2. CREDIT FACILITIES.
2.1. The Loans. Lender agrees to extend to Borrower a Term Loan in the aggregate principal
amount of $110 million in accordance with the terms of, and subject to the conditions set forth in,
this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents. The entire principal amount of Term Loan
shall be borrowed on the Borrowing Date. The principal amount of the Term Loan shall bear interest
per annum at a rate equal to the greater of: (i) 6.50%; and (ii) LIBOR plus 500 basis points. The
unpaid principal balance plus all accrued but unpaid interest on Term Loan shall be due and payable
on (i) the Maturity Date, (ii) such earlier date on which such amount shall become due and payable
on account of acceleration by Lender in accordance with the terms of Note and this Agreement or
(iii) the date on which Lender converts Note into shares of Common Stock, as set forth in
Section 2.8.1.
2.2. The Note. The Loan shall be evidenced by Note.
2.3. Maturity Date. On the Maturity Date, all sums due and owing under this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents with respect to the Loan shall be repaid in full, provided, however, that
Lender may elect to convert the outstanding principal and interest owed under the Note into shares
of Common Stock as set forth in Section 2.8. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Lender
has not made any commitments, either express or implied, to extend the terms of the Loan past its
Maturity Date, unless Borrower and Lender hereafter specifically otherwise agree in writing.
2.4. Collateral. Borrower’s Liabilities shall be secured by the collateral pledged pursuant
to the Pledge Agreement.
2.5. The Closing. The funding of the Loan (the “Closing”) will occur at the offices of
Barack Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxxx LLP, counsel to Lender, at 000 Xxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx
0000, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx at 9:30 a.m. on the date of Closing, or at such other place or time or on
such other date as the parties hereto may agree, by disbursing the proceeds of the Loan in
accordance with any Instructions received at least one Business Day prior to Closing.
2.6. Interest Rates.
2.6.1. Interest Rates. The amounts borrowed under the Note shall bear interest per annum as
set forth in Section 2.1. For purposes of determining the interest rate on the Note, LIBOR
shall be determined as of the first Business Day following an interest payment date and shall
continue until the next interest payment date; provided, however, that for the period between the
date on which the Disbursement is made and the first interest payment date, LIBOR shall be
determined as of the date on which the Disbursement is made.
2.6.2. Interest Payments. Subject to Section 2.6.3 hereof, interest accrued on the
outstanding amount of each Loan shall be payable by Borrower in arrears on the last day of each
March, June, September and December (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing on the first
such Interest Payment Date following the Closing and ended on the Maturity Date. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Borrower may, at its option, pay a portion of the interest payable on an Interest
Payment Date by issuing to Lender shares of Common Stock in lieu of cash, provided, however, that
at each Interest Payment Date Borrower shall pay an amount of interest payable in cash equal to or
greater than (i) the outstanding principal amount of the Loan multiplied by (ii) 5.00% (the “Cash
Interest Amount”). The amount of interest payable on an Interest Payment Date that may
be paid in shares of Common Stock in
7
lieu of cash shall equal (i) the total interest payment due and payable minus (ii) the Cash
Interest Amount (the “PIK Interest Amount”). If Borrower elects to pay a portion of the interest
payable on an Interest Payment Date through the issuance to Lender of shares of Common Stock, the
number of shares of Common Stock to be issued shall equal (i) the PIK Interest Amount, divided by
(ii) the lowest of (A) $0.60 per share, (B) the per share tangible book value of Borrower,
determined in accordance with GAAP, as of the last day of the quarter ending on the relevant
Interest Payment Date and (C) the Market Price of Common Stock.
2.6.3. Default Interest. Notwithstanding the rates of interest and the payment dates
specified in this Section 2.6, effective immediately upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of any Event of Default, the principal balance of the Loan then outstanding and, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, any interest payments not paid within 10 days after the same
becomes due shall bear interest payable upon demand at a rate which is 300 basis points per annum
in excess of the rate of interest otherwise payable pursuant to this Section 2.6 (the
“Default Rate”). In addition, all other amounts due Lender (whether directly or for reimbursement)
under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, if not paid within five Business Days
after becoming due or, in the event no time period is expressed, if not paid within five Business
Days after written notice from Lender that the same has become due, shall thereafter bear interest
at the foregoing Default Rate. Finally, any amount due on a Maturity Date which is not then paid
shall also bear interest thereafter at the Default Rate.
2.6.4. Computation of Interest. Interest shall be computed on the basis of the actual
number of days elapsed in the period during which interest accrues and a year of 360 days. In
computing interest, the date of funding shall be included and the date of payment shall be
excluded; provided, however, that if any funding is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one
day’s interest shall be paid thereon. The parties hereto intend to conform strictly to applicable
usury laws as in effect from time to time during the terms of the Loan. Accordingly, if the
transaction contemplated hereby would be usurious under applicable law (including the laws of the
United States of America, or of any other jurisdiction whose laws may be mandatorily applicable),
then, in that event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the Note,
Borrower and Lender agree that the aggregate of all consideration that constitutes interest under
applicable law that is contracted for, charged or received under or in connection with this
Agreement shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount of interest allowed by applicable
law, and any excess shall be credited to Borrower by Lender (or if such consideration shall have
been paid in full, such excess refunded to Borrower by Lender).
2.7. Payments.
2.7.1. Prepayment. Prior to January 1, 2013, Borrower may not prepay any principal
amount outstanding under the Note. On or after January 1, 2013, Borrower may, upon at least ten
Business Day’s notice to Lender, prepay, without penalty, the aggregate principal amount
outstanding under the Note, by paying the principal amount to be prepaid, together with unpaid
accrued interest thereon to but excluding the date of prepayment. This right to prepayment is
subject to Lender’s right to convert the principal amount outstanding under the Note into shares of
Common Stock as described in Section 2.8 hereof.
2.7.2. Manner and Time of Payment. Except as set forth in Section 2.6.2, all payments
of principal, interest and fees hereunder payable to Lender shall be made, without condition or
reservation of right and free of set-off or counterclaim, in U.S. dollars and by wire transfer
(pursuant to Lender’s written wire transfer instructions) of immediately available funds delivered
to Lender not later than 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) on the date due. Funds received by Lender after
that time and date shall be deemed to have been paid on the next succeeding Business Day.
8
2.7.3. Payments on Non-Business Days. Whenever any payment to be made by Borrower hereunder
shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, payments shall be made on the next
succeeding Business Day and such extension of time (but not such next succeeding Business Day)
shall be included in the computation of the payment of interest hereunder.

