Stock Option Grant (the "Notice") in Section I. above (the "Optionee"),
an option (the "Option") to purchase the number of Shares set
forth in the Notice, at the exercise price per Share set forth in the Notice
(the "Exercise Price"), and subject to the terms and conditions
of the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference.  In the event of a
conflict between the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Stock Option

                        (b)        If
designated in the Notice of Stock Option Grant as an Incentive Stock Option ("ISO"),
this Option is intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option as defined in
Section 422 of the Code.  Nevertheless, to the extent that it exceeds the
$100,000 rule of Code Section 422(d), this Option shall be treated as a
Non-Qualified Stock Option ("NSO").

            2.         Exercise
of Option.

                        (a)        Right
to Exercise.  This Option shall be exercisable during its term in

Grant and with the applicable provisions of the Plan and this Stock Option
Agreement.

                        (b)        Method
of Exercise.  This Option shall be exercisable by delivery of an exercise
notice in the form attached as Exhibit A (the "Exercise Notice")
which shall state the election to exercise the Option, the number of Shares
with respect to which the Option is being exercised (the "Exercised
Shares"), and such other representations and agreements as may be
required by the Company. The Exercise Notice shall be accompanied by payment of
the aggregate Exercise Price as to all Exercised Shares.  This Option shall be
deemed to be exercised upon receipt by the Company of such fully executed
Exercise Notice accompanied by the aggregate Exercise Price.

            3.         Optionee's
Representations.  In the event the Shares have not been registered under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), at
the time this Option is exercised, the Optionee shall, if required by the
Company, concurrently with the exercise of all or any portion of this Option,
deliver to the Company his or her Investment Representation Statement in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit B.

            4.         Method
of Payment.  Payment of the aggregate Exercise Price shall be by any of the

                        (b)        Shares
surrendered to the Company in a Cashless Exercise; or

                        (c)        surrender
of other Shares that, (i) in the case of Shares acquired upon exercise of an
option, have been owned by the Optionee for more than six months on the date of
surrender, and (ii) have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to
the aggregate Exercise Price of the Exercised Shares.

            5.         Restrictions
on Exercise.  This Option may not be exercised until such time as the
stockholders of the Company have approved the Plan, or if the issuance of such
Shares upon such exercise or the method of payment of consideration for such
shares would constitute a violation of any Applicable Law.

            6.         Non-Transferability
of Option.  This Option may not be transferred in any manner otherwise than
by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised during
the lifetime of Optionee only by Optionee.  The terms of the Plan and this
Stock Option Agreement shall be binding upon the executors, administrators,
heirs, successors and assigns of the Optionee.

            7.         Term
of Option.  This Option may be exercised only within the term set out in
the Notice of Stock Option Grant, and may be exercised during such term only in
accordance with the Plan and the terms of this Stock Option Agreement.

            8.         Entire
Agreement; Governing Law.  The Plan is incorporated herein by reference. 
The Plan and this Stock Option Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the
parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede in their
entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and Optionee with
respect to the subject matter hereof, and may not be modified adversely to the Optionee's
interest except by means of a writing signed by the Company and Optionee.  This
agreement is governed by the internal substantive laws but not the choice of
law rules of the State of Delaware.

            9.         No
Guarantee of Continued Service.  OPTIONEE ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT
THE VESTING OF SHARES PURSUANT TO THE VESTING SCHEDULE HEREOF IS EARNED ONLY BY
CONTINUING AS A SERVICE PROVIDER IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE OPTIONEE'S EMPOYMENT
AGREEMENT, IF ANY, OR OTHERWISE (NOT THROUGH THE ACT OF BEING HIRED, BEING
GRANTED THIS OPTION OR ACQUIRING SHARES HEREUNDER).  OPTIONEE FURTHER
ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED
HEREUNDER AND THE VESTING SCHEDULE SET FORTH HEREIN DO NOT CONSTITUTE AN
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED PROMISE OF CONTINUED ENGAGEMENT AS A SERVICE PROVIDER FOR
THE VESTING PERIOD, FOR ANY PERIOD, OR AT ALL, AND SHALL NOT INTERFERE IN ANY
WAY WITH OPTIONEE'S RIGHT OR THE COMPANY'S RIGHT TO TERMINATE OPTIONEE'S
RELATIONSHIP AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT ANY TIME IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
OPTIONEE'S EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT, IF ANY, OR OTHERWISE AT ANY TIME, WITH OR
WITHOUT CAUSE.

