commencing on the Additional Space Rental Commencement Date or the anniversary
thereof, as may be applicable; provided, however, that if the Additional Space
Rental Commencement Date is a date other than the first (1st) day of a calendar
month, then the first (1st) Additional Space Lease Year shall be the period
beginning on the Additional Space Rental Commencement Date and continuing
through the last calendar day of the calendar month in which the first (1st)
anniversary of the Additional Space Rental Commencement Date occurs; and
subsequent Additional Space Lease Years shall commence on the first (1st)
calendar day immediately succeeding the end of the first (1st) Additional Space

that expiration of the term of this Lease and the expiration of Additional Space

         4.       ANNUAL RENT INCREASE. Tenant shall pay to Landlord a rental
increase of three percent (3%) of the original monthly rental stated in Section
3, starting on January 1 of each calendar year beginning after the date of this
Lease, as more particularly detailed in Special Stipulation #2.

         5.       SERVICES BY LANDLORD. Landlord hereby covenants that during
reasonable hours (7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., Monday through Friday and 7:00 a.m. to
1:00 p.m. Saturdays, except national holidays observed in Atlanta, Georgia as
legal holidays) Landlord shall furnish in the proper season air conditioning and
heating in its judgement sufficient to reasonably heat or cool the Premises,
cessation created by causes beyond Landlord's control excepted. Landlord shall
furnish electric current to the Premises, and all other parts of the Building,
but only for lighting and normal office equipment such as typewriters, personal
computers and calculators and computer room. The HVAC system shall have the
capability of maintaining 35% relative humidity at 72 degrees and of providing
20 cubic feet per minute of ventilation per person at an occupancy density not
exceeding seven persons for each 1,000 square feet of the Building. Landlord
does hereby covenant to maintain the temperature within the Premises between
70(degrees)-74(degrees) during the summer season (so long as outside
temperatures do not exceed 100(degrees)F) and 68(degrees)-72(degrees) during the
winter season and the cooler months of the year (so long as outside temperatures
are above 14(degrees)F).

         6.       USE OF PREMISES. Premises shall be used for general office use
and banking purposes and no other. Premises shall not be used for any illegal
purposes; nor in any manner to create any nuisance or trespass; nor in any
manner to vitiate the insurance or increase the rate of insurance on Premises.

         7.       REPAIRS BY LANDLORD. Landlord shall be required to make all
repairs or improvements to the Premises and all common areas and facilities; the
roof, the foundation, the structure, the building shell, and operating systems
of the Building; the exterior walls of the Premises; the underground utility and
sewer pipes outside the exterior walls of the Building; and the landscaping and
grounds surrounding the Building, necessary or desirable to maintain the same in
good condition and repair and in a safe, clean, sightly and operable condition,
including, without limitation, electrical (except Tenant shall be responsible
for the maintenance and repair of the electrical panel serving the Premises),
plumbing, heating, air conditioning and structural repairs necessary for safety
and tenantability. Landlord shall, at its own cost and expense, keep in good
repair the exterior windows, glass, doors, and air conditioning systems, and
Tenant shall take good care of the Premises and its fixtures and permit no
waste, except normal wear and tear with due consideration for the purpose for
which the Premises are leased. Landlord gives to Tenant exclusive control of
Premises and shall be under no obligation to inspect said Premises. Tenant shall
promptly report in writing to Landlord any defective condition known to it which
Landlord is required to repair, and failure to so report such defects shall make
Tenant responsible to Landlord for any liability incurred by Landlord by reason
of such defects.

         8.       REPAIRS BY TENANT. Except as otherwise provided herein, Tenant
accepts the leased Premises in their present condition and as suited for the
uses intended by Tenant. Tenant

                                       3

<PAGE>

shall, throughout the initial term of this Lease and all renewals thereof, at
its expense, maintain in good order and repair the interior of the leased
Premises, except those repairs expressly required to be made by Landlord and any
repairs rendered necessary by the negligence of Landlord. Tenant shall be liable
for, and shall indemnify and shall hold Landlord harmless for, any damages
occurring as a result of Tenant's failure to make repairs it is responsible for.
Tenant agrees to return said Premises to Landlord at the expiration, or prior to
termination, of this Lease in as good condition and repair as when first
received, natural wear and tear, damage by storm, fire, lightning, earthquake or
other casualty alone excepted.

