EXHIBIT A
TO RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT DATED AS OF AUGUST 20, 2010
All of the terms and conditions of the Restricted Stock Agreement dated , 2010 to which this Exhibit is attached are incorporated herein by reference.

Calculation of Relative Total Shareholder Return
Relative Total Shareholder Return means the Corporations TSR relative to the TSR of the NASDAQ Community Bank Index at the end of the Restricted Period based on the following formula:
Vesting Amount = 100% - (NASDAQ Community Bank Index TSR- Corporations TSR) x 3.33%
Provided however, if the Corporations TSR is negative, no Restricted Stock will vest. If the Corporations TSR is greater than the NASDAQ Community Bank Index TSR and greater than zero, one hundred percent of the Restricted Stock will vest. For every 100 basis points (1%) that the Corporations TSR is behind the NASDAQ Community Bank Index, the Vesting Amount is decreased by 3.33%.
TSR means, for the Corporation, the Corporations total shareholder return, which will be calculated by dividing (i) the Closing Average Share Value by (ii) the Opening Average Share Value.
Example: An illustrative example of the TSR calculation for a hypothetical company and performance period is attached at the end of this Exhibit.
Opening Average Share Value means the average, over the trading days in the Opening Average Period, of the closing price of a companys stock multiplied by the Accumulated Shares for each trading day during the Opening Average Period.
Opening Average Period means the 20 trading days preceding August 20, 2010.
Accumulated Shares means, for a giving trading day, the sum of (i) and (1) share and (ii) a cumulative number of shares of the companys common stock purchased with the dividends declared on a companys common stock, assuming same day reinvestment of the dividends in the common stock of a company at the closing price on the ex-dividend date, for ex-dividend dates between the start of the Opening Average Period and the trading day.
Closing Average Share Value means the average, over the trading days in the Closing Average Period, of the closing price of the companys stock multiplied by the Accumulated Shares for each trading day during the Closing Average Period.
Closing Average Period means (i) in the absence of a Change in Control (as defined in the 2010 Plan), the 20 trading days preceding August 20, 2013; or (ii) in the case of a Change of Control, the trading days during the period beginning thirty (30) calendar days prior to the Change in Control; and ending on the Accelerated End Date.
Accelerated End Date means the date five (5) calendar days (or such shorter period as may be established by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion) prior to the Change in Control.