STATEMENT

 

OPTIONEE:      Frank J. Fradella                          

COMPANY:     Home
Solutions of America, Inc.

SECURITY:      Common
Stock

AMOUNT:        $__________________________    

DATE:               __________________________

            In
connection with the purchase of the above-listed Securities, the undersigned Optionee
represents to the Company the following:

1.   Optionee is aware of the Company's business
affairs and financial condition and has acquired sufficient information about
the Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the
Securities.  Optionee is acquiring these Securities for investment for Optionee's
own account only and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any
"distribution" thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act").

2.   Optionee acknowledges and understands that the
Securities constitute "restricted securities" under the Securities Act and have
not been registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon a specific
exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona
fide nature of Optionee's investment intent as expressed herein.  In this
connection, Optionee understands that, in the view of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, the statutory basis for such exemption may be unavailable if Optionee's
representation was predicated solely upon a present intention to hold these
Securities for the minimum capital gains period specified under tax statutes,
for a deferred sale, for or until an increase or decrease in the market price
of the Securities, or for a period of one year or any other fixed period in the
future.  Optionee further understands that the Securities must be held
indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act
or an exemption from such registration is available.  Optionee further
acknowledges and understands that the Company is under no obligation to
register the Securities.  Optionee understands that the certificate evidencing
the Securities will be imprinted with a legend that prohibits the transfer of
the Securities unless they are registered or such registration is not required
in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company and any other legend
required under applicable state securities laws.

 

B-1

 

3.   Optionee is familiar with the provisions of
Rule 144, promulgated under the Securities Act, which, in substance,
permits limited public resale of "restricted securities" acquired, directly or
indirectly from the issuer thereof, in a non-public offering subject to the
satisfaction of certain conditions.  The Securities may be resold in certain
limited circumstances subject to the provisions of Rule 144, which
requires the resale to occur not less than one year after the later of the
date the Securities were sold by the Company or the date the Securities were
sold by an affiliate of the Company, within the meaning of Rule 144, and
the resale must take place in a manner described in (1) below; and, in the case
of acquisition of the Securities by an affiliate, or by a non-affiliate who
subsequently holds the Securities less than two years, the satisfaction of the
following conditions: (1) the resale is made through a broker in an unsolicited
"broker's transaction" or in transactions directly with a market maker (as
said term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), (2) the
availability of certain public information about the Company, (3) the amount of
Securities being sold during any three-month period not exceeding the
limitations specified in Rule 144(e), and (4) the timely filing of a Form 144.

4.   Optionee further understands that in the event
all of the applicable requirements of Rule 144 are not satisfied,
registration under the Securities Act or some other registration exemption will
be required; and that the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission has
expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell private placement
securities other than in a registered offering and otherwise than pursuant to
Rules 144 will have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an
exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales, and that
such persons and their respective brokers who participate in such transactions
do so at their own risk.  Optionee understands that no assurances can be given
that any such other registration exemption will be available in such event.

B-2EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

     This  EMPLOYMENT  AGREEMENT  (the "Agreement") is entered into on April 20,

Gwinnett,  a  national  bank  (the  "Bank"),  and  Terry C. Evans, an individual
resident of Georgia (the "Executive"), collectively the "Parties."

     WHEREAS,  the  Bank and the Executive previously entered into an Employment
Agreement, dated August 11, 1999 ("Prior Agreement"); and

     WHEREAS,  by  virtue  of  the  reorganization  of  the Bank effective as of
January  1,  2004, the Company has been established and is now a holding company
of all stock of the Bank (the "Reorganization"); and

     WHEREAS,  this  Agreement  is  intended  to  replace the Prior Agreement to
reflect  the  Reorganization and to add the Company as a party to the Employment
Agreement;  and

     WHEREAS,  the Company and the Bank (collectively, the "Employer") recognize
the  Executive's  contribution  to the growth and success of the Bank during its
initial  years  of  operation and acknowledge that the contribution has been and
will  continue  to  be  a  significant  factor  to the success of the Bank.  The
Employer  desires  to provide for the continued employment of the Executive in a
manner  that will reinforce and encourage the dedication of the Executive to the
Employer  and  promote  the best interests of the Employer and its shareholders;
And

     WHEREAS, the Employer and the Executive hereby agree that the establishment
of the Company and the Reorganization that led to its creation do not constitute
a Change in Control under this Agreement or the Prior Agreement.

