FORM OF AMENDED AND RESTATED REVOLVING NOTE

AMENDED AND RESTATED REVOLVING NOTE


$39,750,000.00		Chicago, Illinois Restatement Date: April 3, 2007 Original Note Date: February 11, 2000 (as amended)

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, PRIVATEBANCORP, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), promises to pay to the order of LASALLE BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association, or the holder hereof from time to time (“Lender”), at such place as may be designated in writing by Lender, the principal sum of THIRTY NINE MILLION SEVEN HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND AND NO/100THS DOLLARS ($39,750,000.00) (or so much thereof that has been advanced and remains outstanding), with interest thereon as hereinafter provided. It is contemplated that there will be advances and payments under this note (this “Note”) from time to time, but no advances or payments under this Note (including payment in full of the unpaid balance of principal hereof prior to maturity) shall affect or impair the validity or enforceability of this Note as to future advances hereunder. This Note is issued pursuant to the terms of an Amended and Restated Loan and Subordinated Debenture Purchase Agreement dated as of September 29, 2005, by and between Borrower and Lender (said Amended and Restated Loan and Subordinated Debenture Purchase Agreement together with the Agreed Upon Terms and Procedures, as each may be amended, restated, supplemented or modified from time to time, is referred to hereinafter as the “Loan Agreement”). All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Loan Agreement.

This Note represents a continuation of the indebtedness represented by that certain Revolving Note dated February 11, 2000 made by Borrower to Lender in the original principal amount of $18,000,000, as such note has been amended prior to the date hereof (the “Original Revolving Note”). The Original Revolving Note is amended, restated and replaced by this Note. This Note does not constitute a novation, discharge or satisfaction of the Original Revolving Note replaced hereby or of the indebtedness evidenced by said Original Revolving Note.

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. Such interest shall be due and payable, in arrears (i) for any LIBO Rate Tranche, on the last day of each LIBOR Period, and (ii) for any Base Rate Tranche, on the last day of each March, June, September and December, beginning March 31, 2007, and as otherwise 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 Revolving Loan Maturity Date. Additional principal payments shall be made in accordance with the provisions of 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 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.

A-1

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.

Provided that no Event of Default then exists, this Note may be prepaid only upon those terms and conditions set forth in the Loan Agreement.

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 4% of the amount of such unpaid interest payment.

From and after the Revolving Loan 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 2% 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.

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 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 in-house or staff 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

A-2

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 LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR ANY OTHER STATEMENTS OR ACTIONS OF BORROWER OR LENDER. BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS BEEN REPRESENTED IN THE SIGNING OF THIS NOTE AND IN THE MAKING OF THIS WAIVER BY INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL SELECTED OF ITS OWN FREE WILL, AND THAT IT HAS DISCUSSED THIS WAIVER WITH SUCH LEGAL COUNSEL. BORROWER FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (i) IT HAS READ AND UNDERSTANDS THE MEANING AND RAMIFICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (ii) THIS WAIVER HAS BEEN REVIEWED BY BORROWER AND BORROWER’S COUNSEL AND IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR LENDER TO ENTER INTO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, AND (iii) THIS WAIVER SHALL BE EFFECTIVE AS TO EACH OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS AS IF FULLY INCORPORATED THEREIN.

FORM OF AMENDED AND RESTATED SUBORDINATED DEBENTURE

AMENDED AND RESTATED SUBORDINATED DEBENTURE

THIS SUBORDINATED DEBENTURE IS NOT A SAVINGS ACCOUNT OR DEPOSIT AND IT IS NOT INSURED BY THE
FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION OR ANY FEDERAL AGENCY.



$75,000,000.00		Chicago, Illinois Restatement Date: April 3, 2007 Original Debenture Date: September 29, 2005

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, PRIVATEBANCORP, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to the order of LASALLE BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association, or any holder hereof from time to time (“Lender”), at such place as may be designated in writing by Lender, the principal sum of SEVENTY-FIVE MILLION AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($75,000,000.00) (or so much thereof that has been advanced and remains outstanding) with interest thereon as hereinafter provided. This Subordinated Debenture (this “Subordinated Debenture”) is issued pursuant to the terms of an Amended and Restated Loan and Subordinated Debenture Purchase Agreement dated as of September 29, 2005, by and between Borrower and Lender (said Amended and Restated Loan and Subordinated Debenture Purchase Agreement together with the Agreed Upon Terms and Procedures, as each may be amended, restated, supplemented or modified from time to time, is referred to hereinafter as the “Loan Agreement”). All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Loan Agreement.

This Subordinated Debenture represents a continuation of the indebtedness represented by that certain Subordinated Debenture dated September 29, 2005 issued by Borrower to Lender in the original principal amount of $25,000,000, as such debenture has been amended prior to the date hereof (the “Original Debenture”). The Original Debenture is amended, restated and replaced by this Subordinated Debenture. This Subordinated Debenture does not constitute a novation, discharge or satisfaction of the Original Debenture replaced hereby or of the indebtedness evidenced by said Original Debenture.

