NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION - The consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of Northern Trust Corporation and its subsidiaries ("Northern
Trust"), all of which are wholly owned.  Significant intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated.  The consolidated financial statements as of
June 30, 1995 and 1994 have not been audited by independent public accountants.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation
of the financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods
have been made.  All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.  Certain
reclassifications have been made to prior periods' consolidated financial
statements to place them on a basis comparable with the current period's
consolidated financial statements.  For a description of Northern Trust's
significant accounting principles, refer to the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements in the 1994 Annual Report to Stockholders.

At June 30, 1995, other domestic and international loans include $842.1 million
of overnight trust-related advances in connection with next day security
settlements, compared with $716.5 million at December 31, 1994 and $799.0
million at June 30, 1994.

Northern Trust adopted Statements of Financial Accounting Standards Nos. 114 and
118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan", effective January 1,
1995.  These statements provide guidance as to when loans should be classified
and reported as impaired and address how the reserve for credit losses related
to these loans should be determined.  Any shortfall  in the estimated value of
an impaired loan compared with the recorded investment of the loan is identified
as an allocated portion of the reserve for credit losses and is one of the
factors considered by management in their overall assessment of reserve
adequacy.  No changes were required to Northern Trust's accounting policies for
loans, charge-offs and interest income as a result of adopting these statements.
These policies are described in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Notes 1E and 1F) in the 1994 Annual Report.

At June 30, 1995, nonperforming assets totaled $34.5 million.  Included in this
amount were loans with a recorded investment of $30.0 million which were also
classified as impaired.  Impaired loans totaling $26.0 million had no portion of
the reserve for credit losses allocated to them, while $4.0 million had an
allocated reserve of $.7 million.  For the second quarter of 1995,   the total
recorded investment in impaired loans averaged $26.4 million.  Total interest
income recognized on impaired loans for the quarter ended June 30, 1995 was $230
thousand, most of which was recognized using the cash-basis method of
accounting.


6.  RESERVE FOR CREDIT LOSSES - Changes in the reserve for credit losses were

7.  ACQUISITIONS - The acquisition of Beach One Financial Services, Inc.,
parent company of The Beach Bank of Vero Beach, Florida, was completed on March
31, 1995.  The acquisition was effected through a merger in which Northern Trust
Corporation issued 1,622,568 shares of its Common Stock.  The Corporation has
accounted for the transaction as a pooling-of-interests.  Prior period
consolidated financial statements were not restated due to the immateriality of
the transaction.

In February, 1995, the Corporation entered into a definitive agreement to
acquire Tanglewood Bancshares, Inc., parent company of Tanglewood Bank N.A.
Houston for $33.0 million in cash.

Tanglewood's assets totaled $229.9 million at December 31, 1994 and net income
totaled $2.6 million in 1994.  Following approval by Tanglewood
shareholders in May and regulatory approval in June, the acquisition was 
completed July 31, 1995.

In March, 1995, the Corporation entered into a definitive agreement to acquire
RCB International Inc. an international provider of institutional investment
management services, for approximately $14.2 million in cash and 608,571 shares
of Northern Trust Corporation Common Stock, with a portion payable at closing
and the balance payable through deferred compensation plans.  RCB, headquartered
in Stamford, Connecticut and with offices in Canada and the United Kingdom, had
net revenues of $11.1 million in the fiscal year ending June 30, 1995.  The
agreement, which was approved by RCB shareholders in July 1995, is subject to
regulatory approvals and is expected to close in the second half of 1995.

8.  OFF BALANCE SHEET FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - In accordance with the terms of 
the 1994 agreement with The Benchmark Funds (see the 1994 Annual Report, Note 
17c. to Consolidated Financial Statements) the Corporation exercised its option 
in June 1995 to purchase from the Funds certain floating rate federal agency 
securities at an aggregate price of $110.6 million, equal to the Funds' 
amortized cost basis in the securities. The securities, which mature in February
1997, were recorded by the Corporation at their fair value of $107.7 million. 
The charge recorded by the Corporation when it entered into the 1994 agreement 
more than covered the difference between the purchase price and fair value.

     Item 2:     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                      CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



     SECOND QUARTER EARNINGS HIGHLIGHTS

     Net income for the second quarter totaled a record $53.1 million, an
     increase of 9% from the $48.7 million reported in the second quarter of
     1994.  Net income per common share on a fully diluted basis increased 5% to
     $.89 in the 1995 quarter from $.85 in the second quarter of 1994, which
     included a nonrecurring gain and certain nonrecurring charges that resulted
     in a net addition to income of $5.2 million.  This earnings performance
     produced an annualized return on average common equity (ROE) of 17.09%
     versus 18.06% reported last year and a return on average assets (ROA) of
     1.13% versus 1.10% in 1994.  Record levels of trust fees, net interest
     income, and foreign exchange trading profits contributed to the quarter's
     performance.  Total noninterest expenses increased 6% after adjusting for
     several nonrecurring items in the year ago quarter's results, and were
     essentially unchanged from the first quarter of 1995.


