Continued growth in construction commitments.  Criticized and Classified Assets improving but elevated as a result of purchased portfolios and prior year agricultural results.  Provision in line with charge-offs resulting in a 1.56% ALLL to non-purchased loans and 2.15% with fair value adjustments.  Minimal amount (<$20 million) of direct exposure to energy (coal). Other related energy exposure is associated with commodity price fluctuations and the effect on agricultural portfolio.
