                  Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                  ------------------------------------------



Note 1 -   The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have
           been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and,
           therefore, do not include all information and footnotes required by
           generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
           statements. The interim financial statements have been prepared
           utilizing the interim basis of reporting and, as such, reflect all
           adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a
           fair presentation of the results for the periods presented. The
           results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily
           indicative of the results for the full year.


           The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
           accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
           and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
           liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
           the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
           revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results
           could differ from those estimates.


Note 2 -   The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement of
           Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, Disclosures About Fair Value
           of Financial Instruments (SFAS 107). SFAS 107 extends existing fair
           value disclosure practices for some instruments by requiring all
           entities to disclose the fair value of financial instruments, both
           assets and liabilities recognized and not recognized in the balance
           sheets, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value, for
           annual periods ending after December 15, 1992, except for entities
           with less than $150 million in total assets, for which the effective
           date is for annual periods ending after December 15, 1995. The
           Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 107 in December 1995.


Note 3 -   On January 1, 1995, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
           Accounting Standards No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment
           of a Loan (SFAS 114) and Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a
           Loan--Income Recognition and Disclosures (SFAS 118). These accounting
           standards require that impaired loans within the scope of the
           statement be measured and reported on the basis of the present value
           of expected cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest
           rate. The adoption of SFAS 114 and 118 has had no material effect on
           the Company's consolidated financial statements.


Note 4 -   Investments: On January 1, 1995, the Company adopted Statement of
           Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, Accounting for Certain
           Investments in Debt and Equity Securities (SFAS 115). The Company
           followed the criteria specified in Statement 115, to segregate and
           report its holdings of debt and equity securities at September
           30,1996 into two applicable categories: held-to-maturity (HTM) and
           available-for-sale (AFS).

ITEM 2:    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

A.   Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996, as
     ----------------------------------------------------------------------
     Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 1995
     ----------------------------------------------------

General
-------
     The following discussion provides an overview of the financial condition
and results of operations of United Financial Banking Companies, Inc. (UFBC) and
its subsidiaries, which is presented on a consolidated basis. UFBC reported a
net loss of $539,073 for the nine month period ended September 30, 1996. This
compares with a loss of $669,564 for the same period of 1995. Earnings (loss)
per share were ($.19) for the first nine months ended September 30, 1996,
compared to ($.24) for the first nine months of 1995.

     During the nine month period ended September 30, 1996, UFBC's primary
subsidiary, The Business Bank (the Bank), significantly increased the Company's
asset base. As of September 30, 1996, average total assets increased $7,234,000
or 19.6% when compared to the comparable period of September 30, 1995
(Consolidated Average Balances table). The increase has favorably contributed to
the Company's earnings. However, the Company's Real Estate Owned (REO) which are
unearning assets, and related holding costs continue to hinder the Company's
progress towards profitability. At September 30, 1996, REO was $5,280,000 or
12.0% of the Company's total assets (Consolidated Balance Sheets). Management
continues to focus on REO liquidation and as of September 30, 1996 had REO
contracts (both firm and pending) totaling approximately $1,504,000. Although
there can be no assurance of settlement, management anticipates that these
contracts will close and settle during 1996.

     On August 27, 1996, the Internal Revenue Service began an audit of the
Company's federal income tax return (form 1120) for the years ending December
31, 1993, 1994 and 1995. As of November 4, 1996, the audit is limited to
specific line items and is expected to conclude by December 31, 1996. Management
does not anticipate any material changes to the returns which would result in
additional liabilities and penalties or which would alter the Company's current
tax position.

Net Interest Income
-------------------
     For the nine month period ended September 30, 1996, net interest income
increased $321,000 or 54.4% from $589,000 at September 30, 1995 to $910,000 at
September 30, 1996. The increase is primarily attributable to the increased loan
volume in the Bank. As shown in the Consolidated Average Balances table, the
average total loan/lease volume increased $8,248,000 or 45.8% from $18,023,000
at September 30, 1995 to $26,271,000 at September 30, 1996. Due to the increased
loan volume, interest and fees on loans rose $502,000 or 38.6% as of the nine
month period ended September 30, 1996 when compared to the comparable period of
1995 which favorably impacted net interest income.

     For the same comparable period, average total earning assets increased
$9,868,000 or 41.9% (Consolidated Average Balances table). As a result of the
increased volume of assets available, the Company earned significantly more
interest on investment securities and interest-bearing deposits for the three
and nine month periods ended September 30, 1996 as shown in the Consolidated
Statements of Income. These earnings also contributed to the increased net
interest income at September 30, 1996 when compared to September 30, 1995.