         9.       INDEMNITY. Unless due to Landlord's negligence or willful
misconduct Tenant agrees to indemnify and save harmless the Landlord against all
claims for damages to persons or property by reason of Tenant's and Tenant's
visitors and guests, use or occupancy of the leased Premises, and all expenses
incurred by Landlord because thereof, including attorneys' fees and court costs.
Landlord agrees to indemnify and save harmless Tenant from all claims, damages,
losses and expenses resulting from or arising out of the willful misconduct or
negligence of Landlord, its employees, agents, or contractors.

         10.      GOVERNMENTAL ORDERS. Tenant agrees, at his own expense, to
promptly comply with all requirements of any legally constituted public
authority made necessary by reason of Tenant's occupancy of said premises.
Landlord agrees to promptly comply with any such requirements if not made
necessary by reason of Tenant's occupancy. It is mutually agreed, however,
between Landlord and Tenant, that if in order to comply with such requirements,
the cost to Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, shall exceed a sum equal to
one year's rent, then Landlord or Tenant, whichever is obligated to comply with
such requirements, is privileged to terminate this Lease by giving written
notice of termination to the other party, by registered mail, which termination
shall become effective sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice, and which
notice shall eliminate the necessity of compliance with such requirement by the
party giving such notice, unless the party receiving such notice of termination
shall, before termination becomes effective, pay to the party giving the notice
all costs of compliance in excess of one year's rent, or secure payment of said
sum in a manner satisfactory to the party giving notice. In the event that this
Lease shall be terminated by either Landlord or Tenant as provided for herein,
then in such event, Landlord shall, on or before the date of such termination,
pay to Tenant an amount equal to the unamortized balance of Tenant's cost of
Tenant's Work (such as term is hereinafter defined). For purposes hereof, the
amortization of such costs of Tenant's Work shall be determined as of the
effective date of such termination and such amortization shall be calculated on
a straight line basis over the original Term of this Lease.

         11.      CONDEMNATION. If the whole of the leased Premises, or such
portion thereof as will make the Premises, in Tenant's reasonable judgement,
unusable for the purposes herein leased, be condemned by any legally constituted
authority for any public use or purpose, or, as a consequence of any such
condemnation (or any taking in lieu thereof) (i) access to and from any public
right-of-way shall be materially adversely affected; or (ii) fifteen percent
(15%) or more of the parking spaces for the entire Building shall be taken or
eliminated and reasonably comparable substitute parking spaces shall not be
provided for by Landlord with reasonable promptness and dispatch, then in either
of said events the term hereby granted shall cease from the date when possession
thereof is taken by public authorities, and rental shall be accounted for

                                       4

<PAGE>

as between Landlord and Tenant as of said date. Such termination, however, shall
be without prejudice to the rights of either Landlord or Tenant to recover
compensation and damage caused by condemnation from the condemnor. In the event
that this Lease shall not be so terminated as provided for herein, then in such
event, Landlord shall, at its sole cost and expense, restore and repair the
Premises with reasonable promptness and dispatch and rental shall be
proportionately aborted for such time as the Premises (or any portion thereof)
shall be untenantable. It is further understood and agreed that neither Tenant
nor Landlord shall have any rights in any award made to the other by any
condemnation authority, notwithstanding the termination of the Lease as herein
provided. Landlord agrees to pay to Agent, from the termination of the Lease as
herein provided. Landlord agrees to pay to Agent, from the award made to
Landlord under condemnation, the balance of lease commissions, reduced to then
present cash value, as provided in paragraph 4 hereof, and Agent may become a
party to the condemnation proceedings for the purposes of enforcing its rights
under this paragraph. In the event that the Premises (including, without
limitation, Tenant's Work) is in fact not repaired or restored by Landlord after
such taking or in the event that this Lease shall be terminated as a result of
such condemnation as provided for herein then in such event, Landlord shall pay
to Tenant an amount equal to the unamortized balance of Tenant's cost of
Tenant's work (such as term is hereinafter defined). For purposes hereof the
amortization of such cost of Tenant's work shall be determined as of the
effective date of such taking termination and such amortization shall be
calculated on a straight line basis over the original term of this lease and
Landlord (and not Tenant) shall be entitled to receive the balance of such
condemnation insurance proceeds.