     NONINTEREST INCOME

     Noninterest income totaled $168.5 million for the quarter, accounting for
     63% of total taxable equivalent revenue.  Excluding the effects of the
     $28.5 million pretax gain on the sale of the Corporation's interest in
     Banque Scandinave en Suisse (BSS) recorded in the second quarter of 1994,
     total noninterest income improved 12%.  Trust fees, which represent 73% of
     noninterest income and 46% of total taxable equivalent revenue, grew 9% or
     $9.8 million over last year reaching $123.3 million.  The increase reflects
     9% growth levels in both the Corporate and Institutional Services (C&IS)
     and Personal Financial Services (PFS) business units. Total trust assets
     under administration at quarter-end were $549.3 billion, up $68.2 billion
     from one year ago.

     Trust fees from C&IS increased $5.0 million to $62.7 million.  The
     increases in fees from Hazlehurst & Associates, Inc., acquired in the
     second quarter of 1994, securities lending activities and investment
     management services were the principal factors contributing to the growth
     over the year ago quarter.  Domestic securities lending fees, up 33% versus
     last year, reflect a 10% increase in the volume of securities loaned as
     well as higher spreads earned from the investment of the cash collateral.
     Investment management fees increased 24% as a result of new business,
     particularly in actively managed equity funds and fixed income investments.
     Custody fees were essentially unchanged from the second quarter of 1994,
     due in part to a greater portion of global custody assets being reinvested
     into the U.S. market where both custody fees and the expense structure of
     custody providers are lower.  In addition, new business growth has been
     partially offset by pricing adjustments to retain custody clients who also
     tend to use foreign exchange,

                                      10
<PAGE>


     securities lending and deposit and other related services.  C&IS trust
     assets under administration grew 14% or $59.5 billion over last year and
     now total $491.4 billion.  C&IS Assets under the management of Northern
     Trust total $55.8 billion, up 16% from a year ago.

     PFS trust fees amounted to $60.6 million, up 9% or $4.8 million from one
     year ago. The main contributors to this fee growth were the Wealth
     Management Group and the Florida and Texas subsidiaries.  Personal
     Financial Services fees benefited from higher investment management
     revenues and increased advisory and servicing revenues from The Northern
     Funds, established in April of 1994.  The increase in trust fees also
     reflects the contribution of The Beach Bank of Vero Beach, Florida (Beach
     Bank), a March 31, 1995 acquisition.  Total personal trust assets under
     administration increased $8.7 billion over last year and totaled $57.9
     billion, with $35.3 billion under management.

     Security commissions and trading income totaled $5.2 million, compared with
     $6.0 million reported in the second quarter of last year.

     Other operating income in the quarter totaled $39.9 million, compared to
     $59.4 million in the second quarter of 1994 which included a $28.5 million
     pretax gain on the sale of the Corporation's interest in BSS.  Foreign
     exchange trading profits were at record levels and totaled $15.6 million,
     an increase of $9.4 million.  Foreign exchange revenues are related
     primarily to the cross-border investment activities of Master Trust/Master
     Custody clients.  The fee portion of treasury management revenues rose 3%
     to $12.1 million.  Total treasury management revenues, which, in addition
     to fees, include the value of compensating deposit balances, increased 5%
     to $19.2 million. These compensating deposit balances also contributed to
     the improvement in net interest income.


     NET INTEREST INCOME

     Net interest income for the second quarter totaled $88.0 million, 8% higher
     than the $81.3 million reported in the second quarter of 1994.  Net
     interest income is defined as the total of interest income and amortized
     fees on earning assets less interest expense on deposits and borrowed funds
     adjusted for the impact of off-balance sheet hedging activity.  When net
     interest income is adjusted to a fully taxable equivalent (FTE) basis,
     yields on taxable, nontaxable and partially taxable assets are comparable,
     although the adjustment to a FTE basis has no impact on net income.  Net
     interest income on an FTE basis for the second quarter was $97.5 million,
     up 9% from the $89.5 million reported in 1994.  This increase is due to
     higher levels of average earning assets, reflecting in part the acquisition
     of Beach Bank, in addition to a modest improvement in the net interest
     margin to 2.35% from 2.32% last year.

