      INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

ITEM 3.   INCORPORATION OF DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE.

          The following documents which have been filed by
Central Illinois Bancorp, Inc. (the "Registrant") are
incorporated herein by reference:

          (a)  The Registrant's Registration Statement on
               Form 10, filed with the Securities and
               Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on
               April 30, 1998, as amended by Amendment No.  1
               thereto, filed with the Commission on June 25,
               1998 ( as amended, the "Form 10");

          (b)  The Registrant's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
               for the quarterly periods ended  June 30, 1998
               and September 30, 1998; and

               Stock, par value $1.00 per share, contained in

          All documents subsequently filed by the Registrant
pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, prior to the filing of a
post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities
offered hereby have been sold or which deregisters all
securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed
incorporated by reference herein and to be a part hereof from
the date of filing of such documents.

ITEM 4.   DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.

          Not applicable.

ITEM 5.   INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.

          Not applicable.

ITEM 6.   INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS. 

          The Registrant's Amended and Restated Articles of
Incorporation provide that directors of the Registrant shall
not be personally liable for any damages for breach of
fiduciary duty as a director except in circumstances
involving a breach of a director's duty of loyalty to the
Registrant, acts or omissions not in good faith or that
involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the
law, or transactions in which the director derives an
improper personal benefit and in certain other circumstances
<PAGE>
when liability is imposed under the Illinois Business
Corporation Act.

          The Registrant's Amended and Restated Bylaws
provide that the Registrant shall indemnify its officers,
directors, employees and agents against claims or actions and
related expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments and
fines arising as a result of serving at the request of the
Registrant in a similar capacity for another organization, if
the individual acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interest of the Registrant, and as to a criminal action, if
the individual had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct
was unlawful.  This indemnification is available both with
respect to actions by third parties and derivative actions
brought on behalf of the Registrant.  

          The Registrant also maintains insurance coverage
for the benefit of its directors and officers.  This
insurance provides coverage for many types of claims,
including some claims for which indemnification is available
as described above.

ITEM 7.   EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED.

          Not applicable.

ITEM 8.   EXHIBITS.

          The exhibits filed herewith or incorporated by
reference herein are set forth in the Exhibit Index filed as
part of this registration statement on page 6 hereof.
          
ITEM 9.   UNDERTAKINGS.

          The Registrant hereby undertakes:

     (1)  To file, during any period in which offers or sales
are being made, a post-effective amendment to this
registration statement:

     (i)  To include any prospectus required by Section
     10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

     (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
     arising after the effective date of the registration
     statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment
     thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
     represent a fundamental change in the information set
     forth in the registration statement;

     (iii)  To include any material information with respect
     to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in
     the registration statement or any material change to
     such information in the registration statement;

<PAGE>
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii)
do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3,
Form S-8, and the information required to be included in a
post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in
periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section
13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are
incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

     (2)  That, for the purpose of determining any liability
under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective
amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering
of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
initial BONA FIDE offering thereof.

     (3)  To remove from registration by means of a
post-effective amendment any of the securities being
registered which remain unsold at the termination of the 
offering.

          The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that,
for purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's
annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable,
each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report
pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration
statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering
of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
initial BONA FIDE offering thereof.
      
          Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising
under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to
directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a
director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in
the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is
asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the
Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a
court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed
in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.

                     FORM OF 1998 NON-QUALIFIED EMPLOYEE
                           STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

                                   [Date]

        This Central Illinois Bancorp, Inc. Employee Stock Option
   Agreement (the "Agreement") is made and entered into this ___ day of
   _____, 199__ by and between Central Illinois Bancorp, Inc., an
   Illinois corporation, with its principal office located at 2913 W.
   Kirby Avenue, Champaign, Illinois, 61821 (CIBI) and
   ___________________ (Participant).