by Borrower’s certified public accountants (the “Financial Statements”). The Financial Statements
are true and correct in all material respects, are in accordance with the respective books of
account and records of Borrower and have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, or applicable
banking rules and regulations, as the case may be, applied on a basis consistent with prior
periods, and fairly and accurately present the consolidated financial condition of Borrower and its
Subsidiaries and its and their respective assets and liabilities and results of operations as of

under any conditional sales contract or other title retention agreement. Borrower and each of its
Subsidiaries enjoy peaceful and undisturbed possession under all of the material leases under which
they are operating, all of which permit the customary operations of Borrower and each of its
Subsidiaries. None of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in default and, to Borrower’s knowledge,
no event has occurred which with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would
reasonably be expected to constitute a default under any such lease, except for any default or
potential default which would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the
financial condition, results of operations or business of Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a
whole.
4.7. Legal and Authorized. The borrowing of the maximum principal amounts of the Loans, the
execution and performance of this Agreement, the Note, the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan

Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents has been duly authorized, executed and delivered and

13
respective terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,

Borrower of any of the Loan Documents, nor compliance by it with the terms and provisions hereof or
thereof: (a) will contravene any provision of any applicable law, statute, rule or regulation or
any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental instrumentality; (b) will
conflict with or result in any breach of any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of,
or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to

Subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, credit agreement,
loan agreement or any other agreement, contract or instrument to which Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries is a party or by which it or any of its property or assets is bound or to which it may
be subject; or (c) will violate any provision of the charter or bylaws of Borrower or the
organizational documents, charter or bylaws of any of its Subsidiaries, except in the case of (a),
(b) or (c), any such contravention, conflict, breach, default, lien or violation which would not
reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of
operations or business of Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or which would not
prevent Borrower from fulfilling its obligations under the Loan Documents in any material respect.
Neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is in material default in the performance, observance
or fulfillment of any of the terms, obligations, covenants, conditions or provisions contained in
any indenture or other agreement creating, evidencing or securing indebtedness of any kind or
pursuant to which any such indebtedness is issued, or other agreement or instrument to which
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which it or its properties may be bound or
affected, which default would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the
financial condition, results of operations or business of Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a
whole.

material restrictions imposed by, all governmental bodies, domestic or foreign, in respect of the
conduct of its business and the ownership of its property (including applicable statutes,

qualification and non-discrimination requirements in effect) of the Code, for obtaining the tax
benefits the Code thereupon permits with respect to such employee benefit plans. For purposes of
this Section, non-compliance with the Code and ERISA is material if such non-compliance would
reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of
operations or business of Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or the aquifer underlying any real property owned or leased by
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.

against Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries at law or in equity or before or by any federal, state,
municipal, or other governmental department, commission, board, or other administrative agency,
domestic or foreign. To the best knowledge of Borrower, nothing disclosed on Schedule 4.16 would,

condition, results of operations or business of Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole; and

event, describing such event, the steps, if any, that are being taken to cure it, and the time

charges, assessments, actions, suits and proceedings) that are initiated by, or brought before, any
court or Governmental Agency, in connection with Borrower or any Subsidiary, other than litigation
not involving the OTS, the FDIC or the FRB, which, if adversely decided, would not have a material
adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations or business of Borrower and its
Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.
6.3. Lender Expenses. Whether or not any Loan is made, Borrower will (a) pay all reasonable
costs and expenses of Lender incident to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement including,
without limitation, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation

this Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents, other than income taxes, (ii) any interest or
penalties resulting from nonpayment or delay in payment of such expenses, charges, disbursements,
liabilities or taxes, and (iii) any income taxes in respect of any reimbursement by Borrower for any of such violations,
taxes, interests or penalties paid by Lender. The obligations of Borrower under this Section
6.3 shall survive the repayment in full of the Note, the conversion of the Note or the
termination of this Agreement. Any of the foregoing amounts incurred by Lender and not paid by
Borrower within ten days after demand for payment shall bear interest from the date incurred at the
rate equal to 18.00% per annum and shall be deemed part of Borrower’s Liabilities hereunder.

quarterly beginning with the quarter ended June 30, 2010.

from the quarterly report filed by Bank with its primary federal regulator and shall be consistent
with the financial information and reports contemplated in Section 5.2.5; provided,
however, that in computing Bank’s return on Average Total Assets for any given quarter, Bank shall