                                      11
<PAGE>
 

     Earning assets for the second quarter averaged $16.7 billion, up 8% from
     the $15.5 billion in the second quarter of 1994.  The $1.2 billion growth
     in earning assets reflects an 8% or $702 million increase in average loans,
     a $1.3 billion or 29% growth in average securities and a $854 million or
     33% decrease in average money market assets.

     Overall loan volume reflected an $850 million or 11% growth in domestic
     lending.  Approximately one-half of the increase in domestic lending is
     attributable to residential mortgage loans now accounting for 39% of the
     total average loan portfolio.  Commercial and industrial loans grew 14% or
     $386 million to average $3.1 billion for the quarter.  In addition,
     domestic and international overnight advances related to processing certain
     trust client investments averaged $623 million, up $66 million from a year
     ago.  Securities for the quarter averaged $5.9 billion, up 29% from the
     $4.6 billion reported last year, due primarily to a $2.5 billion increase
     in short-term federal agency securities, offset in part by a $1.1 billion
     reduction in U.S. Government securities.   The decline in money market
     assets of $854 million was due to short term interest rates providing fewer
     opportunities to add marginal net interest income.

     The growth in average earning assets was funded primarily by increased
     levels of interest-bearing time deposits and noninterest-related funds.
     Interest-bearing deposits averaged $9.4 billion, up $1.3 billion from the
     second quarter of 1994.  This growth came principally from savings
     certificates (up $847 million), global custody deposit activity in London
     (up $298 million), and an increase of $216 million in other foreign time
     deposits which also are global custody related.  The 73% increase in the
     average volume of savings certificates is due in large part to successful
     certificate of deposit campaigns conducted periodically during last year's
     fourth quarter and the first quarter of 1995.  This inflow of funds has
     helped to reduce the reliance on wholesale funding sources, as average
     borrowed funds declined by $382 million from last year.  Average
     noninterest-related funds increased $226 million, due primarily to growth
     in stockholders' equity.  Total average stockholders' equity increased $153
     million or 13% from the second quarter of 1994.  This increase reflects the
     retention of earnings and the March 31, 1995 issuance of approximately 1.6
     million shares of Northern Trust Corporation Common Stock to complete the
     acquisition of Beach Bank.

     The net interest margin increased to 2.35% compared with 2.32% last year
     due primarily to an increased volume of loans on which a higher margin is
     earned versus money market assets.  Also contributing to the improvement in
     net interest margin was the increase in average noninterest-related funds.


     PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES

     The provision for credit losses of $1.5 million compares to $1.0 million in
     the second quarter of 1994.  For a discussion of the reserve for credit
     losses, refer to the Asset Quality section on pages 15 and 16.

                                      12

     NONINTEREST EXPENSES

     Noninterest expenses totaled $177.9 million for the quarter, down 5% from
     $187.5 million in the second quarter of 1994.  Included in the year ago
     quarter's results were approximately $20.1 million in special charges.
     Adjusting for these nonrecurring items results in an increase in total
     noninterest expenses of 6% compared to last year. Included in the current
     quarter is a $.7 million expense for compensation payments pursuant to a
     consent decree resolving the investigation by the Department of Justice
     into the fair lending practices of Northern Trust's Illinois banking
     subsidiaries.  The majority of the remaining increase was concentrated
     primarily in salaries and benefits, technology, personal trust business
     expansion, and Northern's growing global custody business.

     Salaries and benefits, which represent 59% of total noninterest expenses,
     increased 6% to $105.2 million.  The prior year results include a $3.0
     million addition to salary expense covering back pay obligations as a
     result of a review of the Corporation's overtime pay policy.  Exclusive of
     this special charge, salary and benefit costs increased 9% from the second
     quarter of 1994.  The principal items contributing to the increase were
     merit increases, additions to staff at Hazlehurst & Associates, Inc.,
     personnel added in the Beach Bank acquisition, and higher costs related to
     incentive plans, health care, retirement benefits and payroll taxes.  Staff
     on a full-time equivalent basis, including 106 positions at Hazlehurst and
     86 positions at Beach Bank, averaged 6,560 compared with 6,356 in the
     second quarter of 1994. Excluding the positions added by the Beach Bank
     acquisition, staff levels declined by approximately 120 positions since the
     end of 1994.

     Net occupancy expenses totaled $15.3 million, up 4% or $.7 million from
     $14.6 million in 1994.  The principal components of the increase were
     higher lease operating costs, amortization and depreciation of leasehold
     improvements and buildings, as well as expansion costs related to the
     opening of new offices in Florida and Illinois.

