FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements that involve inherent
risks and uncertainties. U.S. Bancorp cautions readers that a number of
important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those in
the forward-looking statements. These factors include economic conditions and
competition in the geographic and business areas in which the Company operates,

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
U.S. Bancorp, formerly known as First Bank System, Inc. (the "Company"), is the
organization created by the acquisition by First Bank System, Inc. ("FBS") of
U. S. Bancorp ("USBC") of Portland, Oregon. The merger was completed on August
1, 1997, as a pooling-of-interests, and prior period financial statements have
been restated to reflect the merger.
On April 22, 1998, the Company's shareholders authorized an increase in
the Company's capital stock necessary to implement the three-for-one split of
the Company's common stock announced on February 18, 1998. The number of common
and preferred shares which the Company has authority to issue was increased from
500 million shares and 10 million shares, respectively, to 1.5 billion shares
and 50 million shares, respectively. The stock split was in the form of a 200
percent dividend payable May 18, 1998, to shareholders of record on May 4, 1998.
The impact of the stock split has been reflected in the financial statements for
all periods presented and all share and per share data included herein.
EARNINGS SUMMARY -- The Company reported second quarter 1998 operating earnings
(net income excluding nonrecurring items) of $358.2 million, compared with
$302.7 million in the second quarter of 1997. On a diluted per share basis,
operating earnings were $.48 in the second quarter of 1998, compared with $.40
in the second quarter of 1997, an increase of 20 percent. Return on average
assets and return on average common equity, excluding nonrecurring items, were
2.01 percent and 23.2 percent, respectively, in the second quarter of 1998,
compared with returns of 1.76 percent and 21.4 percent in the second quarter of
1997. Excluding nonrecurring items, the efficiency ratio (the ratio of expenses
to revenues) was unchanged at 49.7 percent in the second quarter of 1998 from
the second quarter of 1997.
Operating earnings for the second quarter of 1998 reflected growth in core
noninterest income and a decrease in core noninterest expense from the second
quarter of 1997. Comparisons to prior periods are affected by the May 1, 1998,
acquisition of Piper Jaffray Companies Inc. ("Piper Jaffray"). Without the Piper
Jaffray acquisition, noninterest income, before nonrecurring items, increased by
$56.3 million (14 percent), reflecting strong growth in credit card fee revenue,
trust fees and investment management fees. Without the Piper Jaffray
acquisition, noninterest expense, before nonrecurring items, declined by $24.9
million (4 percent) and the efficiency ratio was 46.0 percent.
Net income was $320.6 million in the second quarter of 1998, or $.43 per
diluted share, compared with $303.9 million, or $.41 per diluted share, in the
second quarter of 1997. Return on average assets and return on average common
equity were 1.80 percent and 20.8 percent in the second quarter of 1998,
compared with returns of 1.77 percent and 21.5 percent in the second quarter of
1997. Nonrecurring merger-related charges decreased net income by $37.6 million
($59.5 million on a pre-tax basis) in the second quarter of 1998. Approximately
$53.0 million, after tax, of additional merger-related expenses are expected to
be incurred over the next two quarters. This represents an increase of
approximately $25 million (6 percent) over the $450 million, after tax, of
merger-related charges originally estimated and announced in March of 1997.
Increased systems conversion costs are the principal reason for the variance.
Nonrecurring net securities gains increased second quarter 1997 net income by
$1.2 million ($1.9 million on a pre-tax basis).
Operating earnings for the first six months of 1998 were $708.2 million,
compared with $594.9 million in the first six months of 1997. On a diluted per
share basis, operating earnings were $.94 in the first half of 1998, compared
with $.79 in the first half of 1997, an increase of 19 percent. Year-to-date
return on average assets and return on average common equity, excluding
nonrecurring items, were 2.02 percent and 23.4 percent, respectively, compared
with returns of 1.75 percent and 21.1 percent in the first half of 1997.
Excluding nonrecurring items, the efficiency ratio improved to 48.0 percent in
the first six months of 1998 from 50.2 percent in the first six months of 1997.

*WITHOUT INVESTMENT BANKING AND BROKERAGE ACTIVITY.
Net income for the first six months of 1998 was $649.1 million, or $.86
per diluted share, compared with $597.2 million, or $.80 per diluted share, for
the first six months of 1997. Return on average assets and return on average
common equity were 1.85 percent and 21.4 percent in the first half of 1998,
compared with returns of 1.76 percent and 21.2 percent in the same period of
1997. Net nonrecurring items decreased net income by $59.1 million ($93.4
million on a pre-tax basis) in the first half of 1998. Year-to-date nonrecurring
items included $12.6 million of net securities gains and $106.0 million of
merger-related charges. Nonrecurring net securities gains increased the first
half of 1997 net income $2.3 million ($3.6 million on a pre-tax basis).
ACQUISITION AND DIVESTITURE ACTIVITY -- On May 1, 1998, the Company completed
its acquisition of Piper Jaffray, a full-service investment banking and
securities brokerage firm. The acquisition allows the Company to offer
investment banking and institutional and retail brokerage services through a new
subsidiary to be known as U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray Inc. The acquisition of
Piper Jaffray was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting, and
accordingly, the purchase price of $738 million (including $719 million
aggregate cash consideration for Piper Jaffray shares outstanding) was allocated
to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values at the
date of acquisition.
During 1997, the Company completed three purchase acquisitions of banks
within its operating region: Zappco, Inc. of St. Cloud, Minnesota; Business and
Professional Bank of Sacramento, California; and, Sun Capital Bancorp of St.
George, Utah. The Company also acquired the bond indenture services and paying
agency business of Comerica Incorporated and sold $420 million of corporate
charge card receivables during 1997.
On March 13, 1998, the Company announced an agreement to acquire Northwest
Bancshares, Inc., a privately held bank holding company headquartered in
Vancouver, Washington, with 10 banking locations and $344 million in deposits.
The acquisition is pending regulatory approval and is expected to close in the
third quarter of 1998.

profitability reporting system. Designations, assignments, and allocations may
change from time to time as management accounting systems are enhanced or
product lines change. During 1998 certain organization and methodology changes
were made and 1997 results are presented on a consistent basis.
COMMERCIAL & BUSINESS BANKING AND PRIVATE FINANCIAL SERVICES -- Commercial &
Business Banking and Private Financial Services includes lending, treasury
management, and other financial services to middle-market, large corporate and
mortgage banking companies and private banking and personal trust clients.
Operating earnings increased 12 percent in the second quarter and 15 percent in
the first six months of 1998 compared with the same periods of the prior year.
Second quarter return on average assets increased to 1.82 percent from 1.67
percent in the same quarter a year ago. Net tangible return on average common
equity increased to 27.0 percent compared with 24.9 percent in the second
quarter of the prior year. Year-to-date profitability ratios showed similar
trends.
Net interest income increased 1 percent in the second quarter and 3
percent in the first six months of 1998, reflecting growth in average loan and
deposit balances. Noninterest income increased 12 percent and 15 percent in the
second quarter and first six months of 1998, compared with the same periods of
the prior year, reflecting increases in trust fees. The efficiency ratio on a
cash basis improved to 30.5 percent in the second quarter and 29.8 percent in
the first six months of 1998, compared with 32.9 percent and 33.5 percent in the
same periods of 1997.
RETAIL BANKING -- Retail Banking delivers products and services to the broad
consumer market and small-business through branch offices, telemarketing, direct
mail, and automated teller machines ("ATM's"). Operating earnings increased 19
percent in the second quarter and 20 percent in the first six months of 1998.
Second quarter and year-to-date return on assets increased to 1.87 percent and
1.84 percent respectively, from 1.52 percent and 1.48 percent, in the same
periods of the prior year. Second quarter and year-to-date net tangible return
on average common equity was 49.0 percent and 48.2 percent, compared with 42.6
percent and 40.9 percent in the same periods of 1997.
Net interest income for the second quarter and first half of 1998 declined
1 percent from the same periods of the prior year, due primarily to the planned
runoff of the residential mortgage loan portfolio offset by growth in home
equity loans. The decrease in noninterest expense for both the second quarter
and first six months of 1998, reflected the benefits of continued streamlining
of branch operations, as well as the integration of recent business
combinations. The efficiency ratio on a cash basis improved to 55.8 percent in
the second quarter and 55.5 percent in the first six months of 1998, compared
with 60.7 percent and 60.9 percent in the same periods of 1997.
PAYMENT SYSTEMS -- Payment Systems includes consumer and business credit cards,
corporate and purchasing card services, card-accessed secured and unsecured
lines of credit, ATM processing, and merchant processing. Operating earnings
increased 27 percent in the second quarter and 23 percent in the first six
months of 1998 compared with the same periods of 1997. Second quarter and
year-to-date return on average assets was 2.28 percent and 2.27 percent,
compared with 2.12 percent and 2.26 percent in the same periods of 1997. Net
tangible return on average common equity was 48.5 percent and 47.3 percent in
the second quarter and first half of 1998, compared with 39.6 percent and 42.1
percent in the second quarter and first half of 1997.
Fee-based noninterest income increased 37 percent in the second quarter
and 38 percent in the first six months of 1998 compared with the same periods of
1997. The increases were due to growth in the sales volume of the Corporate
Card, the Purchasing Card, and the Northwest Airlines WorldPerks(R) credit card,
and an increase in commercial and consumer card interchange rates as well as the
buyout of the third party interest in a merchant processing alliance. Net
interest income decreased 17 percent in the second quarter and first half of
1998 from the same periods of the prior year due to the growth in Corporate Card
and Purchasing Card non-earning asset balances. Noninterest expense increased
due to increased technology spending and costs related to increased sales
volume. The efficiency ratio on a cash basis improved to 36.6 percent in the
second quarter and 37.5 percent in the first six months of 1998 from 42.4
percent and 41.2 percent in the same periods of 1997.
CORPORATE TRUST AND INSTITUTIONAL FINANCIAL SERVICES -- Corporate Trust and
Institutional Financial Services includes institutional and corporate trust
services, investment management services, and the former Piper Capital Mangement
acquired in May of 1998. Operating earnings increased 23 percent and 20 percent
in the second quarter and first six months of 1998 compared with the same
periods of the prior year. Net tangible return on average common equity was 51.7
percent in the second quarter and 47.9 percent in the first half of 1998

INVESTMENT BANKING AND BROKERAGE -- Investment Banking and Brokerage includes
the U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray broker/dealer and U.S. Bancorp's existing
broker/dealer operations. The U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray broker/dealer is a
full-service brokerage company that was acquired as part of the acquisition of
Piper Jaffray Companies, Inc. on May 1, 1998. Table 2 reflects the results of
the U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray broker/dealer since the acquisition date,

