Note 7 - Employee Benefit Plans

For additional detailed disclosure on the Company's pension and employee benefits plans, please refer to Note 11 of the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements included in the 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Noncontributory Defined Benefit Pension Plan

The Bank sponsors a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan ("Pension Plan") covering substantially all employees and officers. The Bank's funding policy is to make annual contributions, if needed, based upon the funding formula developed by the plan's actuary.

Any employee with a hire date of January 1, 2007 or later is not eligible to participate in the Pension Plan. In lieu of the Pension Plan, employees with a hire date of January 1, 2007 or later are eligible to receive, after meeting certain length of service requirements, an annual discretionary 401(k) plan contribution from the Bank equal to a percentage of an employee's base compensation. The contribution amount, if any, is placed in a separate account within the 401(k) plan and is subject to a vesting requirement.

For employees who are eligible to participate in the Pension Plan, the Pension Plan requires benefits to be paid to eligible employees based primarily upon age and compensation rates during employment. Upon retirement or other termination of employment, employees can elect either an annuity benefit or a lump sum distribution of vested benefits in the Pension Plan.

The following sets forth the components of net periodic benefit costs of the Pension Plan for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended

The Company expects to contributed $750,000 to the Pension Plan in 2012.

Defined Contribution Plan

The Company sponsors a voluntary 401(k) savings plan which eligible employees can elect to contribute up to the maximum amount allowable not to exceed the limits of IRS Code Sections 401(k). Under the plan, the Company also makes required contributions on behalf of the eligible employees. The Company's contributions vest immediately. Contributions by the Company totaled $132,000 and $124,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, contributions by the Company totaled $80,000 and $74,000, repectively

Directors' Deferred Compensation Plan

The Company's directors may elect to defer all or portions of their fees until their retirement or termination from service. Amounts deferred under the plan earn interest based upon the highest current rate offered to certificate of deposit customers. Amounts deferred under the plan are not guaranteed and represent a general liability of the Company. At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, an obligation of $996,000 and $1,030,000, respectively, was included in other liabilities for the plan in the consolidated balance sheet. Amounts included in interest expense on the deferred amounts totaled $8,000 and $12,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Restricted Stock Plan

The Company maintains a Restricted Stock Plan (the "Plan") whereby employees and non-employee corporate directors are eligible to receive awards of restricted stock based upon performance related requirements. Awards granted under the Plan are in the form of the Company's common stock and are subject to certain vesting requirements including continuous employment or service with the Company. A total of 100,000 shares of the Company's common stock have been authorized under the Plan. The Plan assists the Company in attracting, retaining and motivating employees to make substantial contributions to the success of the Company and to increase the emphasis on the use of equity as a key component of compensation.

For the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, 3,808 and 3,968 shares of restricted stock were awarded and 5,222 and 5,502 shares vested, respectively. Compensation cost related to restricted stock is recognized based on the market price of the stock at the grant date over the vesting period. Compensation expense related to restricted stock was $66,000 and $73,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, compensation expense totaled $33,000 and $36,000, respectively.

Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan

At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, an obligation of $855,000 and $778,000, respectively, was included in other liabilities for this plan in the consolidated balance sheet.
