• The Offering In accordance with the plan of conversion adopted by its Board of Directors (the "Plan"), the Company will offer and sell up to 714,200 shares of its common stock, par value, $.01 per share (the "Shares" or "Common Stock"), in a subscription offering (the "Subscription Offering") to (1) depositors of the Bank with account balances of $50.00 or more as of December 31, 1998 ("Eligible Account Holders"), (2) depositors of the Bank with account balances of $50.00 or more as of September 30, 2001 ("Supplemental Eligible Account Holders"), (3) depositors of the Bank as of the close of business on ___________, who continue as depositors as of the Special Meeting who are not Eligible Account Holders or Supplemental Eligible Account Holders ("Other Members"), and (4) employees, officers and directors of the Bank to the extent they are not Eligible Account Holders, Supplemental Eligible Account Holders, or Other Members. To the extent Shares remain unsold in the Subscription Offering, the Company is offering for sale in a direct community offering (the "Community Offering" and when referred to together with the Subscription Offering, the "Subscription and Community Offering") the Shares not so subscribed for or ordered in the Subscription Offering to members of the general public, with preference given to natural persons residing in the Illinois county of DuPage ("Other Subscribers"), (all such offerees being referred to in the aggregate as "Eligible Offerees"). It is anticipated that shares not subscribed for in the Subscription and Community Offering will be offered to certain members of the general public on a best efforts basis through a selected dealers arrangement (the "Public Offering") (the Subscription Offering, Community Offering and Public Offering are collectively referred to as the "Offering"). It is acknowledged that the purchase of Shares in the Offering is subject to the maximum and minimum purchase limitations as described in the Plan and that the Company and the Bank may reject, in whole or in part, any orders received in the Community Offering or Public Offering. The Company will issue the Shares at a purchase price of $10.00 per share (the "Purchase Price").

• The Offer (a) Provided that this Agreement shall not have been terminated in accordance with Article VIII and none of the events set forth in Annex A shall have occurred or be existing (unless such event shall have been waived by Merger Sub), Parent shall cause Merger Sub to commence, and Merger Sub shall commence, the Offer at the Per Share Amount as promptly as reasonably practicable after the date hereof, but in no event later than five business days after the public announcement of Merger Sub's intention to commence the Offer. The Offer will be made pursuant to an Offer to Purchase and related Letter of Transmittal containing the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. The initial expiration date of the Offer shall be the twentieth business day from and after the date the Offer is commenced (the "Initial Expiration Date").

Merger Sub expressly reserves the right to waive any such condition (other than the Minimum Condition), to increase the price per Share payable in the Offer, and to make any other changes in the terms and conditions of the Offer; provided, however, that (notwithstanding Section 9.5) no change may be made which (A) decreases the price per Share payable in the Offer, (B) reduces the maximum number of Shares to be purchased in the Offer, (C) imposes conditions to the Offer in addition to those set forth in Annex A, (D) amends or changes the terms and conditions of the Offer in any manner adverse to the holders of Shares (other than Parent and its Subsidiaries), (E) changes or waives the Minimum Condition, (F) changes the form of consideration payable in the Offer or (G) except as provided below or required by any rule, regulation, interpretation or position of the Commission applicable to the Offer, changes the expiration date of the Offer.

In addition, Parent and Merger Sub agree that Merger Sub shall from time to time extend the Offer, if requested by the Company, (i) if at the Initial Expiration Date (or any extended expiration date of the Offer, if applicable), any of the conditions to the Offer other than the Minimum Condition shall not have been waived or satisfied, and the Minimum Condition shall have been satisfied, until (taking into account all such extensions) the earlier of August 31, 2000 or such earlier date upon which any such condition shall not be reasonably capable of being satisfied prior to August 31, 2000; or (ii) if at the Initial Expiration Date (or any extended expiration date of the Offer, if applicable), all of the conditions to the Offer other than the Minimum Condition shall have been waived or satisfied and the Minimum Condition shall not have been satisfied, until the earlier of ten (10) business days after such expiration date or August 31, 2000. Upon the prior satisfaction or waiver of all the conditions to the Offer, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Merger Sub will, and Parent will cause Merger Sub to, accept for payment, purchase and pay for, in accordance with the terms of the Offer, all shares of Company Common Stock validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Offer as soon as reasonably practicable after the expiration of the Offer. The Per Share Amount shall, subject to applicable withholding of taxes, be net to the seller in cash, without interest thereon, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Offer (including, without limitation, the Minimum Condition), Merger Sub shall accept for payment and pay, as promptly as practicable after expiration of the Offer, for all Shares validly tendered and not withdrawn.