its sole and absolute discretion, require that any amounts due and owing by Borrower to Lender
pursuant to this Section 8.2 be satisfied by delivering to a number of shares of Common
Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the amount due and owing by Borrower to Lender
pursuant to this Section 8.2 by (ii) the Conversion Price.
8.3. Other Remedies. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Lender may, in
addition to any other rights and remedies hereunder, exercise any and all remedies provided in any
of the other Loan Documents and other related documents.
8.4. No Lender Liability. To the extent permitted by law, Lender shall have no liability
for any loss, damage, injury, cost or expense resulting from any action or omission by it, or any
of its representatives, which was taken, omitted or made in good faith, other than any loss,
damage, injury, cost or expense arising by reason of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of
Lender or any of its Affiliates.
8.5. Lender’s Fees and Expenses. In case of any Event of Default hereunder, Borrower shall
pay Lender’s reasonable fees and expenses including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and
expenses, in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents
or other related documents.
9. MISCELLANEOUS.
9.1. Release; Indemnification. Borrower hereby releases Lender from any and all causes of
action, claims or rights which Borrower may now or hereafter have for, or which may arise from, any
loss or damage caused by or resulting from (a) any failure of Lender to protect, enforce or collect
in whole or in part any of the Collateral and (b) any other act or omission to act on the part of
Lender, its officers, agents or employees, except in each instance for willful misconduct or gross
negligence, and except for any breach by Lender of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold Lender and its Affiliates harmless from and against any
and all losses, liabilities, obligations, penalties, claims, fines, demands, litigation, defenses,
costs, judgments, suits, proceedings, actual damages, disbursements or expenses of any kind or
nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses) which may at any
time be either directly or indirectly imposed upon, incurred by or asserted or awarded against
Lender or any of Lender’s Affiliates in connection with, arising from or relating to Lender’s
entering into or carrying out the terms of this Agreement or being the holder of the Note, other
than any loss, liability, damage, suit, claim, expense, fees or costs arising solely by reason of
Lender’s or any of Lender’s Affiliates’ willful misconduct or gross negligence. This section shall
survive the termination of this Agreement.
9.2. Assignment and Participation. Lender may pledge or otherwise hypothecate all or any
portion of this Agreement or grant participations herein (provided Lender acts as agent for any
participants, except as provided below) or in any of its rights and security hereunder, including,
without limitation, the Note. Lender may also assign all or any part of the Loan and Lender’s
obligations in connection therewith to one or more commercial banks or other financial institutions
or investors with the consent of Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld (each
an “Assignee
27
Lender”). Lender shall notify Borrower in advance of the identity of any proposed Assignee Lender.
Upon delivery to Borrower of an executed copy of the Assignee Lender’s assignment and acceptance
(a) each such Assignee Lender shall be deemed to be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights
and obligations hereunder have been assigned and delegated to such Assignee Lender, such Assignee
Lender shall have the rights and obligations of Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents
and other related documents (b) Lender, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have
been assigned and delegated by it, shall be released from its obligations hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, the obligation to fund the Assignee Lender’s
share of the Loans) and other related documents, except for any liability from actions or omissions
of Lender occurring prior to such assignment. Within five Business Days after receipt of a copy of
the executed assignment and acceptance document, Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender a new
Note or Notes, as applicable (for delivery to the relevant Assignee Lender), evidencing such
Assignee Lender’s assigned portion of the Loans and a replacement Note or Notes, as applicable, in
the principal amount of the Loans retained by Lender (such Note to be in exchange for, but not in
payment of, the Note then held by Lender). Such Note shall be dated the date of the predecessor
Note. Lender shall xxxx the predecessor Note “exchanged” and deliver it to Borrower. Accrued
interest on that part of the predecessor Note evidenced by the new Note, and accrued fees, shall be
paid as provided in the assignment agreement between Lender and to the Assignee Lender. Accrued
interest on that part of the predecessor Note evidenced by the replacement Note shall be paid to
Lender. Accrued interest and accrued fees shall be so apportioned between the Notes and paid at the
same time or times provided in the predecessor Note and in this Agreement. Borrower authorizes
Lender to disclose to any prospective Assignee Lender any financial or other information pertaining
to Borrower or the Loans, provided that such prospective Assignee Lender agrees in writing not to
disclose such information to any other Person, except as required by law or regulation or as agreed
to by Borrower. In addition, Borrower agrees that, if so requested by Lender, Borrower will cause
all insurance policies, binders and commitments (including, without limitation, casualty insurance
