Description of 2009 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.
 
Additional information about the 2009 bonus compensation is incorporated herein
by reference from the Company's definitive proxy statement for its Annual
Meeting of Stockholders to be held in October 2009, except for information
contained under the heading "Report of the Audit Committee," a copy of which
