Exhibit 10.1 (Rev. 11/26/08) MIDWEST BANC HOLDINGS,
INC. DIRECTORS DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN NOTICE OF
SPECIAL RISK OF LOSS A special risk
of loss is associated with a director’s decision to
participate in the Midwest Banc Holdings, Inc. Directors Deferred
Compensation Plan. This special risk of loss is separate and apart
from the risk of loss due to poor performance by the account or
fund to which the Director may suggest be the deemed investment of
his or her account balance. This special risk of loss is that, if
Midwest Banc Holdings, Inc. ever becomes insolvent or bankrupt, the
Director might lose all or a large part of his or her account under
the Plan. This special risk of loss
is a feature of the Plan because, unlike a trust holding the assets
of a tax-qualified retirement plan, this Plan cannot legally be
structured so that it is exempt from the creditors of Midwest Banc
Holdings, Inc. and still provide for the deferral of federal income
taxes. (As Amended and Restated Effective Generally
January 1, 2009)

Background . The Midwest Banc Holdings, Inc. Directors
Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Plan") is a deferred compensation

Subsequent Annual Elections; Irrevocability of
Elections.
|
(a) During the Election Period
prior to each subsequent Plan Year, each Director shall be given
the opportunity to elect to defer Director Fees by completing an
Election Form and returning it to the Plan Administrator. Any such
election shall only apply to Director Fees earned for services
performed during the Plan Year that follows the end of the Election
Period. (b) A Participant who made an
election to defer Director Fees for the prior Plan Year and does
not make a new election during the Election Period will not retain
his
5
or her election for the subsequent Plan Year. Such Participant
will be deemed to have elected not to defer his or her Director
Fees in the subsequent Plan Year. (c)
Any election made by a Participant pursuant to this
Section 3.03 shall be irrevocable through the end of
the applicable Plan Year.

|
3.06
|
|
Manner of Electing Deferral.
|
Each
Director who wishes to defer Director Fees to the Plan shall sign
and deliver to the Plan Administrator before becoming a Participant
an Election Form. The Election Form shall contain the following
information: (a) the percentage or
amount of Director Fees to be deferred;
(b) an allocation of the Director
Fees between the "Company Stock Subaccount" or the "Interest
Earning Subaccount"; (c) in the case
of a Director’s initial election only, an election of a lump
sum payment or of a number of annual installments (not to exceed
ten (10) years) for the payment of the Deferred Fees. Any
payment election made by a Director in connection with his or her
initial election to participate in the Plan shall apply to all
Deferred Fees, whether covered by the initial deferral election or
a subsequent deferral election; provided, however, that this
paragraph (c) shall not preclude subsequent modifications to
the payment election described immediately above that are made in
connection with a Director’s Separation from Service and in
compliance with Section 409A of the Code. ARTICLE IV

4.01
|
|
Maintenance of Accounts.
|
The
Plan Administrator shall cause a separate Account to be established
and maintained for each Participant, and within such Account, a
separate Company Stock Subaccount and Interest Earning Subaccount.
References herein to a Participant’s "Account" shall refer to
the Participant’s Company Stock Subaccount and the Interest
Earning Subaccount in the aggregate. A Participant’s Company
Stock Subaccount and Interest Earning Subaccount shall be charged,
as
6
applicable, with any payments from the respective subaccounts on
the date such payments are made pursuant to Section 6.11
.
|
4.02
|
|
Crediting of Director Fees to Participant Accounts.
|
An
amount equal to amount of Director Fees that a Participant elects
to defer will be credited to the Participant’s Account on the
last business day of each calendar quarter or at more frequent
intervals as determined to be necessary or appropriate by the Plan
Administrator.
|
4.03
|
|
Crediting of Earnings and Losses.
|
As
of each Valuation Date, the Plan Administrator will adjust each
Participant’s Account to reflect the crediting of deemed
earnings, losses, and charges to each such Account as if an amount
equal to the Participant’s Account balance had been invested
in accordance with the directions such Participant is permitted to
make pursuant to Section 3.06 . Adjustments may be made
at more frequent intervals as determined to be necessary or
appropriate by the Plan Administrator.

Crediting of Director Fees to Company Stock
Subaccount.

The
Plan Administrator shall credit a Director’s Annual Deferrals
to his or her Company Stock Subaccount as follows:
(a) On the last day of each calendar
quarter, the amount of the Annual Deferrals deferred to the Company
Stock Subaccount will be converted to that number of hypothetical
shares of Company Stock (computed to the nearest 1/1000 of a share)
that could have been purchased on such date with such amount, using
the closing price for the Company Stock on such date (or, if such
date is not a trading day, on the next preceding trading day) on
the Nasdaq Stock Market’s National Market System, or, if the
Company Stock is not then listed or quoted on Nasdaq, the principal
stock exchange on which the Company Stock is then traded;
(b) On each date on which a dividend
is paid on the Company Stock, the Company Stock Subaccount will be
credited with that number of hypothetical shares of Company Stock
(computed to the nearest 1/1000 of a share) which theoretically
could have been purchased with the amount of dividends payable on
the number of hypothetical shares of Company Stock credited to the
Participant’s Company Stock Subaccount immediately prior to
the payment of such dividend; the number of additional shares of
Company Stock shall be calculated as in Section 4.04(a)
; and (c) On the date of the
occurrence of any event described in Section 10.07 ,
