<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="font-size:10.0pt;margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman"><font style="font-size:10.0pt;">On November&nbsp;19, 2018, the Company entered into new employment agreements with Messrs.&nbsp;Helling and Gipple generally effective </font>at the time of the annual stockholders meeting on May&nbsp;23, 2019</font>. The agreements have initial terms through December&nbsp;31, 2021. The terms of the agreements automatically extend for an additional year on January&nbsp;1, 2022 and each January&nbsp;1st thereafter, unless either party gives at least 90 days&#146; prior notice that the employment period will not be extended.</p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The employment agreements provide for annual base salaries of $350,000 and $325,000 for Messrs.&nbsp;Helling and Gipple, respectively. The base salaries are to be reviewed annually and may be increased at the discretion of the Company&#146;s board of directors. The agreements provide that Messrs.&nbsp;Helling and Gipple are eligible to receive performance-based annual cash incentive bonuses, in accordance with the Company&#146;s annual incentive plan, with a target opportunity of 130% and 115% of annual base salary, respectively. The agreements also provide Messrs.&nbsp;Helling and Gipple with one-time restricted stock unit grants, each with a grant date fair market value of $500,000, which will be granted under and subject to the Company&#146;s equity incentive plan. Mr.&nbsp;Helling&#146;s restricted stock units will vest in approximately equal installments on January 1 in each of years 2020 through 2023, and Mr.&nbsp;Gipple&#146;s restricted stock units will vest as to 20% of the award on January 1 in each of years 2020 through 2022 and an additional 10% on January 1 in each of 2023 through 2026. Fifty percent of each award will further be subject to a performance threshold as will be determined by the board of directors. In addition, Messrs.&nbsp;Helling and Gipple are entitled to participate in any other incentive or employee benefit plans of the Company, on as favorable a basis as other similarly situated and performing senior executives.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The base salary, annual cash incentive bonus and one-time equity grant described above will become effective January&nbsp;1, 2019. &#160;As of that time, Messrs.&nbsp;Helling and Gipple will relinquish their rights to the &#147;walk away&#148; rights and &#147;gross up&#148; provisions of their existing employment agreements.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The agreements for Messrs.&nbsp;Helling and Gipple provide for severance benefits in the event the executive&#146;s employment is terminated by the Company other than for cause and other than as a result of the executive&#146;s death or disability, or if the employment is terminated by the executive for good reason (&#147;Termination&#148;). For a Termination during the term of the employment agreement that is not in connection with a change in control, each of Messrs.&nbsp;Helling and Gipple would be entitled to receive an amount equal to 100% of his base salary, generally payable in monthly installments over a 12-month period. For a Termination in connection with a change in control, each of Messrs.&nbsp;Helling and Gipple would be entitled to receive a lump sum equal to 200% of his base salary plus his cash incentive paid (or payable) for the Company&#146;s most recently completed fiscal year. In the event of a Termination, Messrs.&nbsp;Helling and Gipple and their eligible dependents would also be entitled to continued coverage under the medical and dental plans of the Company at active employee rates for up to 18 months.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">All severance benefits under the employment agreements for Messrs.&nbsp;Helling and Gipple are contingent upon the executive&#146;s execution and non-revocation of a general release and waiver of claims against the Company. The agreements are subject to certain banking regulatory provisions. Further, the agreements provide for an automatic reduction of severance payments if the reduction would result in a better net-after-tax result for the respective executive after taking into account the impact of the golden parachute payment restrictions of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&#147;Our deepest thanks to Doug for his vision and leadership which took QCR Holdings from a concept 25 years ago to today&#146;s successful $4.8 billion multi-bank holding company,&#148; remarked Pat Baird, Chair of QCR Holdings.&#160; &#147;Doug&#146;s unrelenting focus on clients, dedication to local control and his collaborative style have been the keys to growing the organization from a single de novo bank in 1993 to a regional company with five charters.&#160; We also appreciate Doug giving the Board the time to put together a good succession plan.&#160; We look forward to Doug&#146;s continued friendship and support of our Company for many years into our future. &#147;</font></p>
