RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company conducts banking transactions in the ordinary course of business with related parties, including directors, executive officers, shareholders and their associates, on the same terms as those prevailing at the same time for comparable transactions with unrelated persons and that do not involve more than a normal risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable features.

Certain executive officers, directors and greater than 5% shareholders of the Company and certain entities and individuals related to such persons, incurred indebtedness in the form of loans, as customers, of $36,067 and $44,430 at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. During 2012, new loans and advances on existing loans of $15,751 were funded and loan repayments totaled $24,556. These loans were made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable loans with persons not related to the Company and are allowable under the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002. Additionally, during 2012, net loans of $442 were added due to changes in related parties from the prior year.

The Company purchases property, casualty and other insurance through an agency in which a director of the Company has a controlling ownership interest. The Company paid insurance premiums to the agency of $839, $1,328, and $879 in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
    


The Company leases an aircraft from an entity wholly-owned by the chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors. Under the terms of the lease, the Company pays a fee for each flight hour plus certain third party operating expenses related to the aircraft. During 2012, 2011 and 2010, the Company paid total fees and operating expenses of $262, $311 and $305, respectively, for its use of the aircraft. In addition, the Company leases a portion of its hanger and provides pilot services to the related entity. During 2012, 2011 and 2010, the Company received payments from the related entity of $47, $70 and $63, respectively, for hanger use, pilot fees and reimbursement of certain third party operating expenses related to the chairman’s personal use of the aircraft.

The Company purchases services from an entity in which four greater than 5% shareholders and six directors of the Company, including the chairman and vice chairman of the Board of Directors, have an aggregate ownership interest of 25%, and in which the vice chairman is the chairman of such entity. Services provided for the Company’s benefit include shareholder education and communication, strategic enterprise planning and corporate governance consultation.
During 2012, 2011 and 2010, the Company paid $243, $250 and $337, respectively, for these services. The Company also reimbursed the related entity for certain costs incurred in the Company’s behalf, primarily office costs for the vice chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors and the Company’s charitable foundation. These reimbursements totaled $88 in 2010. During 2012 and 2011, the Company paid these costs directly and thus no reimbursements were made. The related entity reimburses the Company for all salaries, wages and employee benefits expenses incurred by the Company in behalf of the related entity for its personnel.

During 2012, the Company entered into a contract with an entity wholly-owned by a director of the Company to provide construction management and advisory services related to the construction of a bank office building. Under the terms of the agreement, the entity will receive payments equal to the lesser of a fixed price of $180 or 4% of the actual construction contract price, with an initial payment of $60 due upon execution of the agreement and the remainder due in two equal installments over a two year period. Under the terms of the contract, the Company paid the entity $60 during 2012.
    
In conjunction with an acquisition, the Company assumed certain existing deferred compensatory agreements. Under the terms of one such agreement, the Company is required to make cash payments to a director of the Company for the promotion of growth and development of new business through December 31, 2011. The total amount due under the agreement was fixed prior to the acquisition date at $577, with a portion to be paid over 4 years and the remaining balance of $424 due in January 2012. As additional consideration under the agreement, the director provided, among other things, a covenant not to compete. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company made cash payments of $424 during 2012 and $38 during 2011 and 2010, respectively.

A director of the Company is party to an agreement to guarantee the payment of interest on loans between FIB and an unrelated third party borrower through December 31, 2012. Under the terms of the interest guaranty agreement, the director made interest payments to FIB on behalf of the borrower of $815 in 2012, $954 in 2011 and $487 in 2010.