<PAGE>
     NOW,  THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the mutual covenants of
the  Parties  contained  herein,  and other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties, intending
to  be  legally  bound,  hereby  agree  as  follows:

     1.   EMPLOYMENT.  The  Company  and the Bank shall employ the Executive and
the  Executive  shall  serve  the  Company  and  the Bank as President and Chief
Executive  Officer  of  both upon the terms and conditions set forth herein. The
Executive  shall  have  such  authority and responsibilities consistent with his
position  as are set forth in the Company's and the Bank's Bylaws or assigned by
the  Executive  Committee from time to time. The Executive shall devote his full
business  time,  attention, skills, and efforts to the performance of his duties
hereunder, except during periods of illness or periods of vacation and leaves of
absence  consistent  with  Company  and  Bank policies. The Executive may devote
reasonable  periods  to  service as a director or advisor to other organizations
and to charitable and community activities, provided that such activities do not
materially interfere with the performance of his duties hereunder and are not in
conflict  or  competitive  with, or adverse to, the interests of the Company and
the  Bank.

     2.   TERM.  Unless  earlier  terminated as provided herein, the Executive's
employment  under this Agreement shall commence on the date first written above,
and  be  for  a  term  ending  August  19,  2004  (the  "Term").

     3.   COMPENSATION  AND  BENEFITS.

          (a)  Base  Salary.  The Employer shall pay the Executive a Base Salary
               ------------
at  a  rate  of  not  less  than  One  Hundred  Twenty-Five  Thousand  Dollars
($125,000.00)  per  annum in accordance with the salary payment practices of the
Employer.  The  Executive  Committee shall review the Executive's Base Salary at
least  annually  and  may  increase  the  Executive's  Base

                                        2
<PAGE>
Salary  if it determines in its sole discretion that an increase is appropriate.
The  obligation  for payment of the Base Salary shall be apportioned between the
Company  and  the  Bank  as  they  may  agree  from  time  to time in their sole
discretion.

          (b)  Employee  Benefits.  The  Executive  shall  participate  in  any
               ------------------
retirement, welfare, deferred compensation, life and health insurance, and other
benefit  plans  or  programs  of the Employer now or hereafter applicable to the
Executive  or  applicable  generally  to  employees  of  the  Employer  and  as
established  by  Board  action.

          (c)  Long-Term  Equity  Compensation.  The Executive shall participate
               -------------------------------
in  the  Employer's  long-term  equity incentive program and be eligible for the
grant  of  stock options, restricted stock, and other awards thereunder or under
any  similar  plan  adopted  by  the  Bank  or  the  Company.  Prior  to  the
Reorganization  and the execution of this Agreement, the Bank had granted to the
Executive an option (the "Performance Option") to purchase a number of shares of
Common  Stock  of  the Bank equal to five percent (5.0%) of the number of shares
sold  in  its  initial offering. As a result of the Reorganization, the Employer
shall  substitute this award of Performance Option to purchase Bank Common Stock
for  a  comparable  award  of Performance Option to purchase Common Stock of the
Company.

               (i)   The award agreement for the Performance Option, as amended,
     shall  provide  that  three-fifths  (3/5ths)  of  the shares subject to the
     Performance  Option  are vested as of the effective date of this Agreement,
     and  that  an  additional  one-fifth  (1/5th)  of the shares subject to the
     Performance Option shall vest on the last day of each of the successive two
     (2)  fiscal  years  of  the  Bank's  operation.

               (ii)  For  each  fiscal year of the Bank ending after the date of
     this  Agreement, and as a condition to the vesting of the shares subject to
     the

                                        3
<PAGE>
     Performance  Option  in  such  year  (except  in  the  event of a Change in
     Control),  the  Bank  must  meet  the  following  performance  criteria:

                    (A)  the  Bank  shall meet or exceed ninety percent (90%) of
          the  budgeted net income after tax and the budgeted deposit growth for
          each  of  the  initial  five (5) fiscal years of the Bank based on the
          annual  budgets approved by the Board of the Bank for each such fiscal
          year;

                    (B)  the Bank shall maintain a regulatory examination rating
          of Camel 1 or 2; provided, however, that if the Bank does not meet the
          performance  criteria  for  any  year,  the  shares  subject  to  the
          Performance Option for such year may vest on any following fiscal year
          end  if,  in  the sole discretion of the Executive Committee, the Bank
          exceeds  the  performance  criteria  for  such  following  year.  The
          Executive  Committee  shall notify the Executive of any shares subject
          to  the  Performance  Option vested hereunder within a reasonable time
          after  the  fiscal  year  end  to which such options pertain. The good
          faith  determination  of the Executive Committee regarding whether the
          Bank  met  its  yearly  performance  levels  shall  be  conclusive.