                                 WITNESSETH:

        WHEREAS, on February 25, 1998 the Board of Directors of CIBI
   adopted the Central Illinois Bancorp, Inc. Non-Qualified Employee
   Stock Option Plan (the "Plan"), a copy of which is attached hereto as
   Exhibit A and made a part hereof by this reference, to permit options
   to purchase shares of CIBI's common stock (the "Stock") to be granted
   to certain key employees of CIBI or any of its subsidiaries;

        WHEREAS, Participant has been granted options pursuant to the
   Plan to become effective on ____________, 199__ (the "Grant Date");

        WHEREAS, on April 30, 1998, the shareholders of CIBI approved the
   Plan; and

        WHEREAS, Participant is a key employee of CIBI and/or its
   subsidiaries, and CIBI desires Participant to remain in such employ by
   providing Participant with a means to acquire or to increase
   Participant's proprietary interest in the success of CIBI and its
   subsidiaries.

        NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual
   covenants, understandings and agreements herein set forth, and for
   other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereby mutually
   covenant and agree as follows:

        1.   Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this
   Agreement, CIBI irrevocably grants to Participant, as a matter of
   separate agreement and not in lieu of salary or any other compensation
   for services, the option to purchase from CIBI all or part of an
   aggregate number of ___ shares of Stock (such shares of stock are
   hereinafter referred to as the "Optioned Shares", and the option to
   purchase the Optioned Shares is referred to as the "Option"). It is
   intended that the Option granted to Participant pursuant to the Plan
   and this Agreement is designated as a non-qualified option and not to
   be treated as an incentive stock option within the meaning of Section
   422A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as currently amended.
<PAGE>
        2.   The price to be paid for the Optioned Shares shall be
   _______________________ ($______) per share, which is not less than
   100% of the fair market value of the Optioned Shares on the Grant
   Date. Such fair market value was determined by the Board of Directors
   of CIBI, utilizing the same formula as has been utilized in prior
   private placement memorandums because there is no market in which the
   Stock, including the Optioned Shares, are actively traded.

        3.   Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this
   Agreement, and except as otherwise provided herein, the Option may be
   exercised by the Participant only while in the employ of CIBI or any
   of its subsidiaries, in whole or in part and from time to time as
   provided in this Agreement, and only during the period beginning on
   the Grant Date and ending on the ___ day of ______, 200__ (the
   "Expiration Date").

        4.   The Option may not be assigned, transferred (except by will
   or the laws of descent and distribution in accordance with the terms
   of this Agreement), pledged or hypothecated in any way (whether by
   operation of law or otherwise), and shall not be subject to execution,
   attachment or similar process.  Any attempted assignment, transfer,
   pledge, hypothecation or other disposition of the Option contrary to
   the provisions of this Agreement, and the levy of any attachment or
   similar process on the Option shall be null and void and without
   effect.

        5.   The Option may be exercised only by written notice delivered
   or mailed by postage paid registered or certified mail, addressed to
   CIBI at the office above mentioned, specifying the number of Optioned
   Shares being purchased. Such notice shall be accompanied by tender of
   payment of the entire option price for the Optioned Shares being
   purchased either in cash, certified check, or bank draft payable to
   the order of CIBI. Upon receipt of payment of the entire purchase
   price for the Optioned Shares purchased, a certificate or certificates
   evidencing such Optioned Shares shall be issued to Participant. The
   Optioned Shares purchased shall be fully paid and nonassessable,
   except as may be imposed by the Illinois Business Corporation Act of
   1983, as amended.

        6.   Participant agrees that upon exercise of the Option and
   purchase of the Optioned Shares, he/she shall not sell or dispose of
   the stock received within two (2) years after the Option is granted,
   and said Optioned Shares will be held for at least one year after
   purchase and transferred to Participant.

        7.   Participant shall remain in the employ of CIBI, or any of
   its subsidiaries, for a period of at least twelve (12) months
   (commencing on the first day of the month of the Grant Date), or until
   Participant's earlier termination or retirement at the pleasure of
   CIBI or of the appropriate subsidiary.

        8.   Participant understands and agrees that by entering into
   this Agreement it does not confer upon him/her any right to continue

                                      2
<PAGE>
   in the employ of CIBI or any such subsidiary and that it does not
   prejudice or interfere in any way with the right of CIBI or any such
   subsidiary to terminate the employment of Participant at any time.

