The Annual Incentive Plan fund for each group shall be generated by a percent of the aggregate salaries for the individuals in each group. The target award fund shall be computed as shown in Table I below:

III	$____________	X 8.5% =	$____________

The actual amount of the Senior Management Incentive Compensation Plan award fund shall be calculated according to a schedule comparing Earnings Per Share and ROAA for the Award Period to a pre-determined performance standard. When performance is at or above the performance standard, the actual award fund is adjusted upward from the target award fund.

There shall be a minimum acceptable performance beneath which no incentive awards are paid (sometimes referred to as the “threshold”) and a maximum above which there is no additional award paid to avoid excessive payout in the event of windfall profits. Said minimum and maximum shall be reviewed annually and amended when necessary in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee.

A Participant who is rated a "4" or "5" on the most recent Performance Appraisal and Development Plan shall not be eligible to receive an award under the Plan.