and title insurance) required by the Loan Documents or other related documents to be delivered to
Lender to name the Assignee Lender as an additional insured or obligee, as Lender may request.
Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, and without the need to comply with any
of the formal or procedural requirements of this Agreement, including this Section 9.2,
Lender may at any time and from time to time pledge and assign all or any portion of its rights
under all or any of the Loan Documents and other related documents to a Federal Reserve Bank;
provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release Lender from its obligations thereunder.
9.3. Prohibition on Assignment. Borrower shall not assign or attempt to assign its rights
under this Agreement, either voluntarily or by operation of law.
9.4. Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence of this Agreement.
9.5. No Waiver. No waiver of any term, provision, condition, covenant or agreement herein
contained shall be effective unless set forth in a writing signed by Lender, and any such waiver
shall be effective only to the extent set forth in such writing. No failure to exercise or delay in
exercising, by Lender or any holder of the Note, of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall
operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or
privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right or
remedy provided by law. The rights and remedies provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not
exclusive of any right or remedy provided by law or equity. No notice or demand on Borrower in any
case shall, in itself, entitle Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or
other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of Lender to any other or further action
in any circumstances without notice or demand. No consent or waiver, expressed or implied, by
Lender to or of any breach or default by Borrower in the performance of its obligations hereunder
shall be deemed or construed to be a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the
performance of the same or any other obligations of Borrower hereunder.
28
Failure on the part of Lender to complain of any acts or failure to act or to declare an Event of
Default, irrespective of how long such failure continues, shall not constitute a waiver by Lender
of its rights hereunder or impair any rights, powers or remedies on account of any breach or
default by Borrower.
9.6. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is unenforceable or invalid or
contrary to law, or the inclusion of which would adversely affect the validity, legality or
enforcement of this Agreement, shall be of no effect and, in such case, all the remaining terms and
provisions of this Agreement shall subsist and be fully effective according to the tenor of this
Agreement the same as though any such invalid portion had never been included herein.
Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, if any provisions of this Agreement or the
application thereof are held invalid or unenforceable only as to particular persons or situations,
the remainder of this Agreement, and the application of such provision to persons or situations
other than those to which it shall have been held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected
thereby, but shall continue valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
9.7. Usury; Revival of Liabilities. All agreements between Borrower and Lender (including,
without limitation, this Agreement and any other Loan Documents) are expressly limited so that in
no event whatsoever shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to Lender exceed the highest lawful
rate of interest permissible under the laws of the State of Illinois. If, from any circumstances
whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision hereof or of any other Loan Documents, at the time
performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve exceeding the limit of validity
prescribed by law which a court of competent jurisdiction may deem applicable hereto, then, ipso
facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the highest lawful rate of interest
permissible under the laws of the State of Illinois, and if for any reason whatsoever, Lender shall
ever receive as interest an amount which would be deemed unlawful, such interest shall be applied
to the payment of the last maturing installment or installments of the indebtedness secured by the
Collateral (whether or not then due and payable) and not to the payment of interest. To the extent
that Lender received any payment on account of Borrower’s Liabilities and any such payment(s)
and/or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or
preferential, set aside, subordinated and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any
other Person under any bankruptcy act, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to
the extent of such payment(s) or proceeds received, Borrower’s Liabilities or part thereof intended
to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such payment(s)
and/or proceeds had not been received by Lender and applied on account of Borrower’s Liabilities;
provided, however, if Lender successfully contests any such invalidation, declaration, set aside,
subordination or other order to pay any such payment and/or proceeds to any third party, the
revived Borrower’s Liabilities shall be deemed satisfied.
9.8. Notices. Any notice which either party hereto may be required or may desire to give
hereunder shall be deemed to have been given if in writing and if delivered personally, or if
mailed, postage prepaid, by United States registered or certified mail, return receipt requested,
or if delivered by a responsible overnight courier, addressed:

