TCF EMPLOYEES STOCK PURCHASE PLAN- SUPPLEMENTAL PLAN (As amended and restated effective April 27, 2016)

I.    Purpose of Plan; Effective Date of Plan.

The purpose of the TCF Employees Stock Purchase Plan-Supplemental Plan (the “Plan”) is to provide Eligible Employees with supplemental retirement benefits as set forth herein to remedy certain limitations or reductions in benefits under the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”), as set forth herein, to such Employees under the TCF Employees Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP Plan”). The Plan was originally effective for benefits based on Covered Compensation earned in calendar year 2005 and thereafter. The Company hereby adopts this amendment and restatement effective January 1, 2011. A previous plan, the Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan - ESPP Plan (the “Previous Plan”) was and remains in effect for benefits based on Covered Compensation earned in calendar year 2004 and before and is a separate stand alone plan. This Plan does not make any material modifications to the Previous Plan. This Plan is intended to be exempt from the participation, vesting and funding provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), and is intended to be maintained “primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees” within the meaning of §§ 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a)(1) of ERISA.

The Plan is intended to satisfy the requirements for nonqualified deferred compensation plans set forth in IRC § 409A, and it shall be interpreted, administered and construed consistent with said intent.

This Plan is also intended to be a plan, program, or arrangement under 4 U.S.C. section 114 (the “State Taxation of Pension Income Act of 1995”) maintained solely for the purpose of providing retirement benefits for employees in excess of the limitations imposed by one or more of IRC sections referenced in such Act on contributions or benefits in qualified plans such as the ESPP Plan, and to be an “excess plan” as defined in Rule 16b-3 of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Whenever used in this Plan, the following terms shall have the respective meanings set forth below, unless a different meaning is required by the context in which the word is used. When the defined meaning is intended, the term is capitalized. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the ESPP Plan.

III.    Eligibility

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no employee shall be eligible for benefits under this Plan with respect to a particular Plan Year if the employee is not also an Active Participant in the ESPP Plan for that year. Individuals who become employees of an Employer as a result of a merger or acquisition shall not be eligible to participate under this Plan unless and until the Committee has identified them as Eligible Employees pursuant to this section (a).

IV.    Supplemental Benefits Related to the ESPP Plan.

    

(i) Prior to the beginning of each Plan Year, an Eligible Employee who elects to participate in this Plan for the Plan Year authorizes the Employer to reduce the Participant’s compensation by the amount by which such Employee’s Salary and/or Commission deferral contribution elected under the ESPP Plan is limited by the IRC Limitations, and credit such amount to the Participant’s account under this Plan as the Employee’s SERP Employee Contributions for the Plan Year.

(ii) Prior to June 30 of each Plan Year, an Eligible Employee who elects to participate in this Plan for the Plan Year authorizes the Employer to reduce the Participant’s Annual Bonus by the amount by which such Employee’s Annual Bonus contribution elected under the ESPP Plan is limited by the IRC Limitations, and credit such amount to the Participant’s account under this Plan as the Employee’s SERP Employee Contributions for the Plan Year.     

For each Plan Year an Eligible Employee elects to participate in this Plan and as a condition to receiving benefits from this Plan for that year, the Employee shall, prior to the first day of the Plan Year, irrevocably agree: (i) to make pre-tax contributions to the ESPP Plan equal to the maximum amount permitted under the ESPP Plan and (ii) not to make changes to pre-tax contributions to the ESPP Plan at any time during such Plan Year.

Any election by an Eligible Employee of SERP Employee Contributions pursuant to this section (a) shall be in writing, shall be made prior to the beginning of the Plan Year in which the services are performed (or with respect to the Annual Bonus, the date the election is required under paragraph (ii), above), shall be irrevocable when received by the Employer, and shall be applicable to all Covered Compensation earned during such Plan Year. Employees who first become Eligible Employees after the beginning of the Plan Year may elect to participate in this Plan within thirty (30) days after becoming Eligible Employees provided such election only applies to Salary and/or Commissions earned after the election is received by the Employer. This election shall not be available to an Employee who has previously been eligible to participate in any other plan maintained by a member of the Affiliated Group that is required to be aggregated with this Plan under Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(c). For purposes of the Annual Bonus, such election only applies to total bonus compensation for the performance period for such Bonus, multiplied by the ratio of the number of days remaining in the performance period after the election is made over the total number of days in the performance period.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in a Participant’s SERP Employee Contributions for a taxable year that results from the Participant’s action or inaction under the ESPP with respect to pre-tax contributions subject to the contribution restrictions under IRC §§ 401(a)(30) or 402(g), including an adjustment to a deferral election under the ESPP, shall not exceed the limit with respect to elective deferrals under IRC § 402(g)(1)(A), (B), and (C) in effect for the taxable year in which such action or inaction occurs.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the sum of a Participant’s Matching Contributions exceed 100% of the matching contribution the Participant would have received under the ESPP, absent any plan-based restrictions that reflect limits on qualified plan contributions under the Internal Revenue Code.

Effective January 1, 2010, for purposes of determining the amount of Employer Matching Contributions, no more than $275,000 of a Participant’s Commissions payable during the Plan Year shall be included in Covered Compensation.

