Stock Incentive Plan

On May 19, 2009, the shareholders of the Company approved the Company's Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), which superseded and replaced the Omnibus Stock Ownership and Long Term Incentive Plan.

Under the Plan, stock options, stock appreciation rights, non-vested and/or restricted shares, and long-term performance unit awards may be granted to directors and certain employees for purchase of the Company's common stock.  The effective date of the Plan is March 19, 2009, the date the Company's Board approved the Plan, and it has a termination date of December 31, 2019.  The Company's Board may terminate, suspend or modify the Plan within certain restrictions. The Plan authorizes for issuance 350,000 shares of the Company's common stock.  The Plan requires that options be granted at an exercise price equal to at least 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of the grant. Such options are generally not exercisable until three years from the date of issuance and generally require continuous employment during the period prior to exercise.  The options will expire in no more than ten years after the date of grant. The stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, and long-term performance unit awards for certain employees are generally subject to vesting requirements and are subject to forfeiture if vesting and other contractual provision requirements are not met.  The Company did not grant stock options during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and there were no options outstanding at September 30, 2014.

Restricted Shares

The restricted shares are accounted for using the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date the restricted shares were awarded. The restricted shares issued to certain officers are subject to a vesting period, whereby, the restrictions on the shares lapse on the third year anniversary of the date the restricted shares were awarded.  Compensation expense for these shares is recognized over the three year period.  The restricted shares issued to non-employee directors are not subject to a vesting period, and compensation expense is recognized at the date the shares are granted.

The Company has granted awards of non-vested shares to certain officers and vested shares to non-employee directors under the above-described incentive plans: 10,570 shares and 12,470 shares of non-vested restricted stock to executive officers, and 4,050 shares and 5,712 shares of vested restricted stock to non-employee directors on February 20, 2014 and February 21, 2013, respectively.  The compensation expense for these non-vested shares is recognized over a period of three years, and was $38,000 and $36,000, net of forfeiture, for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 and $113,000 and $111,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. As of  September 30, 2014, there was $212,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to these non-vested shares, which will be recorded in conjunction with the vesting periods over the remaining 27 months. Compensation expense for the non-employee director shares is recognized at the date the shares are granted and during the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, none was recognized.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, $64,000 and $68,000 was recognized, respectively.

The Company granted performance-based stock rights relating to 10,746 and 12,470 shares to certain officers on February 20, 2014, and February 21, 2013, under the Plan.  The performance-based stock rights are accounted for using the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date awarded, and adjusted as the market value of the stock changes.  The performance-based stock rights issued to executive officers are subject to a vesting period, whereby the restrictions on the shares lapse on the third year anniversary of the date the shares were awarded.  Until vesting, the shares are not issued and not included in shares outstanding.  The awards are subject to the Company reaching a predetermined three year performance average on the return on average equity ratio, also as compared to a predetermined peer group of banks.  The compensation expense for performance-based stock rights totaled $36,000 and $22,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, compensation expense was $93,000 and $64,000, respectively.
