Page 11

Dividend Equivalent Rights (“DER”):

In the event a dividend is paid to shareholders during the restriction period, the recipient will receive a cash payout as a DER at the time of vesting based on the number of shares from this restricted period which become vested due to meeting the performance and time restrictions.

Time-Vested Restricted Shares

Award Value:

·   One-third of the total targeted annual grant value will be provided in time-based RSA’s.

·   The grant value will be determined by calculating the total equity grant value [(2015 base salary x LTI target as % of 2015 base salary) then dividing by three].

·   Share count is based on the grant value divided by grant date closing stock price on 12/31/2014.

Vesting:

·   RSA’s xxxx xxxxx vest three years from date of grant.

·   These shares are not subject to performance contingencies and will be earned by the recipient by continued employment through the vesting period.

Performance Shares -Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”)

Award Value:

·   The TSR-based performance shares will constitute one third of the overall long-term incentive grant value.

·   The target number of shares granted will be equal to the number of time-based restricted shares.

Vesting:

·   Vesting of performance shares occurs at the end of the three year performance period based on the achievement of pre-determined TSR percentile ranking in relation to the Xxxxxxx 2000 Financial Services Index Companies (“Comparative Group”).

Performance Period:

·   The three year period which covers the grant date to the three year anniversary of the grant date.

Performance Metric:

·   The performance metrics associated with the Performance Shares will function on a relative TSR-based model provided on the following page.  Actual relative TSR performance will be measured at the end of the three-year period as compared to the Xxxxxxx 2000 Financial Services Index.

Performance Range:

·   As set out in the table below, threshold and maximum opportunity to incentivize performance will be associated with varying levels of relative performance.  Targeted performance is achieved when XXXXX TSR is at the 60th percentile of the comparative group.  Threshold performance is set at the 40th percentile.  In the event XXXXX performance is below the 40th percentile, the associated payout is equal to zero.  Maximum payout is achieved when XXXXX TSR performance is at the 100th percentile of the comparative group.

Page 12

Performance Shares - Earnings per Share (“EPS”) Growth

Award Value:

·   The EPS-based performance shares will constitute one third of the overall long-term incentive grant value.

·   The target number of shares to grant will be equal to the number of time-based RSA’s

Vesting:

·   Vesting of EPS performance shares occurs at the end of the three-year performance period based on achievement of pre-determined EPS targets.

Performance Period:
