(e) On January 20, 2011, the Registrant’s Human Resources Committee approved two matters regarding the Registrant’s President and Chief Executive Officer, William J. McGurk. Mr. McGurk is scheduled to retire on April 26, 2011.

	(1)		Mr. McGurk’s salary, which had not been increased since 2008, was increased to $481,000 from $432,772. The Committee considered the advice of its independent compensation consultant, Pearl Meyer & Partners, in approving the increase.

	(2)		Mr. McGurk will receive a special cash bonus of $140,000, which will be in addition to any formula incentive bonus Mr. McGurk may be paid based on 2010 performance in accordance with the Registrant’s Officer Incentive Plan. The special cash bonus was awarded to Mr. McGurk in recognition of his singular leadership over 31 years as President and CEO of Rockville Bank. The Committee in awarding the bonus paid particular attention to the outstanding financial performance and strong asset quality of the Bank. Additionally, the committee noted Mr. McGurk’s efforts in working with Bank management and the Board of Directors with the transition and integration of his successor in the position of President and CEO.

On January 26, 2011, Rockville Bank also entered into an Advisory Agreement with Mr. McGurk to retain him in an advisory capacity for the two-year period following his retirement, with the title of Vice Chairman-Public Affairs. The Advisory Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, provides, among other things, that Mr. McGurk’s services will focus on market outreach and provide business development, industry and community public relations and occasional ombudsmen efforts. Mr. McGurk’s duties are to be coordinated with his successor as President and Chief Executive Officer, William H. W. “Bill” Crawford IV, and may include preparation and delivery of marketing messages, serving as a spokesman on selected occasions and appearing at events on behalf of Rockville Bank. Mr. McGurk’s advisory services will be in addition to his service as a member of the Registrant’s and Rockville Bank’s Boards of Directors. Mr. McGurk will be compensated for such advisory services at an annual rate of $96,000 plus expenses.
