                           CHANGE IN CONTROL AGREEMENT

         THIS CHANGE IN CONTROL AGREEMENT (this "Agreement"), dated this 28th
day of March, 1996, by and between Community Bancshares, Inc. a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), and Bishop K. Walker, Jr. (the "Executive").

                                   WITNESSETH:

         WHEREAS, the Company wishes to assure itself and its key employees of
continuity of management and objective judgment in the event of any actual or
contemplated Change in Control of the Company, and the Executive is a key
employee of the Company and is an integral part of management of the Company
(for purposes hereof employment with any present or future parent or subsidiary
corporation of the Company shall be considered employment by the Company); and

         WHEREAS, this Agreement is not intended to materially alter the
compensation and benefits that the Executive could reasonably expect to receive
in the absence of a Change in Control of the Company, and this Agreement
accordingly will be operative only upon circumstances relating to an actual or
anticipated change in control of the Company.

         NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises and the mutual
covenants herein contained, the parties hereby agree as follows:

         I.                OPERATION OF AGREEMENT

         This Agreement shall be effective immediately upon its execution by the
parties hereto, but anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding,
neither the Agreement nor any provision hereof shall be operative unless, during
the term of this Agreement, there has been a Change in Control of the Company
during the term of this Agreement, all of the provisions hereof shall become
operative immediately.

         II.               TERM OF AGREEMENT

                  The term of this Agreement shall be for an initial three (3)
year period commencing on the date hereof, and shall be renewable at the end of
the first year of such initial three (3) year period and annually thereafter,
for an additional one (1) year period following the initial three (3) year
period and prior extensions thereof in the sole discretion of the Compensation
Committee and upon such terms and conditions as the Compensation Committee may
authorize at such time.

         is not covered by (i) through (ii) above which the Board determines
         affects control of the Company and, in order to implement the purposes

         IV.               BENEFITS UPON TERMINATION FOLLOWING A CHANGE IN
                           CONTROL

         1. TERMINATION - The Executive shall be entitled to, and the Company
shall pay or provide to the Executive, the benefits described in Section 2 below
if (a) a Change in Control occurs during the term of this Agreement, and (b) the
Executive's employment is terminated within thirty (30) months following the
Change in Control either (i) by the Company (other than for Cause or by reason
of the Executive's death or Disability) or (ii) by the Executive pursuant to
Involuntary Termination; provided, however, that if:

         (a) during the term of this Agreement there is a public announcement of
a proposal for a transaction that, if consummated, would constitute a Change in
Control or the Board receives and decides to explore an expression of interest
with respect to a transaction which, if consummated, would lead to a Change in
Control (either transaction being referred to herein as the "Proposed
Transaction"); and

         (b) the Executive's employment is thereafter terminated by the Company
other than for Cause or by reason of the Executive's death or Disability; and

         (c) the Proposed Transaction is consummated within one (1) year after
the date of termination of the Executive's employment.

then, for the purposes of this Agreement, a Change in Control shall be deemed to
have occurred during the term of this Agreement and the termination of the
Executive's employment shall be deemed to have occurred within two (2) years
following a Change in Control.

         2. BENEFITS TO BE PROVIDED - If the Executive becomes eligible for
benefits under Section 1 above, the Company shall pay or provide to the
Executive the benefits set forth in this Section 2.

         (a) SALARY - The Executive will continue to receive his current salary
(subject to withholding of all applicable taxes and any amounts referred to in
Section 2(c) below) for a period of thirty (30) months from his date of
termination in the same manner as it was being paid as of the date of
termination; provided, however, that the salary payments provided for hereunder
shall be paid in a single lump sum payment, to be paid not later than thirty
(30) days after his termination of employment; provided further, that the amount
of such lump sum payment shall be determined by taking the salary payments to be
made and discounting them to their Present Value. For purposes hereof, the
Executive's "current salary" shall be the highest rate in effect during the
six-month period prior to the Executive's termination.

         (b) BONUSES - The Executive shall receive payments from the Company for
the thirty (30) months following the month in which this employment is
terminated in an amount for each such month equal to one-twelfth of the average
of the bonuses earned by him for the two calendar years immediately preceding
the year in which such termination occurs. Any bonus
<PAGE>   5
amounts that the Executive had previously earned from the Company but which may
not yet have been paid as of the date of termination shall not be affected by
this provision, other than to serve as a measurement for this portion of the
severance benefit. The bonus amounts determined herein shall be paid in a single
lump sum payment, to be paid not later than 30 days after termination of
employment; provided, further, that the amount of such lump sum payment shall be
determined by taking the bonus payments (as of the payment date) to be made and
discounting them to their Present Value.