              (iii)  In addition, the award agreement for the Performance Option

          which  the  parties agree is the fair market value of the Common Stock
          of  the  Company  as  of  the  date  of  Grant;  and

                    (C)  all  options shall be nontransferable and nonassignable
          by the Executive or by any other person entitled hereunder to exercise

               (iv)  Nothing  herein shall be deemed to preclude the granting to

     addition  to  the  options  granted  hereunder.

               (v)  Notwithstanding  anything  to the contrary contained in this
     Section  3(c), the Performance Option shall become fully vested on the last

     4.   TERMINATION.

          (a)  The Executive's employment under this Agreement may be terminated
prior  to  the  end  of  the  Term  only  as  follows:

               (i)   upon  the  death  of  the  Executive;

               (ii)  upon the disability of the Executive for a period of ninety
     (90)  days in any consecutive one hundred twenty (120) day period which, in
     the  opinion  of the Executive Committee, renders him unable to perform the
     essential  functions  of  his job and for which reasonable accommodation is
     unavailable. For purposes of this Agreement, a "disability" is defined as a
     physical  or  mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major
     life  activities,  and  a  "reasonable  accommodation" is one that does not
     impose  an  undue  hardship  on  the  Employer;

               (iii) by  the  Employer  for  Cause  upon delivery of a Notice of
     Termination  to  the  Executive;

               (iv)  by  the Executive for Good Reason upon delivery of a Notice
     of  Termination  to the Executive Committee within a ninety (90) day period
     beginning  on  the thirtieth (30th) day after the occurrence of a Change in
     Control  or  within  a  ninety

                                        6
<PAGE>
     (90)  day period beginning on the one-year anniversary of the occurrence of
     a  Change  in  Control;

               (v)   by the  Executive  for  other  than Good Reason pursuant to
     Section  4(a)(iv)  above,  effective  upon  the  thirtieth (30th) day after
     delivery  of  a Notice of Termination. If this occurs, all bonuses not paid
     shall  be  canceled.  The  Executive  Committee shall have the authority to
     dismiss  the  Executive  immediately  upon  receipt  of  the  Executive's
     resignation  and  pay  will  cease  immediately.

          (b)   If  the  Executive's  employment  is  terminated  because of the
Executive's death, the Executive's estate shall receive any sums due him as Base
Salary  and/or  reimbursement  of  expenses  through the end of the month during
which  death  occurred,  plus  any  bonus earned or accrued under the Bonus Plan
through  the date of death and a pro rata share of any bonus with respect to the
current  fiscal  year  which  had  been earned as of the date of the Executive's
death.

          (c)  During the period of any incapacity leading up to the termination
of  the  Executive's  employment  as  a result of disability, the Employer shall
continue  to  pay  the Executive his full Base Salary at the rate then in effect
and  all  other  benefits  (other  than  any  bonus) until the Executive becomes
eligible  for  benefits under any long-term disability plan or insurance program
maintained by the Employer, provided that the amount of any such payments to the
Executive  shall  be  reduced  by the sum of the amounts, if any, payable to the
Executive  for  the  same period under any disability benefit or pension plan of
the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Furthermore, the Executive shall receive
any bonus earned or accrued under the Bonus Plan through the date of incapacity.

                                        7
<PAGE>
          (d)  If the Executive's employment is terminated for Cause as provided
above,  or  if  the  Executive  resigns  (except for a termination of employment
pursuant  to  Section 4(a)(iv)), the Executive shall receive any sums due him as
Base  Salary  and/or  reimbursement  of  expenses  through  the  date  of  such
termination.  In  such  event, all vested stock options must be exercised within
ninety  (90)  days  of  termination  or  be  forfeited.

          (e)  If  the  Executive's  employment  is  terminated by the Executive
pursuant to Section 4(a)(iv), in addition to other rights and remedies available
in  law  or  equity,  the  Executive  shall  be  entitled  to  the  following:

               (i)   the Employer  shall  pay  the  Executive  in cash beginning
     within  fifteen  (15)  days  of the Termination Date severance compensation
     each  month for twelve (12) months in an amount equal to one twelfth (1/12)
     of  his  then  current  annual  Base Salary, plus a lump sum payment of the
     total  of  any  bonus  earned  or  accrued under the Bonus Plan through the
     Termination  Date  plus  a  pro rata share of any bonus with respect to the
     current  fiscal  year  that  has  been  earned  as of the Termination Date.