INCOME STATEMENT ANALYSIS
NET INTEREST INCOME -- Second quarter net interest income on a
taxable-equivalent basis was $777.9 million compared with $779.6 million in the
second quarter of 1997. Year-to-date net interest income on taxable-equivalent
basis was $1.55 billion compared with $1.54 billion in the first six months of
1997. The second quarter and year-to-date average earning assets increased $1.6
billion (3 percent) and $1.7 billion (3 percent) from the same periods of 1997,
driven by core commercial and consumer loan growth, partially offset by
reductions in investment securities and residential mortgages. Average loans for
both the second quarter and first six months of 1998 were up 4 percent from the
same periods of the previous year. Excluding residential mortgage loans, average
loans for the second quarter and first six months of 1998 were both higher by
$2.9 billion (6 percent) than the second quarter and first half of 1997,
reflecting growth in commercial, home equity and second mortgages and credit
card loans. Other consumer loans were lower on average in 1998 than the same
periods of 1997, primarily due to reductions in installment loans in the
northwest region. Average securities for the second quarter and first six months
of 1998 decreased, reflecting both maturities and sales of securities. The net
interest margin in the second quarter of 1998 of 4.91 percent was below the
second quarter 1997 margin of 5.05 percent and the first quarter 1998 margin of
4.98 percent. The net interest margin for the first six months of 1998 of 4.95
percent was below the first half of 1997 margin of 5.07 percent. The decreases
were primarily due to growth in Payment Systems' noninterest-bearing assets,
including corporate and purchasing card loan balances, the additional funding
required by the Piper Jaffray acquisition and continued margin compression in
the commercial loan portfolio.
PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES -- The provision for credit losses was $93.0 million
in the second quarter of 1998, down $8.1 million (8 percent) from the second
quarter of 1997. The provision for the first half of 1998 decreased $2.3 million
(1 percent) from the first half of 1997 to $183.0 million. Second quarter and
year-to-date net charge-offs totaled $106.7 million and $209.9 million, up from
$98.0 million and $181.9 million in the same periods of 1997. A portion of these
increases reflect higher bankruptcies and fraud-related charge-offs and higher
charge-offs in the northwest region's portfolio of installment loans originated
in 1995 and 1996. Refer to "Corporate Risk Management" for further information
on credit quality.

NONINTEREST INCOME -- Second quarter 1998 noninterest income was $561.1 million,
an increase of $153.6 million (38 percent), from the second quarter of 1997.
Noninterest income in the first six months of 1998 was $1.02 billion, compared
with $785 million in the first six months of 1997. Noninterest income in the
first six months of 1998 included nonrecurring net securities gains of $12.6
million, compared with net securities gains of $1.9 million and $3.6 million in
the second quarter and first half of the prior year.
Excluding securities gains, second quarter 1998 noninterest income was
$561.1 million, an increase of $155.5 million (38 percent) from the same quarter
of 1997. Year-to-date 1998 noninterest income was $1.01 billion, an increase of
$225.6 million (29 percent) from year-to-date 1997. Excluding securities gains
and the effect of the Piper Jaffray acquisition, noninterest income increases
were $56.3 million and $126.4 million for the second quarter and year-to-date,
respectively. The increases resulted principally from growth in credit card and
trust and investment management fee revenue. Second quarter and year-to-date
1998 credit card fee revenue increased $48.8 million (49 percent) and $84.9
million (45 percent) over the same periods of 1997 as a result of higher volumes
for purchasing and corporate cards and the Northwest Airlines WorldPerks credit
card. Credit card fees were also enhanced by the renewal of the Northwest
Airlines WorldPerks program and the buyout of the third party interest in a
merchant processing alliance in the first quarter of 1998. Without theses items,
credit card fees would have increased by $35.1 million (36 percent) and $62.9
million (33 percent) in the second quarter and first half of 1998. Trust and
investment management fees were up due to growth in the corporate,
institutional, and personal trust businesses and the addition of Piper Jaffray.
Investment products fees and commissions, trading account profits and
commissions and investment banking revenue increased, reflecting the acquisition
of Piper Jaffray.
NONINTEREST EXPENSE -- Second quarter 1998 noninterest expense was $724.6
million, an increase of $135.1 million (23 percent), from $589.5 million in the
second quarter of 1997. Year-to-date noninterest expense was $1.33 billion, an
increase of $165.2 million (14 percent), from $1.17 billion in the first half of
1997. Noninterest expense in the second quarter and first half of 1998 included
nonrecurring merger-related charges of $59.5 million and $106.0 million incurred
in connection with the USBC and Piper Jaffray transactions.
Second quarter 1998 noninterest expense, before nonrecurring items, was
$665.1 million, an increase of $75.6 million (13 percent), from $589.5 million
in the second quarter of 1997. Year-to-date 1998 noninterest expense, before
nonrecurring items, increased $59.2 million (5 percent) to $1.22 billion from
$1.17 billion in the first half of 1997. Without the effect of Piper Jaffray,
noninterest expense, before nonrecurring items, decreased by $24.9 million and
$41.3 million in the second quarter and first half of 1998, compared with the
same periods of 1997. Total salaries and benefits expense increased in the
second quarter and first half of 1998 as a result of the Piper Jaffray
acquisition. Average full-time equivalent employees were 26,858 in the second
quarter of 1998 compared with 26,606 in the second quarter of 1997. Second
quarter and year-to-date 1998 goodwill and other intangible expense was higher
than the same periods of 1997, as a result of the Piper Jaffray acquisition plus
several small bank and portfolio purchases during 1997 and the buyout of a
merchant processing alliance. Excluding nonrecurring items, the Company's
efficiency ratio was 49.7 percent for the quarter and 48.0 percent year-to-date,
compared with 49.7 percent and 50.2 percent for the same periods a year ago.
The Company has undertaken efforts to address the "Year 2000" computer
problem, which arose because many computer applications worldwide will not
properly recognize the date change from December 31, 1999, to January 1, 2000,
potentially causing production of

erroneous data, miscalculations, system failures and other operational problems.
In the early 1990s, the Company implemented significant technology changes and
replaced many of its principal data processing applications with licensed
software packages. The Company also undertook an organization-wide initiative to
address the Year 2000 issue, including the formation in 1996 of a dedicated
project team of employees to evaluate the Year 2000 impact on the Company's
critical computer hardware and software, on embedded technologies in its
physical plant and automated equipment (such as ATMs, check sorting machines,
vaults and security systems), and on its customers. In addition to evaluating
the scope of the Year 2000 issue, the project team has prioritized tasks,
developed implementation plans and established completion and testing schedules.
As a result, the Company is replacing, modifying or reprogramming certain
systems, is requiring that new purchased hardware and software be Year 2000
compliant, and is testing systems in an isolated environment dedicated to Year
2000 testing. The Year 2000 project includes contingency plans to mitigate
potential delays or other problems, such as back-up solutions for all
mission-critical applications and business continuation plans for significant
vendors and other business partners. Apart from the Company's project, federal
banking regulators are conducting special examinations of FDIC-insured banks and
savings associations to determine whether they are taking necessary steps to
prepare for the Year 2000 issue, and are closely monitoring the progress made by
these institutions in completing key steps required by their individual Year
2000 plans.
The Company expects that replacement, renovation and testing of its
critical internal computer hardware and software and embedded technologies will
be substantially completed by December 31, 1998, allowing time for necessary
refinements and additional testing before December 31, 1999. The Company
estimates that the cost of its Year 2000 project will aggregate less than $50
million over the three-year period ending December 31, 1999. The Company has not
deferred any material information technology projects as a consequence of its
Year 2000 efforts.
Ultimately, the potential impact of the Year 2000 issue will depend not
only on the success of the corrective measures the Company undertakes, but also
on the way in which the Year 2000 issue is addressed by customers, vendors,
service providers, counterparties, utilities, governmental agencies and other
entities with which the Company does business. The Company is communicating with
these parties to heighten their awareness of the Year
U.S. Bancorp 9
<PAGE>
2000 issue, to learn how they are addressing it and to evaluate any likely
impact on the Company. For example, the Company is conducting a Year 2000 survey
of its corporate and middle-market borrowing customers and of other significant
funds takers, funds providers and capital market/asset management
counterparties, and has implemented in its lending units uniform criteria for
identifying, managing and underwriting Year 2000 credit risk. The Company also
is contacting important vendors to receive commitment dates for their Year 2000
readiness and delivery of compliant software and other products. In addition,
the Company is monitoring the Year 2000 preparations of entities such as the
Federal Reserve, which provides services for processing and settling payments
and securities transactions between banks. The Year 2000 efforts of third
parties are not within the Company's control, however, and their failure to
remediate Year 2000 issues successfully could result in business disruption,
increased operating cost and increased credit risk for the Company. At the
present time, it is not possible to determine whether any such events are likely
to occur, or to quantify any potential negative impact they may have on the
Company's future results of operations and financial condition.
The foregoing discussion regarding Year 2000, including the discussion of
the timing and effectiveness of implementation and cost of the Company's Year
2000 project, contains forward-looking statements, which are based on
management's best estimates derived using various assumptions. These
forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, and actual
results could differ materially from those contemplated by such statements.
Factors that might cause material differences include, but are not limited to,
the availability of key Year 2000 personnel, the Company's ability to locate and
correct all relevant computer codes, and its ability to respond to unforeseen
Year 2000 complications. Such material differences could result in, among other
things, business disruption, operational problems, financial loss, legal
liability and similar risks.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES -- The provision for income taxes was $187.9 million
in the second quarter and $377.2 million in the first six months of 1998,
compared with $177.8 million and $349.3 million in the same periods of 1997. The
increases were primarily the result of higher levels of taxable income, as
discussed above.
BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS
LOANS -- The Company's loan portfolio was $55.8 billion at June 30, 1998,
compared with $54.7 billion at December 31, 1997. The portfolio of commercial
loans totaled $35.2 billion at June 30, 1998, up $1.47 billion from December 31,
1997. The increase was primarily attributable to growth in core commercial
loans. Total consumer loan outstandings were $20.5 billion at June 30, 1998,
compared with $20.9 billion at December 31, 1997. Excluding residential mortgage
loan balances, consumer loans were $16.4 billion at June 30, 1998, compared with
$16.3 billion at December 31, 1997. See Note E to the Consolidated Financial
Statements for the composition of the Company's loan portfolio at June 30, 1998
and December 31, 1997.
SECURITIES -- At June 30, 1998, available-for-sale securities were $5.9 billion
compared with $6.9 billion at December 31, 1997, reflecting both maturities and
sales of securities.
DEPOSITS -- Noninterest-bearing deposits increased to $15.7 billion at June 30,
1998, compared with $14.5 billion at December 31, 1997, reflecting deposits
received for third quarter 1998 corporate bond payments. Interest-bearing
deposits totaled $33.6 billion at June 30, 1998, compared with $34.5 billion at
December 31, 1997. The decrease reflects customers moving funds out of
certificates of deposit into alternative investment vehicles.
BORROWINGS -- Short-term borrowings, which include federal funds purchased,
securities sold under agreements to repurchase and other short-term borrowings,
were $3.5 billion at June 30, 1998, up from $3.3 billion at December 31, 1997.
The increase was due to increases in treasury tax and loan notes and commercial
paper, partially offset by a decrease in federal funds purchased.
Long-term debt was $11.4 billion at June 30, 1998, up from $10.2 billion
at December 31, 1997. The Company issued $936 million of debt, with an average