         (c) HEALTH AND LIFE INSURANCE COVERAGE - The health and life insurance
benefits coverage provided to the Executive at his date of termination shall be
continued at the same level and in the same manner as if his employment had not
terminated (subject to the customary changes in such coverages if the Executive
retires,reaches age 65 or similar events), beginning on the date of such
termination and ending on the date thirty (30) months from the date of such
termination. Any additional coverages the Executive had at termination,
including dependent coverage, will also be continued for such period at the same
level and on the same terms as provided to the Executive immediately prior to
his termination, to the extent permitted by the applicable policies or contract.
Any costs Executive was paying for such coverages at the time of termination
shall be paid by the Executive by separate check payable to the Company each
month in advance. If the terms of any benefit plan referred to in this Section
do not permit continued participation by the Executive, then the Company will
arrange for other coverage at its expense providing substantially similar
benefits as it can find for other officers in similar positions.

         (d) EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT PLANS - To the extent permitted by the
applicable plan, the Executive will be fully vested in and will be entitled to
continue to participate, consistent with past practices, in all employee
retirement plans maintained by the Company in effect as of his date of
termination. The Executive's participation in such retirement plans shall
continue for a period of thirty (30) months from the date of termination of his
employment (at which point he will be considered to have terminated employment
within the meaning of the plans) and the compensation payable to the executive
under (a) and (b) above shall be treated (unless otherwise excluded) as
compensation under the plan. If full vesting and continued participation in any
plan is not permitted, the Company shall pay to the executive and, if
applicable, his beneficiary, a supplemental benefit equal to the Present Value
on the date of termination of employment of the excess of (i) the benefit the
Executive would have been paid under such plan if he had been fully vested and
had continued to be covered for the 30-month period as if the Executive had
earned compensation described under (a) and (b) above and had made contributions
sufficient to earn the maximum matching contribution, if any, under such plan
(less any amounts he would have been required to contribute), over (ii) the
benefit actually payable to or on behalf of the Executive under such plan. For
purposes of determining the benefit under (i) in the preceding sentence,
contributions deemed to be made under a defined contribution plan will be deemed
to be invested in the same manner as the Executive's account under such plan at
the time of termination of employment. The Company shall pay such supplemental
benefits (if any) in a lump sum.
<PAGE>   6
         (e) CAREER COUNSELING - The Company will provide career counseling and
out placement services on an individual basis to the Executive as the Company
deems appropriate and for a reasonable period following the Executive's
termination of employment; provided, however, that the Company's obligation to
provide such services shall terminate at such time, if any, as the cost of such
services exceeds $5,000.

         (f) EFFECT OF LUMP SUM PAYMENT - The lump sum payment under (a) or (b)
above shall not alter the amounts the Executive is entitled to receive under the
benefit plans described in (c) and (d) above. Benefits under such plans shall be
determined as if the Executive had remained employed and received such payments
over a period of thirty (30) months.

         (g) EFFECT OF DEATH OR RETIREMENT - The benefits payable or to be
provided under this Agreement shall continue in the event of the Executive's
death and shall be payable to his estate or named beneficiary. The benefits
payable or to be provided under this Agreement shall cease in the event of the
Executive's election to commence retirement benefits under the Company's
retirement plan.

         (h) LIMITATION ON AMOUNT - Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement
to the contrary, any benefits payable or to be provided to the Executive by the
Company or its affiliates, whether pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise,
which are treated as Severance Payments shall be modified or reduced in the
manner provided in (h) below to the extent necessary so that the benefits
payable or to be provided to the Executive under this Agreement that are treated
as Severance Payments, as well as any payments or benefits provided outside of
this Agreement that are so treated, shall not cause the Company to have paid in
Excess Severance Payment. In computing such amount, the parties shall take into
account all provisions of Internal Revenue Code Section 280G, including making
appropriate adjustments to such calculation for amounts established to be
Reasonable Compensation.

         (i) MODIFICATION OF AMOUNT - In the event that the amount of any
Severance Payments that would be payable to or for the benefit of the Executive
under this Agreement must be modified or reduced to comply with this Section 2,
the Executive shall direct which Severance Payments are to be modified or
reduced; provided, however, that no increase in the amount of any payment or
change in the timing of the payment shall be made without the consent of the
Company.

         (j) AVOIDANCE OF PENALTY TAXES - This Section 2 shall be interpreted so
as to avoid the imposition of excise taxes on the Executive under Section 4999
of the Code or the disallowance of a deduction to the Company pursuant to
Section 280G(a) of the Code with respect to amounts payable under this Agreement
or otherwise.

         (k) ADDITIONAL LIMITATION - In addition to the limits otherwise
provided in this Section 2, to the extent permitted by law, the Executive may in
his sole discretion elect to reduce any payments he may be eligible to receive
under this Agreement to prevent the imposition of excise taxes on the Executive
under Section 4999 of the Code.
<PAGE>   7
         (l) NO OBLIGATION TO FUND - The agreement of the Company (or its
successor) to make payments to the Executive hereunder shall represent solely
the unsecured obligation of the Company (and its successor), except to the
extent the Company (or its successors) in its sole discretion elects in whole or
in part to fund its obligations under this Agreement pursuant to a trust
arrangement or otherwise.
