The Corporation previously disclosed in its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010, that it has not yet been determined the amount the Bank plans on contributing to the Plan in 2011. As of June 30, 2011, this contribution has still not been determined.  The Corporation reduced the benefit formula for the defined benefit pension plan effective January 1, 2010, in order to manage total benefit costs.  The new formula is the earned benefit as of December 31, 2009, plus 0.75% of a participant's average monthly pay multiplied by years of benefit service earned on and after January 1, 2010, but not more than 25 years.  The benefit percentage factor and maximum years of service eligible were both reduced.