during the first six months of 1998, and $1.2 billion in Federal Home Loan Bank
Advances, with an average original maturity of 4.0 years. The Company also
issued $300 million of 6.50 percent fixed rate subordinated notes due February
1, 2008, during the first six months of 1998. These issuances were partially
offset by $1.2 billion of medium-term and bank note maturities and maturities of
$172 million of Federal Home Loan Bank Advances.
CORPORATE RISK MANAGEMENT
CREDIT MANAGEMENT -- The Company's strategy for credit risk management includes
stringent, centralized credit policies, and standard underwriting criteria for
specialized lending categories, such as mortgage banking, real estate
construction, and consumer credit. The strategy also emphasizes diversification
on both a geographic and customer level, regular credit examinations, and
quarterly management reviews of large loans and loans experiencing deterioration
of credit quality. The Company strives to identify potential problem loans
early, take any necessary charge-offs promptly, and maintain strong reserve
levels. Commercial banking operations rely on a strong credit culture that
combines prudent credit policies and individual lender accountability. In
addition, the commercial lenders generally focus on middle-market companies
within their regions. In the Company's retail banking operations, a standard
credit scoring system is used to assess consumer credit risks and to price
consumer products accordingly.
In evaluating its credit risk, the Company considers loan portfolio
composition, the level of allowance coverage, and macroeconomic factors. Most
economic indicators in the Company's operating regions compare favorably with
national trends. Approximately 45 percent of the Company's loan portfolio
consists of credit to businesses and consumers in Minnesota, Oregon and
Washington.

NET CHARGE-OFFS AND ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES -- Net loan charge-offs totaled
$106.7 million and $209.9 million in the second quarter and first six months of
1998, compared with $98.0 million and $181.9 million in the same periods of
1997. Commercial loan net charge-offs were $16.7 million and $30.8 million in
the second quarter and first half of 1998, compared with $25.2 million and $34.4
million in the same periods of 1997. Consumer loan net charge-offs for the
quarter and year-to-date were $90.0 million and $179.1 million, compared with
$72.8 million and $147.5 million for the same periods of 1997, reflecting higher
average credit card balances and higher bankruptcies and fraud-related
charge-offs. Consumer loans 30 days or more past due declined to 2.31 percent of
the portfolio at June 30, 1998, compared with 2.76 percent at December 31, 1997.
The ratio of total net charge-offs to average loans was .77 percent in the
second quarter and first half of 1998 compared with .73 percent and .69 percent
in the same periods of 1997.
NONPERFORMING ASSETS -- Nonperforming assets include all nonaccrual loans,
restructured loans, other real estate and other nonperforming assets owned by
the Company. At June 30, 1998, nonperforming assets totaled $300.4 million, down
$39.1 million (12 percent) from December 31, 1997. The ratio of nonperforming
assets to loans and other real estate was .54 percent at June 30, 1998, compared
with .62 percent at December 31, 1997. The percentage of consumer loans 90 days
or more past due of the total consumer loan portfolio totaled .70 percent at
June 30, 1998, unchanged from December 31, 1997.
INTEREST RATE RISK MANAGEMENT -- The Company's policy is to maintain a low
interest rate risk position. The Company limits the exposure of net interest
income associated with interest rate movements through asset/liability
management strategies. The Company's Asset and Liability Management Committee
("ALCO") uses three methods for measuring and managing consolidated interest
rate risk: Net Interest Income Simulation Modeling, Market Value Simulation
Modeling, and Repricing Mismatch Analysis. As part of Market Value Simulation
Modeling, ALCO uses a value-at-risk ("VaR") model to measure and manage market
risk in its broker/dealer activities.
NET INTEREST INCOME SIMULATION MODELING: The Company uses a net interest income
simulation model to estimate near-term (next 12 months) risk due to changes in
interest rates. The model, which is updated monthly, incorporates substantially
all the Company's assets and liabilities and off-balance sheet instruments,
together with forecasted changes in the balance sheet and assumptions that
reflect the current interest rate environment. Balance sheet changes are based
on expected prepayments of loans and securities and forecasted loan and deposit
growth. ALCO uses the model to simulate the effect of immediate and sustained
parallel shifts in the yield curve of one percent, two percent and three percent
as well as the effect of

immediate and sustained flattening or steepening of the yield curve. ALCO also
calculates the sensitivity of the simulation results to changes in key
assumptions, such as the Prime/LIBOR spread or core deposit pricing. The results
from the simulation are reviewed by ALCO monthly and are used to guide ALCO's
hedging strategies. ALCO guidelines, approved by the Company's Board of
Directors, limit the estimated change in net interest income over the succeeding
12 months to two percent of forecasted net interest income given a one percent
change in interest rates. At June 30, 1998, the estimated effect of an immediate
100 basis point parallel change in rates was a decrease of less than .10 percent
in forecasted net interest income for twelve months for either an assumed
increase or decrease in rates.
MARKET VALUE SIMULATION MODELING: The net interest income simulation model is
somewhat limited by its dependence upon accurate forecasts of future business
activity and the resulting effect on balance sheet assets and liabilities. As a
result, its usefulness is greatly diminished for periods beyond one or two
years. To better measure all interest rate risk, both short-term and long-term,
the Company uses a market value simulation model. This model estimates the
effect of one, two and three percent rate shocks on the present value of all
future cash flows of the Company's outstanding assets, liabilities and
off-balance sheet instruments. The amount of market value risk is subject to
limits, approved by the Company's Board of Directors, of one percent of assets
for an immediate 100 basis point rate shock. Historically, the Company's market
value risk position has been substantially lower than its limits.
The VaR model used to measure and manage market risk in the broker/dealer
business uses an estimate of volatility appropriate to each instrument and a
three standard deviation move in the underlying markets. The Company believes
the market risk inherent in its broker/dealer activities, including fixed
income, equities and foreign exchange, is immaterial.
REPRICING MISMATCH ANALYSIS: A traditional gap analysis provides a point-in-time
measurement of the relationship between the amounts of interest rate sensitive
assets and liabilities repricing in a given time period. While the analysis
provides a useful snapshot of interest rate risk, it does not capture all
aspects of interest rate risk. As a result, ALCO uses the repricing mismatch
analysis primarily for managing intermediate-term interest rate risk and has
established limits, approved by the Company's Board of Directors, for gap
positions in the one- to three-year time periods of five percent of assets.
USE OF DERIVATIVES TO MANAGE INTEREST RATE RISK: While each of the interest rate
risk measurements has limitations, taken together they represent a comprehensive
view of the magnitude of the Company's interest rate risk over various time
intervals. The Company manages its interest rate risk by entering into
off-balance sheet transactions (primarily interest rate swaps), investing in
fixed rate assets or issuing variable rate liabilities. To a lesser degree, the
Company also uses interest rate caps and floors to hedge this risk.
In the second quarter and first six months of 1998, the Company added $895
million and $1.8 billion of interest rate swaps to reduce its interest rate
risk. Interest rate swap agreements involve the exchange of fixed and floating
rate payments without the exchange of the underlying notional amount on which
the interest payments are calculated. As of June 30, 1998, the Company received
payments on $6.8 billion notional amount of interest rate swap agreements based
on fixed interest rates, and made payments based on variable interest rates.
These swaps had a weighted average fixed rate received of 6.28 percent and a
weighted average variable rate paid of 5.66 percent. The remaining maturity

