                  (1)      The Option shall not be exercised and no related

governmental authority having jurisdiction over the exercise of the Option or
the issuance of shares.

                  (2)      Certificates representing the Stock transferred upon

or letters, delivered to the Board at any time before his death.

construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia.

55% of the corresponding Cash Bonus and ESOP contribution above, with that
amount increasing by 3% for every 1% that NIBT increases until NIBT exceeds 115%

Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) by any person or entity or any group of
persons or entities acting in concert, of 50% or more of the outstanding shares
of common stock of CNB; provided, however, that the execution and consummation