given when delivered personally or, if mailed, five Business Days after it shall have been

9.9. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the parties and
their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns except that, unless Lender
consents in writing, no assignment made by Borrower in violation of this Agreement shall confer any
rights on any assignee of Borrower.
9.10. No Joint Venture. Nothing contained herein or in any document executed pursuant
hereto and no action or inaction whatsoever on the part of Lender, shall be deemed to make Lender a
partner or joint venturer with Borrower.
9.11. Brokerage Commissions. Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold Lender and its
Affiliates harmless from and against any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, penalties,
claims, fines, lost profits, demands, litigation, defenses, costs, judgments, suits, proceedings,
damages, disbursements or expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation,
attorneys’ fees and expenses), consequential or otherwise, which may at any time be either directly
or indirectly imposed upon, incurred by or asserted or awarded against Lender or any of its
Affiliates in connection with, arising out of or relating to any claim of a broker’s or finder’s
fee against Lender or any Person in connection with the transaction herein contemplated arising out
of or relating to Borrower’s or Lender’s action or inaction.
9.12. Publicity. Except in accordance with its obligations under the Exchange Act, Borrower
shall not publicize any Loan without the prior written consent of Lender.

this Agreement to be submitted or furnished to Lender shall be in form and substance satisfactory
to Lender.
9.14. Additional Assurances. Borrower agrees that, at any time or from time to time, upon
the written request of Lender, it will execute all such further documents and do all such other
acts and things as Lender may reasonably request to effectuate the transaction herein contemplated.
9.15. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Disclosure Schedule and Exhibits hereto
constitute the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter
hereof and may not be modified or amended in any manner other than by supplemental written
agreement executed by the parties hereto. In entering into this Agreement neither party has relied
upon any representation,
30
warranty, covenant, obligation or other agreement that is not set forth herein or in the other Loan
Documents.
9.16. Choice of Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the internal laws of the State of Illinois. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit any rights,
powers or privileges which Lender may have pursuant to any law of the United States of America or
any rule, regulation or order of any department or agency thereof and nothing herein shall be
deemed to make unlawful any transaction or conduct by Lender which is lawful pursuant to, or which
is permitted by, any of the foregoing.
9.17. Forum; Venue. To induce Lender to accept this Agreement and the other Loan Documents,
Borrower irrevocably agrees that all actions or proceedings in any way, manner, or respect, arising
out of or from or related to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be litigated only in
courts having suits within Chicago, Illinois. Borrower hereby consents and submits to the
jurisdiction of any local, state, or federal court located within said city. Borrower hereby waives
any right it may have to transfer or change the venue of any litigation brought against Borrower by
Lender.
9.18. No Third Party Beneficiary. This Agreement is made for the sole benefit of Borrower
and Lender, and no other person shall be deemed to have any privity of contract hereunder nor any
right to rely hereon to any extent or for any purpose whatsoever, nor shall any other person have
any right of action of any kind hereon or be deemed to be a third party beneficiary hereunder.
9.19. Legal Tender of United States. All payments hereunder shall be made in coin or
currency which at the time of payment is legal tender in the United States of America for public
and private debts.
9.20. Captions; Counterparts. Captions contained in this Agreement in no way define, limit