of these agreements ranges from one month to ten years with an average remaining
maturity of 3.2 years. Swaps increased net interest income for the quarters
ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 by $8.5 million and $5.4 million, and the six
months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 by $16.1 million and $11.8 million.
To hedge against falling interest rates, the Company uses interest rate
floors. Floor counterparties pay the Company when specified rates fall below a
specified point or strike level. The payment is based on the difference in
current rates and strike rates and the notional amount. The total notional
amount of floor agreements purchased as of June 30, 1998, was $400 million.
LIBOR-based floors totaled $200 million and Constant Maturity Treasury floors
totaled $200 million. The impact of floors on net interest income was not
material for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997.
CAPITAL MANAGEMENT -- At June 30, 1998, total tangible common equity was $4.7
billion, or 6.5 percent of assets, compared with 7.0 percent at December 31,
1997. Tier 1 and total risk-based capital ratios were 7.2 percent and 11.5
percent at June 30, 1998, compared with 7.4 percent and 11.6 percent at December
31, 1997. The June 30, 1998 leverage ratio was 7.4 percent compared with 7.3
percent at December 31, 1997.
On June 8, 1998, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the
repurchase of up to $2.5 billion of the Company's common stock over the period
ending March 31, 2000. The shares will be repurchased in the open market or
through negotiated transactions. Through June 30, 1998, the Company repurchased
6.6 million shares for $275.2 million.
On August 1, 1997, the Company issued 329.7 million shares to acquire
USBC. The Company exchanged 2.265 shares of its common stock for each share of
USBC common stock. USBC's outstanding stock options were also converted into
stock options for the Company's common stock. In addition, each outstanding
share of USBC cumulative preferred stock was converted into one share of
preferred stock of the combined company, having substantially identical terms.
On November 14, 1997, the Company redeemed all outstanding shares of its
preferred stock at a redemption price of $25 per share, together with accrued
and unpaid dividends.
ACCOUNTING CHANGES
ACCOUNTING FOR TRANSFERS AND SERVICING OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND EXTINGUISHMENTS
OF LIABILITIES -- Effective January 1, 1997, the Company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. ("SFAS") 125, "Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities," which
establishes criteria, based on legal control, to determine whether a transfer of
financial assets is considered a sale or secured borrowing. Effective January 1,
1998, and in accordance with SFAS 127 which amended SFAS 125, the Company
adopted the provisions of SFAS 125 relating to securities lending, repurchase
agreements and other secured financing transactions. The adoption of SFAS 125
did not have a material effect on the Company.
COMPREHENSIVE INCOME -- Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted SFAS 130,
"Reporting Comprehensive Income," which establishes standards for the reporting
and display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of
financial statements. The Statement requires that all items that are required to
be recognized under accounting standards as components of comprehensive income
be reported in a financial statement that is displayed as prominently as other
financial statements. The Statement requires the classification of items of
other comprehensive income by their nature in a financial statement and the
display of other comprehensive income separately from retained earnings and
capital surplus in the equity section of the balance sheet. All prior periods
presented have been restated to conform to the provisions of this Statement.
SEGMENT DISCLOSURE -- SFAS 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and
Related Information," requires the disclosure of financial and descriptive
U.S. Bancorp 15
<PAGE>
information about reportable operating segments. Operating segments are
components of an enterprise about which financial information is available and
is evaluated regularly in deciding how to allocate resources and assess
performance. The Statement requires the disclosure of profit or loss, certain
specific revenue and expense items, and assets of all operating segments, with
reconciliations of amounts presented in the financial statements. The Statement
also requires the disclosure of how the operating segments were determined, the
products and services provided by the segments, differences between measurements
used in reporting segment information and those used in the financial
statements, and changes in the measurement of segment amounts from period to
period. SFAS 131 is effective with the 1998 year-end financial statements, with
comparative information for prior periods required.
PENSIONS AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFIT DISCLOSURE -- SFAS 132, "Employers'
Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits," standardizes the
disclosure requirements for pensions and other postretirement benefits to the
extent practicable. The Statement supersedes the disclosure requirements of:
SFAS 87, "Employers' Accounting for Pensions"; SFAS 88, "Employers' Accounting
for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for
Termination Benefits"; and, SFAS 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement
Benefits Other Than Pensions." The Statement addresses disclosure only and not
measurement or recognition. SFAS 132 is effective for the Company's 1998
year-end financial statements. All prior period disclosures shall be restated to
conform to the provisions of this Statement.
INTERNAL USE COMPUTER SOFTWARE COSTS -- Effective January 1, 1998, the Company
adopted Statement of Position ("SOP") 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of
Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use." SOP 98-1 requires the
capitalization of certain costs incurred in connection with developing or
obtaining software for internal use. Historically, the Company has expensed such
costs as incurred. Restatement of previously issued annual financial statements
or adoption by a cumulative catch-up adjustment is prohibited. The adoption of
SOP 98-1 did not have a material impact on the Company.
ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES -- SFAS 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," establishes
accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain
derivative instruments imbedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities.
It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or
liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those instruments
at fair value. In certain defined conditions, a derivative may be specifically
designated as a hedge for a particular exposure. The accounting for changes in
the fair value of the derivative depends on the intended use of the derivative
and the resulting designation. SFAS 133 is effective for all quarters of fiscal
years beginning after June 15, 1999, with earlier application permitted.
Retroactive application of this Statement to prior periods is prohibited. The
adoption of SFAS 133 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE A BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all
information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial
position, results of operations, and cash flow activity required under generally
accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of management of the Company, all
adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair
presentation of results have been made and the Company believes such
presentation is adequate to make the information presented not misleading. For
further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and
footnotes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 1997. Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified
to conform to the current presentation.
NOTE B ACCOUNTING CHANGES
ACCOUNTING FOR TRANSFERS AND SERVICING OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND EXTINGUISHMENTS
OF LIABILITIES -- Effective January 1, 1997, the Company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. ("SFAS") 125, "Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities," which
establishes criteria, based on legal control, to determine whether a transfer of
financial assets is considered a sale or secured borrowing. Effective January 1,
1998, and in accordance with SFAS 127 which amended SFAS 125, the Company
adopted the provisions of SFAS 125 relating to securities lending, repurchase
agreements and other secured financing transactions. The adoption of SFAS 125
did not have a material effect on the Company.
COMPREHENSIVE INCOME -- Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted SFAS 130,
"Reporting Comprehensive Income," which establishes standards for the reporting
and display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of
financial statements. The Statement requires that all items that are required to
be recognized under accounting standards as components of comprehensive income
be reported in a financial statement that is displayed as prominently as other
financial statements. The Statement requires the classification of items of
other comprehensive income by their nature in a financial statement and the
display of other comprehensive income separately from retained earnings and
capital surplus in the equity section of the balance sheet. All prior periods
presented have been restated to conform to the provisions of this Statement.
SEGMENT DISCLOSURE -- SFAS 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and
Related Information," requires the disclosure of financial and descriptive
information about reportable operating segments. Operating segments are
components of an enterprise about which financial information is available and
is evaluated regularly in deciding how to allocate resources and assess
performance. The Statement requires the disclosure of profit or loss, certain
specific revenue and expense items, and assets of all operating segments, with
reconciliations of amounts presented in the financial statements. The Statement
also requires the disclosure of how the operating segments were determined, the
products and services provided by the segments, differences between measurements
used in reporting segment information and those used in the financial
statements, and changes in the measurement of segment amounts from period to
period. SFAS 131 is effective with the 1998 year-end financial statements, with
comparative information for prior periods required.
PENSIONS AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS DISCLOSURE -- SFAS 132, "Employers'
Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits," standardizes the
disclosure requirements for pensions and other postretirement benefits to the
extent practicable. The Statement supersedes the disclosure requirements of:
SFAS 87, "Employers' Accounting for Pensions"; SFAS 88, "Employers' Accounting
for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for
Termination Benefits"; and, SFAS 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement
Benefits Other Than Pensions." The Statement addresses disclosure only and not
measurement or recognition. SFAS 132 is effective for the Company's 1998
year-end financial statements. All prior period disclosures will be restated to
conform to the provisions of this Statement.
INTERNAL USE COMPUTER SOFTWARE COSTS -- Effective January 1, 1998, the Company
adopted Statement of Position ("SOP") 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs
U.S. Bancorp 21
<PAGE>
of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use." SOP 98-1 requires
the capitalization of certain costs incurred in connection with developing or
obtaining software for internal use. Historically, the Company has expensed such
costs as incurred. Restatement of previously issued annual financial statements
or adoption by a cumulative catch-up adjustment is prohibited. The adoption of
SOP 98-1 did not have a material effect on the Company.
ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES -- SFAS 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," establishes
accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain
derivative instruments imbedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities.
It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or
liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those instruments
at fair value. In certain defined conditions, a derivative may be specifically
designated as a hedge for a particular exposure. The accounting for changes in
the fair value of the derivative depends on the intended use of the derivative
and the resulting designation. SFAS 133 is effective for all quarters of fiscal
years beginning after June 15, 1999, with earlier application permitted.
Retroactive application of this Statement to prior periods is prohibited. The
adoption of SFAS 133 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company.
NOTE C BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND DIVESTITURES
U.S. BANCORP On August 1, 1997, First Bank System, Inc. ("FBS") issued 329.7
million common shares to acquire U. S. Bancorp ("USBC"). As of the acquisition
date, the combined institution, now known as U.S. Bancorp, had approximately $70
billion in assets, $49 billion in deposits and served nearly four million
households and 475,000 businesses in 17 contiguous states from Illinois to
Washington. The Company exchanged 2.265 shares of its common stock for each
share of USBC common stock. USBC's outstanding stock options also were converted
into stock options for the Company's common stock. In addition, each outstanding
share of USBC cumulative preferred stock was converted into one share of
preferred stock of the combined company having substantially identical terms.
The transaction was accounted for as a pooling-of-interests. Accordingly, the
Company's financial statements have been restated for all periods prior to the
acquisition to include the accounts and operations of USBC.
PIPER JAFFRAY COMPANIES INC. On May 1, 1998, the Company completed its
acquisition of Piper Jaffray Companies Inc. ("Piper Jaffray"), a full-service
investment banking and securities brokerage firm. The acquisition allows the
Company to offer investment banking and institutional and retail brokerage
services through a new subsidiary to be known as U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray Inc.
The acquisition of Piper Jaffray was accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting, and accordingly, the purchase price of $738 million (including $719
million aggregate cash consideration for Piper Jaffray shares outstanding) was
allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values
at the date of acquisition.
NORTHWEST BANCSHARES, INC. On March 13, 1998, the Company announced an agreement
to acquire Northwest Bancshares, Inc., a privately held bank holding company
headquartered in Vancouver, Washington, with 10 banking locations and $344
million in deposits. The acquisition is pending regulatory approval and is
expected to close in the third quarter of 1998.
OTHER ACQUISITIONS Effective December 12, 1997, the Company completed its
acquisition of the $360 million Zappco, Inc., a bank holding company
headquartered in St. Cloud, Minnesota. Effective April 30, 1997, USBC completed
its acquisition of the $214 million Business and Professional Bank of
Sacramento, California. On January 31, 1997, the Company completed its
acquisition of the bond indenture services and paying agency business of
Comerica Incorporated. This business serves approximately 860 municipal and
corporate clients with about 2,400 bond issues. Effective January 1, 1997, USBC
completed its acquisition of the $70 million Sun Capital Bancorp of St. George,
Utah. These transactions were accounted for as purchase acquisitions.

At June 30, 1998, the Company had $209 million in loans considered impaired
under SFAS 114 included in its nonaccrual loans. The carrying value of the
impaired loans was less than or equal to the appraised collateral value or the
present value of expected future cash flows and, accordingly, no allowance for
credit losses was specifically allocated to impaired loans. For the quarter
ended June 30, 1998, the average recorded investment in impaired loans was
approximately $216 million. No interest income was recognized on impaired loans
during the quarter.

NOTE H SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
On June 8, 1998, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of
up to $2.5 billion of the Company's common stock over the period ending March
31, 2000. The shares will be repurchased in the open market or through
negotiated transactions. Through June 30, 1998, the Company repurchased 6.6
million shares for $275.2 million.
On April 22, 1998, the Company's shareholders authorized an increase in
the Company's capital stock necessary to implement the three-for-one split of
the Company's common stock announced on February 18, 1998. The number of common
and preferred shares which the Company has authority to issue was increased from
500 million shares and 10 million shares, respectively, to 1.5 billion shares
and 50 million shares, respectively. The stock split was in the form of a 200
percent dividend payable May 18, 1998 to shareholders of record on May 4, 1998.
The impact of the stock split has been reflected in the financial statements for
all periods presented and all share and per share data included herein.

Part II -- OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION -- On July 15, 1998 the Company's Bylaws were amended
to include an advance notice provision requiring that, if a shareholder desires
to bring business before an annual meeting, written notice of such business must
be received by the Company not less than 120 days prior to the date (i.e., the
month and day) in the subsequent year corresponding to the date of the prior
year's proxy statement. If the Company does not receive timely notice, the
business will be excluded from consideration at the meeting. This advance notice
provision supersedes the statutory notice period in revised Rule 14a-4(c)(1) of
the federal proxy rules, addressing the discretionary proxy voting authority of
the Board of Directors in connection with such shareholder business. In
addition, the Company's existing Bylaw provision requiring 90-day advance notice
of shareholder nominations of persons for election as Directors was amended to
require advance notice not less than 120 days prior to the date (i.e., the month
and day) in the subsequent year corresponding to the date of the prior year's
proxy statement. The foregoing descriptions of the amended Bylaw provisions are
qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Company's
Bylaws, as amended, filed as Exhibit 3.1 hereto and incorporated herein by
reference.
Based on these amendments, if a shareholder desires to nominate a Director
for election at the 1999 Annual Meeting or to bring other business before such
meeting (and such business is not the subject of a shareholder proposal timely
submitted for inclusion in the proxy statement), written notice of such
nomination or such business, as prescribed in the Company's Bylaws, must be
received by the Company at its principal office in Minneapolis, Minnesota on or
before November 17, 1998.

