company Stock Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Company Stock Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Surviving Entity in its reasonable judgment, the posting by such person of a bond in such amount as the Exchange Agent may determine is reasonably necessary as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Company Stock Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Stock Certificate, and in accordance with this Article 2 , the Per Share Merger Consideration and cash in lieu of any fractional shares deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 2.6 Dissenting Shares . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, shares of Company Common Stock that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by any Person who is entitled to demand and properly demands appraisal of such Dissenting Shares pursuant to, and who complies in all respects with, Sections 180.1301 through 180.1331 of the WBCL (the “ Dissenting Shares ”) shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 2.1 and the holders of such Dissenting Shares shall be entitled only to such rights as may be granted to such holders pursuant to the WBCL; provided, however , that if any such holder shall fail to perfect or otherwise shall waive, withdraw or lose the right to appraisal under Sections 180.1301 through 180.1331 of the WBCL, then such Dissenting Shares shall be deemed to have been converted as of the Effective Time into, and to have become exchangeable solely for the right to receive, the Merger Consideration as provided in this Article 2 .

During the period from the date of this Agreement to the earlier of the Closing Date or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, the Company will not, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives not to, solicit, initiate or knowingly encourage any inquiries or proposals from, discuss or negotiate with, provide any nonpublic information to, any Person (other than Acquiror) relating to any potential Acquisition Transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Company Board (or applicable committee) determines in good faith and after consultation with outside legal counsel that (a) an Unsolicited Proposal constitutes or is reasonably likely to result in a Superior Proposal and (b) the failure to take any such action with respect to such Unsolicited Proposal is reasonably likely to result in a breach of its fiduciary duties under any applicable Legal Requirement, the Company and its Representatives may: (i) furnish information with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries to such Person making such Unsolicited Proposal pursuant to a customary confidentiality agreement; (ii) participate in discussions or negotiations regarding such Unsolicited Proposal; and (iii) terminate this Agreement in order to enter into an

34

agreement with respect to such Unsolicited Proposal if, in the cause of clause (iii), the Company Board (or applicable committee) determines that such Unsolicited Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal; provided, however , that the Company may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 5.5 unless and until (x) five (5) Business Days have elapsed following the delivery to Acquiror of a written notice of such determination by the Company Board (or applicable committee) and, during such five (5) Business-Day period, the Company engages in good faith negotiations with Acquiror (if Acquiror so desires) so that the Unsolicited Proposal ceases to constitute a Superior Proposal, and (y) at the end of such five (5) Business-Day period, the Company Board (or applicable committee) continues, in good faith and after consultation with outside legal counsel, to believe the Unsolicited Proposal at issue constitutes a Superior Proposal. In addition to the foregoing obligations of the Company, the Company shall promptly advise Acquiror orally and subsequently in writing of any request for information with respect to any Unsolicited Proposal or the Company’s receipt of an Acquisition Proposal, the material terms and conditions of such request or Unsolicited Proposal and the identity of the Person making such request or Unsolicited Proposal. The Company shall keep Acquiror reasonably informed of the status and material terms (including amendments or proposed amendments) of any such request or Unsolicited Proposal, including the status of any discussions or negotiations with respect to any Superior Proposal.

Section 5.6 Shareholders’ Meeting . The Company shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Registration Statement has been declared effective, take all action necessary, including as required by and in accordance with the WBCL, the Company Articles of Incorporation and the Company Bylaws to duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of its shareholders (the “ Company Shareholders’ Meeting ”) for the purpose of obtaining the Company Shareholder Approval. The Company and the Company Board will use their reasonable best efforts to obtain from its shareholders the votes required by the WBCL in favor of the adoption of this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 5.6 , the Proxy Statement shall include the recommendation of the Company Board that the Company’s shareholders vote in favor of the adoption of this Agreement, and the Company Board will not withdraw, qualify or modify (or publicly propose or resolve to withdraw, qualify or modify), in a manner adverse to Acquiror, the Company Board’s recommendation to the Company’s shareholders that the Company’s shareholders vote in favor of the adoption of this Agreement (an “ Adverse Recommendation ”). However, if, at any time prior to the time the Company Shareholder Approval is obtained, the Company Board, after consultation with outside counsel, determines in good faith that the failure to effect an Adverse Recommendation would reasonably be expected to result in a violation of its fiduciary duties under Wisconsin law, then, in submitting this Agreement at the Company Shareholders’ Meeting, the Company Board may do one or more of the following: (a) submit this Agreement without recommendation, in which case the Company Board may communicate the basis for its lack of a recommendation to the shareholders in the Proxy Statement or an appropriate amendment or supplement thereto; or (b) make an Adverse Recommendation or publicly propose or resolve to make an Adverse Recommendation, in which case the Company Board may include such Adverse Recommendation.

