ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Introduction

This Compensation Discussion and Analysis describes the Company’s compensation philosophy and policies for 2011 as applicable to the executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table. This section explains the structure and rationale associated with each material element of the named executive officers’ compensation, and it provides context for the more detailed disclosure tables and specific compensation amounts provided in the following section. It is important to note that the Company and the Bank share an executive management team, and except for awards made pursuant to the Company’s 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2006 EIP”), the members of the executive management team are compensated by the Bank rather than the Company, and the Company reimburses the Bank for their services to the Company through intercompany expense allocations. The compensation packages of the named executive officers are determined and approved by the Human Resources Committee based upon each officer’s performance and roles for both the Company and the Bank.

Role of the Human Resources Committee of the Board of Directors

Pursuant to its Charter, the Human Resources Committee is directly responsible for the execution of the Board of Directors’ responsibilities with respect to compensation, performance evaluation and succession planning for the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and other named executive officers. The Human Resources Committee is also responsible for the submission of an annual report on executive compensation to the Board of Directors for inclusion in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. During 2011 the Human Resources Committee was comprised of Messrs. Schudt (Chairman), Hausmann and Wherfel, each of whom is expected to serve on the committee through the conclusion of the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders on June 26, 2012. Each of the members of the Human Resources Committee is considered “independent” according to the listing standards of the NASDAQ Stock Market, an “outside” director pursuant to Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, and a “non-employee” director under Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

The overall objective of the Company’s compensation program is to align executive officer compensation with the success of meeting strategic, financial and management objectives and goals. The programs are designed to create meaningful and appropriate incentives to manage the business of the Company and the Bank successfully and to align executive officers’ interests with those of the stockholders of the Company. The program is structured to accomplish the following:

• encourage a consistent and competitive return to stockholders over the long-term;

• maintain a corporate environment that encourages stability and a long-term focus for the primary constituencies of the Company, including employees, stockholders, communities, clients and government regulatory agencies;

• maintain a program that:

• clearly motivates personnel to perform and succeed according to the current goals of the Company;

• provides management with the appropriate empowerment to make decisions that benefit the primary constituents;

• attracts and retains key personnel critical to the long-term success of the Company;

• provides for management succession planning and related considerations;

• encourages increased productivity; and

• provides for subjective consideration in determining incentive and compensation components; and

• ensure that management:

• fulfills its oversight responsibility to its primary constituents;

• conforms its business conduct to the Company’s established ethical standards;

• remains free from any influences that could impair or appear to impair the objectivity and impartiality of its judgments or treatment of the constituents of the Company; and

• avoids any conflict between its responsibilities to the Company and each executive officer’s personal interests.

Compensation Principles and Factors

Business Plan Objectives. The Boards of Directors of the Company and the Bank periodically conduct a review of current and anticipated business conditions in the context of the Company’s and the Bank’s financial and competitive position. The review period typically includes at least the previous two fiscal years and up to five years prospectively. In connection with this review, management submits a business plan to the Boards of Directors of the Company and the Bank that proposes strategic, financial and management objectives for the period covered, using multiple scenarios in response to a variety of stated assumptions. The Boards of Directors then evaluate the proposed business plan, and modify its provisions to the extent they deem appropriate. The business plan is updated by management and the Boards of Directors periodically throughout the year to respond to changing circumstances and conditions. The business plan provides a basis for evaluating the future progress of the organization, including all appropriate strategic alternatives, and management’s performance pursuant to the Human Resources Committee’s Charter.

For 2011, the Human Resources Committee considered the Company’s and the Bank’s performance within the context of the 2011 business plan and management’s overall performance, weighing numerous factors within and outside of management’s control.

Corporate Performance and Peer Comparison. In establishing named executive officer compensation, the Human Resources Committee periodically evaluates the Company’s and the Bank’s performance compared to management’s and the Board of Directors’ overall goals and business plan objectives as well as to other financial institutions. The Human Resources Committee believes that using the Company’s and the Bank’s performance as a factor in determining named executive officer compensation levels is a useful tool for aligning the executive officers’ interests with those of the stockholders of the Company. With that in mind, the Human Resources Committee focuses on the Company’s and the Bank’s overall performance relative to the prior calendar year and also considers the performance of local competitors. As part of the evaluation and review, the Human Resources Committee also takes into account the manner in which various subjective issues, such as competition and general and local economic conditions, including high unemployment rates and commodities prices and adverse conditions in housing and real estate markets, may have affected performance.

7

For purposes of comparative analysis in assessing performance, the Company generally considers commercial banks and savings institutions of similar asset size. The group of comparative institutions used in 2011 generally, but not exclusively, included local financial institutions with total assets of $1 billion to $10 billion. Given the ever-changing landscape within the banking industry, there is no specifically defined group of companies that is utilized for this analysis. The local financial institutions that were considered in 2011 included Taylor Capital Group, Inc. (TAYC), First Midwest Bancorp, Inc. (FMBI), MB Financial, Inc. (MBFI), Wintrust Financial Corporation (WTFC), PrivateBancorp Inc. (PVTB) and CFS Bancorp, Inc. (CITZ).

The Human Resources Committee believes that peer comparison is a useful tool for staying competitive in the marketplace and attracting and retaining qualified executives. While the Human Resources Committee believes that it is prudent to consider peer comparison in determining compensation practices, it does not establish empirical parameters or benchmarks for using this data. Rather, the Human Resources Committee uses peer comparison data to ensure that executive compensation is reasonable relative to competing organizations.