Each Participant’s account in the Plan shall be divided into two sub-accounts: a “TCF Stock Account” and a “Diversified Account.” All shares of common stock of TCF Financial that are deemed to be held in a Participant’s account on the Effective Date shall be allocated as of that date to the participant’s TCF Stock Account. Any new amounts credited to a Participant’s account on or after the Effective Date shall be allocated to either the Participant’s TCF Stock Account or Diversified Account. The Sub-Accounts shall operate as follows:

General Distribution Rules. A Participant shall receive payment of his or her entire vested account in a single lump sum distribution (less applicable withholding) on the first to occur of the following in accordance with Appendix B:

A Participant’s deferral election shall be cancelled with respect to Covered Compensation earned after receipt of a hardship distribution pursuant to Treasury Regulation § 1.401(k)-1(d)(3) or an unforeseeable emergency distribution under Article IV(d)(v) of this Plan. Participants may not restart contributions to this Plan pursuant to Article IV(a) until the first day of the first Plan Year that begins at least six months after receipt of the hardship distribution or unforeseeable emergency distribution.

V.    Vesting.

A Participant shall be entitled to a benefit from the Employer Matching Contributions equal to his or her account balance attributable to such Contributions multiplied by the vesting percentage determined under the ESPP Plan that is applicable to the Participant under the ESPP Plan. In the event the Participant forfeits a portion of the account, and is subsequently reemployed, the forfeited portion shall be reinstated in the same manner as provided under the ESPP Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Participants with an account balance in the Plan on March 31, 2006 shall be subject to the vesting provisions of the Plan in effect on that date.

VI.    Committee.

The Committee shall have full power to construe, interpret and administer this Plan, including to make any determination required under this Plan and to make such rules and regulations as it deems advisable for the operation of this Plan. The Committee shall have sole and absolute discretion in the performance of their powers and duties under this Plan. A majority of the Committee shall constitute a quorum. Actions of the Committee shall be by a majority of persons constituting a quorum and eligible to vote on an issue. Meetings may be held in person or by telephone. Action by the Committee may be taken in writing without a meeting provided such action is executed by all members of the Committee. To the extent it is feasible to do so, determinations, rules and regulations of the Committee under this Plan shall be consistent with similar determinations, rules and regulations of the ESPP Plan. All determinations of the Committee shall be final, conclusive and binding unless found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been arbitrary and capricious. The Committee shall have authority to designate officers of TCF Financial and to delegate authority to such officers to receive documents which are required to be filed with the Committee, to execute and provide directions to the Trustee and other administrators, and to do such other actions as the Committee may specify on its behalf, and any such actions undertaken by such officers shall be deemed to have the same authority and effect as if done by the Committee itself.

VII.    Benefits Unfunded.

The rights of beneficiaries, survivors and participants to benefits from this Plan are solely as unsecured creditors of their Employers. Benefits payable under this Plan shall be payable from the general assets of the Employers and there shall be no trust fund or other assets secured for the payment of such benefits. In its discretion, an Employer may purchase or set aside assets, including annuity policies or through use of a grantor trust, to provide for the payment of benefits hereunder but such assets shall in all cases remain assets of the Employer and subject to the claims of the Employer’s creditors. This Plan constitutes a mere promise by the Employers to make benefit payments in the future, and it is intended to be unfunded for tax purposes and for purposes of Title I of ERISA.

VIII.    Beneficiaries and Survivors.

A Participant’s beneficiary or survivor under Article IV of this Plan shall be the same as the person(s)designated as such pursuant to or under the provisions of the ESPP Plan, unless the employee has designated in writing and filed with the Committee a different beneficiary for this Plan.

IX.    Amendments, Claims Procedure

X.    Plan Termination.

The Committee in its discretion may terminate the Plan and may accelerate distribution of Participant account balances to such time as the Committee shall determine notwithstanding the provisions of Article IV(d) in accordance with one of the following:

XI.    Miscellaneous.

As of December 31, 2006, 140,862 shares of TCF Financial Stock were credited to Participant accounts. On and after January 1, 2006, no more than an additional 3.0 million shares of TCF Financial Stock may be credited to Participant accounts, except that any share credits to a Participant which are forfeited pursuant to Article (V) may again be credited under the Plan.

If the Company shall at any time increase or decrease the number of its outstanding shares of Company common stock or change in any way the rights and privileges of such shares by means of the payment of a stock dividend or any other distribution upon such shares payable in Company common stock, or through a stock split, subdivision, consolidation, combination, reclassification, or re-capitalization involving the Company common stock, then the numbers, rights and privileges of the shares of Company common stock that are and may be credited under the Plan shall be increased, decreased, or changed in like manner as if such shares had been issued and outstanding, fully paid, and non-assessable at the time of such occurrence.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or any trust agreement for any related grantor trust established by an Employer (the “Trust”), TCF Financial stock or other assets contributed to the Trust by TCF Financial or any other Employer for the benefit of employees or service providers of TCF Financial or such Employer are subject to the claims of creditors (in the event of insolvency) of both TCF Financial and such Employer. In addition, such stock and assets are subject to the claims of creditors (in the event of insolvency) of any Employer from which benefits are due to a participant or beneficiary under the terms of the Plan. Nothing in this Appendix, however, shall relieve any Employer of its obligation to pay any benefits due from the Employer to a participant or beneficiary under the terms of the Plan.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or Trust, any TCF Financial stock or other assets not transferred to an Employer’s employees or their beneficiaries will revert to TCF Financial upon termination of the Trust.

These procedures are subject to interpretation and application by the Committee, whose interpretation is final.