     Equipment expense, which includes depreciation, rental, and maintenance
     costs, totaled $12.0 million, down $10.7 million from the second quarter of
     1994.  Included in the prior year results is a charge of $11.2 million
     covering the trade-in and the sale and leaseback of mainframe computer
     equipment.  Exclusive of this nonrecurring item, total equipment expense
     increased $.5 million or 4% primarily reflecting higher computer rental and
     maintenance costs, offset in part by reduced depreciation expense as a
     result of last year's sale and leaseback transaction.

     Other operating expenses totaled $45.4 million, down 10% from $50.6 million
     in the second quarter of 1994. The prior period results include a $3.5
     million charge relating to an agreement with The Benchmark Funds and a $2.4
     million write-down of older trust-related software. Included in other
     operating expenses is a one-time charge of $.7 million related to the
     consent decree resolving the Department of Justice investigation. Increases
     in computer software amortization, up $1.7 million to $8.7 million, along
     with increases in professional services, transaction-based

                                      13
<PAGE>
 

     depository fees, business promotion and advertising, were partially offset
     by lower levels of costs incurred from processing errors and other real
     estate owned operating costs.


     PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

     The provision for income taxes was $24.0 million for the second quarter
     compared with $22.9 million in 1994.  The higher tax provision in 1995
     resulted from the growth in taxable earnings for federal income tax
     purposes while tax-exempt income declined slightly.  Partially offsetting
     this was a lower state income tax provision due to increased levels of tax-
     exempt income for state purposes.  The effective tax rate was 31% for the
     quarter versus 32% in 1994.


     SIX MONTHS EARNINGS HIGHLIGHTS

     Net income totaled $102.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 1995
     compared to $94.1 million last year, an increase of 9%.  On a fully diluted
     basis, net income per common share was $1.74, up 6% from the $1.64 earned
     last year.  The ROE for the six month period was 16.97% versus 17.96% one
     year ago, while the ROA was 1.11% versus 1.08% in 1994.

     Noninterest income increased 1% to $330.1 million from $328.4 million in
     the like period of 1994. Excluding the BSS gain of $28.5 million recorded
     last year, the year to year increase was $30.2 million or 10%. Noninterest
     income comprised 63% of total taxable equivalent revenue in 1995. Trust
     fees totaled $244.1 million, up 9.5% from $223.0 million last year.
     Security commissions and trading income totaled $11.1 million, down $1.7
     million from the $12.8 million earned last year. Other operating income,
     excluding the BSS gain from the prior year, increased 17% to $74.7 million.
     Foreign exchange trading profits were at record levels and totaled $26.8
     million, an increase of $10.6 million compared with the first six months of
     1994. The fee portion of treasury management revenues totaled $24.4
     million, a 3% improvement from the $23.7 million reported in 1994. Total
     treasury management revenues, which in addition to fees include the value
     of compensating deposit balances, increased 8% and totaled $39.1 million.
     These compensating deposit balances also contributed to the improvement in
     net interest income.

     Net interest income stated on a fully taxable equivalent basis totaled a
     record $195.6 million, up 9% from the $178.9 million reported in the like
     period of 1994. The provision for credit losses decreased to $3.0 million
     from $4.0 million last year. Net loan charge-offs likewise declined to $3.0
     million from $4.6 million in 1994. Noninterest expenses totaled $355.2
     million, up 2% from $349.4 million in 1994. Exclusive of nonrecurring
     charges in 1994, total noninterest expenses increased 8% from prior year
     levels.

     BALANCE SHEET

     Total assets as of June 30, 1995 were $19.3 billion and averaged $18.6
     billion for the first six months, up 6% from last year's average of $17.5
     billion.  With increased lending activity and the March 31,1995 acquisition
     of Beach Bank, loans and leases totaled $9.4 billion at June 30, 1995, and
     averaged $8.8 billion for the first six months.  This compares with $8.6
     billion in total loans on June 30, 1994 and $8.1 billion on average for the
     first six months of last year.  Driven primarily by continued strong
     earnings growth and the acquisition of Beach Bank, common stockholders'
     equity increased 16% and totaled $1.220 billion at June 30, 1995, versus
     $1.055 billion at June 30, 1994.  Total stockholders' equity increased
     commensurately and totaled $1.390 billion at June 30, 1995 compared with
     $1.225 billion at June 30, 1994.  Northern Trust's risk-based capital
     ratios remained strong at 9.2% for tier 1 and 12.3% for total capital at
     June 30, 1995.  These capital ratios are well above the minimum regulatory
     requirements of 4% for tier 1 and 8% for total risk-based capital ratios.
     The leverage ratio (tier 1 capital to second quarter average assets) of
     6.6% at June 30, 1995, also exceeded the regulatory requirement of 3%.