     For the three month period ended September 30, 1996 when compared to the
three month period ended September 30, 1995, interest income from federal funds
sold declined $56,800 or 55.3%. The drop resulted from a substantial change in
the investment mix, such as loans, securities or federal

                                       7
<PAGE>
 
funds, chosen by management during the comparable periods.

     Interest expense on deposits increased $176,000 or 18.6% at September 30,
1996 when compared to the period ended September 30, 1995. The nine month
comparative increase is attributable to deposit growth in the Bank. Interest
expense on deposits for the three month comparative periods ended September 30,
1996 and 1995 reflects management's continuing plan and efforts to alter the
Bank's deposit mix to obtaining more demand or low interest-bearing deposits.
The implementation of management's plan for the Bank's deposit mix is the reason
that the expense incurred for interest on deposits for the three month period
ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 remains level despite the Bank's deposit
growth during the three month period ended September 30, 1996.

Provision for Loan/Lease Losses
-------------------------------
     During the first nine months of 1996, the Bank replenished its allowance by
charging $146,000 against earnings compared to $87,000 charged against earnings
during the first nine months of 1995. The parent company, UFBC, reversed its
provision for loan/lease losses $250,000 in the nine months ended September 30,
1995 as a result of improved loan quality.

Non-Interest Income
-------------------
     Total noninterest income decreased 1.8% for the nine months ended September
30, 1996 compared to the comparable period of 1995. When comparing the three
month periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, the gain or loss on the sale of
REO increased $165,000 due to net losses on the sale of REO in the Bank and in
the North Ocean City project during the three month period ended September 30,
1995.

Non-Interest Expense
--------------------
     Total noninterest expense decreased $124,000 or 7.7% for the first nine
months of 1996 when compared to the same period of 1995. The decline is due
principally to the Company's restructuring and management's continuing efforts
to curtail expenses. As a result of an employee settlement during the nine month
period ended September 30, 1995, the Company realized a gain of approximately
$163,000. This gain reversed accrued expense and explains the variance in
employee benefits for the nine month period ended September 30, 1996 when
compared to the same period of 1995.

     For the nine month period ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the
comparable period of 1995, occupancy expense decreased $27,000 or 21.0% due to
the Bank's consolidation into one location and the subletting of excess space.
Furniture and equipment expense dropped $49,000 or 58.8% during the same period
as a result of the Bank's purchase of new equipment and the decision to out
source the Bank's proof operations. These changes significantly reduced the cost
of repairing aged equipment which was principally associated with the Bank's
proof operations. Additionally, during the three month period ended September
30, 1996 many Company fixed assets became fully depreciated.

     Legal expense declined $128,000 or 58.9% for the nine month period ended
September 30, 1996 when compared to the comparable period ended September 30,
1995. The decline is principally attributable to significantly reduced
litigation expense in the parent during the first nine months of 1996. During
the first nine months of 1995, the parent, as plaintiff, incurred substantial
litigation expense associated with the subsidiary, Omni Homes, Inc.

     FDIC insurance expense increased 14.6% from $55,600 at September 30, 1995
to $63,700 at September 30, 1995 as a result of the Bank's deposit growth during
the same comparable period.

     For the first nine months of 1996 when compared to the same period of 1995,
other expense

                                       8
<PAGE>
 
increased $61,000 or 19.3%. The increase is primarily attributable to an
accounting change for costs associated with the North Ocean City project. Prior
to May 31, 1996, most of the North Ocean City costs were capitalized as
appropriate during the development phase of a construction project. However,
once development was completed subsequent costs associated with the project were
expensed.

Income Taxes
------------
     In 1993, the rate that UFBC accrued its tax benefit differed from the
statutory tax rate based on the inability of UFBC to use its losses to reduce
deferred taxes or to record a tax benefit. At the end of 1993, all of UFBC's
accrued tax benefits were eliminated due to UFBC's inability to demonstrate
capacity for their future use. As a result, until such time that UFBC
demonstrates a capacity for their future use, UFBC will not be able to accrue
tax benefits. UFBC has accrued no tax benefits for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996.

B. Financial Condition as of September 30, 1996
   --------------------------------------------

Assets
------
     Total assets grew $760,000 or 1.8% during the first nine months of 1996
when compared to the period ended December 31, 1995. The rise in assets is
primarily attributable to the Bank's increased volume of loans. Net loans and
lease financing increased $5,283,000 or 22.3% to $28,695,00 at September 30,
1996 from $23,412,000 at December 31, 1995.