Performance Reviews and Role of Executives in Committee Meetings. Management reports to the Board of Directors at least annually on its progress in achieving the strategic, financial and management objectives established by the business plan. The Board of Directors then considers the overall performance of the Company and its named executive officers in the context of these objectives, weighing numerous factors and conditions within and outside of management’s control. Upon the completion of this review, the Human Resources Committee reviews current and proposed compensation levels for the Chief Executive Officer and the other named executive officers. The Human Resources Committee relies in part upon the Chief Executive Officer’s self-assessment as well as his assessment of each named executive officer’s individual performance, which considers each named executive officer’s achievements of his or her individual goals each year. However, the Board of Directors and Human Resources Committee exclude the Chief Executive Officer and all other named executive officers from their discussions and formal meetings concerning named executive officer compensation, except to receive the results of the decisions made by the Human Resources Committee or the Board of Directors and other relevant information.

Information Resources and Role of Compensation Consultants.In reviewing current and proposed compensation levels for named executive officers, the Human Resources Committee considers the organizational structure and composition of the Company and the Bank, external information from public sources on peer and competitor compensation practices and levels and other information it deems relevant to its responsibilities. The Human Resources Committee continued to have access to its own outside counsel and compensation consultant during 2011. The Human Resources Committee engaged Frederic W. Cook & Co. to assist in the preparation of the compensation aspects of reports filed with the SEC and to be available for consultations with outside counsel to the Human Resources Committee, but did not engage an independent compensation consultant for any other specific purpose in the 2011 review process because it believed it had sufficient information from external, independent public sources to execute its responsibilities.

Components of Executive Compensation

General.All named executive officers of the Company, including the Chief Executive Officer, are currently executive officers of the Bank.On May 19, 2006, the Company adopted the 2006 EIP, and it was subsequently approved by the Company’s stockholders at the 2006 Annual Meeting. Except for awards made pursuant to the 2006 EIP, the Company does not separately compensate its named executive officers. The compensation that the Bank pays to its named executive officers, however, is taken into account in establishing the intercompany expense allocations that the Company pays to the Bank. In connection with its mutual-to-stock conversion in 2005, the Bank also established a tax-qualified employee stock ownership plan (“ESOP”), and named executive officers are eligible to participate in the ESOP subject to vesting and other requirements and limitations applicable to all participants generally.

Base Salary.Generally, base salary levels are established based on job descriptions and responsibilities, either temporary or permanent in nature (including any revisions or proposed revisions thereto), competitive conditions and general economic trends in the context of the Bank’s financial and franchise condition, and performance. No surveys were used to establish base salaries during 2011. The Human Resources Committee determined that, based on the Company’s operating results for the year ended December 31, 2011, the base compensation of the Company’s three most highly compensated named executive officers would not be increased in 2012, and consistent with the Company’s general base compensation practices for 2012, the base compensation of the remaining two named executive officers would be increased by 2.5%. In 2011, the base salaries of the Chief Financial Officer and the Executive Vice President—General Counsel were increased by 5%. No other increases were made to the base salaries of the named executive officers in 2011.

In 2012, the base salaries for the named executive officers are as follows:

Name	Position	2012 Base Salary(1)
F. Morgan Gasior	Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President	$	405,804
Paul A. Cloutier	Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer	$	271,998

Christa N. Calabrese	Northern Regional President	$	232,477
Gregg T. Adams	Executive Vice President, Marketing and Sales	$	230,625

(1) Base salary is effective as of March 26, 2012, except that the base salaries for Messrs. Cloutier and Brennan did not change in 2012 and the base salary for Mr. Gasior did not change and has remained the same since 2009.

Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation.Annual cash incentive compensation reflects the relative achievement of the strategic, financial and management objectives established by the business plan, management’s responses to unforeseen circumstances or conditions that materially differ from those originally assumed, and the individual performance factors established for the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and each Regional President. Annual cash incentive compensation is generally established as a range of possible awards based on a percentage of base salary. Other factors considered include recent changes or proposed changes to base salary or other compensation elements, as well as competitive considerations. The Human Resources Committee determined that, based on the Company’s operating results for the year ended December 31, 2011, no cash incentive compensation would be paid to the Company’s named executive officers, including the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and the Regional Presidents, for the year ended December 31, 2011.

The Company prepared performance- and risk-based incentive compensation matrices for the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and each Regional President. Taken together, these matrices incorporate direct relationships of the Company’s principal risk exposures and performance based on the Human Resources Committee’s assessments. The matrices were not utilized to evaluate the eligibility of the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and the Regional Presidents for cash incentive compensation for the year ended December 31, 2011 due to the Human Resources Committee’s determination that no cash incentive compensation would be paid to the Company’s named executive officers, including the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Regional Presidents, for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Bonus.In 2011, the Company’s business plan assumptions included a total annual bonus payment cash pool between 5% and 10% of base salary for named executive officers other than the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and the Regional Presidents. Provided that, if and as applicable, the Company’s overall financial performance was generally consistent with the overall projected business plan results (taking into consideration factors both within and outside of the Company’s and the executive officers’ control), the annual performance review process may result in an award based on an assessment of the named executive officer’s execution of their applicable responsibilities. The Company does not use an empirical mathematical formula to determine the amount of the actual annual cash incentive compensation for these bonuses. The Human Resources Committee determined that, based on the Company’s operating results for the year ended December 31, 2011, no bonuses would be paid to the Company’s other named executive officers for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Equity-Based Compensation. The 2006 EIP established a mechanism by which awards of restricted stock or stock options could be utilized to further align the financial interests of employees, including the named executive officers, with stockholders and, in the future, provide an additional means to attract, retain and reward individuals who contribute to the success of the Company. The Human Resources Committee has established share ownership guidelines (as described below) for the named executive officers and other executive officers. The Human Resources Committee also considers the significant financial investment required of a participant who retains shares granted under the 2006 EIP because such participant must pay current income tax obligations with respect to such shares without having the benefit of selling the shares to generate cash proceeds sufficient to pay such tax liability. In addition, consistent with the purpose of aligning management financial interests with stockholder interests, the Human Resources Committee delegated to the Chief Executive Officer the authority to make grants pursuant to and established a framework for the Chief Executive Officer’s implementation of the 2006 EIP for individuals other than the executive officers of the Company or the Bank. In general, the delegated authority of the Chief Executive Officer is limited to grants to an aggregate of 120,000 restricted shares and 360,000 stock options, and to a maximum per individual of 10,000 restricted shares and 25,000 stock options.