The Board of Directors of the Corporation shall consist of such number
of Directors as are fixed from time to time by resolution of the Board and
within the requirements set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation.
Commencing with the annual election of Directors by the stockholders in 1986,
the Directors shall be divided into three classes: Class I, Class II and Class
III, each such class, as nearly as possible, to have the same number of
Directors. The term of office of the initial Class I Directors shall expire at

of the initial Class II Directors shall expire at the annual election of
Directors by the stockholders in 1988, and the term of office of the initial
Class III Directors shall expire at the annual election of Directors by the
stockholders in 1989. At each annual election of Directors by the stockholders
held after 1985, the Directors chosen to succeed those whose terms have then
expired shall be identified as being of the same class as the Directors they
succeed and shall be elected by the stockholders for a term expiring at the
third succeeding annual election of Directors. In all cases, Directors shall

and have qualified.
In the event that the holders of any class or series of stock of the
Corporation having a preference as to dividends or upon liquidation of the
Corporation shall be entitled, by a separate class vote, to elect Directors as
may be specified pursuant to Article Fourth of the Corporation's Restated
Certificate of Incorporation, then the provisions of such class or series of
stock with respect to their rights shall apply. The number of Directors that may
be elected by the holders of any such class or series of stock shall be in
addition to the number fixed pursuant to the preceding paragraph. Except as
otherwise expressly provided pursuant to Article Fourth of the Corporation's
Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the number of Directors that may be so
elected by the holders of any such class or series of stock shall be elected for
terms expiring at the next annual meeting of stockholders and without regard to
the classification of the remaining members of the Board of Directors and
vacancies among Directors so elected by the separate class vote of any such
class or series of stock shall be filled by the remaining Directors elected by
such class or series, or, if there are no such remaining Directors, by the
holders of such class or series in the same manner in which such class or series
initially elected a Director.
If at any meeting for the election of Directors, more than one class of
stock, voting separately as classes, shall be entitled to elect one or more
Directors and there shall be a quorum of only one such class of stock, that
class of stock shall be entitled to elect its quota of Directors notwithstanding
the absence of a quorum of the other class or classes of stock.
<PAGE>
Section 2. Vacancies.
Vacancies and newly created directorships resulting from an increase in
the number of Directors shall be filled by a majority of the Directors then in

before the meeting by telephone or by being personally delivered, mailed, or
telegraphed. Such notice need not include a statement of the business to be
transacted at, or the purpose of, any such meeting.
Section 6. Quorum.
Except as may be otherwise provided by law or in these Bylaws, the
presence of one-third of the entire Board shall be necessary and sufficient to
constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of the Board,
and the act of a majority of such quorum shall be deemed the act of the Board.
Less than a quorum may adjourn any meeting of the Board from time to
time without notice.
Section 7. Participation in Meetings by Conference Telephone.
<PAGE>
Members of the Board, or of any committee thereof, may participate in a
meeting of such Board or committee by means of conference telephone or similar

EXHIBIT 10.1
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT, dated as of August 1, 1997, by and between U.S. Bancorp
(formerly First Bank System, Inc.), a Delaware corporation (as further defined
in Section 8.13.11 hereof, "Employer"), and John F. Grundhofer ("Executive"),
replacing the Amended and Restated Employment Agreement by and between Executive
and Employer dated as of August 15, 1996 (the "Prior Agreement").
In consideration of the respective undertakings of Employer and
Executive set forth below, Employer and Executive agree as follows:
1. Employment. Employer hereby employs Executive, and Executive accepts
such employment and agrees to perform services for the Employer, for the period
and upon the other terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
2. Term of Employment. The term of Executive's employment pursuant to
this Agreement will commence on August 1, 1997 (the "Commencement Date") and,
unless terminated at an earlier date in accordance with Section 5 of this
Agreement, shall continue in effect until the fifth anniversary of the
Commencement Date; and, commencing on the first anniversary of the Commencement
Date and on each anniversary thereafter, the term of this Agreement shall
automatically be extended for one additional year unless, not later than 30 days
prior to any such date of automatic extension of this Agreement, Employer or
Executive shall have given the other party to this Agreement written notice that
the Agreement will not be so extended. The term of Executive's employment
commencing on the Commencement Date and ending pursuant to the terms hereof is
hereinafter referred to as the "Period of Employment."
3. Position and Duties.
3.01 Service with Employer. During the Period of Employment,
Executive agrees to perform such reasonable executive employment duties as
Employer shall assign to him from time to time and shall have the title of
President and Chief Executive Officer and upon the earlier of (x) the retirement
of Gerry B. Cameron, and (y) January 1, 1999, the Executive shall have the
additional title of Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Employer;
provided, however, that Employer may name another executive President during the
Period of Employment so long as Executive retains the other titles as herein
provided. Executive also agrees to serve, for any period for which he is
elected, as a director on the Board of Directors of Employer
<PAGE>
and to serve as a member of any committee of the Board of Directors of Employer
to which Executive may be elected or appointed.
3.02 Performance of Duties. Executive agrees to serve Employer
faithfully and to the best of his ability and to devote his full business time,
attention and efforts to the business and affairs of Employer during the Period
of Employment; provided, however, that Executive may engage in other activities,
such as activities involving charitable, educational, religious and similar
types of organizations, speaking engagements, membership on the boards of
directors of other organizations (as Employer may from time to time approve),
management of Executive's personal investments, and similar types of activities
to the extent that such other activities do not inhibit in any material way or
prohibit the performance of Executive's duties under this Agreement, or inhibit
in any material way or conflict with the business of Employer and its
subsidiaries.
4. Compensation.
4.01 Base Salary. As base compensation for all services to be
rendered by Executive under this Agreement, Employer will pay to Executive
during the Period of Employment a base annual salary ("Annual Salary") to be
paid in substantially equal installments in accordance with Employer's standard
payroll procedures and policies. The Annual Salary will be at least $840,000,
but the Annual Salary may be increased (but not reduced) from time to time in
the sole discretion of Employer; provided, however, that for any of the three
years beginning after a Change in Control, as defined in Section 8.13, during
the Period of Employment Executive's Annual Salary shall be increased by a
percentage not less than the average percentage increase in the base annual
salary for each of the next five highest paid officers of Employer for such
year.
4.02 Annual Bonus. During the Period of Employment, Executive
will be entitled to participate in the Employer's Executive Incentive Plan (or,
if such Plan shall cease to exist, Employer's annual bonus award program, if
any, for Employer's executives at Executive's grade level) with a target bonus
opportunity at least as great as that provided to the Executive immediately
prior to the Commencement Date. The award of an annual bonus is highly
discretionary and is subject to the terms and provisions of the Executive
Incentive Plan (or, if such Plan shall cease to exist, Employer's annual bonus
award program, if any, for Employer's executives at Executive's grade level).
<PAGE>
4.03 Options and Restricted Stock. During the Period of
Employment, Executive will be eligible to receive grants of Employer's stock
options and restricted stock, or other awards pursuant to equity-based plans of
Employer. Such grants are highly discretionary and would be subject to the terms
of the applicable agreements prescribed by Employer from time to time.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive shall be granted
on the date hereof 50,000 shares of restricted common stock of the Employer (the
"Restricted Stock"). The Restricted Stock shall vest in five equal installments
on each of the first through fifth anniversaries of the date of grant but shall
vest immediately upon the Executive's death or Disability (as defined in the
Employer's Disability Program) or upon a termination of the Executive's
employment by the Employer without Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason, or
upon a Full Change in Control. The Executive shall be granted as of the date
hereof an option (the "Option") to acquire 150,000 shares of the Employer's
common stock at their Fair Market Value on the date of grant (as defined in the
Employer's 1997 Stock Incentive Plan). The Option shall have a term of 10 years
and shall vest and become exercisable in full on the fifth anniversary of the
date of grant, subject to acceleration in the event of achievement of
performance targets set forth in the grant of the Option, and shall be subject
to all other terms and conditions currently applicable to options granted under
such Plan to other executive officers of the Employer. The Option shall vest and
become immediately exercisable upon the Executive's death or Disability (as
defined in the Employer's Disability Program) or upon a termination of the
Executive's employment by the Employer without Cause or by the Executive for
Good Reason, or upon a Full Change in Control.
4.04 Participation in Other Benefit Plans. During the Period
of Employment, Executive will be entitled to participate in such retirement
plans, major medical, hospital, surgical and dental plans, executive disability
plans and other Employer benefits not described elsewhere in this Section 4 as
are being provided by Employer to executives at Executive's grade level from
time to time to the extent that Executive's age, positions and other factors
qualify him for such benefits. If, for any period during the Period of
Employment, Executive is not eligible by reason of length of service to
participate in such plans maintained by Employer, Employer shall provide
Executive with benefits equivalent to those provided under such plans and, with
respect to benefits provided by Employer equivalent to those provided under
Employer's major medical, hospital, surgical and dental plans, shall compensate
Executive on an after-tax basis for any additional income taxes payable by
<PAGE>
Executive by reason of Employer providing such benefits directly rather than
through such plans. Upon a termination of employment for any reason and for the
remainder of the Executive's life and that of his current spouse, the Employer
shall continue to provide medical and dental benefits in the aggregate to the
Executive and his current spouse pursuant to the Employer's Retiree Health Care
Program at a subsidized cost on the same basis as the Employer subsidizes
premiums for retirees of the Employer who retired prior to January 1, 1993
(collectively "Medical Benefits"). The Executive and his current spouse's
entitlement to Medical Benefits shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
4.05 Long-Term Disability Benefits. During the Period of
Employment, Executive's annual benefit under Employer's long-term disability
plan not be less than 60% of the total of (i) Executive's base annual salary at
the date of disability plus (ii) the annual average of bonuses received by
Executive during the three prior Executive Incentive Plan years (or, if such
Plan shall cease to exist, such other annual bonus award program, if any,
pursuant to which Executive received annual bonus payments), and Employer agrees
to pay Executive (at the time benefits are payable under the long-term
disability plan) the excess, if any, of such annual benefit over the annual
benefit provided by Employer's long-term disability plan.
4.06 Survivor Benefit Programs; Life Insurance. During the
Period of Employment, Executive will be entitled to participate in survivor
benefit programs covering Employer's executives at Executive's grade level in
effect on the Commencement Date or as modified or supplemented by Employer from
time to time. If, for any period during the Period of Employment, Executive is
not eligible to participate in such survivor benefit programs, Employer shall
provide Executive with benefits equivalent to those provided under such
programs. In addition, during the Period of Employment Employer shall continue
to provide a life insurance policy with a face value of at least $1 million for
the benefit of a beneficiary designated by Executive (or, if no beneficiary is
designated, for the benefit of Executive's spouse). Such insurance policy shall
be in addition to the amount of group term insurance, if any, provided to
Executive under an insurance plan maintained by Employer for its employees
generally. Executive hereby represents to Employer that Executive is insurable
on normal terms and conditions.
4.07 Retirement Benefits. The Executive shall be entitled to a
retirement benefit pursuant to the Employer's Non-Qualified Supplemental
Executive Retirement Plan in effect
<PAGE>
as of the date hereof (the "NQSRP"), with the following modifications: (i) the
Executive's lifetime annual pension benefit commencing at age 65 shall be 57.5%
of his final three year's average compensation, (ii) the Executive shall be
fully vested in this benefit at age 60, with no actuarial or other reduction for
retirement prior to age 65 but after age 60 but with a reduction for
commencement of benefits prior to age 65, (iii) the Prior Plans' Offset (as
defined in the NQSRP) shall be fixed at $270,000 per year, and (iv) the
Executive's minimum actual pension from all Employer qualified plans and the
NQSRP shall not be less than $1 million per year, commencing at age 65 and, if
the joint and survivor form of benefit is elected, his spouse's minimum total
survivor benefit from all sources upon executive's death at or after age 65
shall not be less than $500,000 per year. In the event of any conflict between
the terms of this Section 4.07 and the NQSRP, the provisions of this Section
4.07 shall prevail.
4.08 Vacation and Sick Leave. During the Period of Employment,
Executive will be entitled to reasonable paid vacation periods each year, will
be entitled to carry over to subsequent years unused vacation periods, and upon
termination of employment will be entitled to be paid for unused vacation
periods, in each case in accordance with Employer's policy for executives at
Executive's grade level from time to time. Executive will also be entitled to
reasonable sick leave in accordance with Employer's policy for executives at
Executive's grade level from time to time.
4.09 Perquisites. During the Period of Employment, Employer
will provide Executive with such perquisites as Employer from time to time
provides to executives at Executive's grade level including, without limitation,
(a) an automobile or automobile allowance consistent with Employer's policies

