Annual Cash Bonuses
2.1 Bonus Award.
(a) If the performance objectives defined by the Committee each year are accomplished, each Participant shall receive an Award under the Plan equal to a designated percentage of the Participant’s Base Salary, as determined each Plan Year by the Committee in its sole discretion.
(b) Payment of the Award is contingent on the Participant’s performance level being “at expectation” in order to receive the payment. The Committee shall have the final authority to determine whether any Participant has satisfied the performance level requirement.
(c) A Participant who is not employed as of the payout date for any Awards made for any Plan Year generally will not be paid the Award for that Plan Year, unless the Committee determines that such Participant should be paid all or a pro-rata portion of the Award for that Plan Year. In the event a Participant dies while eligible for an Award under this Plan, the Committee shall determine whether all or any part of the Award earned for that Plan Year will be paid to the Participant’s estate.
(d) If an Eligible Employee becomes a Participant at any time after the beginning of a Plan Year, the Award payable to that Participant shall be pro-rated, such that, the percentage of Base Salary that constitutes the Award for that Plan Year shall be multiplied by a fraction, where the numerator is the number of full calendar months that the individual was a Participant in the Plan and the denominator is 12.
2.2 Performance Objectives. Payment of Awards in any Plan Year is contingent upon the performance objectives specified by the Committee for any Participant being met by that Participant. The specific goals are determined annually by the Committee and are subject to change by the Committee, but generally include performance targets such as net income, mortgage originations, NIM, transaction account deposits/percentage of total deposits; asset quality, net NIE, investments percentage of total assets, controllable branch expenses, checking account growth, and other discretionary or qualitative measures. Unless the Committee determines otherwise, if the performance objectives for a Plan Year are not satisfied, no Award shall be paid under the Plan for that Plan Year.
2.3 Annual Award and Accrual of Costs. The Committee will establish a targeted Award level for each Eligible Employee at the beginning of each Plan Year based on the stated performance objectives for that year. The Company will accrue the cost of this Award during the course of the year and adjust the accrual rate based on periodic review of the Company’s likelihood of achieving the performance objectives.
2.4 Time of Payout. No later than two and one half (2 ½) months after the close of the Plan Year, the Award will be paid to the Participant in a cash lump sum. Awards under the Plan are intended to be exempt from Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code under the “short term deferral rule” set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(b)(4).

3.1 Right to Amend or Terminate. The Committee may amend or terminate this Plan at any time without the consent of any Participants.