     See Note 7 in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a description
     of pending acquisitions.


     ASSET QUALITY

     Nonperforming assets consist of nonaccrual loans and leases, restructured
     loans, and other real estate owned (OREO).  Nonperforming assets at June
     30, 1995 totaled $34.5 million, compared with $30.0 million at December 31,
     1994 and $39.6 million at June 30, 1994.  Domestic nonaccrual loans and
     leases, consisting primarily of commercial loans, totaled $29.8 million, or
     .33% of total domestic loans and leases at June 30, 1995.  Included in this
     total are commercial real estate loans of $7.3 million.

     The following Nonperforming Asset table presents the outstanding amounts of
     nonaccrual loans and leases, restructured loans and OREO.  Also shown are
     loans that have interest or principal payments that are delinquent 90 days
     or more and are still accruing interest.  The balance in this category at
     any quarter end can fluctuate widely based on the timing of cash
     collections, renegotiations and renewals.

</TABLE>

     PROVISION AND RESERVE FOR CREDIT LOSSES.  The provision for credit losses
     is the charge against current earnings that is determined by management
     through a disciplined credit review process as the amount needed to
     maintain a reserve that is sufficient to absorb credit losses inherent in
     Northern Trust's loan and lease portfolios and other credit undertakings.
     While the largest portion of this reserve is intended to cover loan and
     lease losses, it is considered a general reserve that is available to cover
     all credit-related exposures.

     The 1995 second quarter provision for credit losses was $1.5 million,
     compared with $1.0 million in 1994.  Net charge-offs totaled $1.4 million
     in the second quarter of 1995 versus net charge-offs of $1.7 million last
     year.  The reserve for credit losses was $145.9 million, equal to 1.55% of
     outstanding loans at June 30, 1995.  This compares with $144.8 million or
     1.69% of outstanding loans at December 31, 1994 and $144.9 million or 1.69%
     of outstanding loans at June 30, 1994.  The lower reserve to outstanding
     loans ratio at June 30, 1995 is attributable to loan growth, a significant
     portion of which is in low-risk residential lending.

     The overall credit quality of the domestic portfolio has remained good as
     evidenced by the low level of nonperforming loans and net charge-offs.
     Management's assessment of the current U.S. economy and the financial
     condition of certain clients facing financial difficulties together with
     portfolio growth were primary factors impacting management's decision to
     maintain the reserve for credit losses at $145.9 million at June 30, 1995,
     essentially unchanged from December 31, 1994 and June 30, 1994.

     Northern Trust continues to monitor closely several credits, but the
     overall quality of its loan portfolio remains sound and the reserve for
     credit losses is adequate to cover credit-related uncertainties as they
     exist today.  Established credit review procedures ensure that close
     attention is given to commercial real estate-related loans and other
     commercial loans, as well as other credit exposures that might be adversely
     affected by significant increases in interest rates or unexpected downturns
     in segments of the economies of the United States or other countries.

                          PART II - OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1.  Legal Proceedings - In a consent decree filed and approved June 1,
         1995, the Illinois banking subsidiaries of Northern Trust Corporation
         resolved claims brought by the U.S. Department of Justice after an 18-
         month fair lending investigation.  The Department alleged the banks had
         in 1992 and 1993 not assisted African-Americans and Hispanic mortgage
         loan applicants as much as similarly situated non-minority applicants,
         in violation of Federal fair lending laws.  The agreement reflected in
         the decree commits the banks to continue three initiatives:  an
         intensive second-review process for all mortgage loan applicants
         proposed to be denied; The Northern Trust Company's Community Mortgage
         Team, which focuses on lending in low-to-moderate income neighborhoods;
         and the Fair Lending Policy Committee, which develops and coordinates
         corporate-wide fair lending initiatives.

         The banks also agreed to offer compensation to minority applicants who
         were denied loans in 1992 and 1993 but who, the Department and Northern
         agree, would have received loans or counteroffers under the banks'
         current standards. Payments will range from $1,500 to $40,000, with the
         average expected to be under $10,000. The banks agreed to set aside and
         Northern has expensed, a $700,000 fund for these payments.

         The banks will file reports with the Department of Justice for three
         years under the decree, which expires after five years.  No penalties
         or payments in lieu of penalties are called for by the consent decree.
         The decree reflects the banks' denial that they engaged in any illegal
         discrimination and specifically notes that the Department of Justice
         found no evidence of racial animosity or hostility on the part of the
         banks' personnel.