9

No equity awards were granted to any named executive officer in 2011. The Human Resources Committee believes that the establishment of equity-based compensation programs has been an important tool for the retention and attraction of qualified management talent.

Share Ownership Guidelines. In the absence of difficult personal circumstances, the Human Resources Committee encourages the Chief Executive Officer and the other named executive officers of the Company to acquire with their own funds and hold a position in Company shares at least equal to 100% of the executive’s three-year average annual cash compensation. At December 31, 2011, all of the Company’s named executive officers met all elements of the Human Resources Committee’s share ownership guidelines.

401(k) Plan. The Company has a tax-qualified defined contribution retirement plan covering all of its eligible employees. Employees are eligible to participate in the plan after attainment of age 21 and completion of six months of service. Effective April 1, 2007, the Board of Directors amended the match component of the plan to provide a fixed match in the amount of 50% of the first 6% of compensation deferred under the plan. The Board of Directors amended the match formula after considering the significant benefit provided to all eligible employees under the Bank’s ESOP. The Company could also contribute an additional amount annually at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Contributions totaling $414,482 were made to the 401(k) plan for 2011. All reasonable administrative expenses incurred by the Plan were paid by the Plan.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan and Trust.The Bank implemented the ESOP in connection with the mutual-to-stock conversion, effective as of January 1, 2004. Employees are eligible to participate in the ESOP after the attainment of age 21 and completion of at least one year of employment. As part of the mutual-to-stock conversion, the ESOP trust borrowed funds from the Company and used those funds to purchase 1,957,300 shares of common stock. The shares of common stock purchased by the ESOP are the collateral for the loan. The loan will be repaid principally from the Bank through discretionary contributions to the ESOP over a period of up to 20 years. The loan documents provide that the loan may be repaid over a shorter period, without penalty for prepayments. The interest rate for the loan equals the prime rate plus 100 basis points, adjustable every five years. Shares purchased by the ESOP are held in a suspense account for allocation among participants as the loan is repaid. The Company does not have any equity compensation program that was not approved by its stockholders, other than its ESOP.

Contributions to the ESOP, and shares released from the suspense account in an amount proportional to the repayment of the ESOP loan, and consistent with historical practices, are allocated among ESOP participants on the basis of compensation in the year of allocation. Benefits under the plan become fully vested upon completion of five years of credited service, with credit given to participants for years of credited service with the Bank prior to the adoption of the plan. However, employees retained through the merger of Downers Grove National Bank into the Bank were credited with service beginning on the date they first became employed by the Bank. A participant’s interest in his or her account under the plan also fully vests in the event of termination of service due to a participant’s early or normal retirement, death, disability, or upon a change of control (as defined in the plan). Vested benefits are payable in the form of shares of common stock and/or cash. Any unvested benefits will be forfeited upon termination of employment in accordance with the terms of the ESOP. Such forfeited amounts remain in the ESOP and are reallocated to remaining participants in accordance with the terms of the ESOP. The Bank’s contributions to the ESOP are discretionary, subject to the loan terms and tax law limits. The ESOP will terminate in the event of a change of control (as defined in the plan). All reasonable administrative expenses incurred by the Plan were paid by the Plan.

All Other Compensation and Perquisites.The Human Resources Committee reviews and monitors the level of other compensation and perquisites offered to the named executive officers in the context of current business operations and general market practices. Excluding the effects of the Bank’s contributions for the health, vacation, 401(k) and ESOP benefits available to all full-time employees and the Bank’s reimbursement of the after-tax premium costs for disability insurance coverages, the Human Resources Committee generally believes that other compensation and perquisites should not exceed 10% of each named executive officer’s total annual cash compensation. The Company’s perquisite policy was amended in 2007 to reflect this limitation. As of December 31, 2011, the Company’s compensation practices with respect to other compensation and perquisites met this standard.

Conclusions for Year Ended December 31, 2011

Executive Summary. The following is a brief summary of the compensation decisions the Human Resources Committee made with respect to the named executive officers for 2011 and 2012:

• No cash incentive compensation payments or bonuses were awarded to the named executive officers for the year ended December 31, 2011 and no equity awards were granted.

10

• On March 26, 2012, the base salaries of the Northern Regional President and the Executive Vice President of Marketing and Sales increased by 2.5%, consistent with the Company’s general base compensation practices for 2012. No other increases were made to the base salaries of the named executive officers in 2012.

• In 2011, the base salaries of the Chief Financial Officer and the Executive Vice President—General Counsel were increased by 5%. No other increases were made to the base salaries of the named executive officers in 2011.

Review of Chief Executive Officer.The Human Resources Committee met outside the presence of management to review the Chief Executive Officer’s performance in the context of the approved business plan, and the extent to which established strategic, financial and management objectives were realized during 2011. The Human Resources Committee also evaluated the overall state of the Company’s franchise and strategic position, capabilities and direction consistent with the Chief Executive Officer’s execution of his leadership and planning responsibilities. The Human Resources Committee determined that, based on the Company’s operating results for the year ended December 31, 2011, no cash incentive compensation would be paid to the Company’s named executive officers, including the Chief Executive Officer, for the year ended December 31, 2011, and that the base compensation of the Company’s three most highly compensated named executive officers, including the Chief Executive Officer, would not be increased in 2012. Because of this decision, the Human Resources Committee did not utilize a performance- and risk- based incentive compensation matrix to evaluate the eligibility of the Chief Executive Officer for cash incentive compensation or an increase in base compensation. The Board of Directors, with Mr. Gasior not participating, ratified the actions of the Human Resource Committee with respect to the Chief Executive Officer.

