Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy

Exhibit 10.14

Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy

It is the Policy of First Security Group, Inc. and its Subsidiary(ies) (“Company”) to pay its Non-employee Directors for their service to the Company. Inside Directors of the Company are not compensated for participating on any of the Company’s boards because their current compensation level covers all expected duties including those related to the Board of Directors.

This policy, and the award levels contained herein, will be reviewed no less frequently than every other year to ensure competitiveness with typical market practices for similar organizations.
