Mr. Mason’s employment agreement, which was dated August 24, 2009 and filed on November 2, 2009 with the SEC as Exhibit 10.2 to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, was terminated in conjunction with his resignation.  Mr. Mason’s decision to resign did not arise or result from any disagreement with the Company on any matters relating to the Company’s operations, policies, or practices, and the Company expressed appreciation for Mr. Mason’s contributions to the Company and the Bank.