        9.   It is agreed that if Participant ceases to be an employee of
   CIBI or any of its subsidiaries for any reason other than termination
   without cause, disability or death, then the Option shall be null and
   void and terminate. If Participant is terminated for any reason other
   than cause, Participant may exercise within ninety (90) days of such
   termination any unexercised options that could have been exercised
   pursuant to and in accordance with paragraph 11 of this Agreement as
   of the termination date. If Participant ceases to be an employee of
   CIBI or any of its subsidiaries by reason of disability, the Option
   may be exercised to the extent otherwise exercisable at the date of
   employee's disability, in whole or in part, or within twelve (12)
   months after the date of such disability and not thereafter, but in no
   event later than the Expiration Date. Notwithstanding anything to the
   contrary in this Agreement, if Participant dies while in the employ of
   CIBI or any of its subsidiaries, the entire Option to the extent not
   otherwise exercised, may be exercised within twelve (12) months after
   the date of death by the person(s) to whom the Option is transferred
   by laws or applicable laws of descent and distribution, subject to the
   terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan, but in no event
   later than the Expiration Date.

        For purposes of this paragraph, "cause" shall mean: a) the
   willful failure of Participant to substantially perform his/her duties
   with CIBI or any of its subsidiaries (other than any such failure
   resulting from Participant incapacity due to physical or mental
   illness) after a written demand for substantial performance is
   delivered to Participant specifically identifying the manner in which
   Participant has not substantially performed his/her duties; b) any
   willful act of misconduct by Participant which is materially injurious
   to CIBI or its subsidiaries (monetarily or otherwise); c) a criminal
   indictment or conviction of Participant for any felony or act
   involving dishonesty, breach of trust, or a violation of the laws of
   the United States; d) a breach of fiduciary duty involving personal
   profit; e) a willful violation of any law, rule, regulation or final
   cease and desist order; f) incompetence, personal dishonesty or
   material violation of any employment policy of CIBI or any of its
   subsidiaries relating to Participant which would have a material
   adverse effect on CIBI or any of its subsidiaries; or g) suspension,
   removal and/or prohibition (whether temporary or permanent) from
   participating in the affairs of CIBI or any of its subsidiaries.

        10.   Participant understands and agrees that he/she shall not be
   deemed, for any purpose, to be a stockholder of CIBI with respect to
   any shares which may be acquired hereunder except to the extent that
   the Option shall have been exercised with respect thereto and a stock
   certificate(s) issued therefor.

        11.   Except and to the extent as otherwise provided in this
   Agreement, the Option may only be exercised during the life of

                                      3
<PAGE>
   Participant and only by Participant as follows: (A) 20% of the Option
   per annum on each anniversary date or during such one year period
   following each anniversary date of the Grant Date; (B) 100% of the
   Option on the 5 year anniversary date and thereafter until the
   Expiration Date; or (C) accumulation of unexercised options, i.e. 20%
   at or after 1 year anniversary; 40% at or after 2 year anniversary;
   60% at or after 3 year anniversary; 80% at or after 4 year
   anniversary; 100% at or after 5 year anniversary and thereafter until
   the Expiration Date.

        12.  Participant agrees that the existence of the Option herein
   granted shall not affect in any way the right or power of CIBI or its
   stockholders to make or authorize any or all adjustments,
   recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes in CIBI's capital
   structure or its business, or any merger or consolidation of CIBI, or
   any issuance of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference stock
   ahead of or affecting the Stock or the rights thereof, or dissolution
   or liquidation of CIBI, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of
   its assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceeding
   whether of a similar character or otherwise.  Notwithstanding anything
   contained in Paragraph 11 of this Agreement, upon any change in
   control, merger or consolidation whereby the CEO of CIBI is not the
   CEO of the resulting company and the members of the Board of Directors
   of CIBI, or any number thereof prior to such change in control, merger
   or consolidation do not constitute a majority plus one director of the
   total number of directors appointed to the Board of Directors of the
   resulting company; or liquidation, or sale or transfer by CIBI of
   substantially all of its assets, all Options granted shall become
   immediately vested and exercisable whether or not exercisable at such
   time. Except as otherwise provided herein, in the event of a merger,
   consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification of
   stock, stock dividend, stock-split, or other change in the corporate
   structure or capitalization of CIBI affecting CIBI's common stock as
   presently constituted, appropriate adjustments shall be made by the
   Board of Directors in the aggregate number and kind of shares subject
   to the Plan, the maximum number and kind of shares for which options
   may be granted in any calendar year, the maximum number and kind of
   shares for which options may be granted to any employee, and the
   number and kind of shares and the price per share subject to
   outstanding options.

