Description of 2011 Bonus Arrangement
 
The Company has no formal, written incentive bonus plan for executive management; however, the compensation committee does have written guidelines regarding bonus payments. The guidelines indicate that the amount of bonus available for award to executive management should be predicated on the Company's performance in meeting various goals, including return on equity, growth in earnings per share, efficiency and control of non-interest expense, and diversification of revenues. Officers outside of executive management (including market area presidents) generally participate in a bonus program that conditions awards upon reaching employee and branch goals regarding loan and deposit growth, and overall company profitability.