The performance- and risk-based incentive compensation matrix that has historically been used to evaluate the eligibility of the Chief Executive Officer for cash incentive compensation or an increase in base compensation encompasses five separately weighted performance areas – core earnings per share (25%), internal controls (25%), asset quality (25%), marketing and business development (15%), and leadership and planning (10%), and has been used. For the matrix that was originally established for the year ended December 31, 2011, there were no predetermined numerical criteria for asset quality, leadership and planning or marketing and business development. The predetermined criterion for internal controls was the absence of significant or material deficiencies. The core earnings per share target and the actual results of the year ended December 31, 2011, are set forth in the table below.

CATEGORY	2011 Performance			2011 Plan
Earnings Per Share
Earnings (Loss) Per Share	$	(2.46	)	$	0.29
Core Earnings (Loss) Per Share, including goodwill and deferred tax asset charges(1)		(2.48	)		0.23
Core Earnings (Loss) Per Share, excluding goodwill and deferred tax asset charges(1)		(0.32	)		N/A

(1) For the purposes of the 2011 Business Plan, core earnings per share represented projected earnings per share adjusted for the after-tax effect of bargain purchase gain, accreted interest income, certificates of deposit yield adjustment and one-time expenses related to the acquisition of Downers Grove National Bank, equity-based compensation and the amortization of intangible expenses. The definition did not contemplate goodwill impairment charges or reserves for deferred tax assets.

Review of the Chief Financial Officer.The Human Resources Committee met outside the presence of management to review the performance of the Chief Financial Officer. Because of its decision not to award cash incentive compensation to any named executive officers, including the Chief Financial Officer, for the year ended December 31, 2011, or to increase the base compensation of the Company’s three most highly compensated named executive officers, including the Chief Financial Officer, in 2012, the Human Resources Committee did not utilize a performance- and risk- based incentive compensation matrix to evaluate the eligibility of the Chief Financial Officer for cash incentive compensation or an increase in base compensation. The Board of Directors, with Mr. Gasior not participating, ratified the actions of the Human Resource Committee with respect to the Chief Financial Officer.

The performance- and risk- based incentive compensation matrix for the Chief Financial Officer has historically encompassed five separately weighted performance areas – core earnings per share (5%), internal controls (25%), asset quality – securities (30%), liquidity and interest rate risk (30%), and leadership and planning (10%), and has been used to arrive at the cash incentive compensation for which the Chief Financial Officer was eligible to receive as a percentage of base salary. For the matrix that was originally established for the year ended December 31, 2011, there were no predetermined numerical criteria for asset quality, leadership and planning or liquidity and interest rate risk. The predetermined criterion for internal controls was the absence of significant or material deficiencies. The core earnings per share target and the actual results of the year ended December 31, 2011 were the same as those that were established for the Chief Executive Officer, as reflected in the above table.

11

Review of the Northern Regional President.The Human Resources Committee met outside the presence of management to review the performance of the Northern Regional President. Because of its decision not to award cash incentive compensation to any named executive officers, including the Northern Regional President, for the year ended December 31, 2011, the Human Resources Committee did not utilize a performance- and risk- based incentive compensation matrix to evaluate the eligibility of the Northern Regional President for cash incentive compensation. The performance- and risk- based incentive compensation matrix for the Northern Regional President has historically encompassed six weighted performance areas – customer service (25%), asset quality (25%), loan growth (15%), deposit growth (15%), internal controls (10%) and leadership and planning (10%), and has been used to arrive at the cash incentive compensation for which the Northern Regional President was eligible to receive as a percentage of base salary. For the matrix that was originally established for the year ended December 31, 2011, there were no predetermined numerical criteria for asset quality, loan growth, deposit growth or leadership and planning. The Human Resources Committee further concluded that, consistent with the Company’s general base compensation practices for 2012, a 2.5% base compensation increase was appropriate for the Regional President in 2012. The Board of Directors, with Mr. Gasior not participating, ratified the actions of the Human Resource Committee with respect to the Northern Regional President.

Review of Other Named Executive Officers.The Human Resources Committee met outside the presence of management to review the performance of the other named executive officers of the Company. The Human Resources Committee noted that the Chief Executive Officer had submitted assessments of the performance of the other named executive officers of the Company to the Human Resources Committee. The Human Resources Committee reviewed and evaluated the information provided by the Chief Executive Officer.

Review of Executive Vice President – General Counsel.Because of its decision not to award bonuses to any named executive officers, including the Executive Vice President – General Counsel, for the year ended December 31, 2011, or to increase the base compensation of the Company’s three most highly compensated named executive officers in 2012, including the Executive Vice President – General Counsel, the Human Resources Committee did not award cash incentive compensation to, or increase the base compensation of, the Executive Vice President – General Counsel. The Board of Directors, with Mr. Gasior not participating, ratified the actions of the Human Resource Committee with respect to the Executive Vice President – General Counsel.

Review of Executive Vice President – Marketing & Sales.Because of its decision not to award bonuses to any named executive officers, including the Executive Vice President – Marketing & Sales, for the year ended December 31, 2011, the Human Resources Committee did not award cash incentive compensation to the Executive Vice President – Marketing & Sales. The Human Resources Committee further concluded that, consistent with the Company’s general base compensation practices for 2012, a 2.5% base compensation increase was appropriate for the Executive Vice President – Marketing & Sales. The Board of Directors, with Mr. Gasior not participating, ratified the actions of the Human Resource Committee with respect to the Executive Vice President – Marketing & Sales.

Reasonableness of Compensation

After considering all components of the compensation program for the named executive officers, the Human Resources Committee has determined that such compensation is reasonable and appropriate.