        13.  Participant agrees for himself/ herself, and his/her heirs,
   legatees, and legal representatives that, with respect to all Stock
   acquired pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
   he/she and his/her heirs, legatees and legal representatives will not
   sell or otherwise dispose of such shares, except pursuant to an
   effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as
   amended (the "Act"), if applicable, or except in a transaction which,
   in the opinion of counsel for CIBI, is exempt from registration under
   the Act.

        14.  As a condition of granting the Option, Participant agrees
   for himself/herself and his/her legal representatives, at his/her

                                      4
<PAGE>
   expense, that any dispute or disagreement which may arise under, or as
   a result of or pursuant to the Plan or this Agreement shall be
   determined by a Committee, as appointed by the Board of Directors of
   CIBI, and any interpretation by the Board of Directors of the terms of
   the Plan or this Agreement shall be final, binding, and conclusive.

        IN WITNESS WHEREOF, CIBI has caused this instrument to be
   executed by its duly authorized officers and Participant has hereunto
   affixed his/her hand on the day and year first above-written.

                           STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

                                   [Date]

        This Central Illinois Bancorp, Inc. Non-Employee Director Stock
   Option Agreement (the "Agreement") is made and entered into this ___
   day of _____, 199__ by and between Central Illinois Bancorp, Inc., an
   Illinois corporation, with its principal office located at 2913 W.
   Kirby Avenue, Champaign, Illinois, 61821 (CIBI) and _______________
   (Participant).

                                 WITNESSETH:

        WHEREAS, on March 26, 1998 the Board of Directors of CIBI adopted
   the Central Illinois Bancorp, Inc. Non-Qualified Director Stock Option
   Plan (the "Plan"), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A and
   made a part hereof by this reference, to permit options to purchase
   shares of CIBI's common stock (the "Stock") to be granted to non-
   employee directors of CIBI or any of its subsidiaries effective
   February 25, 1998 (the "Grant Date");

        WHEREAS, on April 30, 1998, the shareholders of CIBI adopted the
   Plan; and

        WHEREAS, Participant is a director of CIBI or one or more of its
   subsidiaries, and CIBI desires Participant to remain in such
   directorship by providing Participant with a means to acquire or to
   increase Participant's proprietary interest in the success of CIBI and
   its subsidiaries.

        NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual
   covenants, understandings and agreements herein set forth, and for
   other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereby mutually
   covenant and agree as follows:

        1.   Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this
   Agreement, CIBI irrevocably grants to Participant, as a matter of
   separate agreement and not in lieu of salary or any other compensation
   for services, the option to purchase from CIBI all or part of an
   aggregate number of ___ shares of Stock (such shares of stock are
   hereinafter referred to as the "Optioned Shares", and the option to
   purchase the Optioned Shares is referred to as the "Option"). It is
   intended that the Option granted to Participant pursuant to the Plan
   and this Agreement is designated as a non-qualified option and not to
   be treated as an incentive stock option within the meaning of Section
   422A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as currently amended.

        2.   The price to be paid for the Optioned Shares shall be
   _______________ ($______) per share, which is not less than 100% of
<PAGE>
   the fair market value of the Optioned Shares on the Grant Date. Such
   fair market value was determined by the Board of Directors of CIBI,
   utilizing the same formula as has been utilized in prior private
   placement memorandums because there is no market in which the Stock,
   including the Optioned Shares, are actively traded.

        3.   Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this
   Agreement, and except as otherwise provided herein, the Option may be
   exercised by the Participant only while in the employ of CIBI or any
   of its subsidiaries, in whole or in part and from time to time as
   provided in this Agreement, and only during the period beginning on
   the Grant Date and ending on the ___ day of ______, 200__ (the
   "Expiration Date").

        4.   The Option may not be assigned, transferred (except by will
   or the laws of descent and distribution in accordance with the terms
   of this Agreement), pledged or hypothecated in any way (whether by
   operation of law or otherwise), and shall not be subject to execution,
   attachment or similar process.  Any attempted assignment, transfer,
   pledge, hypothecation or other disposition of the Option contrary to
   the provisions of this Agreement, and the levy of any attachment or
   similar process on the Option shall be null and void and without
   effect.

