DIRECTORS DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

OF

MARSHALL & ILSLEY CORPORATION

as of August 16, 2007

Recitals

The Board of Directors of Marshall & Ilsley Corporation (“the Company”) initially established this Directors Deferred Compensation Plan, effective as of January 1, 1985 (the “Plan”). The Plan was amended and restated effective January 1, 1995 and February 12, 1998, and further amended and restated effective August 21, 2003 and August 16, 2007. The purpose of the Plan is to allow the Company’s directors to elect to defer their compensation for serving on the Company’s Board (including the deferral of gains on the exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted stock). Such deferrals are deemed invested, at the directors’ elections, in either common stock of the Company (“Common Stock”) or Treasury Bills (with the exception of gains on the exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted stock which must be invested in Common Stock). At retirement from the Board, deferrals are paid out over a period of time previously designated by each director, unless otherwise provided herein.

Article III

Administration of Accounts

3.1 Account A .

(a) Amounts allocated to a Participant’s Account A shall be considered to be invested in Common Stock on a monthly basis, and such Participant’s Account A shall be credited with the equivalent number of shares of Common Stock (hereinafter referred to as “Credited Shares”) which the amount allocated would have purchased on a common investment date, which will typically be any of the first five business days of any month, determined in the sole discretion of an independent brokerage agent. In addition, to the extent Credited Shares are held on the record date for any dividend, each Participant’s Account A shall be credited with a number of additional Credited Shares resulting from the reinvestment of dividends on a common investment date, which will typically be any of the first five business days after the payment of the dividend, determined in the sole discretion of an independent brokerage agent.

(b) In the event of any distribution with respect to Common Stock other than a cash dividend, such as a stock split, stock dividend or similar transaction, each Participant’s Account A shall be credited with a number of additional Credited Shares or other consideration as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. Account A will be denominated in whole and fractional shares. In clarification of the foregoing, upon the occurrence of the Separation Transaction, a Participant’s Account A will hold both Common Stock and common stock of Metavante (hereafter, “Metavante Stock”) determined as if the Participant were a shareholder of the Company for the number of shares in his Account A immediately prior to the Separation Transaction.

(c) In the event of a Change in Control, a Participant’s Account A shall be credited with the same amount and type of consideration which a shareholder of the Company would have received holding the same number of shares of Common Stock as are held in the Participant’s Account A at the time of the payment of the consideration. If there is a shareholder election as to the type of consideration received in a Change in Control, a Participant’s Account A will be credited with consideration assuming that the Participant elected the maximum amount of stock which is available to electing shareholders, adjusted for any proration required because of oversubscription.

3.2 Account B . Amounts allocated to a Participant’s Account B shall be considered to be invested in U.S. Treasury Bills having a maturity of 13 weeks. Each Participant’s Account B shall be credited on the last day of each calendar quarter with the amount of interest which would have been earned if the balance in a Participant’s Account B, as of the last day of the previous calendar quarter (including interest credited hereunder for the previous calendar quarter) plus one-half of the applicable deferrals made during the subject calendar quarter were invested in U.S. Treasury Bills with a maturity of 13 weeks. The rate of interest applied will be determined by the Committee or its designees from time to time in accordance with guidelines disclosed to the Participants.

3.3 Account C .

(a) Net Shares and Restricted Units deferred pursuant to a Participant’s timely-filed election shall be allocated to a Participant’s Account C and shall be considered to be invested in Credited Shares. In addition, to the extent Credited Shares are held on the record date for any

dividend, each Participant’s Account C shall be credited with a number of additional Credited Shares resulting from the reinvestment of dividends on a common investment date, which will typically be any of the first five business days after the payment of the dividend, determined in the sole discretion of an independent brokerage agent.

(b) In the event of any distribution with respect to Common Stock other than a cash dividend, such as a stock split, stock dividend or similar transaction, each Participant’s Account C shall be credited with a number of additional Credited Shares or other consideration as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. Account C will be denominated in whole and fractional shares. In clarification of the foregoing, upon the occurrence of the Separation Transaction, a Participant’s Account C will hold both Common Stock and common stock of Metavante (hereafter, “Metavante Stock”) determined as if the Participant were a shareholder of the Company for the number of shares in his Account C (including Restricted Units) immediately prior to the Separation Transaction.

(c) In the event of a Change in Control, a Participant’s Account C shall be credited with the same amount and type of consideration which a shareholder of the Company