Allowance for Loan/Lease Losses
-------------------------------
     The allowance for loan/lease losses (allowance) represents an amount which
management believes will be adequate to absorb potential losses inherent in the
loan/lease portfolio. The provision for loan losses represents the charge to
earnings during the year to cover potential future losses. The amount charged to
expense during the year is dependent upon management's assessment of the
adequacy of the allowance. Principal factors in management's evaluation include
prior loss experience, changes in the composition and volume of the portfolio,
overall portfolio quality, the value of underlying collateral, reviews of
portfolio quality by state and federal supervisory authorities, specific problem
loans, and current and anticipated economic conditions that may affect a
borrower's ability to repay.

     At September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, the allowance was $515,000 and
$463,000 or 1.8% and 1.9%, respectively, of total loans and leases.
Nonperforming loans for the nine month period ended September 30, 1996 totaled
$328,000, of which $307,000 resided in the Bank. This compares to a balance of
$403,000 in nonperforming loans as of December 31, 1995. The consolidated
allowance for loan/lease losses covers nonperforming loans 1.68 times at
September 30, 1996, compared to a coverage of 1.15 times at year end 1995.

Real Estate Owned
-----------------
     REO decreased $2,633,000 or 33.3% during the nine month period ended
September 30, 1996. The Bank sold four properties and several lots in two
parcels which reduced the REO balance approximately $3,106,000 during the first
nine months of 1996. During the same period, the Bank invested $1,330,000 to
further develop one REO project and foreclosed on three loans totaling
approximately $811,000. During the first nine months of 1996, UFBC's subsidiary,
Business Venture Capital, Inc. (BVCI) invested $3,059,000 to complete
development of the final phase of the North Ocean City project. The final phase
consists of forty-one town home units of which forty have been sold. As of
September 30, 1996, thirty-seven town home unit contracts were settled, thereby
reducing REO by $4,715,000. Although there can be no assurance, management
anticipates that the remaining unit will be sold and settled by the end of
December 1996. The sale and settlement of the remaining 4 units will reduce the
September 30, 1996 consolidated REO by $494,000 or 9.4%.

                                       9

Liabilities
-----------
     Total deposits increased $2,217,000 or 5.9% during the first nine months of
1996 when compared to the year ended 1995. During the nine months ended
September 30, 1996, the deposit mix changed as savings, NOW and money market
accounts dropped $1,395,000 or 15.7% from $8,885,000 at December 31, 1995 to
$7,490,000 at September 30, 1996 while demand deposits grew $2,446,000 or 34.8%
during the same comparable period. During the nine month period ended September
30, 1996, BVCI utilized and repaid a short-term line of $3,000,000 used to fund
the completion of the final phase of the North Ocean City project (project).
Additionally, BCVI utilized and repaid an unsecured line of $367,000 to fund a
portion of town home construction cost. As in 1995, BVCI used proceeds from the
sales of the condominium town homes to repay the $3,000,000 and $367,000 line.
Also utilizing town home sales proceeds, the Company repaid $550,000 of other
Company short-term borrowings.

Liquidity and Investment
------------------------
     Since January 1994, operational expenses of UFBC have been provided
primarily by liquidation of assets. UFBC's working capital is significantly
limited by the inability to receive dividends from the Bank subsidiary, which
has been operating at a loss. Accordingly, UFBC's ability to meet its short-term
obligations continues to depend on the liquidation of REO and loan payments of
approximately $21,000 per quarter.

     Consolidated average liquid assets were 19.9% of average total assets at
September 30, 1996 compared to 19.6% for the same period ended September 30,
1995 and 21.4% at December 31, 1995 (Consolidated Average Balances table). The
Company's liquidity needs exist primarily in the Bank subsidiary. In order to
maintain adequate liquidity, the Bank purchases certain traditional assets such
as government and other investment securities. The Bank's securities portfolio
comprises U.S. Treasury securities, U.S. Government agency securities and
interest-bearing deposits placed with financial institutions. The Bank is
strategically growing its securities portfolio to ensure safe levels of
liquidity, to enhance the overall credit quality of its asset base and to
generate increased interest income. The securities portfolio includes both
instruments available-for-sale and those held-to-maturity. Securities classified
as available-for-sale may be sold in response to changes in market interest
rates, changes in prepayment or extension risk, management of the federal tax
position, liquidity needs and other asset/liability management issues.
Securities classified as held-to-maturity are intended for investment purposes.

