Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
 
 
(e) On July 30, 2010, the Company entered into a Retention and Severance Program (the Program) with the Company’s senior management team, including, but not limited to:  Michael Reardon, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President; Joseph Guage, Chief Financial Officer and Vice President; Christine Homer, General Counsel, Vice President and Secretary; Patricia Morris, Chief Risk Officer and Vice President; John Vidovich, Executive Sales Director and Vice President; and Noelle Whitehead, Controller and Chief Accounting Officer. The Program is effective until December 31, 2011. The Program provides that if a change in control, as defined in the Program, occurs, each of the foregoing employees, as well as the other covered employees, will receive a transaction award equal to a specified percentage of the employee’s total compensation, which is defined as the sum of the employee's base salary plus the incentive compensation paid to the employee in respect of performance for the year prior to the year in which the change in control occurs.

In addition, for a period of twelve months following a change in control, the Program provides that if the Company or its successor terminates the employment of a covered employee without cause or a covered employee terminates his or her employment with the Company or its successor for good reason, the employee shall receive the following severance benefits: (i) a lump sum severance payment determined in accordance with the Company's existing separation pay plan, which is based on years of service, and (ii) outplacement services for up to 12 months, not to exceed $15,000.

As a condition to participation in the Program, the officers are subject to non-solicitation and other restrictive covenants. Additionally, payment of the transaction award or severance benefits under the Program is subject to the execution by the employee of a release waiving certain of his or her rights.

The foregoing description of the Program does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the copy of the Program included in each of Exhibits 10.3 through 10.8 hereto.