         12.      ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING. Tenant may, without Landlord's
prior written consent, assign or sublease any or all of the Premises to a
subsidiary, parent or affiliate corporation provided, however: the premises may
be used only as set forth herein in paragraph 6. Tenant may, with Landlord's
prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed, sublease portions of the leased Premises to others provided such
sublessee's operation is a part of the general operation of Tenant and under the
supervision and control of Tenant, and provided such operation is within the
purposes for which said Premises shall be used as set forth in paragraph 6
herein. Except as provided in preceding sentence, Tenant shall not, without the
prior written consent of Landlord, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld,
or delayed, endorsed hereon, assign this Lease or any interest hereunder, or
sublet Premises or any part thereof, or permit the use of Premises by any party
other than the Tenant. Landlord's consent to any subsequent assignment or
subleases shall be made likewise only after the prior written consent of
Landlord has been obtained, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed. Assignee of Tenant, at option of Landlord, shall become directly liable
to Landlord for all obligations of Tenant hereunder, but no sublease or
assignment by Tenant shall relieve Tenant of any liability hereunder.

         13.      REMOVAL OF FIXTURES. Tenant may (if not in default hereunder)
within 30 days prior to the expiration of this Lease, or any extension thereof,
remove all fixtures and equipment which he has placed in Premises, provided
Tenant repairs all damage to Premises caused by such removal.

         14.      CANCELLATION OF LEASE BY LANDLORD. It is mutually agreed that
in the event the Tenant shall default in the payment of rent, including
additional rent, herein reserved, when due,

                                       5

<PAGE>

and fails to cure said default within ten (10) days after receipt of written
notice thereof from Landlord; or if Tenant shall be in default in performing any
of the terms or provisions of this Lease other than the provision requiring the
payment of rent, and fails to cure such other default within thirty (30) days
after the date of receipt of written notice of default from Landlord; or if
Tenant is adjudicated bankrupt; or if a permanent receiver is appointed for
Tenant's property and such receiver is not removed within sixty (60) days after
written notice from Landlord to Tenant to obtain such removal; or if,
voluntarily Tenant takes advantage of any debtor relief proceedings under any
present or future law, whereby the rent or any part thereof is, or is proposed
to be, reduced or payment thereof deferred; or if Tenant makes any assignment
for benefit of creditors; or if Tenant's effects should be levied upon or
attached under process against Tenant, not satisfied or dissolved within sixty
(60) days after written notice from Landlord to Tenant to obtain satisfaction
thereof; then, and in any of said events, Landlord at his option may at once, or
within six (6) months thereafter (but only during continuance of such default or
condition), terminate this Lease by written notice to Tenant; whereupon this
Lease shall end. After an authorized assignment or subletting of the entire
Premises covered by this Lease, the occurring of any of the foregoing defaults
or events shall affect this Lease only if caused by, or happening to, the
assignee or sublessee. Any notice provided in this paragraph may be given by
Landlord, or his attorney. Upon such termination by all of Tenant's effects
therefrom; and Landlord may forthwith re-enter the Premises and repossess
himself thereof, and remove all persons and effects therefrom, using such force
as may be necessary without being guilty of trespass, forcible entry or detainer
or other tort, or any breach of this agreement.

         15.      RELETTING BY LANDLORD. Landlord, without terminating this
Lease, upon Tenant breaching this Lease (but only after the expiration of any
cure period provided for herein) may at Landlord's option enter upon and, using
reasonable efforts to do so, rent Premises at the best price obtainable by
reasonable effort, without advertisement and by private negotiations and on such
other terms as may be commercially reasonable and for any term Landlord deems
proper. Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for the deficiency, if any, between
Tenant's rent hereunder and the price obtained by Landlord on reletting.