All accrued interest and unpaid principal due and payable under this Subordinated Debenture shall be paid in full on or before the Subordinated Debenture Maturity Date.

The unpaid principal amount outstanding under this Subordinated Debenture from time to time shall bear interest before maturity in accordance with the Loan Agreement, computed on the basis of a 360-day year and charged for actual days elapsed. Under certain circumstances as provided in the Loan Agreement, overdue interest payments under this Subordinated Debenture shall bear interest from the due date thereof until paid at a daily rate equal to the Default Rate of Interest, computed on the basis of a 360-day year and charged for actual days elapsed, except as otherwise provided in the Loan Agreement.

All accrued interest shall be payable at Lender’s principal place of business on a quarterly basis in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December commencing March 31, 2007. The outstanding unpaid principal balance of this Subordinated Debenture shall be payable in one installment on the Subordinated Debenture Maturity Date. Whenever any payment to be made under this Subordinated Debenture shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made

B-1

on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of interest due upon this Subordinated Debenture. There shall be no penalties or other charges payable by Borrower to Lender hereunder other than those payments described in this Subordinated Debenture or in the Loan Agreement. Borrower may prepay all or, from time to time, part of the outstanding unpaid principal balance under this Subordinated Debenture at any time without penalty.

This Subordinated Debenture is not secured by any assets of Borrower.

So long as any portion of the unpaid principal of this Subordinated Debenture is deemed to be Tier 2 Capital of Borrower in accordance with the rules and regulations of the FRB applicable to the capital status of the subordinated debt of bank holding companies, the rights of Lender to the principal sum hereunder or any part hereof and to any accrued interest thereon shall remain subject and subordinate (in accordance with SR 92-37 issued by the FRB on October 15, 1992) to the claims of creditors of Borrower with respect to the following (“Senior Claims”) (a) borrowed and purchased money, (b) similar obligations arising from off-balance-sheet guaranties and direct-credit substitutes, and (c) obligations associated with derivative products such as interest-rate and foreign exchange-rate contracts, commodity contracts, and similar arrangements (clauses (a), (b) and (c) expressly exclude Trust Preferred Indebtedness, as defined below, with respect to which, accordingly, the rights of Lender are not subordinate). Upon dissolution or liquidation of Borrower, no payment of principal, interest or premium (including post-default interest) shall be due and payable under the terms of this Subordinated Debenture until all Senior Claims (which expressly exclude Trust Preferred Indebtedness) shall have been paid in full. If this Subordinated Debenture ceases to be deemed to be Tier 2 Capital of Borrower in accordance with the rules and regulations of the FRB applicable to the capital status of the subordinated debt of bank holding companies, other than due to the limitations imposed by the second sentence of 12 C.F.R §250.166(e), which limits the capital treatment of subordinated debt during the five years immediately preceding the maturity date of the subordinated debt, Borrower shall: immediately notify Lender; and immediately upon request of Lender execute and deliver all such agreements (including without limitation pledge agreements and replacement notes) as Lender may request in order to restructure the obligation evidenced hereby as a senior secured obligation of Borrower. If Borrower fails to execute such agreements as required by Lender within 30 days of Lender’s request, such failure shall be deemed to be an Event of Default as provided in Section 8.1.1 of the Loan Agreement.

As used herein, “Trust Preferred Indebtedness” shall mean indebtedness incurred in connection with, or relating to, any trust preferred securities caused to be issued by, or reflected in the consolidated financial statements of, Borrower, including the subordinated indebtedness evidenced by the Junior Subordinated Debentures.

If an Event of Default shall occur, Lender shall have the rights set forth in Section 8.6 of the Loan Agreement.

If any attorney is engaged by Lender to enforce or defend any provision of this Subordinated Debenture 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 in acting with respect to the terms of this Subordinated Debenture or any of the other Loan Documents shall constitute a waiver of any breach, default or failure of condition under this Subordinated Debenture, the Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or the obligations secured thereby. A waiver of any term of this Subordinated Debenture 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 Subordinated Debenture and the terms of any other document related to the Loan evidenced by this Subordinated Debenture, the terms of this Subordinated Debenture shall prevail.

B-2

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 Subordinated Debenture. In addition, Borrower expressly agrees that this Subordinated Debenture 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 Subordinated Debenture 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 Subordinated Debenture 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 in-house or staff attorneys and the reasonable fees and expenses of any other experts or consultants.

All agreements between Borrower and Lender (including, without limitation, this Subordinated Debenture 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 Subordinated Debenture (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.

Lender may sell, assign, pledge or otherwise transfer or encumber any or all of its interest under this Subordinated Debenture at any time and from time to time. In the event of a transfer, all terms and conditions of this Subordinated Debenture shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the transferee after such transfer.

Upon receipt of notice from Lender advising Borrower of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Subordinated Debenture, Borrower shall, execute and deliver in lieu thereof a new debenture in principal amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated debenture, dated the date to which interest has been paid on such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Subordinated Debenture.

Unless otherwise provided in the Loan Agreement, all payments on account of the indebtedness evidenced by this Subordinated Debenture 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.

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.