Section 5.7 Information Provided to Acquiror . The Company agrees that the information concerning the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that is provided or to be provided by the Company to Acquiror for inclusion or that is included in the Registration Statement and

35

any other documents to be filed with any Regulatory Authority in connection with the Contemplated Transactions will: (a) at the respective times such documents are filed and, in the case of the Registration Statement, when it becomes effective and, with respect to the Proxy Statement, when mailed, not be false or misleading with respect to any material fact, or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; or (b) in the case of the Proxy Statement, at the time of the Company Shareholders’ Meeting, not be false or misleading with respect to any material fact, or omit to state any material fact necessary to correct any statement in any earlier communication with respect to the solicitation of any proxy for the meeting in connection with which the Proxy Statement shall be mailed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have no responsibility for the truth or accuracy of any information with respect to Acquiror or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their Affiliates contained in the Registration Statement or the Proxy Statement or in any document submitted to, or other communication with, any Regulatory Authority.

Section 5.8 Operating Functions . Subject to any limitations imposed by any Regulatory Authority, the Company and the Bank shall cooperate with Acquiror and Acquiror Bank in connection with planning for the efficient and orderly combination of the parties and the operation of Acquiror Bank (including the former operations of the Bank) after the Bank Merger , and in preparing for the consolidation of appropriate operating functions to be effective on the Effective Date or such later date as Acquiror may decide. The Company shall take any action Acquiror may reasonably request prior to the Effective Time to facilitate the combination of the operations of the Bank with Acquiror Bank, which shall be at no cost to the Company or the Bank for such actions not specifically required by this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company shall provide office space and support services (and other reasonably requested support and assistance) in connection with the foregoing, and senior officers of the Company and Acquiror shall meet from time to time as the Company or Acquiror may reasonably request, to review the financial and operational affairs of the Company and the Bank, and the Company shall give due consideration to Acquiror’s input on such matters, with the understanding that, notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement: (a) neither Acquiror nor Acquiror Bank shall under any circumstance be permitted to exercise control of the Company, the Bank or any of the Company’s other Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time; (b) neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be under any obligation to act in a manner that could reasonably be deemed to constitute anti-competitive behavior under federal or state antitrust laws; and (c) neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to agree to any material obligation that is not contingent upon the consummation of the Merger.

Section 5.9 Insider Agreements .

(a) Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company shall cause to be executed and delivered to Acquiror a voting and support agreement, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A , approving this Agreement and the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions, executed by each member of the Company Board.

Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall accrue the costs associated with any payments due under any Company Benefit Plan based upon the occurrence of the Contemplated Transactions, including without limitation any change of control or severance agreements, retention or stay bonus programs, or other similar arrangements, subject, however, to the provisions of Section 8.15 of this Agreement.