      AMENDMENT TO CORPORATION BY-LAWS
      --------------------------------
      
            RESOLVED, that Section 3.1 of Article III of the By-laws of the 
      Corporation is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:

            SECTION 1. Number, Tenure and Quorum. The Directors shall each year
      appoint no less than five Directors, one of whom shall be the Chairman of
      the Board and one of whom shall be the President if the President is
      designated the Chief Executive Officer, who shall constitute and be called
      the Executive Committee. Each Director so appointed shall act as a member
      of the Committee until another is appointed and acts in his place. The
      Chairman of the Board shall preside at meetings of the Committee. In the

      thereof present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether
      or not they constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of
      the Board of Directors to act at the meeting in the place of any such

      Chairman of the Board, or upon the request of the Chairman, the President,
      if he is a member of the Committee, or a member elected by the Committee

                entitled to express consent to corporate action in 
                writing without a meeting, when no prior action by

                day on which the first written consent is expressed.

                  (iii) The record date for determining stockholders

              elected, and he may cast all of such votes for a 
              single Director or may distribute them among the 
              number to be voted for, or for any two or more of 
              them as he may see fit.

                SECTION 1.8. Proxies. At all meetings of 
              stockholders, a stockholder entitled to vote may

              authorized attorney-in-fact. Such proxy shall be 
              filed with the Secretary before or at the time of 
              the meeting. No proxy shall be valid after eleven 
              months from the date of its execution, unless

  XV          Conclusive Effect of Findings of Fact and Law; 
              Other Procedures. The termination with respect to

              order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of

              Indemnitee did not meet the standard of conduct 
              required by Article Eighth of the Restated 
              Certificate of Incorporation for indemnification. 
              If the Indemnitee is a person referred to in

              suit or proceeding to which the Indemnitee is or 
              was a party and for which indemnification is 
              requested. The person, persons or entity making the 
              determination of the Indemnitee's entitlement to 
              indemnification shall be entitled to rely upon all 
              such findings of fact and law made known to such

              applicable to judicial or other proceedings.

              the Indemnitee's entitlement to indemnification, 
              including providing to such person, persons or

              documentation or information which is not 
              privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure 
              and which is reasonably available to the Indemnitee 
              and reasonably necessary to such determination. Any 
              costs or expenses (including attorneys' fees and 
              disbursements) reasonably incurred by the 
              Indemnitee in so cooperating with the person, 
              persons or entity making such determination shall 
              be borne by the Corporation irrespective of the 
              determination as to the Indemnitee's entitlement to 
              indemnification.

                SECTION 15.5. Selection of Independent Counsel. If

              not have occurred, Independent Counsel shall be 
              selected by a majority vote of a quorum of the 
              Board of Directors consisting of Disinterested 
              Directors. If a Change of Control shall have 
              occurred, or if a quorum shall decline or fail to 
              select Independent Counsel within 5 business days 
              after having directed, pursuant to paragraph 5(b) 
              of Article Eighth of the Restated Certificate of 
              Incorporation, the determination of the 
              Indemnitee's entitlement to indemnification to be 
              submitted to Independent Counsel, then Independent 
              Counsel shall be selected by the law firm regularly 
              or most frequently engaged by the Corporation 
              during the preceding three years for representation 
              or counseling in connection with general corporate 
              matters. In any event, Independent Counsel shall be 
              selected from among those Chicago, Illinois, or 
              Delaware law firms having a significant and 
              continuous practice in the field of corporate law

              preceding three years represented the Corporation, 
              the Indemnitee or affiliates of either in any 
              significant matter; (ii) has, within the preceding 
              three years, represented any other party in any 
              significant judicial or other proceeding against or 
              in opposition to the Corporation, the Indemnitee or 
              any affiliate of either; (iii) had any involvement 
              of any significant nature in or with respect to the 
              claim for which indemnification is requested; or 
              (iv) has any other material conflict of interest in 
              being engaged as Independent Counsel.

                SECTION 15.6. Time for Determination. The 
              determination of the Indemnitee's entitlement to 
              indemnification shall be made within 60 days after 
              such Indemnitee shall have submitted all such 
              additional information, if any, as shall have been 
              reasonably requested during the 30-day period 
              following the initial submission of the 
              Indemnification Request to the Board of Directors 
              pursuant to Section 13.1 hereof. The foregoing 
              notwithstanding, in the event that the claim with 
              respect to which indemnification is requested is 
              the subject of a judicial, government or other 
              proceeding, the Board of Directors, stockholders or 
              Independent Counsel, as the case may be, may defer 
              their determination until 60 days after any 

                                      19

ARTICLE       such proceeding shall have been finally adjudicated 
  XV          or terminated (by settlement or otherwise) and all 
              periods for appeal, rehearing or reinstitution of 
              such proceeding (whether in a different forum or 
              otherwise) have expired.