discretion or judgment by Lender, to the making of a determination or designation by Lender, to the
application of Lender’s discretion or opinion, to the granting or withholding of Lender’s consent
or approval, to the consideration of whether a matter or thing is satisfactory or acceptable to
Lender, or otherwise involving the decision making of Lender, shall be deemed to mean that Lender
shall decide unilaterally using its sole and absolute discretion or judgment.
9.22. Lender’s Representations and Warranties. Lender hereby represents and warrants to
Borrower that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents have been duly authorized, executed and
delivered, and are the legal, valid and binding obligations of Lender, enforceable in accordance
with their terms, except as enforceability thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, ANCHOR BANCORP WISCONSIN INC., a Wisconsin corporation
(“Borrower”), promises to pay to the order of BADGER ANCHOR HOLDINGS, LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company, or the holder hereof from time to time (“Lender”), at such place as may be
designated in writing by Lender, the principal sum of ONE HUNDRED TEN MILLION DOLLARS
($110,000,000), with interest thereon as hereinafter provided. This note (this “Note”) is issued
pursuant to the terms of a Loan Agreement of even date herewith by and between Borrower and Lender,
as amended, restated, supplemented or modified from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”). All
capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them
in the Loan Agreement.
Interest shall accrue on all sums as advanced and outstanding from time to time under this Note and
Loan Agreement as set forth in the Loan Agreement, and such interest shall be due and payable on
the last day of each March, June, September and December as set forth in the Loan Agreement,
commencing on the first such date following the Closing. All sums owing hereunder are payable in
lawful money of the United States of America, in immediately available funds; provided, however,
that a portion of each interest payment may be paid in shares of Borrower common stock as set forth
in the Loan Agreement.
The outstanding principal balance of this Note, together with all accrued and unpaid interest,
shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date. Additional principal payments shall be made in
accordance with the provisions of the Loan Agreement.
This Note is convertible into shares of Common Stock as set forth in the Loan Agreement.
This Note is issued pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement and is secured by and entitled to
the benefits of, among other things, the Term Collateral Documents. In case an Event of Default
shall occur and be continuing, the principal of this Note together with all accrued interest
thereon may, at the option of the holder hereof, immediately become due and payable on demand;
provided, however, that if any document related to this Note provides for automatic acceleration of
payment of sums owing hereunder, all sums owing hereunder shall be automatically due and payable in
accordance with the terms of that document.
Unless otherwise provided in the Loan Agreement, all payments on account of the indebtedness
evidenced by this Note shall be first applied to the payment of costs and expenses of Lender which
are due and payable, then to past-due interest on the unpaid principal balance and the remainder to
principal.
If any interest payment required hereunder is not received by Lender on or before the tenth day
following the date it becomes due, Borrower shall pay, at Lender’s option, a late or collection
charge equal to 5.00% of the amount of such unpaid interest payment.
From and after the Maturity Date, or such earlier date as all sums owing on this Note become due
and payable by acceleration or otherwise, or after the occurrence of an Event of Default, interest
shall be computed on all amounts then due and payable under this Note at a “Default Rate” equal to
300 basis points per annum (based on a 360-day year and charged on the basis of actual days
elapsed) in excess of the interest rate otherwise accruing under this Note.
A-1
If any attorney is engaged by Lender to enforce or defend any provision of this Note or any of the
other Loan Documents, or as a consequence of any Event of Default, with or without the filing of
any legal action or proceeding, then Borrower shall pay to Lender immediately upon demand all
attorneys’ fees and expenses, together with interest thereon from the date of such demand until
paid at the rate of interest applicable to the principal balance owing hereunder as if such unpaid
attorneys’ fees and expenses had been added to the principal.
No previous waiver and no failure or delay by Lender or Borrower in acting with respect to the
terms of this Note or any of the other Loan Documents shall constitute a waiver of any breach,
default or failure of condition under this Note, the Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents or the obligations secured thereby. A waiver of any term of this Note or any of the other
Loan Documents or of any of the obligations secured thereby must be made in writing and shall be
limited to the express written terms of such waiver. In the event of any inconsistencies between
the terms of this Note and the terms of any other document related to the Loan evidenced by this
Note, the terms of this Note shall prevail.
Except as otherwise provided in the Loan Agreement, Borrower expressly waives presentment, demand,
notice of dishonor, notice of default or delinquency, notice of acceleration, notice of protest and
nonpayment, notice of costs, expenses or losses and interest thereon, notice of late charges, and
diligence in taking any action to collect any sums owing under this Note or in proceeding against
any of the rights or interests in or to properties securing payment of this Note. In addition,
Borrower expressly agrees that this Note and any payment coming due hereunder may be extended from
time to time without in any way affecting the liability of any such party hereunder.
Time is of the essence with respect to every provision hereof. This Note shall be construed and
enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois, except to the extent that federal
laws preempt the laws of the State of Illinois, and all persons and entities in any manner
obligated under this Note consent to the jurisdiction of any Federal or State court within the
State of Illinois having proper venue and also consent to service of process by any means
authorized by Illinois or Federal law. Any reference contained herein to attorneys’ fees and
expenses shall be deemed to be to reasonable fees and expenses and to include all reasonable fees
and expenses of third-party attorneys and the reasonable fees and expenses of any other experts or
consultants.
All agreements between Borrower and Lender (including, without limitation, this Note and the Loan
Agreement, and any other documents securing all or any part of the indebtedness evidenced hereby)
are expressly limited so that in no event whatsoever shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to
Lender exceed the highest lawful rate of interest permissible under applicable law. If, from any
circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision hereof, the Loan Agreement or any other
documents securing all or any part of the indebtedness evidenced hereby at the time performance of
such provisions shall be due, shall involve exceeding the limit of validity prescribed by law which
a court of competent jurisdiction may deem applicable hereto, then, ipso facto, the obligation to
be fulfilled shall be reduced to the highest lawful rate of interest permissible under such
applicable laws, and if, for any reason whatsoever, Lender shall ever receive as interest an amount
which would be deemed unlawful under such applicable law, such interest shall be automatically
applied to the payment of the principal of this Note (whether or not then due and payable) and not
to the payment of interest or refunded to Borrower if such principal has been paid in full.
Any notice which either party hereto may be required or may desire to give hereunder shall be
governed by the notice provisions of the Loan Agreement.

BORROWER HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT THAT IT MAY HAVE TO A
TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION ARISING IN ANY WAY IN CONNECTION WITH THIS NOTE OR ANY OF THE OTHER