        5.   The Option may be exercised only by written notice delivered
   or mailed by postage paid registered or certified mail, addressed to
   CIBI at the office above mentioned, specifying the number of Optioned
   Shares being purchased. Such notice shall be accompanied by tender of
   payment of the entire option price for the Optioned Shares being
   purchased either in cash, certified check, or bank draft payable to
   the order of CIBI. Upon receipt of payment of the entire purchase
   price for the Optioned Shares purchased, a certificate or certificates
   evidencing such Optioned Shares shall be issued to Participant. The
   Optioned Shares purchased shall be fully paid and nonassessable,
   except as may be imposed by the Illinois Business Corporation Act of
   1983, as amended.

        6.   Participant agrees that upon exercise of the Option and
   purchase of the Optioned Shares, he/she shall not sell or dispose of
   the stock received within two (2) years after the Option is granted,
   and said Optioned Shares will be held for at least one year after
   purchase and transferred to Participant.

        7.   Participant shall remain a director of CIBI or any of its
   subsidiaries for a continuous period of at least twelve (12) months
   (commencing on the first day of the month of the Grant Date), or until
   Participant's earlier termination or retirement at the pleasure of
   CIBI or of the appropriate subsidiary.

        8.   Participant understands and agrees that by entering into
   this Agreement it does not confer upon him/her any right to continue
   in the directorship of CIBI, or any such subsidiary, and that it does
   not prejudice or interfere in any way with the right of CIBI or any

                                      2
<PAGE>
   such subsidiary to terminate the directorship of the Participant at
   any time.

        9.   It is agreed that if Participant ceases to be a director of
   CIBI or any subsidiary for any reason other than termination without
   cause, disability or death, then the Option shall be null and void and
   terminate. If Participant is terminated for any reason other than
   cause, Participant may exercise within ninety (90) days of such
   termination any unexercised options that could have been exercised
   pursuant to and in accordance with paragraph 11 of this Agreement as
   of the termination date. If Participant ceases to be a director of
   CIBI or any subsidiary by reason of disability, the Option may be
   exercised to the extent otherwise exercisable at the date of
   Participant's disability, in whole or in part, or within twelve (12)
   months after the date of such disability and not thereafter, but in no
   event later than the Expiration Date. Notwithstanding anything to the
   contrary in this Agreement, if Participant dies while a director of
   CIBI or any subsidiary, the entire Option to the extent not otherwise
   exercised, may be exercised within twelve (12) months after the date
   of death by the person(s) to whom the Option is transferred by laws or
   applicable laws of descent and distribution, subject to the terms and
   conditions of this Agreement and the Plan, but in no event later than
   the Expiration Date.

        For purposes of this paragraph, "cause" shall mean: a) the
   willful failure of Participant to substantially perform his/her duties
   with CIBI or any of its subsidiaries (other than any such failure
   resulting from Participant incapacity due to physical or mental
   illness) after a written demand for substantial performance is
   delivered to Participant specifically identifying the manner in which
   Participant has not substantially performed his/her duties; b) any
   willful act of misconduct by Participant which is materially injurious
   to CIBI or its subsidiaries (monetarily or otherwise); c) a criminal
   indictment or conviction of Participant for any felony or act
   involving dishonesty, breach of trust, or a violation of the laws of
   the United States; d) a breach of fiduciary duty involving personal
   profit; e) a willful violation of any law, rule, regulation or final
   cease and desist order; f) incompetence, personal dishonesty or
   material violation of any employment policy of CIBI or any of its
   subsidiaries relating to Participant which would have a material
   adverse effect on CIBI or any of its subsidiaries; or g) suspension,
   removal and/or prohibition (whether temporary or permanent) from
   participating in the affairs of CIBI or any of its subsidiaries.

        10.   Participant understands and agrees that he/she shall not be
   deemed, for any purpose, to be a stockholder of CIBI with respect to
   any shares which may be acquired hereunder except to the extent that
   the Option shall have been exercised with respect thereto and a stock
   certificate(s) issued therefor.

        11.   Except and to the extent as otherwise provided in this
   Agreement, the Option may only be exercised during the life of
   Participant and only by Participant as follows: (A) 20% of the Option

                                      3
<PAGE>
   per annum on each anniversary date or during such one year period
   following each anniversary date of the Grant Date; (B) 100% of the
   Option on the 5 year anniversary date and thereafter until the
   Expiration Date; or (C) accumulation of unexercised options, i.e. 20%
   at or after 1 year anniversary; 40% at or after 2 year anniversary;
   60% at or after 3 year anniversary; 80% at or after 4 year
   anniversary; 100% at or after 5 year anniversary and thereafter until
   the Expiration Date.