The incentive compensation programs for the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and the Regional Presidents include both asset quality and internal control risk measurements. Similar controls exist within the incentive compensation plans for non-executive officers and employees of the Company, as applicable. In addition, the measurement and review of the asset quality and internal controls performance are separated from the applicable business operations, including audits by the Company’s Internal Audit Division, the Company’s independent external audit firm and other third-party independent reviews. Finally, the overall system of internal controls is robust and provides multiple levels of controls to reasonably detect and prevent instances of excessive risk taking within the organization.

Tax and Accounting Treatment

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code limits the tax deduction to $1 million for compensation paid to certain executive officers of public companies. The limitations on the deductibility of executive compensation imposed under Section 162(m) did not affect the Company during 2011 because the compensation paid to the Company’s executive officers in 2011 did not exceed these limitations. The 2006 EIP provides the Human Resources Committee with flexibility to address issues that may arise under Section 162(m), and contains provisions that could be utilized to reduce its potential adverse effects.

12

Code Section 409A.The Human Resources Committee has monitored regulatory developments under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, which was enacted as part of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 and deals with specific tax rules for non-qualified deferred compensation plans. The Company previously revised certain provisions in its employment agreements with the Chief Executive Officer, the other named executive officers and certain other officers to address Section 409A and the final Treasury Regulations under Section 409A. The 2006 EIP provides the Human Resources Committee with flexibility to address issues that may arise under Section 409A, and contains provisions that could be utilized to reduce its potential adverse effects.

Other Taxation Issues.The Human Resources Committee believes that, as the Company’s compensation structures become more complex, the effects of the alternative minimum tax and other taxation issues could affect the net intended effect of the Company’s compensation plans. Although no specific action is warranted at this time, the Human Resources Committee intends to monitor the effects of the alternative minimum tax and other taxation issues on the Company and its directors, officers and associates when evaluating various compensation principles, practices and plans.

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Accounting Standards Codification Topic No. 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation (“ASC Topic 718”), requires companies to record the compensation cost for stock options, restricted stock and other equity-based compensation arrangements that are provided to employees in return for employment service. The cost is based on the grant date fair value, and this cost is expensed over the requisite service period, which is normally the vesting period of the award. ASC Topic 718 applies to awards granted or modified in years beginning in 2006 and thus applies to awards granted pursuant to the 2006 EIP. The Human Resources Committee evaluates the potential adverse impact of ASC Topic 718 on future compensation expense when determining the size and types of awards to be granted under the 2006 EIP.

Potential Payments upon Termination or Change of Control

The following table sets forth information concerning potential payments and benefits under the Company’s compensation programs and benefit plans to which the named executive officers would be entitled upon a termination of employment as of December 31, 2011. As is more fully described below, the named executive officers entered into employment agreements with the Company and/or the Bank, as applicable (each, an “Employment Agreement”), which provide for payments and benefits to a terminating executive officer following a termination other than for “cause” or by resignation. In addition, award agreements under the 2006 EIP (the “Award Agreements”) provide for the accelerated vesting of unvested awards in similar circumstances, and in addition, upon the occurrence of a change of control of the Company. Except for the payments and benefits provided by the Employment Agreements and the Award Agreements, all other payments and benefits provided to any named executive officer upon termination of his or her employment are the same as the payments and benefits provided to other eligible executives of the Bank. For purposes of estimating the value of certain equity awards, the Company has assumed a price per share of the Company’s common stock of $5.52, which was the closing price of the Company’s common stock on December 30, 2011, the last trading day of the year.

(1) For each named executive officer, except Mr. Adams, cash payments include an amount equal to the average cash incentive compensation paid during the preceding two years prorated for the year of termination, prorated employer matching 401(k) contribution for the year of termination, and the base salary the executive would have received from the date of termination through the end of his/her employment period. The cash payments for Mr. Adams include a prorated annual cash incentive compensation for the year of termination, prorated employer matching 401(k) contribution for the year of termination, and the base salary he would have received from the date of termination through the end of his employment period. The intrinsic value of accelerated equity awards is zero for all named executive officers based on the closing stock price on December 30, 2011 of $5.52. Continued benefits reflect the incremental cost of core benefits to the Company during the executive’s remaining employment period based on actual cost for 2011. Excludes any reduction in benefit as a result of disability insurance or federal social security disability payments.

(2) For each named executive officer, except Mr. Adams, cash payments include an amount equal to the average cash incentive compensation paid during the preceding two years prorated for the year of termination, prorated employer matching 401(k) contribution, and three times the executive’s three-year average cash compensation. The cash payments for Mr. Adams includes a prorated annual cash incentive compensation for the year of termination, prorated employer matching 401(k) contribution for the year of termination, and the base salary he would have received from the date of termination through the end of his employment period. The intrinsic value of accelerated equity awards is zero for all named executive officers based on the closing stock price on December 30, 2011 of $5.52. Continued benefits reflect the incremental cost of core benefits to the Company for 36 months based on the actual cost for 2011 except for Mr. Adams, whose continued benefits reflect the incremental cost of core benefits to the Company during his remaining employment period.

(3) The payments reflected in this column assume the executive terminated for good reason in connection with a change of control. For each named executive officer, except Mr. Adams, cash payments include an amount equal to the average cash incentive compensation paid during the preceding two years prorated for the year of termination, prorated employer matching 401(k) contribution, and three times the executive’s three-year average cash compensation. The cash payments for Mr. Adams includes a prorated annual cash incentive compensation for the year of termination, prorated employer matching 401(k) contribution for the year of termination, and the base salary he would have received from the date of termination through the end of his employment period. The intrinsic value of accelerated equity awards is zero for all named executive officers based on the closing stock price on December 30, 2011 of $5.52. Continued benefits reflect the incremental cost of core benefits to the Company for 36 months based on the actual cost for 2011 except for Mr. Adams, whose continued benefits reflect the incremental cost of core benefits to the Company during his remaining employment period. If applicable, executive severance benefits are reduced to avoid constituting an “excess parachute payment” under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code. No reduction in benefits was required as of the assumed December 31, 2011 termination date.

