There was $25.0 million outstanding on this borrowing at December 31, 2011 which was collateralized by $45.0 million of loans of the Bank.

During the fourth quarter of 2010 the Company paid off a $25.0 million FHLB convertible select borrowing product which had a five year maturity and a six month conversion term at an initial interest rate of 4.29% and incurred a $1.6 million prepayment charge.

The proceeds from the issuance of the Trust Capital Securities were invested in substantially similar Junior Subordinated Debt of the Company. The Company unconditionally guaranteed the Trust Capital Securities. Interest on the debt was payable quarterly in arrears on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year. The Trust Capital Securities was scheduled to mature on June 15, 2030.
