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").

Subject only to the Conditions, Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Sub to, accept for payment and pay for all Shares validly tendered pursuant to the Offer and not withdrawn prior to the expiration date of the Offer as promptly as practicable following the expiration date of the Offer. Sub expressly reserves the right to amend the terms and conditions of the Offer, PROVIDED that without the consent of the Company, no amendment may be made which (i) decreases the price per Share or changes the form of consideration payable in the Offer, (ii) decreases the number of Shares sought, or (iii) changes any of the Conditions or imposes additional conditions to the Offer or amends any other term of the Offer in either case in any manner adverse to the holders of Shares (it being understood that extensions of the Offer as contemplated by this Section 1.1(a) are not adverse to the holders of Shares); and PROVIDED, FURTHER, that the Minimum Condition (as defined in Exhibit A hereto) is for the benefit of the Company and may not be waived without the Company's consent. The Offer may only be extended with the prior written consent of the Company or as required by law; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, Parent and Sub may extend the Offer without the consent of the Company (A) if at the scheduled expiration date of the Offer any of the Conditions shall not have been satisfied or waived or (B) for any period required by any Laws (as hereinafter defined) applicable to the Offer and PROVIDED, FURTHER, that if the Conditions are not satisfied or, to the extent permitted by this Agreement, waived as of any scheduled expiration date, Parent and Sub shall extend the Offer from time to time for up to five (5) business days at a time (or such longer period as shall be approved by the Company) until the earlier of the consummation of the Offer or sixty (60) calendar days after the date hereof, provided that such extension shall not be required if in the reasonable judgment of Parent or Sub, any Condition is incapable of being satisfied prior to the expiration of the sixty (60) calendar days. Upon the terms hereof and subject to the Conditions, Sub will accept for payment and purchase all Shares validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Offer.