Accrued Pay and Regular Retirement Benefits. The amounts shown in the table on the previous page do not include payments and benefits to the extent they are provided on a non-discriminatory basis to salaried employees generally upon termination of employment. These include:

• Accrued but unpaid salary and vacation pay.

• Distributions of plan balances under the Bank’s 401(k) plan and its ESOP. See “401(k) Plan” and “Employee Stock Ownership Plan and Trust” on page 10 for an overview of the 401(k) and the ESOP.

• The value of option continuation upon retirement, death or disability. Except as may be provided in connection with a change of control, when an employee terminates employment other than for cause and prior to retirement, death or disability, his or her vested stock options will remain exercisable for a period of three months following termination. When an employee is terminated for cause, his or her stock options, whether vested or unvested, are terminated immediately. When a retirement-eligible employee terminates employment, or when an employee dies or becomes disabled, his or her vested stock options remain exercisable for 12 months following the date of his or her termination.

Acceleration of Vesting upon a Change of Control. Upon the occurrence of a change of control of the Company, unless otherwise stated in an award agreement, all outstanding options and Stock Appreciation Rights (“SARs”) then held by a participant, including each of the named executive officers, who is employed by, or providing services to, the Company or its subsidiaries at the time of such change of control will become fully exercisable and all stock awards or cash incentive awards shall be fully earned and vested (subject to limitations on performance-based awards). Any such options or SARs, the vesting of which is accelerated upon the occurrence of a change of control, shall remain exercisable in accordance with their terms. The Company has not awarded any SARs under the 2006 EIP.

Employment Agreements. The Bank entered into employment agreements with each of Messrs. Gasior, Brennan, Cloutier, and Adams in 2003. In addition, in August 2004, the Bank entered into an employment agreement with Ms. Calabrese that is substantially similar to the employment agreements for the other four named executive officers. The employment agreements with Messrs. Gasior, Cloutier, Brennan and Adams and Ms. Calabrese were amended and restated in May 2008, principally to ensure compliance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. Each employment agreement had an initial term of 36 months (other than Mr. Adams’ employment agreement, which had an initial term of 24 months) that can be extended each year for an additional year, at the discretion of the Board of Directors.

The Board of Directors of the Bank most recently reviewed the Bank’s employment agreements with Messrs. Gasior, Cloutier, Brennan, and Adams, and Ms. Calabrese. On March 28, 2012, the Board of Directors approved the extension of the terms of the Bank’s employment agreements with Messrs. Gasior, Cloutier, and Brennan, and Ms. Calabrese through March 31, 2015, and the extension of the Bank’s employment agreement with Mr. Adams through March 31, 2014.

Under the employment agreements, the Bank will pay the executive officers the base salary as reflected in the Bank’s payroll records, subject to discretionary increases by the Board of Directors. The 2011 base salaries for Messrs. Gasior, Cloutier, Brennan and Adams were $405,804, $271,998, $325,468 and $225,000, respectively, and the 2011 base salary for Ms. Calabrese was $226,807. The employment agreements provide that the base salary may be increased but not decreased. The employment agreements also provide that the executive officer will receive the use of an automobile or an automobile allowance and the payment of designated club dues, provided that, in a given year, these payments may not, in the aggregate, exceed ten percent of the executive officer’s cash compensation. The employment agreements further provide that the executive officer is entitled to participate with other executive officers in non-equity short-term incentive compensation and discretionary non-equity bonuses declared by the Board. In addition to base salary and bonus, the employment agreements provide for, among other things, participation in a Section 125 cafeteria plan, group medical, dental, vision, disability and life insurance plans, referred to as the core plans, 401(k) plan, the ESOP and other employee and fringe benefits applicable to executive personnel.

During the employment period, each executive officer is provided with a supplemental disability insurance policy that pays 60% of base salary for the remaining term of the agreement in the event the executive officer is terminated due to disability. If an executive officer becomes disabled, his or her base salary will be reduced proportionately by the disability payments made under the disability policy and under the federal social security system. Each executive officer is responsible for paying the premiums but receives an annual allowance in an amount sufficient, on an after-tax basis, to equal the premium payments. In the event of termination of employment due to disability, the executive officer will be entitled to his or her earned salary, an amount equal to the annual average of any cash incentive compensation and bonus that the executive officer received during the preceding two fiscal years, except for Mr. Adams’ who would receive an amount equal to the cash incentive compensation he would receive during the current year. The executive officer will receive the prorated employer matching 401(k) plan contribution that the executive officer would be entitled to receive for the current year. In addition, the executive officer will be entitled to the base salary the executive officer would have been paid through the date the employment period would have expired if the executive officer’s employment had not been sooner

18

terminated due to disability, which will be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis by the disability insurance and federal social security disability payments referenced above, and continued coverage under the core plans through the date the employment period would have expired, subject to the executive officer’s continued payment of the costs and contributions for which he or she is responsible. After their continued coverage under the core plans expires, Messrs. Gasior, Cloutier, Brennan and Adams and Ms. Calabrese may elect to continue their health care coverage at their sole expense and without any cost to the Bank until they become eligible for Medicare coverage or for coverage under another employer’s group health plan.

In addition to the life insurance benefits provided to regular full-time employees, a supplemental life insurance policy was historically provided to each insurable executive officer in an amount not less than three times the executive officer’s base salary. In May 2007, the Bank purchased bank-owned life insurance insuring the lives of certain officers, including the named executive officers. The purchase of bank-owned life insurance enabled the Bank to eliminate the separate life insurance policies on all named executive officers except Mr. Gasior in 2007, and on Mr. Gasior on January 1, 2009.