     At September 30, 1996, the Bank's investment portfolio consisted of the
following:

</TABLE> 


Regulatory Agreements and Compliance
------------------------------------
     On August 12, 1993, the Business Bank (Bank), UFBC's main subsidiary,
consented to the issuance of a Cease and Desist Order (Order) by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and by the Virginia Commissioner of
Financial Institutions. On December 31, 1993, UFBC entered into a written
agreement (Agreement) with the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond and the
Commissioner of Financial Institutions, Bureau of Financial Institutions of the
Commonwealth of Virginia. The Order and the Agreement address various areas of
operation in the Company, most specifically the Bank, and required the Board of
Directors and management to complete and to perform several specific directives.

                                       10
<PAGE>
 
The Order and the Agreement also include provisions to monitor the Company's
progress toward profitability. As of September 30, 1996, management believes
that the Company is in substantial compliance with all terms and provisions of
the Order and the Agreement.

Capital Requirements
--------------------
     In 1989, banking regulators issued risk-based capital guidelines applicable
to all bank holding companies and their bank subsidiaries. The guidelines were
established to provide a more effective method for measuring adequate capital in
banking organizations. Off-balance sheet items are converted into an asset
equivalent amount. On- and off-balance sheet items are weighed by degree of risk
to derive total risk-adjusted assets. Two tiers of capital are defined. Tier I
(Core) capital is equity less certain intangibles, plus minority interests in
subsidiaries. In addition, Tier II (Total) capital also includes an allowable
portion of the allowance for loan losses. Tier I and Total capital ratios are
required to be 4% and 8% of risk-adjusted assets, respectively. Regulatory
agencies issued additional guidelines in 1990 to require Tier I capital as a
percentage of average total assets (Leverage ratio) to be a minimum of 3%, with
most institutions required to be at least 4% to 5% depending upon risk profiles
and other factors. UFBC's Tier I, Total capital and Leverage ratios at December
31, 1995 and September 30, 1996 were 11.0%, 12.2% and 8.4%, and 9.2%, 10.4% and
7.1%, respectively. The Bank maintained ratios above the standard regulatory
required minimum levels and was in compliance with the capital ratio terms of
the Order as of December 31, 1995 and September 30, 1996.

matters; and

           (k)   any other powers, preferences and relative, participating,
optional and other special rights, and any qualifications, limitations and
restrictions thereof, insofar as they are not inconsistent with the provisions

           In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Corporation, after there shall have been paid to or set aside for the holders of

the Preferred Stock, the holders of the Preferred Stock shall have no claim to
any of the remaining assets of the Corporation.

           The power, preferences and relative, participating, optional and
other special rights of each series of Preferred Stock, and the qualifications,
limitations or restriction thereof, if any, may differ from those of any and all

series shall be equal in all respects.

     4.    Stockholders of the corporation shall not have the preemptive right

Corporation's initial registered agent shall be Lathan M. Ewers, Jr., whose
address is the same as the corporations's registered office and who is a
resident of Virginia and a member of the Virginia State Bar.

     6.    The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or
under the direction of a Board of Directors consisting of not less than six nor
more than twelve Directors, the exact number of Directors to be determined from
time to time by resolution adopted by the affirmative vote of a majority of the
Directors then in office or at least two-thirds of the shares entitled to vote
at a meeting of shareholders. The Directors shall be divided into three classes,
designated as Class I, Class II, and Class III. Each class shall consist, as
nearly as may be possible, of one-third of the total number of Directors
constituting the entire Board of Directors. At the 1990 Annual Meeting of
Shareholders, Class I Directors shall be elected for a one-year term, Class II
Directors for a two-year term and Class III Directors for a three-year term. At
each succeeding Annual Meeting of Shareholders beginning in 1991, successors to
the class of Directors whose term expires at that annual meeting shall be
elected for a three-year term. If the number of Directors has changed, any
increase or decrease shall be apportioned among the classes so as to maintain
the number of Directors in each class as nearly equal as possible, but in no
case will a decrease in the number of Directors shorten the term of any
incumbent Director. A Director shall hold office until the annual meeting for
the year in which his term expires and until his successor shall be elected,
subject, however, to prior death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or
removal from office. Notwithstanding the foregoing, whenever the holders of
Preferred Stock or one or more series of Preferred Stock issued by the
Corporation shall have the right, voting separately by class or series to elect
Directors at an annual or special meeting of shareholders, the election, term of
office, filling of vacancies and other features of such Directorships shall be
governed by the terms of these Articles of Incorporation applicable thereto, and
such Directors so elected shall not be divided into classes pursuant to this
Article 6 unless expressly provided by such terms. If the office of any Director
shall become vacant, the Directors, at the time in office, whether or not a
quorum, may, by majority vote of the Directors then in office, choose a
successor who shall hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders.
In such event, the successor elected by the shareholders at that annual meeting
shall hold office for a term that shall coincide with the remaining term of the
class of Directors to which that person has been elected. Vacancies resulting
from the increase in the number of Directors shall be filled in the same manner.
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Articles of Incorporation or the
Bylaws, the affirmative vote of at lease two-thirds of the outstanding shares
entitled to vote shall be required to amend, alter, change or repeal, or to
adopt any provisions inconsistent with the purpose and intent of this Article 6.

