  1. On October 27, 2010, the reporting person settled a prepaid variable contract originally entered into on October 27, 2009. At the initiation of the contract, the bank paid $357,820.25 to the reporting person.
  2. The forward sale contract obligated the reporting person to deliver to the bank at maturity up to 50,000 shares of the Issuer's common stock depending on market prices at maturity. If the market price per share at maturity was equal to or less than the floor price of $8.4193 per share, the reporting person would deliver 50,000 shares to the bank. If the market price per share at maturity was greater than the floor price, the reporting person would deliver a fewer number of shares but not less than 35,700 shares. The closing market price per share on October 27, 2010 was $6.31. Accordingly, the reporting person transferred to the bank 50,000 shares of the Issuer's common stock.
  3. Sales reported on this form were transacted pursuant to a 10b5-1 trading plan.
  4. The weighted average sales price reported as stock sales were aggregated for reporting purposes. The per share transaction price ranged from $6.315 to $6.2606. The reporting person will provide, upon request from an appropriate party, the per share sales volumes and prices.