In the event the executive officer’s employment is terminated due to death, his or her surviving spouse and minor children, if any, will be entitled to the same coverage under the core plans that the executive officer would have been provided if his or her employment had terminated due to disability. In addition, the executive officer’s estate or trust, as applicable, will be entitled to the base salary the executive officer would have been paid through the date the employment period would have expired if the executive officer’s employment had not been sooner terminated due to death. If a supplemental life insurance policy has been obtained on the life of the executive officer, the Bank’s obligation to make such payments will be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis by the death benefit payments under any supplemental life insurance policy purchased for an executive officer. Except with respect to continued coverage under the core plans and the ability to elect to continue health care coverage under the core plans for an additional period at no cost to the Bank, the Bank will generally have no obligation to pay or provide an executive officer’s estate, surviving spouse, or minor children with any other compensation or benefits on account of the executive officer’s death.

In the event the executive officer’s employment is terminated without cause by the Bank, the executive officer will receive his or her earned salary, prorated incentive compensation, accrued plan contribution, continued coverage under the core plans for 36 months, except for Mr. Adams, whose continued coverage would be during the remaining employment period, subject to the executive officer’s payment of costs and contributions for which he or she is responsible, the ability to continue health care coverage thereafter at his or her sole expense, and an amount equal to three times his or her average annual compensation, with the exception of Mr. Adams who would be paid his base salary from the effective date of termination through the date the employment period would have expired. Payment of benefits will be made in a single lump sum, except for Mr. Adams’ will be made in equal installments.

Under the employment agreements, the executive officer may terminate his or her employment for “Good Reason” by giving notice within 60 days after the event giving rise to the right to terminate employment. Good Reason generally includes (i) the Bank’s decision not to re-elect or failure to re-elect the executive officer to his or her present position; (ii) with the exception of Mr. Adams, the Bank’s failure to extend the executive officer’s employment period on the anniversary date for an additional year; (iii) the relocation of the executive officer’s principal place of employment by more than a specified distance; (iv) the reduction in the executive officer’s base salary or a material reduction in benefits to which the executive officer is entitled; (v) the liquidation or dissolution of the Bank or the Company; (vi) the Bank’s material uncured breach of the employment agreement; and (vii) with the exception of Mr. Adams, the occurrence of a “Change of Control” as such term is defined in the 2006 EIP. With respect to Mr. Gasior’s employment agreement, “Good Reason” also includes the failure to elect or re-elect him as Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Bank, a change in the composition of the Board of Directors of the Bank such that the current directors no longer constitute a majority of the board other than in certain circumstances where the new board is nominated or appointed by the existing board, or a significant reduction in the scope of his duties, powers, privileges, authority or responsibilities. In the event an executive officer’s employment is terminated for Good Reason, he or she will receive the same amounts, the same coverage under the core plans and the same health insurance coverage continuation rights that he or she would have received if his or her employment had been terminated without cause. An executive officer who terminates his or her employment by resignation other than due to Good Reason will only be entitled to his or her earned salary and vacation through the date of termination.

The executive officer is required under the employment agreement to execute a general release in consideration for any severance amounts. The executive officer also agrees not to compete with the Bank or its affiliates for six months after termination or during the period that severance amounts are paid, if longer. In addition, the executive officer agrees not to solicit the Bank’s customers, their business or the Bank’s employees for eighteen months, which may be reduced in certain circumstances. Payment of amounts due the executive officers under the employment agreements will generally be made in a single lump sum, or in the case of Mr. Adams, in equal installments with the exception upon death and will be reduced as may be necessary to avoid constituting an “excess parachute payment” under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code.

In October 2008, the Company entered into employment agreements with Messrs. Gasior, Cloutier and Brennan. The employment agreements have three-year terms and, except as discussed below, are otherwise substantially similar to the respective employment agreements that these individuals have with the Bank. The Board of Directors of the Company most recently reviewed the Company’s employment agreements with Messrs. Gasior, Cloutier and Brennan and approved the extension of their terms through March 31, 2015.

19

The Company does not separately compensate Messrs. Gasior, Cloutier or Brennan for their services to the Company, except for awards made by the Company under the 2006 EIP. Instead, the Bank pays and provides their cash compensation and benefits (other than benefits under the 2006 EIP), and allocates a portion of this expense to the Company pursuant to an intercompany expense sharing arrangement in proportion to the time and services that they provide to the Company. The employment agreements between the Company and Messrs. Gasior, Cloutier and Brennan thus provide that any cash compensation and benefits that become simultaneously due under both their employment agreements with the Company and their employment agreements with the Bank will be subtracted from those due Messrs. Gasior, Cloutier and Brennan under their respective employment agreements with the Company. The payments and benefits (other than benefits under the 2006 EIP) that each of Messrs. Gasior, Cloutier and Brennan will receive under his employment agreement with the Company if his employment is terminated without cause, for Good Reason or due to death or disability are the same as those provided for in their respective employment agreements with the Bank.