fees, if any, and dues for one country club and one business club of Executive's
choice, and (c) the reimbursement of the cost of financial and tax counseling
(subject to an annual limit of two percent of current base annual salary).
Additionally, during the Period of Employment, Employer will reimburse Executive
for the difference between (i) interest payments made by Executive on
Executive's real estate mortgage loan for his personal residence (with the loan
amount not to exceed 80% of the purchase price for such residence) and (ii) the
interest payments that would apply to such loan if the interest rate on such
loan were one percentage point less than the interest rate generally prevailing
in the market at the time the loan was entered into.
<PAGE>
4.10 Expenses. Employer will reimburse Executive for all
expenses and disbursements reasonably incurred by Executive in the performance
of his duties during the Period of Employment, and such other facilities or
services as Employer and Executive may, from time to time, agree are
reimbursable, subject to the presentment of appropriate vouchers in accordance
with the Employer's normal policies for expense verification.
4.11 Indemnity and Hold Harmless. Except to the extent
inconsistent with Employer's charter or bylaws, Employer will indemnify
Executive and hold Executive harmless to the fullest extent permitted by law
with respect to acts of Executive as an officer and director of Employer during
the Period of Employment. Employer further agrees that if and to the extent
Employer in its sole discretion maintains directors' and officers' insurance
policies, Executive will be covered by such policies with respect to acts of
Executive as an officer and director of Employer during the Period of Employment
to the same extent as all other officers and directors of Employer under such
policies.
4.12 Payments on Account of Restricted Stock Relating to
Former Employment. Employer has established and is maintaining a bookkeeping
account for Executive (the "Bookkeeping Account"), which account was initially
credited with $305,074, representing the amount agreed to be paid to Executive
and not paid to date in respect of shares of Wells Fargo & Company ("Wells
Fargo") Common Stock transferred by Wells Fargo to Executive, but not vested, as
of January 30, 1990. The amount credited to the Bookkeeping Account shall be
deemed to have been invested in such stock, bonds or other securities as
Executive shall, from time to time, designate in writing to Employer's Executive
Vice President, Human Resources, or such other individual as Employer shall
designate, which deemed investments must be reasonably acceptable to Employer
and must be of a type that Employer would be permitted to make under applicable
laws and regulations. The Bookkeeping Account shall be credited or debited, as
the case may be, with gains or losses deemed incurred as a result of such
designated, deemed investments.
Certain debits have been made to the Bookkeeping Account as
provided in the Employment Agreement dated December 30, 1992 by and between
Employer and Executive (the "1992 Employment Agreement"). The balance of the
Bookkeeping Account shall become payable to, or with respect to, Executive upon
the earliest of the following events (i) January 30, 2003, (ii) Executive's
death or (iii) Executive's termination of employment for any reason within 24
months after a Change in Control.
<PAGE>
In the event the balance of the Bookkeeping Account becomes payable upon
Executive's termination of employment for any reason other than death within 24
months after a Change in Control, the entire balance shall be paid within 30
days of such event. In the event the balance of the Bookkeeping Account becomes
payable upon Executive's death, the entire balance shall be paid by December 31
of the calendar year in which Executive dies. Upon the occurrence of any other
event giving rise to Employer's obligation to pay Executive the balance of the
Bookkeeping Account, on January 30 of each year beginning in the year 2003 and
for each of the next nine consecutive years, after taking into account any
amount credited or debited to the Bookkeeping Account as a result of the deemed
investment thereof or otherwise pursuant to the terms of this Section 4.12, the
following proportions of the Bookkeeping Account shall be paid to Executive:
1/10, 1/9, 1/8, 1/7, 1/6, 1/5, 1/4, 1/3, 1/2 and the entire remaining balance
thereof.
Employer, in its sole and absolute discretion, may alter the
timing or manner of payment of the balance of the Bookkeeping Account in the
event that Executive establishes to the satisfaction of Employer severe
financial hardship. Severe financial hardship will be deemed to have occurred in
the event of Executive's impending bankruptcy, a dependent's long and serious
illness or other events of similar magnitude. Executive may designate a
beneficiary or beneficiaries who, upon his death, are to receive distributions
that otherwise would have been paid to Executive. All designations shall be in
writing and shall be effective only if and when delivered to Employer during the
lifetime of Executive.
Employer shall have the right to deduct from all payments made
pursuant to this Section 4.12 any federal, state or local taxes required by law
to be withheld with respect to such payments. Executive and Employer understand
and agree that the timetable set forth above with respect to the payment of the
balance of the Bookkeeping Account is irrevocable and shall not be subject to
any amendment or modification. Further, Executive and Employer understand and
agree that Employer is under a contractual obligation to make payments to
Executive in accordance with this Section 4.12. Such payments shall not be
financed from any trust fund, insurance or otherwise and shall be paid solely
out of the general funds of Employer, and Executive shall have no interest
whatsoever in any investments made by Employer on account of Executive's request
with respect to deemed investments of the Bookkeeping Account. Executive will
not have any interest whatsoever in any specific asset of Employer as a result
of this Agreement, and Executive's rights to payments hereunder shall be no
greater than the right of any other general, unsecured creditor of Employer. In
no event
<PAGE>
shall Employer make any payment hereunder to any assignee or creditor of
Executive or a beneficiary. Prior to the time of payment hereunder, Executive or
a beneficiary thereof shall have no rights by way of anticipation or otherwise
to assign or otherwise dispose of any interest under this Section 4.12, nor
shall such rights be assigned or transferred by operation of law.
5. Termination.
5.01 Grounds for Termination. The Period of Employment will
terminate prior to the expiration of the term set forth in Section 2 of this
Agreement in the event that:
(a) Executive shall die.
(b) Executive shall qualify for and accrue payments under
Employer's Disability Program for a period covering 90
consecutive days.
(c) Employer shall terminate the Period of Employment for Cause.
"Cause" means termination upon (i) the willful and continued
failure by Executive to substantially perform his duties with
Employer (other than any such failure resulting from his
disability or from termination by Executive for Good Reason),
after a written demand for substantial performance is
delivered to Executive that specifically identifies the manner
in which Employer believes that Executive has not
substantially performed his duties, and Executive has failed
to resume substantial performance of his duties on a
continuous basis within 14 days of receiving such demand, (ii)
the willful engaging by Executive in conduct which is
demonstrably and materially injurious to Employer, monetarily
or otherwise, (iii) Executive's conviction of a felony which
impairs his ability substantially to perform his duties with
Employer or (iv) the issuance of an order under Section
8(e)(4) or 8(g)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act
("FDIC") by which Executive is removed and/or permanently
prohibited from participating in the conduct of the affairs of
Employer and/or any other Affiliate of Employer. For purposes
of this paragraph, no act, or failure to act, on Executive's
part will be deemed "willful" unless done, or omitted to be
done, by Executive not in good faith and without reasonable
belief that his action or
<PAGE>
omission was in the best interest of Employer. Failure to
perform Executive's duties with Employer during any period of
disability shall not constitute Cause.
(d) Executive shall terminate the Period of Employment for Good
Reason. "Good Reason" means termination by Executive upon the
occurrence, without Executive's consent, of any one or more of
the following: (i) the assignment to Executive of any duties
inconsistent in any respect with Executive's position
(including status, offices, titles, and reporting
requirements), authorities, duties, or other responsibilities
as in effect immediately prior to such assignment or any other
action of Employer which results in a diminishment in such
position, authority, duties, or responsibilities, other than
an insubstantial and inadvertent action which is remedied by
Employer promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by
Executive, and other than the Employer's providing the title
of President of the Employer to another executive, provided
that the Executive continues as Chairman of the Board (if he
is then Chairman of the Board) and Chief Executive Officer of
the Employer; (ii) a reduction by Employer in Executive's base
salary as in effect on the Commencement Date or as the same
shall be increased from time to time; (iii) Employer's
requiring Executive to be based at a location in excess of 30
miles from the location of Executive's principal office as of
the Commencement Date; (iv) the failure by Employer to provide
Executive with compensation and benefits at least equal (in
terms of benefit levels and/or reward opportunities) to those
provided for under each compensation or benefit plan, program,
policy and practice as in effect at the Commencement Date (or
as in effect following the Commencement Date, if greater); (v)
the failure of Employer to obtain a satisfactory agreement
from the Resulting Corporation (as hereinafter defined) or any
other successor to Employer to assume and agree to perform
this Agreement; (vi) a material breach by Employer of its
obligations under this Agreement after notice in writing from
Executive and a reasonable opportunity for Employer to correct
such conduct; (vii) any purported termination by Employer of
Executive's employment that is not effected pursuant to a
Notice of Termination (as hereinafter defined); (viii) for the
24 month period following a Full Change in Control (as
hereinafter defined) (or prior to a Full Change in Control in
the event of an
<PAGE>
Anticipatory Termination (as hereinafter defined)), the
failure by the Employer to provide Executive total cash
compensation (consisting of base salary plus cash bonus) with
respect to any fiscal year or portion thereof at least equal
to the greater of (x) actual total cash compensation paid to
Executive with respect to the prior fiscal year or (y) the
average annual total cash compensation paid to Executive with
respect to the prior two fiscal years (total cash compensation
with respect to any fiscal year or portion thereof shall be
determined at the time the bonus with respect to such fiscal
year or portion thereof is determined, even if such bonus is
determined after the 24-month period following a Full Change
in Control, and the bonus portion of cash compensation for
services rendered in any portion of a fiscal year within 24
months following a Full Change in Control shall be determined
by reference to the pro-rata portion of any annual bonus for
such fiscal year) and (ix) within 24 months following a
Partial Change in Control (as hereinafter defined) (or prior
to a Partial Change in Control in the event of an Anticipatory
Termination), a reduction by Employer in Executive's annual
target bonus or maximum bonus award opportunities as in effect
in the prior fiscal year Executive's right to terminate the
Period of Employment for Good Reason shall not be affected by
Executive's incapacity due to physical or mental illness.
Executive's continued employment shall not constitute consent
to, or a waiver of rights with respect to, any circumstance
constituting Good Reason. Termination by Executive of the
Period of Employment for Good Reason shall constitute
termination for Good Reason for all purposes of this
Agreement, notwithstanding that Executive may also thereby be
deemed to have "retired" under any applicable retirement
programs of Employer.
(e) Employer terminates the Period of Employment other than for
"Cause."
(f) Executive terminates the Period of Employment for any reason
not constituting Good Reason.
Notwithstanding any termination of the Period of Employment, Executive, in
consideration of his employment hereunder to the date of such termination, will
remain bound by the provisions of this Agreement that specifically relate to
periods, activities or obligations upon or subsequent to the termination of
Executive's employment.
<PAGE>
5.02 Effect of Termination.