        12.  Participant agrees that the existence of the Option herein
   granted shall not affect in any way the right or power of CIBI or its
   stockholders to make or authorize any or all adjustments,
   recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes in CIBI's capital
   structure or its business, or any merger or consolidation of CIBI, or
   any issuance of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference stock
   ahead of or affecting the stock or the rights thereof, or dissolution
   or liquidation of CIBI, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of
   its assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceeding
   whether of a similar character or otherwise.  Notwithstanding anything
   contained in Paragraph 11 of this Agreement, upon any change in
   control, merger or consolidation whereby the CEO of CIBI is not the
   CEO of the resulting company and the members of the Board of Directors
   of CIBI, or any number thereof prior to such change in control, merger
   or consolidation do not constitute a majority plus one director of the
   total number of directors appointed to the Board of Directors of the
   resulting company; or liquidation, or sale or transfer by CIBI of
   substantially all of its assets, all Options granted shall become
   immediately vested and exercisable whether or not exercisable at such
   time. Except as otherwise provided herein, in the event of a merger,
   consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification of
   stock, stock dividend, stock-split, or other change in the corporate
   structure or capitalization of CIBI affecting CIBI's common stock as
   presently constituted, appropriate adjustments shall be made by the
   Board of Directors in the aggregate number and kind of shares subject
   to the Plan, the maximum number and kind of shares for which options
   may be granted in any calendar year, the maximum number and kind of
   shares for which options may be granted to any Participant, and the
   number and kind of shares and the price per share subject to
   outstanding options.

        13.  Participant agrees for himself/ herself, and his/her heirs,
   legatees, and legal representatives that, with respect to all Stock
   acquired pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
   he/she and his/her heirs, legatees and legal representatives will not
   sell or otherwise dispose of such shares, except pursuant to an
   effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as
   amended (the "Act"), if applicable, or except in a transaction which,
   in the opinion of counsel for CIBI, is exempt from registration under
   the Act.

        14.  As a condition of granting the Option, Participant agrees
   for himself/herself and his/her legal representatives, at his/her

               FORM OF 1998 NON-QUALIFIED SUBSIDIARY DIRECTOR
                           STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

                                   [Date]

        This Central Illinois Bancorp, Inc. Non-Employee Director Stock
   Option Agreement (the "Agreement") is made and entered into this ___
   day of _____, 199__ by and between Central Illinois Bancorp, Inc., an
   Illinois corporation, with its principal office located at 2913 W.
   Kirby Avenue, Champaign, Illinois, 61821 (CIBI) and _______________
   (Participant).

                                 WITNESSETH:

        WHEREAS, on March 26, 1998 the Board of Directors of CIBI adopted
   the Central Illinois Bancorp, Inc. Non-Qualified Director Stock Option
   Plan (the "Plan"), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A and
   made a part hereof by this reference, to permit options to purchase
   shares of CIBI's common stock (the "Stock") to be granted to non-
   employee directors of CIBI or any of its subsidiaries effective
   February 25, 1998 (the "Grant Date");

        WHEREAS, on April 30, 1998, the shareholders of CIBI adopted the
   Plan; and

        WHEREAS, Participant is a director of CIBI or one or more of its
   subsidiaries, and CIBI desires Participant to remain in such
   directorship by providing Participant with a means to acquire or to
   increase Participant's proprietary interest in the success of CIBI and
   its subsidiaries.

        NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual
   covenants, understandings and agreements herein set forth, and for
   other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereby mutually
   covenant and agree as follows:

        1.   Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this
   Agreement, CIBI irrevocably grants to Participant, as a matter of
   separate agreement and not in lieu of salary or any other compensation
   for services, the option to purchase from CIBI all or part of an
   aggregate number of ___ shares of Stock (such shares of stock are
   hereinafter referred to as the "Optioned Shares", and the option to
   purchase the Optioned Shares is referred to as the "Option"). It is
   intended that the Option granted to Participant pursuant to the Plan
   and this Agreement is designated as a non-qualified option and not to
   be treated as an incentive stock option within the meaning of Section
   422A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as currently amended.