                SECTION 15.7. Failure To Make Determination; 
              Remedies For Enforcement. If a determination of the 
              Indemnitee's entitlement to indemnification shall 
              not be made within the period specified in these 
              By-laws, unless due to a material failure of the 
              Indemnitee to comply with his or her obligations 
              under Section 13.4 hereof, then the Indemnitee 
              shall be entitled to indemnification to the extent 
              and in the manner set forth in the Indemnification 
              Request. The Indemnitee may only enforce his or her 
              rights to indemnification, whether pursuant to a 
              determination that the Indemnitee is entitled to 
              indemnification or pursuant to this Section 13.7, 
              in any judicial proceeding brought, at the election 
              of the Indemnitee, in any court having jurisdiction 
              within the State of Delaware, the State of 
              Illinois, or the state in which the Corporation 
              shall then have its principal executive offices. 
              The Indemnitee shall be entitled to all expenses 
              actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in 
              connection with the successful enforcement of the 
              Indemnitee's right to indemnification.

                SECTION 15.8. Appeal of Adverse Determination. In 
              the event that a determination shall be made that 
              the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification, 
              in whole or in part, the Indemnitee may only 
              institute an action in any court having 
              jurisdiction within the State of Delaware, the 
              State of Illinois, or the state in which the 
              Corporation shall have its principal executive 
              offices to establish the Indemnitee's right to 
              indemnification. Any such proceeding shall be 
              conducted in all respects as a de novo 
              determination on the merits and any such prior 
              determination made pursuant to these By-laws that 
              the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification 
              shall not constitute a presumption that the 
              Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification.

                SECTION 15.9. Burden of Proof. In any judicial 
              proceeding regarding the Indemnitee's right or 
              entitlement to indemnification or advancement of 
              expenses, the Corporation shall have the burden of 
              proving that any Indemnitee who is a person 

                                       20

              which the Indemnitee is not a person referred to in 
              paragraphs 1, 2 or 3 of Article Eighth of the

              Indemnitee shall have the burden of proving he or 
              she is entitled to indemnification or the 
              advancement of expenses.

              behalf of such person to repay such amount if it 
              shall ultimately be determined that he or she is 
              not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation 
              as authorized in such Article Eighth. Such expenses 
              as may be incurred by other employees and agents 
              may be so paid on such terms and conditions, if 
              any, as the Board of Directors deems appropriate.

              a person referred to in paragraphs 1, 2 or 3 of 
              Article Eighth of the Restated Certificate of 
              Incorporation is not entitled to be indemnified by 
              the Corporation shall be made in the manner 
              hereinbefore provided for the determination of an 
              Indemnification Request; provided, however, that 
              the Board of Directors may initiate such 
              determination whenever it shall deem the same to be 
              appropriate. In connection with such determination, 
              such person shall be subject to all requirements of 
              these By-laws imposed on an ``Indemnitee'' in 
              respect of a determination made pursuant to Section 
              13.2 hereof.

                SECTION 15.13. Personal Liability of Directors. No 
              director of the Corporation shall be personally 
              liable to any person seeking indemnification or 
              advancement of expenses for any determination, act 
              or omission in connection therewith.

                                                            TO 6/30/95 FORM 10-Q

                          NORTHERN TRUST CORPORATION

                          MANAGEMENT PERFORMANCE PLAN

                                     1995

I.   Purpose of Plan
     ---------------

     The purpose of the Annual Performance Plan (the "Plan") is to promote the
     achievement of superior financial and operating performance of the
     Northern Trust Corporation and its subsidiaries (hereinafter referred to as
     the "Corporation"), and further the objective of delivering unrivaled
     service quality to its clients and partners through the awarding of cash
     incentive payments to selected officers.

II.  Plan Year
     ---------

     The Plan is effective from January 1, 1995 to December 31, 1995.

III. Eligibility and Participation
     -----------------------------

     Eligibility to participate in the Plan is restricted to selected executive
     officers and subject to approval by the Compensation and Benefits Committee
     of the Board of Directors (the "Committee").

IV.  Participant Target Awards
     -------------------------  

     At the beginning of the Plan year, the Committee shall determine individual
     target awards. The target award will be described as a percent of the
     annual base salary earned during the Plan year.