Section 5.11 Title to Real Estate . As soon as practical after the date hereof, but in any event no later than sixty (60) days after the date hereof, the Company shall obtain and deliver to Acquiror, with respect to all interests in real property owned by the Company and its Subsidiaries, other than property carried as OREO, an owner’s preliminary report of title covering a date subsequent to the date hereof, issued by a title insurance company that is reasonably acceptable to Acquiror, showing fee simple title in the Company or its Subsidiary in such real property with coverage over all standard exceptions (other than those exceptions that a title company will only delete if a survey is provided to the title company) and subject to no liens, mortgages, security interests, encumbrances or charges of any kind except for any Permitted Exceptions. The cost of obtaining any preliminary report of title discussed in this Section 5.11 shall be borne by the Company. With respect to the property carried as OREO, the Company shall provide reasonably acceptable written proof of ownership by the Company and its Subsidiaries of such OREO property.

Section 5.12 Surveys . Acquiror may, in its discretion, within forty-five (45) days after the date hereof, obtain at Acquiror’s expense a current American Land Title Association survey of any or all parcels of real property owned by the Company and its Subsidiaries, other than property carried as OREO, disclosing no survey defects that would materially impair the use thereof for the purposes for which it is held or materially impair the value of such property.

Section 5.13 Environmental Investigation .

(a) Acquiror may, in its discretion, within forty-five (45) days after the date of this Agreement, obtain at Acquiror’s expense, a Phase I environmental site assessment to be delivered only to Acquiror for each parcel of real property in which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries holds an interest (each a “ Phase I Report ”), conducted by an independent professional consultant reasonably acceptable to Acquiror to determine if any real property in which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries holds any interest contains or gives evidence of any adverse environmental condition or any violations of Environmental Laws on any such property. If a Phase I Report discloses any violations or adverse environmental conditions, or reports a reasonable suspicion thereof, then Acquiror may promptly obtain, at the Acquiror’s expense, a Phase II environmental report with respect to any affected property which report shall contain an estimate of the cost of any remediation or other follow-up work that may be necessary to address those violations or conditions in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements (each a “ Phase II Report ,” and collectively referred to with the associated Phase I Report, an “ Environmental Report ”). Acquiror shall have no duty to act upon any information produced by an Environmental Report for the benefit of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any other Person, but shall provide such information to the Company upon the Company’s request.

37

(b) Upon receipt of the estimate of the costs of all follow-up work to an Environmental Report, Acquiror and the Company shall attempt to agree upon a course of action for remediation of any adverse environmental condition or violation suspected, found to exist, or that would tend to be indicated by an Environmental Report. The estimated total cost for completing all necessary work plans or removal or remediation actions is referred to collectively as the “ Remediation Cost .” If the aggregate Remediation Cost for the total parcels of property in which the Company or its Subsidiaries holds an interest exceeds $500,000, Acquiror or the Company may, at its sole option, terminate this Agreement. In any event, the Remediation Cost shall be accrued by the Company prior to Closing and reflected on the Closing Balance Sheet.

Section 5.14 Additional Accruals and Reserves . At Acquiror’s request, the Company will cause the Bank to establish such additional accruals and reserves as may be necessary to conform the Bank’s accounting and credit loss reserve practices and methods to those of Acquiror and Acquiror’s plans with respect to the conduct of the Bank’s business after the Merger; provided that no such additional accruals or reserves will impact the calculation of Adjusted Tangible Equity as contemplated under Section 8.15 ; and provided further , that Acquiror acknowledges that establishing such accruals and reserves and provision for such costs and expenses will not (a) be deemed to cause the Company Financial Statements to have been prepared other than in accordance with GAAP, (b) constitute or result in a Material Adverse Effect with respect to the Company, or (c) constitute a breach of any provision of this Agreement by the Company.

Section 5.15 Payment of Outstanding Indebtedness . On or before the Closing Date, the Company shall repay or cause to be repaid the outstanding indebtedness of the Company to BMO Harris Bank, N.A., the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago and the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, including all accrued and unpaid interest.