     7.    Except as otherwise now or hereafter specifically provided for
herein, the vote of the Corporation's Common Stock required to approve an
amendment to the Corporations's Articles of Incorporation shall be a majority of
all such shares.

                           ARTICLES OF AMENDMENT TO
                         THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION
                                      OF
                   UNITED FINANCIAL BANKING COMPANIES, INC.

     In accordance with the provisions of Section 13.1-607 of the Virginia Stock
Corporation Act, as amended, United Financial Banking Companies, Inc. (the
"Company") does hereby deliver to the State Corporation Commission for filing
these Articles of Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation of the Company,
which shall be effective upon filing:

     Article 3 of the Articles of Incorporation of the Company is hereby amended
to include at the end thereof a new section defining and determining the terms
of a new series of preferred stock, reading as follows:

"Series A Preferred Stock. (a) Designation. The series of preferred stock shall
be designated and known as "Series A Preferred Stock."

     (b) Number of Shares. The Series A Preferred Stock shall consist of up to
nine hundred (900) shares of the authorized preferred stock, without par value,
of the Corporation.

     (c) Dividends and Distributions. Subject to the prior or superior rights of
the holders of any shares of any series of preferred stock ranking prior or
superior to the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to dividends, whether now
existing or hereafter created, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock
shall be entitled to receive, as and when declared by the Board of Directors,
prior to payment of any cash dividends on any class of Common Stock or other
class of stock junior to the Series A Preferred Stock during the quarter to
which such dividend relates, out of funds legally available therefore, dividends
in an amount per share equal to ten percent (10%) of the Original Purchase Price
of the Series A Preferred Stock (as hereinafter defined) divided by four.
Dividends shall be cumulative from the date of issuance, whether or not declared
by the Board of Directors, and shall be payable quarterly on the first day of
January, April, July and October of each year (each a "Dividend Payment Date")
commencing on the first Dividend Payment Date after the issuance of any shares
of Series A Preferred Stock. For purposes hereof the "Original Purchase Price of
the Series A Preferred Stock" shall be one thousand five hundred dollars
($1,500) per share of Series A Preferred Stock. In the event that the
corporation shall at any time declare and pay or effect in respect of the Series
A Preferred Stock any stock split, (whether or not in the form of a stock
dividend), reverse stock split, or other reclassification or combination of the
Series A Preferred Stock or other transaction (including a merger, consolidation
or share exchange) which has the effect of increasing or decreasing the number
of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, then the Original Purchase Price of the
Series A Preferred Stock shall be deemed to have been proportionately adjusted
to reflect such transaction or event. In the event that any share of Series A
Preferred Stock is outstanding for only a part of the quarterly period preceding
any Dividend Payment Date, then the dividend payable with respect to such share
shall be prorated for the period such share was outstanding during such period,
except that the dividend payable on January 1, 1997 shall not be so prorated and
shall consist of the full amount that would be payable if the shares of Series A
Preferred Stock had been outstanding for the entire quarterly period preceding
such date. Dividends declared and paid in an amount less than the total amount
payable on all shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be allocated pro rata
among the shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding.