V.   Award Determination
     -------------------

     The Committee establishes a Corporate Earnings Target for the Plan at the
     beginning of the Plan year. The available funding for participant awards
     will be based on (a) the aggregate of participants' target award amounts
     and (b) the Corporation's financial achievement versus the Corporate
     Earnings Target. The amount of the award funding will either increase or
     decrease as calculated by the formula detailed in Attachment I.

VI.  Payment of Awards
     -----------------

     Awards will be paid in cash as soon as practicable following the completion
     of the Plan year. Any award amount that, with all other compensation paid
     or to be paid for that year to the participant, exceeds the level of tax
     deductible compensation to the Corporation, as determined by the Internal
     Revenue Service 162(m), will be deferred and paid in the year following the
     participant's retirement. Deferred award balances will be adjusted with an
     interest factor as shall be determined at the time of the deferral by the
     Committee.
<PAGE>
 
     Notwithstanding the foregoing, awards payable because of a Change in
     Control of the Corporation pursuant to Paragraph VIII shall be paid in cash
     as soon as practicable following such Change in Control.

VII. Administration
     --------------

     The Plan shall be administered by the Management Committee of the
     Corporation (the "Committee"). Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the
     Committee shall be authorized to interpret the Plan, to establish, amend
     and rescind any rules and regulations relating to the Plan, and to make all
     other determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of the
     Plan. The determinations of the Committee in the effective administration
     of the Plan, as described herein, shall be final and conclusive.

     The Board of Directors of the Corporation, by written resolution, may
     amend, suspend, or terminate any or all provisions of the Plan at any time.

VIII. Miscellaneous Provisions
      ------------------------
      
     The following miscellaneous provisions are applicable to the Plan:

     (a) In the event of a participant's death, disability or retirement, awards
         shall be prorated to the date of the event, and paid as described in
         Section VI.

     (b) Termination of employment by a participant during the Plan year, for
         reasons other than death, disability, or retirement shall result in
         immediate exclusion from the Plan unless the Compensation and Benefits
         Committee decides otherwise in its sole discretion.

     (c) Except in the event of the death of a participant, the rights and
         interests of a participant under the Plan shall not be assigned,
         encumbered, or transferred.

     (d) No employee or other person shall have any claim or right to be granted
         an award under the Plan. Neither the Plan, nor any action taken
         thereunder, shall be construed as giving any employee or other person
         any right to be retained in the employ of the Corporation.

     (e) The Corporation shall have the right to deduct from all payments made
         under the Plan any taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to
         such payment.

     (f) All questions pertaining to the validity, construction and
         administration of the Plan and any award hereunder shall be determined
         in conformity with the laws of the State of Illinois.

                                       2
<PAGE>
 
(g)  Each participant shall designate a beneficiary (the "Designated 
     Beneficiary") to receive the award, if any, allocated to a participant, in
     the event of such participant's death. If no Designated Beneficiary
     survives the participant, it shall be the surviving spouse of the
     participant or, if there is no surviving spouse, it shall be the
     participant's estate.

(h)  Notwithstanding any other terms contained herein, in the event of a Change 
     in Control of the Corporation, discretionary awards shall be paid in
     accordance with the last sentence of Section VI of this Plan. For purposes
     of this paragraph, a "Change in Control" of the Corporation shall be deemed
     to occur on the earliest of:

     (i)   The receipt by the Corporation of a Schedule 13D or other statement 
           filed under Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
           amended (the "Exchange Act"), indicating that any entity, person, or
           group has acquired beneficial ownership, as that term is defined in
           Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, or more than 30% of the
           outstanding capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote for the
           election of directors ("voting stock");

     (ii)  The commencement by any entity, person, or group (other than the
           Corporation or a subsidiary of the Corporation) of a tender offer or
           an exchange offer for more than 20% of the outstanding voting stock
           of the Corporation;

     (iii) The effective time of (A) a merger or consolidation of the
           Corporation with one or more other corporations as a result of which
           the holders of the outstanding voting stock of the Corporation
           immediately prior to such merger or consolidation hold less than 80%
           of the voting stock of the surviving or resulting corporation, or (B)
           a transfer of substantially all of the property of the Corporation
           other than to an entity of which the Corporation owns at least 80% of
           the voting stock; or

     (iv)  The election to the Board of Directors of the Corporation, without
           the recommendation or approval of the incumbent Board of Directors of
           the Corporation, or the lesser of (A) three directors or (B)
           directors constituting a majority of the number of directors of the
           Corporation then in office.

    0% - 5%, 2% for each percent between 5.1% - 10%, 3% for each percent 
    between 10.1% - 15%, and 4% for each percent between 15.1% - 20%.