The primary material differences between the Company’s employment agreements with Messrs. Gasior, Cloutier and Brennan and their respective employment agreements with the Bank are that their employment agreements with the Company provide for indemnification under Maryland law (the Company’s state of incorporation) rather than applicable federal law, and further provide that, upon the termination of employment based on the occurrence of a Change of Control as that term is defined in the 2006 EIP, (i) all payments that would otherwise be payable in a series of installments instead will generally be paid in a single lump sum within five business days of the date of termination; (ii) the restricted periods applicable to the non-competition and non-solicitation covenants set forth in their respective employment agreements with the Company and their employment agreements with the Bank will be reduced to six months and the scope of the competitive restrictions will be limited to those that existed immediately prior to the Change of Control; and (iii) all obligations that may become due simultaneously under both the Company’s employment agreements with Messrs. Gasior, Cloutier and Brennan and their respective employment agreements with the Bank will first be provided under their employment agreements with the Company. The Company employment agreements do not impose a limit on the compensation that would be payable to Messrs. Gasior, Cloutier or Brennan upon the occurrence of a Change of Control to avoid an “excess parachute payment” under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code. However, the payments and benefits that would become due to Messrs. Gasior, Cloutier and Brennan upon the occurrence of a Change of Control currently would not result in any “excess parachute payments” based on their current and historic compensation levels and the relevant terms of their Company employment agreements.

Compensation of Directors

Directors’ Fees. All directors of the Company are also directors of the Bank. Except for Mr. Gasior, who receives no fees for serving as a director, committee chairperson or committee member, the directors of the Bank received an annual Board fee of $2,000 per month for preparing for and attending meetings of the Board of Directors of the Bank during 2011. Except for the Audit Committee, the Bank did not pay its directors a separate fee during 2011 for serving on board committees. The members of the Audit Committee were paid an Audit Committee fee during 2011 because the Audit Committee is a required entity with separate responsibilities established by applicable laws and regulations. During 2011, the Bank paid an Audit Committee fee of $1,000 per quarter to Mr. Hausmann (the Chairman of the Audit Committee), and $800 per quarter to Mr. Wells (a member of the Audit Committee).

The Company did not separately compensate the members of its Board of Directors during 2011 for preparing for and attending meetings of the Board of Directors of the Company. A portion of the Board fees that the Bank paid to its directors, however, was allocated to the Company in the intercompany expense allocations that were made between the Company and the Bank during 2011. The Company paid an Audit Committee fee of $800 per quarter to Mr. Koopmans during 2011 for serving on the Company’s Audit Committee, but did not compensate the other members of the Audit Committee due to the Audit Committee fee that they received from the Bank. The Company also partially reimbursed Mr. Koopmans for his travel expenses for attending meetings of the Company’s Board of Directors.

The Board of Directors fee and the Audit Committee fees for 2011 were unchanged from 2010. The Board fees for 2011 and Audit Committee fees for 2011 have been taken into account in the intercompany expense allocations between the Company and the Bank.

Equity-Based Compensation. The 2006 EIP established a mechanism by which awards of restricted stock or stock options could further align the financial interests of the directors of the Company and the Bank with stockholders and, in the future, provide an additional means to attract, retain and reward individuals who can and do contribute to the success of the Company. The Board of Directors granted long-term equity-based compensation awards (consisting of both restricted stock and stock options) to its members in 2006 and in 2007 and 2010 for Ms. Francis. The 2010 grant to Ms. Francis was awarded based on her years of service consistent with the director equity participation in the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan. Awards under the 2006 EIP were based in part on a member’s experience and on each member’s responsibilities as assigned by the Board of Directors.

20

The Board of Directors also established share ownership guidelines for directors applicable both to personally-acquired shares and shares acquired through the 2006 EIP. In general, absent difficult personal financial circumstances, the Board of Directors encourages each director in office at least one year to hold a position in Company shares equal to at least 50% of a director’s annual director’s fees. At December 31, 2011, all eligible directors and all directors as a group significantly exceeded this ownership position. In addition, the Human Resources Committee encourages directors to retain all shares granted under the 2006 EIP. At December 31, 2011, the Company’s directors retained 100% of their vested 2006 EIP restricted shares.

The table below provides information on 2011 compensation for directors who served in 2011.

(1) On September 2, 2011, the expiration date of certain outstanding stock options held by the directors was extended to September 5, 2012. The incremental fair value of the stock option extension was calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 718 and deemed immaterial. The assumptions used in calculating these amounts are set forth in Note 13 to our Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2011, which is located on pages 115 through 117 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The table below shows each current non-employee director’s outstanding equity awards as of December 31, 2011.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

Mr. Gasior is the only director of the Company and the Bank who is also an executive officer of the Company and/or the Bank. Mr. Gasior does not participate in the decisions of the Boards of Directors of the Company or the Bank or their respective Human Resources Committees concerning his compensation. No executive officer of the Company or the Bank has served on the Board of Directors or on the compensation committee of any other entity that had an executive officer serving on the Company’s Board of Directors or Human Resources Committee.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

Transactions with Certain Related Persons

Neither the Bank nor the Company had any outstanding extensions of credit as of December 31, 2011 to any executive officer or directors or to a related interest of a director or executive officer other than Ms. Francis. The Bank made certain secured real estate loans to Ms. Francis and her spouse prior to Ms. Francis’ appointment as a director in 2006, and these loans were considered to be grandfathered from the Bank’s practice of not making loans to directors or executive officers. This extension of credit was made in the ordinary course of business on substantially the same terms, including interest rate and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with persons not related to the Bank, does not involve more than normal risk of collectability or present other unfavorable features, and is not past due or classified as non-accrual, restructured or a potential problem loan. The Bank’s Professional Responsibility Policy provides that no director or executive officer (as defined by the Bank’s Board of Directors) may provide goods or services to the Bank or an affiliate (which includes the Company) unless approved by the disinterested majority of the Board of Directors after full disclosure and it is determined that the arrangement is fair and appropriate. In addition, all transactions between the Bank or its affiliates and a director or executive officer must be conducted on an arm’s length basis, comply with all applicable laws and regulations and be on terms that are no more favorable to the director or executive officer than those afforded to similarly situated customers and vendors.

Director Independence

The Board of Directors has determined that, except for Mr. Gasior, who serves as the Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company, each of the Company’s directors is “independent” as defined in Rule 5605(a)(2) of the listing standards of the NASDAQ Stock Market.
