Incentive Compensation Plan
     The Bancorp’s Compensation and Benefits Committee has established an incentive compensation system designed to offer positive salary rewards for peak performance to all employees. The incentive compensation is geared towards rewarding performance that results in increased profitability of the Bancorp. In addition, incentive compensation is awarded for consistent performance tied to corporate goals rather than short-swing profits. The incentive compensation is discretionary and approved by the Board on an annual basis, as strategic goals are achieved. The incentive targets are set by the Board at the beginning of the fiscal year, but the Board retains the prerogative to review the incentive outlook at the end of the fiscal year.
     The incentive compensation is paid from a pool of funds created each year based on the Bancorp’s return on equity, return on assets, and increase in earnings per basic share. Each of the three measures is tied to a factor, which is then multiplied by the Bancorp’s annual net income after incentive compensation expense to determine the incentive compensation pool. The factors are set forth in the attached table. The Board also has the discretion to increase the size of the incentive compensation pool to reward outstanding performance consistent with long and short-range goals. No Board discretionary funds were included in the 2006 incentive compensation pool. The incentive

compensation pool is generally allocated to the Bancorp’s employees in the following manner: 30% to the Chief Executive officer, 52% to the Chief Administrative Officer and Vice Presidents and 18% to other employees. The Chief Executive Officer, with Board approval, may reallocate a portion of his incentive compensation pool to the other compensation pools.
     The allocated incentive compensation pools can be utilized to supplement the cash remuneration of the Bancorp’s management according to the following guidelines: Vice Presidents up to 10% of salary; Senior Vice Presidents up to 20% of salary; President and Executive Vice President up to 35% of salary; and Chief Executive Officer up to 50% of salary. The incentive compensation for Vice Presidents, Senior Vice Presidents, Executive Vice President and President is awarded based on a performance review by the Chief Executive Officer, which is reviewed and approved by the Bancorp’s Compensation Committee and Board. The performance review incorporates the following criteria: results achieved, goal attainment, and core competencies for leadership, management, communication, initiative and time management, commitment to stock ownership, community leadership and professional development. The Compensation and Benefits Committee and Board conduct the Chief Executive Officer’s performance review following the same criteria and determine his incentive compensation.
