Cash Incentives
During 2008, the Named Executive Officers participated in the 2007 Annual Cash Incentive Plan, or the 2007 Cash Plan. The 2007 Cash Plan created opportunities for additional cash compensation based on the achievement of short-term (one year) performance goals. The amount of the opportunities was set at “minimum”, “target”, and “maximum” levels. The amount of the cash incentives paid to those officers for 2008 is shown in the Summary Compensation Table.

Equity-Based Incentives
During 2008, the Named Executive Officers participated in the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan, or the 2007 Equity Plan. The 2007 Equity Plan created opportunities for additional compensation that is tied to the performance of our stock and aligned with the interests of our shareholders. In making its award decisions, the Compensation Committee gave consideration to (1) the executive’s total compensation both for 2006 and the amount of the award necessary to place the executive’s total compensation at the 50th percentile of the peer group; (2) the committee’s qualitative assessment of our overall performance in 2007; and (3) with respect to the named executives other than the Chief Executive Officer, the recommendation of the Chief Executive Officer. In addition, the Compensation Committee considered comparative total compensation information for the peer group, tally sheets for the preceding two years, our overall financial performance during the period that an executive officer has held his position, the difficulty of replacing an executive officer with another of comparable experience and skill, and how compensation decisions could assist us in achieving the goals set out in our strategic plan.
The stock option and restricted stock awards granted to the named executive officers for 2008 are shown in the Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table in the 2009 proxy statement.
Other Compensation
The Company also provides matching contributions to the accounts of the Named Executive Officers under its Employees 401(k) Plan and pays for term life insurance for each of the Named Executive Officers.
2009 Executive Compensation Decisions
The committee continuously evaluates the design of the Company’s executive compensation program. In February 2009, it approved some design changes intended to reflect the revised strategic plan for 2009. However, the Company’s participation in the Capital Purchase Program which began on February 27, 2009, means that many aspects of the executive compensation program will need to be revised. The impact that the Capital Purchase Program and recent federal legislation will have on the Company’s executive compensation program will be discussed in the Company’s proxy statement for the 2009 annual meeting of shareholders.
