EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS AND EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

Employment Agreements. On May 26, 2011, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Employment Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Mr. Gregory Garrabrants as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The Agreement, effective as of May 26, 2011, amends and restates that employment agreement between the Company and Mr. Garrabrants on October 22, 2007. The term of the Employment Agreement runs through June 30, 2015. Under the Agreement, after July 1, 2011, Mr. Garrabrants will receive an annual base salary of $375,000. Contingent upon shareholder approval, the Agreement also provides for, an Annual Cash Incentive Award based upon five performance objectives set by the Company which will be individually measured at the end of each fiscal year and could aggregate to an amount between 0% and 105% of Mr. Garrabrants’ base salary and an Annual Restricted Stock Unit Award equal to 40,000 shares of common stock multiplied by a factor ranging from 0 to 3 based upon the Company’s annual return on average common equity, annual asset growth and certain monthly-agreed qualitative factors established by the Company. Upon termination of the Employment Agreement by the Company “without cause” or by Mr. Garrabrants for “good reason” (as such terms are defined in the Employment Agreement), Mr. Garrabrants will be entitled to (a) an amount in cash equal to two times his base salary, (b) a pro-rated portion of his target annual cash incentive award, (c) accelerated vesting of his equity incentive awards outstanding, including restricted stock unit awards, (d) at the Company’s election, either a pro-rated portion of his annual restricted stock unit award based upon the Company’s return on equity, or an equivalent amount in cash, and (e) continuation of health benefits for up to twelve months.

On April 22, 2010, the Company and Andrew J. Micheletti, the Company’s Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, entered into a material definitive agreement entitled First Amended Employment Agreement (the “Amended Agreement”). Mr. Micheletti’s original employment agreement was effective July 1, 2003, and the Amended Agreement replaces the original agreement effective July 1, 2009. The Amended Agreement adds two achievement-based awards; an annual cash bonus target of up to 30% of current salary based upon specific performance measurements and provides a return on equity benefit of 15,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The return on equity benefit is based upon the Company’s achievement of certain levels of return on equity as calculated at the end of each fiscal year. The annual award of common stock units under the return on equity benefit will vest over three years and each year the 15,000-share base award will be adjusted down or up by a series of multiplication factors (ranging from 0, up to 3.4 times) depending on the level of return on equity the Company achieves in each fiscal year. Both the cash bonus and the return on equity benefits require approval by the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer annually under the Amended Agreement. These benefits replaced the deferred compensation and pre-tax net income benefits established in Mr. Micheletti’s original agreement in 2003.

401(k) Plan. The Company has a 401(k) Plan whereby substantially all of its employees may participate in the Plan. Employees may contribute up to 15% of their compensation subject to certain limits based on federal tax laws. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, 2012, and 2011 expense attributable to the plan amounted to $7, $5, and $0, respectively.

Deferred Compensation Plans. Effective August 1, 2003, the Company adopted the Bank of Internet USA Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plans (“Deferred Compensation Plans”) which cover designated key management employees and directors who elect to participate. The Deferred Compensation Plans allow eligible employees and directors to elect to defer up to 100% of their compensation, including commissions, bonuses and director fees. Although the Deferred Compensation Plans provide that the Company may make discretionary contributions to a participant’s account, no such discretionary contributions have been made through June 30, 2013. Participant deferrals are fully vested at all times, and discretionary contributions, if any, will be subject to a vesting schedule specified by the Company. Participants in the Deferred Compensation Plans may elect to invest their accounts in either of two accounts: (1) which earns interest based upon the prime rate; or (2) which mirrors the performance of the book value of the Company’s common stock. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors administrates the Deferred Compensation Plans. At June 30, 2013 and 2012, there was $0 and $1 deferred in connection with the Deferred Compensation Plans.