               (ii)  All  stock options and stock appreciation rights granted to
     the  Executive  shall  become  immediately exercisable and shall become one
     hundred percent (100%) vested. All options shall be exercisable at any time
     during  the ten (10) years following the date of initial public offering at
     a  price  per  share  equal  to  the  public offering price in the offering
     (subject to standard antidilution adjustments in the event of stock splits,
     dividends or combinations), that the Parties agree is the fair market value
     of  the  Common  Stock  of  the  Company  as  of  the  date  of  grant.

          (f)  With  the  exception of the provisions of this Section 4, and the
express terms of any benefit plan under which the Executive is a participant, it
is  agreed  that upon

                                        8
<PAGE>
termination  of  the  Executive's employment pursuant hereto, the Employer shall
have  no  obligation  to  the  Executive  for,  and  the  Executive  waives  and
relinquishes,  any  further  compensation  or  benefits  (exclusive  of  COBRA
benefits).

          (g)  In  the  event  that the Executive's employment is terminated for
any  reason,  the  Executive shall (and does hereby) tender his resignation as a
director  of  the  Company  and  the Bank, effective as of the Termination Date.

          (h)  The  parties  intend  that  the  severance  payments  and  other
compensation provided for herein are reasonable compensation for the Executive's
services  to  the  Employer and shall not constitute "excess parachute payments"
within  the  meaning of Section 280G of the Code and any regulations thereunder.

     5.   OWNERSHIP  of  Work.  The  Employer shall own all work product arising
during the course of the Executive's employment (prior, present, or future). For
purposes  hereof,  "Work  Product"  shall mean all intellectual property rights,
including  all  Trade  Secrets,  U.S.  and  international copyrights, patentable
inventions,  and  other  intellectual  property  rights,  in  any  programming,
documentation,  technology,  or other work product that relates to the Employer,
its  business,  or its customers, and that the Executive conceives, develops, or
delivers  to  the  Employer at any time during his employment, during or outside
normal  working  hours,  in  or  away  from  the facilities of the Employer, and
whether  or  not  requested  by  the  Employer. If the Work Product contains any
materials,  programming,  or  intellectual  property  rights  that the Executive
conceived  or  developed  prior to, and independent of, the Executive's work for
the  Employer,  the  Executive agrees to point out the pre-existing items to the
Employer  and  the  Executive  grants  the  Employer  a worldwide, unrestricted,
royalty-free  right, including the right to sublicense such items. The Executive
agrees  to  take  such  actions  and  execute  such  further

                                        9
<PAGE>
acknowledgments  and  assignments as the Employer may reasonably request to give
effect  to  this  provision.

     6.   PROTECTION  OF  TRADE  SECRETS.  The  Executive  agrees to maintain in
strict  confidence  and,  except  as  necessary  to  perform  his duties for the
Employer, the Executive agrees not to disclose any Trade Secrets of the Employer
during  his  employment or following the Executive's Termination Date so long as
he  is receiving compensation from the Employer, or, if the Executive terminates
employment pursuant to Section 4(a)(v), for a period of six (6) months following
the  Executive's  Termination  Date.  As  provided  by  Georgia statutes, "Trade
Secret"  means  information, including a formula, pattern, compilation, program,
device,  method,  technique, process, drawing cost data, or customer list, that:
(i)  derives economic value, actual or potential, from not being generally known
to and not being readily ascertainable by proper means by, other persons who can
obtain  economic  value  from  its disclosure or use; and (ii) is the subject of
efforts  that  are  reasonable  under the circumstances to maintain its secrecy.

     7.   PROTECTION  OF  OTHER  CONFIDENTIAL  INFORMATION.  In  addition,  the
Executive  agrees  to  maintain in strict confidence and, except as necessary to
perform  his  duties  for  the Employer, not to use or disclose any Confidential
Business  Information  of  the  Employer during his employment and following the
Executive's  Termination  Date  so long as he is receiving compensation from the
Employer,  or,  if  the  Executive  terminates  employment  pursuant  to Section
4(a)(v),  for  a  period of six (6) months following the Executive's Termination
Date.  "Confidential  Business  Information"  shall mean any internal, nonpublic
information  (other  than  Trade Secrets already addressed above) concerning the
Employer's  financial  position  and  results of operations (including revenues,
assets,  net  income,  etc.);  annual  and long-range business plans; product or
service  plans;  marketing  plans  and  methods,  training,  educational,

                                       10
<PAGE>
and  administrative  manuals;  customer  and  supplier  information and purchase
histories;  and  employee  lists.  The  provisions  of  Section 6 above and this
Section  7  shall  also apply to protect Trade Secrets and Confidential Business
Information  of  third  parties  provided to the Employer under an obligation of
secrecy.

