Cash Incentives.
     During 2007, 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 2007 is shown in the Summary Compensation Table.
Equity-Based Incentives.
     During 2007, 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 2006; 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 2007 are shown in the Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table in the 2008 proxy statement.
2008 Executive Compensation Decisions.
     The Compensation Committee continuously evaluates the design of our executive compensation program and approved some design changes intended to reflect our revised strategic plan for 2008. For annual cash incentives, the Compensation Committee expects to set goals for performance measures intended to achieve median performance of the peer group and reduce payout opportunities at the “target” and “maximum” levels.
     The value of the award opportunities for equity-based incentives will be increased so that more of the executive’s total compensation is tied to the performance of our common stock and aligned with the interests of shareholders. The equity awards will be allocated between SARs (50%) and restricted stock (50%) using their grant date fair value, with each award vesting equally over three years.
     In addition, the Compensation Committee is considering making a “stretch” equity award tied to improvement in total shareholder return/stock performance over a multi-year period.
Other Compensation of Named Executive Officers
     The Summary Compensation Table in the Company’s 2008 proxy statement identified the aggregate perquisites and other personal benefits received by each of the Named Executive Officers which equal or exceed $10,000. The primary perquisites for Messrs. Vea, Brown and Zorn include an automobile allowance and social club membership dues.
     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.

Stevens, Executive Vice President of the Company and President and CEO – Chicago Region of Integra Bank entered into an Employment Agreement with an effective date of April 9, 2007, the date the Prairie Financial Corporation acquisition was completed.
