Management 2014 Outlook(1) Category Outlook Lending Modest growthGoal of low single digit % overall loan growth, primarily supported by mid single digit % growth in commercial loans and low single digit % growth in consumer loans. 3Q’14 Update: Commercial and consumer loan growth of 10.5% and 13.3% (annualized), respectively, in the third quarter. Expect to achieve 2014 target for overall low single digit net loan growth, with seasonal slow down in Q4. Net interest income Modestly lowerGoal is to hold net interest income steady assuming continued low interest rate environment. However, pressure on net interest margin is not expected to be fully offset by projected modest interest-earning asset growth. 3Q’14 Update: $18.2 million actual is below expectation, due to change in loan mix and somewhat higher than expected prepayment rates. 3Q net commercial loan growth concentrated in last two weeks of the quarter. Expect flat to modest increase in NII in 4Q’14 as compared to 3Q’14. Provision for loan losses Continued steady improvement in asset qualityVery difficult area to forecast. Future provision levels will be particularly sensitive to net loan charge-offs, watch credit levels, loan default volumes, and TDR portfolio performance. 3Q’14 Update: $0.6 million credit provision with stable NPL’s and reduction in NCO’s. Other asset quality metrics (TDR level and early stage delinquencies) stable to improving. Non-interest income Comparable to last two quarters of 2013Expect a range of $10 million to $11 million per quarter. 3Q’14 Update: $10.5 million actual is at mid-point of the target range. Third quarter included a $0.5 million recovery of previously recorded impairment charges on MSR’s. Expect Q4’14 to be within predicted range with wildcard being mortgage loan servicing income. Non-interest expense LowerExpect a range of $22.5 million to $23.5 million per quarter. 3Q’14 Update: Actual non-interest expense of $22.1 million, which is below the lower end of the target range. For the last quarter of 2014, expect to be at or slightly below the lower end of the target range. Income taxes Approximately 31% to 32% in 2014. 3Q’14 Update: Actual 32.2% effective rate during the quarter. 20 (1) Outlook as of 10/26/14

Strategic Initiatives Balance SheetGenerate quality loan growth with continued focus on commercial and consumer installment lending as well as salable mortgage loans.Remain asset sensitive and positioned to benefit from higher interest rates (short duration investment portfolio, large variable rate loan portfolio and strong core deposit base with a significant amount of small to medium balance transaction accounts).Prudent capital management. Target TCE ratio – 10% to 11% near-term / 9% to 10% long- term. Priorities are: (A) capital retention to support (1) organic growth and (2) acquisitions; and (B) return of capital through (1) strong and consistent dividend and (2) share repurchase.Income StatementGenerate increased net interest income through change in earning asset mix (increased loans to deposits ratio and reduced level of investment securities).Increase non-interest income with focus on transaction related revenue (treasury management and debit card) and mortgage banking revenue.Continued reductions in non-interest expenses (credit related costs, branch optimization, process re-engineering and outsourcing).Improved efficiency ratio: 75% near-term (six months); 70% mid-term (12 to 18 months) and 65% longer-term (24 months). Achieve improvements through combination of revenue growth and expense reductions. Enterprise Risk ManagementContinued asset quality improvements.Meet increased compliance and regulatory requirements.Focus on data security and loss prevention. 21
