Rechin, Hardwick, Stewart and Martin will be the Corporation&#8217;s operating earnings, calculated on a diluted GAAP basis. Due to the nature of his responsibilities, Mr. Fluhler&#8217;s performance payment will be based 70% on the Corporation&#8217;s operating earnings and 30% on the Corporation&#8217;s consolidated efficiency ratio (defined as noninterest expense, excluding foreclosed property expense and amortization of intangibles, as a percent of the sum of tax equivalent net interest income and noninterest income, excluding security gains and nonrecurring items) with certain reduced threshold, target and maximum payment percentages being applicable to the efficiency ratio metric.  In all cases, a minimum threshold (below which participants do not receive payments), a target amount and a maximum amount was set by the Board for each goal. </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Following the end of the fiscal year, the Compensation and Human Resources Committee of the Board will approve the payouts under the SMICP. Credit is given proportionately for performance falling between the threshold and maximum levels, but is not given for performance that is not at least at the threshold level, or for that portion of performance that exceeds the maximum level.  Participants must be employed when the payments are made, except in the case of death, disability or retirement, to be eligible for a payment under the program.  The SMICP has a &#8220;clawback&#8221; provision that provides for recovery of any payment made to a participant who is an executive officer if the payment is based on a materially inaccurate financial statement.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">The foregoing summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the SMCIP, which is incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit 10.1.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:center;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">ITEM 9.01 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#160;</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">(d)        Exhibits.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:center;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Times New Roman;