(b) For a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time or, if such term coverage is not available, such other maximum period of coverage available, Acquiror shall maintain in effect at its expense the Company’s current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance covering each Person currently covered by the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy for acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time; provided, however , that in no event shall Acquiror be required to expend in the aggregate an amount in excess of 375% of the amount of the aggregate premiums paid by the Company for fiscal year 2015 for such purpose and, if Acquiror is unable to obtain such policy (or substitute policy) as a result of this proviso, Acquiror shall obtain as much comparable insurance and for as long a period of time as is available following the Effective Time by payment of such amount; provided further , that: (i) Acquiror or the Company, with the consent of Acquiror, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, may substitute therefor “tail” policies the material terms of which, including coverage and amount, are no less favorable in any material respect to such directors and officers than the Company’s existing policies as of the date hereof; or (ii) Acquiror may request that the Company obtain such extended reporting period coverage under the Company’s existing insurance programs (to be effective as of the Effective Time).

(c) The provisions of this Section 6.2 shall survive consummation of the Merger and Bank Merger and are intended to be for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, each Indemnified Party, his or her heirs and his or her legal representatives. In the event Acquiror or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) liquidates, dissolves, transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, to the extent necessary, proper provision shall be made so that such successor and assign of Acquiror and its successors and assigns assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.2 .

Effective as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall terminate the change in control agreements of the Company’s executive officers, preserving by contract the restrictive covenants of Section 3 thereunder, and pay, or provide for payment of, in full consideration for such cancellations the amounts Previously Disclosed to Acquiror; provided that, in the event that the amounts Previously Disclosed to Acquiror, either individually or in conjunction with a payment or benefit under any other plan, agreement or arrangement that is aggregated for purposes of Code Section 280G (in the aggregate, “ Total Payments ”), would constitute an “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code that is subject to the Tax imposed by Section 4999 of such Code, then the amounts Previously Disclosed to Acquiror shall be reduced such that the value of the Total Payments that each counterparty is entitled to receive shall be $1.00 less than the maximum amount which the counterparty may receive without becoming subject to the excise tax or resulting in a disallowance of a deduction of the payment of such amount under Section 280G of the Code. Any such Previously Disclosed amounts not paid on or before the Effective Time shall be paid by Acquiror within ten (10) business days following the Effective Time. It is the intent of the parties, but not a requirement, that prior to the Closing Date, Acquiror shall enter into an employment agreement with each of Messrs.

(b) For all purposes (other than purposes of benefit accruals) under the Acquiror Benefit Plans providing benefits to the Covered Employees (the “ New Plans ”), each Covered Employee shall be credited with his or her years of service with the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective predecessors to the same extent as such Covered Employee was entitled to credit for such service under any applicable Company Benefit Plan in which such Covered Employee participated or was eligible to participate immediately prior to the Transition Date; provided, however , that the foregoing shall not apply to the extent that its application would result in a duplication of benefits with respect to the same period of service.

(c) In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, as of the Transition Date, Acquiror shall, or shall cause the Surviving Entity to, use commercially reasonable efforts to provide that: (i) each Covered Employee shall be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in any and all New Plans to the extent coverage under such New Plan is similar in type to an applicable Company Benefit Plan in which such Covered Employee was participating immediately prior to the Transition Date (such Company Benefit Plans prior to the Transition Date collectively, the “ Old Plans ”); (ii) for purposes of each New Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical, vision or similar benefits to any Covered Employee, all pre-existing condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements of such New Plan shall be waived for such Covered Employee and his or her covered dependents, unless such conditions would not have been waived under the Old Plan in which such Covered Employee, as applicable, participated or was eligible to participate immediately prior to the Transition Date; and (iii) any eligible expenses incurred by such Covered Employee and his or her covered dependents during the portion of the plan year of the Old Plan ending on the Transition Date shall be taken into account under such New Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Covered Employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such New Plan.

From and after the date of this Agreement and until the Effective Time, each of Company and Acquiror shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Merger to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and will not knowingly take any action, cause any action to be taken, fail to take any action or cause any action to fail to be taken which action or failure to act could prevent the Merger from qualifying as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. Following the Effective Time, neither Acquiror nor any Affiliate of Acquiror knowingly shall take any action, cause any action to be taken, fail to take any action, or cause any action to fail to be taken, which action or failure to act could prevent the Merger from qualifying as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.