time Notice of Termination is given; (ii) pay as damages to
Executive, not later than 30 days following the date of
termination, a lump sum payment equal to three times the sum
of (A) Executive's annual base salary in effect at the time

potential available to Executive at the time Notice of
Termination is given (or, in the event of termination within
24 months following a Change in Control or in the event of an
Anticipatory Termination, if either of the following amounts
is greater, the bonus earned in the last fiscal year prior to
the date of termination or the average bonus earned in the
last three fiscal years prior to the date of termination,
whichever is larger), (iii) continue to provide the employee
benefits described in Sections 4.04, 4.05 (with disability

termination for a period of three years from the date of such
termination and thereafter, to provide the Executive and his

three years from the date of such termination, (v) cause the

vesting of any restricted stock grants (other than those
pursuant to Employer's Restricted Stock and Performance Plan)
that would have become exercisable or vested, as the case may
be, during the remaining Period of Employment had no such
termination occurred, and cause the Restricted Stock and the
Option to become immediately vested and exercisable, as the
case may be, (vi) cause the acceleration of vesting of
restricted stock grants under Employer's Restricted Stock and

occurred, (vii) give Executive credit for three additional
years of age and service (or five additional years in the
event of termination within 24 months following a Change in
Control or in the event of an Anticipatory Termination) for
all purposes in determining Executive's retirement benefits
pursuant to Section 4.07 and the NQSRP, (viii) in the event of
termination within 24 months following a Change in Control or
in the event of an Anticipatory Termination, pay Executive the
full amount of any long-term cash incentive award for any plan
periods then in progress to the extent not provided for in any
Employer long-term cash incentive plan or plans, (ix) in the
event of termination within 24 months following a Change in
Control or in the event of an Anticipatory Termination, pay

incentive award for any plan as in effect immediately prior to
the Change in Control to the extent not provided for in such
plan or plans, and (x) pay for individual outplacement
counseling services to Executive up to a maximum of $60,000.
Except as otherwise provided in clause (ix) of this Section
5.02(d), Executive will not be paid any annual bonus pursuant
to Section 4.02 of this Agreement for the calendar year in
which the termination occurs.
5.03 Notice of Termination. Any purported termination by
Employer or Executive of the Period of Employment shall be communicated by
written Notice of Termination to the other party hereto. For purposes of this
Agreement, a "Notice of Termination" shall mean a notice which indicates the
specific termination provision in Section 5.01 above relied upon.
5.04 Offsets. Executive shall have no duty to seek other
employment. However, in the event of termination of the Period of Employment
pursuant to the provisions of Sections 5.01(d) or 5.01(e), the following offsets
will apply to reduce the payments and benefits which Executive shall be entitled
to receive pursuant to Section 5.02(d): (i)(A) in the event of termination
within 24 months following a Change in Control or in the event of an
Anticipatory Termination, the amount payable to Executive pursuant to Section
5.02(d)(ii) will be offset by any salary, cash bonus and other earned income
(within the meaning of Section 911(d)(2)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the "Code")) received by Executive for services rendered by
Executive to persons or entities other than the Employer during or with respect
to the 36-month period after the date of termination, or (B) in the event of
termination
<PAGE>
at any time not within 24 months following a Change in Control and that is not
an Anticipatory Termination, one-third of the amount payable to Executive
pursuant to Section 5.02(d)(ii)(A) and the entire amount payable to Executive
pursuant to Section 5.02(d)(ii)(B) shall be offset by amounts received by
Executive which are described in subparagraph (A) above; (ii) the benefits
payable to Executive pursuant to Section 5.02(d)(iii) and (iv) shall be
discontinued if Executive obtains full-time employment providing welfare
benefits during the 36-month period following the date of termination; and (iii)
in the event of termination at any time within 24 months following a Change in
Control or in the event of an Anticipatory Termination, any additional benefits
under Employer's SERP pursuant to Section 5.02(d) will be reduced by the amount
of vested defined benefit pension benefits and vested defined benefit
non-qualified supplemental retirement benefits actually payable to Executive
without any risk of forfeiture from persons or entities other than Employer
which are attributable to services rendered by Executive to such other persons
or entities during the 36 months following the date of termination of
Executive's employment. Such reduction shall be calculated based on the vested
benefits payable at age 65 under the single life annuity form of payment under
the applicable plans which are accrued by Executive during such period. The
foregoing calculations for a particular plan shall be made by the actuary for
such plan in accordance with generally accepted actuarial principles. The amount
of such reduction at age 65 shall be actuarially reduced if Executive's benefits
under the Employer's NQSRP, as modified by Section 4.07, commence before
Executive attains age 65.
Not less frequently than annually (by December 31 of each
year), Executive shall account to Employer with respect to all payments and
benefits received by Executive which are required hereunder to be offset against
payments or benefits received by Executive from Employer. If the Employer has
paid amounts in excess of those to which Executive is entitled (after giving
effect to the offsets provided above), Executive shall reimburse Employer for
such excess by December 31 of such year. The requirements imposed under this
paragraph shall terminate on December 31 of the calendar year which includes the
third anniversary of the date of termination.
5.05 Additional Payments. In the event any payment or
distribution of any type by Employer to Executive or for his benefit, whether
paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement or otherwise (the "Total Payments"), would be subject to the excise
tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, or any interest or penalties with
respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such interest and
penalties, are collectively referred to as
<PAGE>
the "Excise Tax"), then Executive shall be entitled to receive an additional
cash payment (a "Gross-Up Payment") equal to an amount such that after payment
by Executive of all taxes (including any interest or penalties imposed with
respect to such taxes), including any Excise Tax, imposed upon the Gross-Up
Payment, Executive would retain an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the
Excise Tax imposed upon the Total Payments. For purposes of determining the
amount of the Gross-Up Payment, which determination shall be made by the
Employer's independent auditors, at the Employer's sole expense, Executive's tax
rate shall be deemed to be the highest statutory marginal state and Federal tax
rate (on a combined basis) (including Executive's share of F.I.C.A. and Medicare
taxes) then in effect. If no determination by Employer's auditors is made prior
to the time a tax return reflecting the Total Payments is required to be filed
by Executive, Executive will be entitled to receive a Gross-Up Payment
calculated on the basis of the Total Payments reported by Executive in such tax
return, within 30 days of the filing of such tax return. In all events, if any
tax authority determines that a greater Excise Tax should be imposed upon the
Total Payments than is determined by the Employer's independent auditors or
reflected in Executive's tax return pursuant to this Section 5.05, Executive
shall be entitled to receive the full Gross-Up Payment calculated on the basis
of the amount of Excise Tax determined to be payable by such tax authority from
Employer within 30 days of such determination.
5.06 Nonexclusivity of Rights. Nothing in this Agreement shall
prevent or limit Executive from continuing or future participation in any
benefit, bonus, incentive, retirement or other plan or program provided by
Employer and for which Executive may qualify, nor, except as expressly provided
in this Agreement, shall anything herein limit or reduce such rights as
Executive may have under any other agreement with, or plan, program, policy or
practice of, Employer. Amounts which are vested benefits or which Executive is
otherwise entitled to receive under any agreement with, or plan, program, policy
or practice of, Employer (including, without limitation, the cash-out of unused
vacation days upon termination of employment) shall be payable in accordance
with such agreement, plan, program, policy or practice, except as explicitly
modified by this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Executive becomes
entitled to benefits under Article 5 of this Agreement, Executive shall not be
entitled to receive payments under any other severance pay plan or program
sponsored or maintained by Employer or any of its Affiliates.
<PAGE>
6. Non-Competition and Unfair Competition.
6.01 Agreement Not to Compete. Without the approval by
resolution of the Board of Directors of Employer, upon termination of
Executive's employment with Employer by Employer for Cause pursuant to Section
5.01(c) or by Executive without Good Reason pursuant to Section 5.01(f),
Executive will not, for a period of three years thereafter, become an officer,
employee, agent, partner, director or substantial stockholder (holding more than
5% of the voting securities), of any bank, savings bank, trust company, bank and
trust company, savings and loan association or holding company thereof, in each
case if such entity conducts business in the State of California, the State of
Colorado, the State of Idaho, the State of Illinois, the State of Iowa, the
State of Kansas, the State of Minnesota, the State of Montana, the State of
Nebraska, the State of Nevada, the State of North Dakota, the State of Oregon,
the State of South Dakota, the State of Utah, the State of Washington, the State
of Wisconsin, the State of Wyoming or any other State in which Employer has
substantial operations.
6.02 Agreement Not to Solicit. Without the approval by
resolution of the Board of Directors of Employer, upon termination of
Executive's employment with Employer for any reason whatsoever, Executive will
not, for the remainder of the Period of Employment if no termination had
occurred (or, if longer, for the one-year period following such termination),
(i) solicit or aid in soliciting as a customer or client of banking or related
financial services (including, without limitation trust, credit card and
investment management services) any person, firm, corporation, association or
other entity (A) that was a customer or client of Employer or any other
Affiliate of Employer, and for which Executive or anyone under Executive's
supervision performed any services or with which substantial business relations
were maintained by Employer or any other Affiliate of Employer at any time
during the five years prior to the termination of the Period of Employment or
(B) whose identity or particular needs Executive otherwise discovered as a
result of his employment with Employer, or (ii) solicit or aid in soliciting any
employees of Employer or any other Affiliate of Employer to leave their
employment. Without the approval by resolution of the Board of Directors of
Employer, upon termination of Executive's Employment with Employer for any
reason whatsoever, Executive agrees never to copy, remove from Employer or its
Affiliates, dispose or make any use of any confidential customer list,
confidential business information with respect to customers, confidential
materials relating to the practices or procedures of Employer or its Affiliates,
or any other proprietary information.
<PAGE>
7. Taxes. All payments to be made to Executive under this Agreement
will be net of required withholding of federal, state and local income and
employment taxes. Whenever under this Agreement Executive is to be compensated
or reimbursed on an "after-tax basis," Executive will be assumed to be subject
to federal income taxes at the highest marginal rate applicable to individuals
and to state income taxes at the highest marginal effective rate for residents
of Minneapolis, Minnesota.