     (d) Voting Rights. Except as may be expressly required by the laws of
general applicability of the Commonwealth of Virginia, and except as otherwise
provided in this paragraph (d) the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall
not be entitled to vote on any matter submitted for the vote of stockholders,
including but not limited to the election of directors. In the event that there
shall have occurred an Event of Default (as hereinafter defined) then,
notwithstanding any other provision of the articles of incorporation of the
Corporation, the terms of office of the members of the Board of Directors of the
Corporation shall cease to be staggered, the term of office of each member of
the Board of Directors shall terminate at the next election of directors,
whether such election is at an annual meeting or at a special or extraordinary
meeting called for the purpose of the election of directors, and the holders of
the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class,
by the action of the holders of a majority of such shares, shall be entitled to
elect that number of directors as shall constitute a majority of the Board of
Directors. Following the occurrence of an Event of Default, the holders of a
majority of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to call a special
meeting of shareholders for the purpose of the election of directors. For
purposes hereof, an "Event of Default" shall exist

                                       17

                                                                       EXHIBIT 3

if the Corporation shall fail, for any reason whatsoever, to redeem (or to call
for redemption and deposit sufficient funds for purposes of effecting the
redemption with an independent depositary or escrow agent) all outstanding
shares of Series A Preferred Stock, and to have paid all accrued dividends on
the Series A Preferred Stock, by September 30, 2001. The right of the Series A
Preferred Stock to elect a majority of the Board of Directors following the
occurrence of an Event of Default shall continue until the later of (I)
September 30, 2001 or (ii) the redemption of all outstanding shares of Series A
Common Stock. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the
exercise of the right of the Series A Preferred Stock to call a special meeting
for the purpose of the election of directors and to elect a majority of the
Board of Directors following the occurrence of an Event of Default shall be
subject to the receipt of any required consents or approvals of the Federal
Reserve Board, the Virginia Commissioner of Financial Institutions, or any other
bank regulatory agency having jurisdiction. Additionally, whether or not a vote
of shareholders of any class is required by law or by any other provision
hereof, the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than a majority of the
outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be required prior to the
issuance of any shares of a class or series of stock which would have rights as
to dividends or liquidation prior or superior to the Series A Preferred Stock.

     (e) Redemption. Shares of the Series A Preferred Stock may be redeemed, in
whole or in part, at the option and in the sole discretion only of the
Corporation, at any time or from time to time, without notice, at a redemption
price equal to the Original Purchase Price of the Series A Preferred Stock, as
adjusted in accordance with the provision of (C) above plus dividends accrued
but unpaid prior to the date of redemption (the "Redemption Price").
Additionally, all outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be
redeemed by the Corporation at the Redemption Price on September 30, 2001. Any
such redemption shall be subject to the receipt by the Corporation of any
required prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board or other regulatory agency
having jurisdiction over the Corporation and its subsidiaries. Provided that
sufficient funds to effect the redemption have been deposited with an
independent depositary or escrow agent, then at the time of such redemption as
specified in the resolution of the Board of Directors authorizing such
redemption or September 30, 2001, as applicable, all rights of the holders of
the Series A Preferred Stock redeemed shall terminate, except for the right to
receive the Redemption Price.

     (f) Sinking Fund. The Corporation shall not be required to establish or
make payments into, and the Series A Preferred Stock shall not enjoy the benefit
of, any sinking, reserve or other segregated fund for the redemption of the
Series A Preferred Stock.

     (g) Restrictions on Repurchase. The Corporation shall not, at any time
while any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, purchase,
repurchase, redeem, or otherwise reacquire for value, any shares of Common Stock
or other class of stock junior to the Series A Preferred Stock, provided,
however, that nothing contained in this paragraph (g) shall prevent the
Corporation from acquiring any shares of Common Stock or other class of stock
junior to the Series A Preferred Stock as a result of, or in connection with the
satisfaction of a debt previously contracted in good faith.

     (h) Conversion. The Series A Preferred Stock shall not be convertible into
or otherwise exchangeable for shares of any other class of stock or securities
of the Corporation.

     (i) Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up. Subject to the prior or
superior rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock ranking prior or
superior to the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to liquidation, whether
now existing or hereafter created, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding
up of the corporation, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be
entitled to receive, prior to the payment of any amounts in liquidation,
dissolution or winding up in respect of any Common Stock or other class of stock
junior to the Series A Preferred Stock, but after the payment or provision for
all amounts due to creditors of the corporation, an amount per share equal to
the Original Purchase Price of the Series A Preferred Stock as adjusted in
accordance with the provisions of (C) above, plus the amount of any dividends
accrued but unpaid as of the date of such liquidation, dissolution or winding
up. Following receipt of such amount, the holders of the Series A Preferred
Stock shall have no right to receive any other amounts in connection with the
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the corporation.

     (j) Preemptive Rights. The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall
not have any preemptive or preferential right to acquire any shares of any class
of capital stock of the corporation, whether now or hereafter authorized, except
as the Board of Directors may specifically provide.