        2.   The price to be paid for the Optioned Shares shall be
   _______________ ($______) per share, which is not less than 100% of
   the fair market value of the Optioned Shares on the Grant Date. Such
   fair market value was determined by the Board of Directors of CIBI,
<PAGE>
   utilizing the same formula as has been utilized in prior private
   placement memorandums because there is no market in which the Stock,
   including the Optioned Shares, are actively traded.

        3.   Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this
   Agreement, and except as otherwise provided herein, the Option may be
   exercised by the Participant only while in the employ of CIBI or any
   of its subsidiaries, in whole or in part and from time to time as
   provided in this Agreement, and only during the period beginning on
   the Grant Date and ending on the ___ day of ______, 200__ (the
   "Expiration Date").

        4.   The Option may not be assigned, transferred (except by will
   or the laws of descent and distribution in accordance with the terms
   of this Agreement), pledged or hypothecated in any way (whether by
   operation of law or otherwise), and shall not be subject to execution,
   attachment or similar process.  Any attempted assignment, transfer,
   pledge, hypothecation or other disposition of the Option contrary to
   the provisions of this Agreement, and the levy of any attachment or
   similar process on the Option shall be null and void and without
   effect.

        5.   The Option may be exercised only by written notice delivered
   or mailed by postage paid registered or certified mail, addressed to
   CIBI at the office above mentioned, specifying the number of Optioned
   Shares being purchased. Such notice shall be accompanied by tender of
   payment of the entire option price for the Optioned Shares being
   purchased either in cash, certified check, or bank draft payable to
   the order of CIBI. Upon receipt of payment of the entire purchase
   price for the Optioned Shares purchased, a certificate or certificates
   evidencing such Optioned Shares shall be issued to Participant. The
   Optioned Shares purchased shall be fully paid and nonassessable,
   except as may be imposed by the Illinois Business Corporation Act of
   1983, as amended.

        6.   Participant agrees that upon exercise of the Option and
   purchase of the Optioned Shares, he/she shall not sell or dispose of
   the stock received within two (2) years after the Option is granted,
   and said Optioned Shares will be held for at least one year after
   purchase and transferred to Participant.

        7.   Participant shall remain a director of CIBI or any of its
   subsidiaries for a continuous period of at least twelve (12) months
   (commencing on the first day of the month of the Grant Date), or until
   Participant's earlier termination or retirement at the pleasure of
   CIBI or of the appropriate subsidiary.

        8.   Participant understands and agrees that by entering into
   this Agreement it does not confer upon him/her any right to continue
   in the directorship of CIBI, or any such subsidiary, and that it does
   not prejudice or interfere in any way with the right of CIBI or any
   such subsidiary to terminate the directorship of the Participant at
   any time.

                                      2
<PAGE>
        9.   It is agreed that if Participant ceases to be a director of
   CIBI or any subsidiary for any reason other than termination without
   cause, disability or death, then the Option shall be null and void and
   terminate. If Participant is terminated for any reason other than
   cause, Participant may exercise within ninety (90) days of such
   termination any unexercised options that could have been exercised
   pursuant to and in accordance with paragraph 11 of this Agreement as
   of the termination date. If Participant ceases to be a director of
   CIBI or any subsidiary by reason of disability, the Option may be
   exercised to the extent otherwise exercisable at the date of
   Participant's disability, in whole or in part, or within twelve (12)
   months after the date of such disability and not thereafter, but in no
   event later than the Expiration Date. Notwithstanding anything to the
   contrary in this Agreement, if Participant dies while a director of
   CIBI or any subsidiary, the entire Option to the extent not otherwise
   exercised, may be exercised within twelve (12) months after the date
   of death by the person(s) to whom the Option is transferred by laws or
   applicable laws of descent and distribution, subject to the terms and
   conditions of this Agreement and the Plan, but in no event later than
   the Expiration Date.

