         RE:      WEST GEORGIA NATIONAL BANK ("WGNB") EMPLOYMENT OF STEVEN J.
                  HAACK ("EMPLOYEE")

Dear Mr. Haack:

         The purpose of this letter is to set forth the new terms upon which
WGNB agrees to employ you and under which you agree to be employed at WGNB.

         SERVICES. The services you will now perform for WGNB are as follows:
Chief Financial Officer as described in the attached Job Description (Exhibit
"A"). Of course, your responsibilities may change from time to time based on
determinations made by the board of directors or more senior officers. At this
time, you will report to L. Leighton Alston, the Chief Executive Officer.

         TERM. This Agreement is for a term of two (2) years and may be extended
for one additional year if neither party gives notice of termination more than
ninety (90) days before the expiration of the initial term.

         COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS. You will be compensated in exchange for your
services and the other agreements made in this letter. From the time you agree
to the terms of this letter until such time that this letter is amended or such
time that your employment is terminated, WGNB will pay you for your services at
a rate of $84,999.98 annually. Your compensation will be reviewed during your
annual performance review, and may be increased based on a number of factors
within the discretion of WGNB, including your performance and WGNB's
performance. You will be reimbursed for all reasonable expenses incurred in the
course of business. Because WGNB will have the sole right to determine what is
reasonable, we recommend that before incurring expenses, you consult with Mr.
Alston or whomever you report to at the time the expense may be incurred. You
are eligible to receive the benefits WGNB offers to employees of your level. In
addition, so long as you are employed by WGNB, we will reimburse your dues for a
membership at Sunset Hills Country Club and provide you with $50.00 per month in
gas chits. You are also eligible to receive compensation as set forth in the
Executive Compensation Plan and the Bonus and Stock Option Plan. You may also be
permitted to participate in other plans at the discretion of the Board of
Directors or a committee thereof.

         PROPRIETARY AND TRADE SECRET INFORMATION. You also acknowledge and
agree that during the term of this Agreement, you will have access to trade
secrets and other confidential information peculiar to WGNB's business, the
disclosure or use of which would injure WGNB's business. Therefore, you agree
that you will not at any time during or for two years after the term of this
Agreement, use, reveal, or divulge any trade secrets. In addition, you agree
that during the term of this Agreement and for a period of three years
thereafter, you will not use, reveal, or divulge any confidential information.
However, you shall not be required to keep confidential any trade secrets or
confidential information that is or becomes publicly available, is independently
developed by you outside of the scope of this Agreement, or is rightfully
obtained from third parties.

         COMPETITION. You acknowledge that as Chief Financial Officer, you shall
be engaged in certain activities for WGNB as described in the attached Job
Description (Exhibit "A"). You also acknowledge that you are performing these
activities for WGNB in Carroll County, Georgia (the "Territory"). You agree that
during your employment with WGNB, and for a period of twenty-four (24) months
thereafter, you shall not in any manner, directly or indirectly, render services
in the capacity of an officer, supervisor or manager (including supervisory or
managerial services performed as an advisor, consultant or independent
contractor), or render services substantially similar to services rendered by
you to WGNB in the specific area of WGNB's business in which you are involved in
the Territory.

         SOLICITATION OF CUSTOMERS. You also agree that during the term of your
employment, and for a period of twenty-four (24) months thereafter, you will
not, within the Territory, directly or indirectly, on your own behalf or on
behalf of or in conjunction with any person or legal entity other than WGNB,
actively solicit the business or patronage of any of the clients, customers or
accounts of WGNB served by you during the term of this Agreement.

         FORM OF RELIEF FOR CERTAIN BREACHES. In the event of your actual or
threatened breach of the preceding two paragraphs, WGNB, in addition to all
other rights, shall be entitled to an injunction restraining Employee therefrom.
Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting WGNB from pursuing any other
available remedy for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of
damages from Employee. This provision shall remain in full force and effect in
the event Employee should claim that WGNB violated any of the terms of this
Agreement.

         IMPACT OF TERMINATION CAUSES UPON COMPETITION AND SOLICITATION. Your
employment may terminate in one of two fashions: either you terminate your
employment, or WGNB terminates your employment.

         If you terminate your employment with WGNB for any reason, the
provisions of the sections regarding Competition and Solicitation of Customers
shall have full force and effect.

         WGNB may terminate your employment in one of two fashions: either with
cause, or without cause. A termination "with cause" under this section of this
letter agreement (as opposed to the next section which has a broader definition)
occurs when two conditions are satisfied. First,


                                       2
<PAGE>   3
there must be a "change in control." (A "Change of control" means any
transaction or series of related transactions, which result in (1) transfer of
more than 50% of the common stock of WGNB Corp., excluding mergers or
consolidations; (2) sale of all or substantially all of WGNB Corp.'s assets, or
(3) any merger or consolidation with another company where the surviving entity
is directly controlled by persons other than shareholders of WGNB Corp.) Second,
after a change in control and at any time before your last date of employment
with WGNB, you decline to serve WGNB in another position or function at any
location within the company without a reduction in salary.

         If WGNB terminates you without cause, then the provisions of the
sections regarding Competition and Solicitation of Customers shall have no force
and effect. If WGNB terminates you with cause as defined in this Section, those
provisions shall have full force and effect. Any termination that is not with
cause is without cause.

         IMPACT OF TERMINATION CAUSE UPON SEVERANCE COMPENSATION. This Section
applies only to termination of your employment by WGNB, as opposed to your own
termination of your employment. WGNB may terminate your employment in one of two
fashions: either with cause, or without cause. For the purposes of this Section,
termination with cause includes the definition in the preceding Section, and
also includes any other instance in which a similarly situated employer would
terminate employment, including but not limited to theft, dishonesty,
nonperformance and violation of policy. If you are terminated without cause you
shall receive upon such termination a lump-sum payment equal to twenty-four (24)
month's salary plus accrued vacation. If you are terminated with cause you will
receive no such lump sum.

         MISCELLANEOUS. This letter constitutes the entire agreement between the
parties and supersedes any prior understanding or agreement among them
respecting the subject matter hereof. There are no representations,
arrangements, understandings or agreements, oral or written, among the parties
hereto relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, except those fully
expressed herein. No waiver of any provision hereof will be valid or binding on
the parties hereto, and no waiver on one occasion shall be deemed to be a waiver
of the same or any other provision hereof in the future. Should any part of this
Agreement, for any reason, be declared invalid by an arbitrator or a court of
competent jurisdiction, such decision or determination shall not affect the
validity of any remaining portion, and such remaining portion shall remain in
force and effect as if this Agreement had been executed with the invalid portion
eliminated; provided, that in the event of declaration of invalidity, the
provision declared invalid shall not be invalidated in its entirety, but shall
be observed and performed by the parties to the extent such provision is valid
and enforceable. This Agreement may only be amended in writing, signed by all of
the parties. This Agreement may be assigned by WGNB to any parent, subsidiary or
successor-in-interest without consent of Employee. This Agreement shall be
governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, and all disputes arising out of or
relating to this Agreement shall be litigated in Federal Court in the State of
Georgia or State Court in Carroll County, State of Georgia. The parties to this
Agreement consent to jurisdiction and venue in those courts.