8.01 Governing Law. This Agreement is made under and shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Minnesota.

certain Declaration of Trust, John F. and Beverly J. Grundhofer Living Trust,
dated February 22, 1988, by and between John F. and Beverly J. Grundhofer, as
donors and as original Trustees, as amended and existing at John F. Grundhofer's
death. Reference to the Trustee under the John F. and Beverly J. Grundhofer
Living Trust Agreement means the then acting Trustee or Trustees under the John
F. and Beverly J. Grundhofer Living Trust Agreement and any successor Trustees.
Employer will require the Resulting Corporation or any other
successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, or
otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or consolidated
assets of Employer and its subsidiaries to expressly assume and agree to perform
this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Employer would
be required to perform if no such succession had taken place. Failure of
Employer to obtain such assumption and agreement prior to the effectiveness of
any such succession shall be a breach of this Agreement and shall entitle
Executive to compensation from Employer in the same amount and on the same terms
as Executive would be entitled to hereunder if Executive terminated his
employment for Good Reason following a Change in Control, except that for
purposes of implementing the
<PAGE>
foregoing, the date on which any such succession becomes effective shall be
deemed the date of termination and Notice of Termination shall be deemed to have
been given on such date. In any case where a successor assumes the Employer's
obligations under this Agreement by operation of law, the requirements imposed
in this paragraph will be satisfied if the successor acknowledges to Executive
in writing that it has assumed the Employer's obligations under this Agreement
by operation of law within 30 days of receipt of a written notice from Executive
requesting such acknowledgment.
8.03 Prior Agreements. This Agreement contains the entire
agreement of the parties relating to the employment of Executive by Employer and
the other matters discussed herein and supersedes all prior agreements and
understandings with respect to such subject matter, and the parties hereto have
made no agreements, representations or warranties relating to the subject matter
of this Agreement which are not set forth herein. The Prior Agreement is hereby
terminated and shall have no further force or effect. The Change in Control
Severance Pay Agreement entered into between Employer and Executive on March 16,
1992, which was attached as Exhibit A to the 1992 Employment Agreement with
Employer, remains terminated and of no force or effect.
8.04 Amendments. No amendment or modification of this
Agreement will be deemed effective unless made in writing and signed by each
party hereto.
8.05 No Waiver. No term or condition of this Agreement will be
deemed to have been waived, nor will there be any estoppel to enforce any
provisions of this Agreement, except by a statement in writing signed by the
party against whom enforcement of the waiver or estoppel is sought. Any written
waiver will not be deemed a continuing waiver unless specifically stated, will
operate only as to the specific term or condition waived and will not constitute
a waiver of such term or condition for the future or as to any act other than
that specifically waived.
8.06 Assignment. This Agreement is not assignable, in whole or
in part, by any party without the written consent of the other party.
8.07 Injunctive Relief. Executive agrees that it would be
difficult to compensate Employer fully for damages for any violation of the
provisions of this Agreement, including without limitation the provisions of
Section 6. Accordingly, Executive specifically agrees that Employer will be
entitled to
<PAGE>
temporary and permanent injunctive relief to enforce the provisions of this
Agreement and that such relief may be granted without the necessity of proving
actual damages. This provision with respect to injunctive relief will not,
however, diminish the right of Employer to claim and recover damages in addition
to injunctive relief.
8.08 Disputes and Legal Fees.
(a) Before a Change in Control. Any controversy or claim arising
out of or relating to this Agreement, or the breach thereof,
which is not resolved by the parties will not sooner than 30
days after the dispute shall arise, be settled by arbitration
before three arbitrators in accordance with the rules of the
American Arbitration Association, and judgment upon an award
rendered by the arbitrators, or at least a majority of them,
may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof;
provided, however, that Employer will be entitled to seek
injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of law to
enforce the provisions of Section 6. Such arbitration shall be
conducted in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The expenses incurred in
connection with any arbitration, including but not limited to
each party's legal fees and the arbitrators' fees and
expenses, will be allocated between the parties according to
the relative fault of each, as determined by the arbitrators.
(b) After a Change in Control. Subparagraph (a) above shall not
apply after a Change in Control, and the provisions of this
subparagraph (b) shall apply instead. If Executive so elects,
any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with
this Agreement shall be settled exclusively by arbitration in
accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration
Association then in effect. Judgment may be entered on the
arbitrator's award in any court having jurisdiction. If
Executive does not elect arbitration, Executive may pursue
any and all legal remedies available to him. Employer shall
pay to Executive any legal fees and expenses reasonably
incurred by him after a Change in Control. If Executive elects
arbitration, Employer will pay all fees and expenses of the
arbitrator.
8.09 Severability. To the extent that any provision of this
Agreement shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable, the invalid or
unenforceable portion of such provision will be deleted from this Agreement, and
the validity and
<PAGE>
enforceability of the remainder of such provision and of this Agreement will be
unaffected. In furtherance of and not in limitation of the foregoing, it is
expressly agreed that should the duration of or geographical extent of, or
business activities covered by, the noncompetition covenant contained in Section
6 be determined to be in excess of that which is valid or enforceable under
applicable law, then such provision will be construed to cover only that
duration or extent, or those activities which may validly or enforceably be
covered. Executive acknowledges the uncertainty of the law in this respect and
expressly stipulates that this Agreement will be construed in a manner which
renders its provisions valid and enforceable to the maximum extent (not
exceeding its express terms) possible under applicable law.
8.10 Notices. All notices under this Agreement will be in
writing and will be deemed effective when delivered in person (in Employer's
case, to its Secretary) or twenty-four (24) hours after deposit thereof in the
U.S. mails, postage prepaid, for delivery as registered or certified mail --
addressed, the case of Executive, to him at his last residential address known
by Employer and, in the case of Employer, to its corporate headquarters
attention of its Secretary, or to such other address as Executive or Employer
may designate in writing at any time or from time to time to the other party. In
lieu of notice by deposit in the U.S. mails, a party may give notice by
telegram, telex or telecopy, in which case such notice will be deemed effective
upon receipt.
8.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by the
parties hereto in counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original,
but all such counterparts will together constitute one and the same instrument.
8.12 Headings. The headings of paragraphs herein are included

8.14 Code Section 162(m). Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that Employer's tax deduction
for remuneration in respect of the
<PAGE>
payment of any amount under Sections 5.02, 5.05 or 8.02 of this Agreement would
be disallowed under Code Section 162(m) by reason of the fact that Executive's
applicable employee remuneration, as defined in Code Section 162(m)(4), either
exceeds or, if such amount were paid, would exceed the $1,000,000 limitation in
Code Section 162(m)(1), Employer may, in its sole discretion, defer the payment
of such amount, but only to the extent that, and for so long as, Employer's tax
deduction in respect of the payment thereof would be so disallowed under Code
Section 162(m); provided that no payment may be deferred beyond three months
after the end of Employer's fiscal year in which Executive's termination of
employment occurs, and Employer may accelerate the payment of previously
deferred amounts if it determines that the amount of the tax deduction that
would be disallowed is not significant. Amounts which are deferred under this
Section 8.14 will be credited with interest at a rate determined by Employer
from time to time, but in no event less than the long-term applicable federal
rate under Code Section 1274(d) in effect from time to time.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Executive and Employer have executed this
Agreement as of the date set forth in the first paragraph hereof.

award for any plan as in effect immediately prior to the Change in
Control to the extent not provided for in such plan or plans and the
amount of any annual cash incentive award for any plan as in effect for
the immediately prior year if Executive would have received such an
award if there had been no such termination of employment in the then
current year, and"
2. Section 8.13.10 of the Agreement is amended in its entirety to provide
as follows:
"8.13.10 'Continuing Director' shall mean any person who is a member of

Directors, who is not an Acquiring Person or an Affiliate or Associate
of an Acquiring Person, or a representative of an Acquiring Person or

<PAGE>
any director designated by or on behalf of a Person who has entered
into an agreement with Employer (or who is contemplating entering into

Company Entity, or other reorganization, with or into one or more
entities which are not Company Entities, and any director that serves
in connection with the act of the Board of Directors of increasing the
number of directors and filling vacancies in connection with, or in
contemplation of, any such transaction, shall not be deemed to have
received such advance approval for initial nomination or election, and
any such director shall not be deemed to be a Continuing Director, in
each case solely for the purpose of determining whether the addition of
members of the Board of Directors in connection with, or in
contemplation of, such transaction results in a Full Change in Control
under clause (B) of Section 8.13.13 of this Agreement."
3. Clause (B) of Section 8.13.13 of the Agreement is amended in its
entirety to provide as follows:
"(B) the Continuing Directors cease to constitute a majority of the
Board of Directors of Employer or the Resulting Corporation, except in
accordance with the terms of a Permitted Transaction and except as a
result of the death, retirement or disability of one or more Continuing
Directors."
4. Section 8.13.16 of the Agreement is amended in its entirety to provide
as follows:
"8.13.16 'Permitted Transaction' shall mean a transaction in which,
pursuant to a written agreement between Employer and all Persons who
have entered into an agreement with Employer to effect a transaction
described in paragraph (A) of the definition of Partial Change in
Control, it is agreed that (w) the Chief Executive Officer of Employer
immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction shall be the
Chief Executive Officer of the Resulting Corporation for not less than
three years following consummation of such transaction, (x) upon
termination of service of any Permitted Director for any reason,
including upon death, disability or retirement, prior to the expiration
of such director's term during such three-year period, the vacancy
thereby created shall be filled by a nominee selected solely by the
Permitted Directors, (y) upon expiration of the term of any Permitted
Director during such three-year period, the nominee to succeed such
director shall be selected solely by the Permitted Directors and (z)
the parties will take other appropriate steps to ensure that the Board
of Directors of the Resulting Corporation will be evenly divided

between Permitted Directors and all directors designated by other
parties to the transaction during such three-year period.

directors added to the Board of Directors (x) pursuant to an expansion
of the number of members of the Board of Directors approved by 75% of
the then current members of the Board of Directors or (y) pursuant to
the terms of any subsequent agreement relating to an acquisition by or
of the Company, shall not be subject to the foregoing limitations. The
determination of whether a transaction constitutes a Permitted
Transaction shall be made at the time of consummation of such
transaction, and no subsequent events shall cause such transaction to
no longer constitute a Permitted Transaction."
5. The Agreement is amended to add a new Section 8.13.18 as follows:
"8.13.18 'Permitted Director' shall mean a director who was a
Continuing Director immediately prior to consummation of a Permitted
Transaction and any director who fills a vacancy created by the

director of any Permitted Director if such person was selected solely
by the then current Permitted Directors."

effect.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Executive and Employer have executed this Agreement as