        For purposes of this paragraph, "cause" shall mean: a) the
   willful failure of Participant to substantially perform his/her duties
   with CIBI or any of its subsidiaries (other than any such failure
   resulting from Participant incapacity due to physical or mental
   illness) after a written demand for substantial performance is
   delivered to Participant specifically identifying the manner in which
   Participant has not substantially performed his/her duties; b) any
   willful act of misconduct by Participant which is materially injurious
   to CIBI or its subsidiaries (monetarily or otherwise); c) a criminal
   indictment or conviction of Participant for any felony or act
   involving dishonesty, breach of trust, or a violation of the laws of
   the United States; d) a breach of fiduciary duty involving personal
   profit; e) a willful violation of any law, rule, regulation or final
   cease and desist order; f) incompetence, personal dishonesty or
   material violation of any employment policy of CIBI or any of its
   subsidiaries relating to Participant which would have a material
   adverse effect on CIBI or any of its subsidiaries; or g) suspension,
   removal and/or prohibition (whether temporary or permanent) from
   participating in the affairs of CIBI or any of its subsidiaries.

        10.   Participant understands and agrees that he/she shall not be
   deemed, for any purpose, to be a stockholder of CIBI with respect to
   any shares which may be acquired hereunder except to the extent that
   the Option shall have been exercised with respect thereto and a stock
   certificate(s) issued therefor.

        11.   Except and to the extent as otherwise provided in this
   Agreement, the Option may only be exercised during the life of
   Participant and only by Participant as follows: (A) 20% of the Option
   per annum on each anniversary date or during such one year period
   following each anniversary date of the Grant Date; (B) 100% of the
   Option on the 5 year anniversary date and thereafter until the

                                      3
<PAGE>
   Expiration Date; or (C) accumulation of unexercised options, i.e. 20%
   at or after 1 year anniversary; 40% at or after 2 year anniversary;
   60% at or after 3 year anniversary; 80% at or after 4 year
   anniversary; 100% at or after 5 year anniversary and thereafter until
   the Expiration Date.

        12.  Participant agrees that the existence of the Option herein
   granted shall not affect in any way the right or power of CIBI or its
   stockholders to make or authorize any or all adjustments,
   recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes in CIBI's capital
   structure or its business, or any merger or consolidation of CIBI, or
   any issuance of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference stock
   ahead of or affecting the stock or the rights thereof, or dissolution
   or liquidation of CIBI, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of
   its assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceeding
   whether of a similar character or otherwise.  Notwithstanding anything
   contained in Paragraph 11 of this Agreement, upon any change in
   control, merger or consolidation whereby the CEO of CIBI is not the
   CEO of the resulting company and the members of the Board of Directors
   of CIBI, or any number thereof prior to such change in control, merger
   or consolidation do not constitute a majority plus one director of the
   total number of directors appointed to the Board of Directors of the
   resulting company; or liquidation, or sale or transfer by CIBI of
   substantially all of its assets, all Options granted shall become
   immediately vested and exercisable whether or not exercisable at such
   time. Except as otherwise provided herein, in the event of a merger,
   consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification of
   stock, stock dividend, stock-split, or other change in the corporate
   structure or capitalization of CIBI affecting CIBI's common stock as
   presently constituted, appropriate adjustments shall be made by the
   Board of Directors in the aggregate number and kind of shares subject
   to the Plan, the maximum number and kind of shares for which options
   may be granted in any calendar year, the maximum number and kind of
   shares for which options may be granted to any Participant, and the
   number and kind of shares and the price per share subject to
   outstanding options.

        13.  Participant agrees for himself/herself, and his/her heirs,
   legatees, and legal representatives that, with respect to all Stock
   acquired pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
   he/she and his/her heirs, legatees and legal representatives will not
   sell or otherwise dispose of such shares, except pursuant to an
   effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as
   amended (the "Act"), if applicable, or except in a transaction which,
   in the opinion of counsel for CIBI, is exempt from registration under
   the Act.

        14.  As a condition of granting the Option, Participant agrees
   for himself/herself and his/her legal representatives, at his/her
   expense, that any dispute or disagreement which may arise under, or as
   a result of or pursuant to the Plan or this Agreement shall be
   determined by a Committee, as appointed by the Board of Directors of


                                      4
<PAGE>
   CIBI, and any interpretation by the Board of Directors of the terms of
   the Plan or this Agreement shall be final, binding, and conclusive.

        IN WITNESS WHEREOF, CIBI has caused this instrument to be
   executed by its duly authorized officers and Participant has hereunto
   affixed his/her hand on the day and year first above-written.
