except and to the extent otherwise provided in paragraphs 9 and 10 hereof, or in the event of a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan). In the event of a Change in Control, this option shall become immediately exercisable. No fractional shares shall be issuable on exercise of this Option and if the application of the maximum percentage set forth above would result in a fractional share, the number of shares exercisable shall be rounded up to the next full share.

3.          Deferral of Exercise.  Although Bank Mutual intends to exert its best efforts so that the shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Option will be registered under, or exempt from the registration requirements of the federal Securities Act of 1933 and any applicable state securities law at the time the Option first becomes exercisable, if the exercise of this Option or any part of it would otherwise result in the violation by Bank Mutual of any provision of the Act or of any state securities law, Bank Mutual may require that such exercise be deferred until Bank Mutual has taken appropriate action to avoid any such violation.

4.          Term of Option and Conditions of Exercise of Option During Optionee’s Lifetime.  During the Optionee’s lifetime this Option may be exercised only by him/her. All rights to exercise this Option shall expire ten years from the date this Option is granted. Except as provided in paragraphs 9 and 10, this Option may not be exercised unless Optionee is, at the date of the exercise, in the service of Bank Mutual or a Subsidiary and shall have been continuously so serving as a director since the date hereof.

5.          Nontransferability.  This Option shall not be transferable by the Optionee except by will or the laws of descent and distribution and shall be exercisable during Optionee’s lifetime only by Optionee or by his/her guardian or legal representative. The Option herein granted and the rights and privileges pertaining thereto shall not be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated in any way, whether by operation of law or otherwise, and shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar process.

6.          Method of Exercising Option.  This Option shall be exercised by Optionee delivering a written notice specifying the number of shares the Optionee desires to purchase to the committee designated by the Board of Directors of Bank Mutual (the “Committee”), which shall initially be the Compensation Committee of the Board, at its principal business office, on any business day, and by paying Bank Mutual in full the option price of the shares being acquired at the time.

7.          Manner of Payment.  The option price shall be payable on exercise of this Option or any part of this Option and may be paid in full in cash or, in the discretion of the Committee, in shares of stock of Bank Mutual, valued at their Fair Market Value determined as of the date of exercise of the Option, or, in a combination of cash and shares of Bank Mutual’s stock.

8.          Delivery of Shares; Rights as Shareholder.  As soon as practicable after Optionee has exercised the Option and paid the exercise price, Bank Mutual shall issue to Optionee the number of shares of Bank Mutual stock covered by the option exercise. Optionee shall not be deemed the holder of any shares covered by this Option until such shares are issued to him/her.

9.          Death or Disability of Optionee.  In the event that the service of Optionee shall cease because of death or as a result of disability (as defined in Section 105(d)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code) this Option, whether or not otherwise exercisable at the time of such termination, shall be exercisable at any time within one year after such termination of service, in the case of Optionee’s death, by the estate of Optionee or by a person who acquired the right to exercise this Option by bequest or inheritance from Optionee or, in the case of disability, by Optionee subject to the condition that this Option shall not be exercisable after the expiration of ten years from the date it is granted. This Option or any portion of this Option not so exercised shall terminate.

10.         Other Termination.  If the service of Optionee is terminated for any reason other than death or disability as defined in paragraph 9, but is not terminated for cause, this Option to the extent that it is otherwise exercisable on the date of such termination shall be exercisable at any time within one year thereafter, but not later than the date on which this Option would otherwise expire. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Optionee’s service is terminated by retirement in accordance with Bank Mutual’s normal retirement policies, as determined by the Committee, this Option, whether or not otherwise exercisable at the time of such termination, shall be exercisable at any time within one year after the date of such termination, but not later than the date on which this Option would otherwise expire. This Option or any portion of this Option not so exercised shall terminate. However, notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, if the service of Optionee is terminated for cause, as determined by the Committee, this Option shall be deemed terminated and not exercisable by such Optionee.

11.         Changes in Stock.  In the event of any recapitalization, stock split or reverse split, stock dividend, merger in which Bank Mutual is the surviving corporation, combination or exchange of shares or other capital change affecting the common stock of Bank Mutual, the Committee shall make, subject to the approval of the Board of Directors of Bank Mutual, equitable and appropriate changes in the aggregate number and kind of shares subject to this Option, to prevent substantial dilution or enlargement of the rights granted to or available for Optionee; provided, however, that no changes shall be made which would cause this Option to fail to continue to qualify as an ISO within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended from time to time.

12.         No Service Agreement Intended.  This Agreement does not confer upon Optionee any right to continuation of service in any capacity by Bank Mutual or a Subsidiary and does not constitute an service agreement of any kind.