     8.   RETURN  OF  MATERIALS.  The Executive shall surrender to the Employer,
promptly  upon  its request and in any event upon termination of the Executive's
employment,  all media, documents, notebooks, computer programs, handbooks, data
files, models, samples, price lists, drawings, customer lists, prospect data, or
other  material of any nature whatsoever (in tangible or electronic form) in the
Executive's possession or control, including all copies thereof, relating to the
Employer,  its business, or its customers. Upon the request of the Employer, the
Executive  shall  certify  in writing compliance with the foregoing requirement.

indirectly,  on  the  Executive's  own  behalf or in the service or on behalf of
others,  (A)  solicit, divert, or appropriate to or for a Competing Business, or

whether  the  employment  is  for  a  determined  period  or  is  at  will.

          (c)  Noncompetition Agreement.  During the Executive's employment with

following the Executive's Termination Date, the Executive shall not (without the
prior written consent of the Employer) compete with the Employer by, directly or
indirectly,  forming,  serving  as  an  organizer,  director  or  officer of, or
consultant  to,  or  acquiring  or  maintaining  any  interest  in  a depository
institution  or  holding  company  therefor  if  such  depository institution or
holding  company  has  one or more offices or branches located in the Territory.

     10.  INDEPENDENT  PROVISIONS.  The provisions in each of the above Sections
9(a),  9(b),  and  9(c)  are  independent,  and  the unenforceability of any one
provision shall not affect the enforceability of any other provision.

     11.  SUCCESSOR,  BINDING  AGREEMENT.  The  rights  and  obligations of this
Agreement  shall  bind  and inure to the benefit of the surviving corporation in

him,  except  that  his  right  to  receive  accrued  but  unpaid  compensation,
unreimbursed  expenses  and  other rights, if any, provided under this Agreement
which  survive  termination  of  this  Agreement  shall  pass after death to the
personal  representatives  of  his  estate.

communications  provided  for  in the Agreement shall be in writing and shall be
deemed  to  have  been duly given when personally delivered or sent by certified

     13.  GOVERNING  LAW.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and
enforced  in  accordance  with  the  laws of the State of Georgia without giving
effect  to  the  conflict  of laws principles thereof. Any action brought by any
party  to this Agreement shall be brought and maintained in a court of competent
jurisdiction  in  the  State  of  Georgia.

     14.  NONWAIVER.  Failure  of  the Employer to enforce any of the provisions
of  this  Agreement  or  any  rights  with  respect  thereto  shall in no way be
considered to be a waiver of such provisions or rights, or in any way affect the
validity  of  this  Agreement.

     15.  ENFORCEMENT.  The Executive agrees that, in the event of any breach of
any  covenant  contained  in  Section 9(a), 9(b), or 9(c), the Employer shall be
entitled  to  obtain  from  a  court  of competent jurisdiction an injunction to
restrain  the  breach  or anticipated breach of any such covenant, and to obtain
any  other  available  legal,  equitable,  statutory,  or  contractual  relief,
including but not limited to monetary damages. Should the Employer have cause to
seek such relief, no bond shall be required from the Employer, and the Executive
shall pay all attorney's fees and court costs that the Employer may incur to the
extent  the  Employer  prevails  in  its  enforcement  action.

     16.  SAVINGS  CLAUSE.  The  provisions  of  this  Agreement shall be deemed
severable  and  the  invalidity  or  unenforceability of any provision shall not
affect  the  validity  or  enforceability of the other provisions hereof. If any
provision  or clause of this Agreement, or any portion thereof, shall be held by
any  court  or  other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void, or
unenforceable in such jurisdiction, the remainder of such provision shall not be
thereby  affected  and shall be given full effect, without regard to the invalid
portion.  It  is  the  intention of the parties that, if any court construes any
provision  or  clause  of  this Agreement or any portion thereof, to be illegal,
void,  or  unenforceable  because  of  the  duration  of  such

                                       14
<PAGE>
provision  or  the  area  or matter covered thereby, such court shall reduce the
duration,  area,  or  matter  of  such provision, and, in its reduced form, such
provision  shall  then  be  enforceable  and  shall  be  enforced.

     17.  JOINT AND SEVERAL.  The obligations of the Company and the Bank to the
Executive  hereunder  shall  be  joint  and  several.