         16.      EXTERIOR SIGNAGE. Tenant may, at its sole cost and expense,
place, maintain and replace upon the interior of the leased Premises all signs
allowable by law which Tenant deems appropriate to the conduct of its business.
In addition, Tenant may, at its sole cost and expense, place, maintain, and
replace (i) (1) sign on the outside wall in the front of the Building of a size
and character approved by Landlord, such approval not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed, and (ii) such signage on the entrance doors to the premises
as Tenant deems appropriate to the conduct of its business. In addition, Tenant
may, at its sole cost and expense, erect (i) a monument sign in the vicinity of
the right of way of Holcomb Bridge Road; (ii) such directional and parking
signage in the driveways and parking areas as Tenant deems appropriate to the
conducting of its business. Any and all signs placed on the leased Premises by
Tenant shall be maintained in compliance with local rules and regulations
governing such signs and the Tenant shall be responsible to Landlord for any
damage caused by installation, use, or maintenance of said signs, and Tenant
agrees upon removal of said signs to repair all damage incident to such removal.

                                       6

<PAGE>

         17.      ENTRY FOR CARDING, ETC. Landlord may card Premises "For Rent"
or "For Sale" thirty (30) days before the termination of this Lease. Landlord
may enter the Premises with prior notice to Tenant at reasonable business hours
to exhibit same to prospective purchasers or tenants and make repairs required
of Landlord under the terms hereof, or to make repairs to Landlord's adjoining
property, if any. Upon the sale of the Premises by Landlord, Landlord shall
stand entirely free of any covenants or obligations to Tenant, which shall pass
to the succeeding landlord. Tenant shall be bound to any succeeding landlord for
all the terms and obligations of this Lease.

         18.      EFFECTIVE TERMINATION OF LEASE. No termination of this Lease
prior to the normal ending thereof, by lapse of time or otherwise, shall affect
Landlord's right to collect rent for the period prior to termination thereof.

         19.      NO ESTATE IN LAND. This contract shall create the relationship
of Landlord and Tenant between the parties hereto, no estate shall pass out of
Landlord. Tenant has only a usufruct, not subject to levy and sale, and not
assignable by Tenant except by Landlord's consent.

         20.      HOLDING OVER. If Tenant remains in possession of Premises
after expiration of the term hereof, with Landlord's acquiescence and without
any express agreement of parties, Tenant shall be a tenant at will at 125% of
the then escalated rental rate in effect at end of Lease; and there shall be no
renewal of this Lease by operation of law.

         21.      ATTORNEY'S FEES AND HOMESTEAD. Tenant agrees to pay all
reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses actually incurred by Landlord in
enforcing any of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease. In addition,
Landlord agrees to pay all reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, actually
incurred by Tenant in enforcing any of the obligations of Landlord under this
Lease. Tenant also agrees to pay all reasonable attorneys' fees which Landlord
may incur in any litigation or negotiations in which Landlord shall, without its
fault, become involved on account of this Lease. Tenant waives all homestead
rights and exemptions which it may have under any law as against any obligation
owing under this Lease, and assigns to Landlord its homestead exemptions to the
extent necessary and permitted by law to secure payment and performance of
Tenant's covenants and agreements hereunder.

         22.      RIGHTS CUMULATIVE. All rights, powers and privileges conferred
hereunder upon parties shall be cumulative but not restrictive to those given by
law.

         23.      WAIVER OF RIGHTS. No failure of either party to exercise any
power given either party hereunder, or to insist upon strict compliance by
either party to his obligation hereunder, and no custom or practice of the
parties at variance with the terms hereof shall constitute a waiver of either
party's right to demand exact compliance with the terms hereof.

         24.      TIME OF ESSENCE. Time is of the essence of this agreement.

         25.      LATE CHARGES. Any rental or other amounts payable to Landlord
under this Lease Agreement, if not paid by the fifth (5th) day of the month for
which such rent is due, or by the

                                       7

<PAGE>

due date specified on any invoices from Landlord for any other amounts payable
hereunder shall incur a late charge of Fifty Dollars ($50.00) for Landlord's
administrative expense in processing such delinquent payment, and in addition
thereto shall bear interest at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum from
and after the due date for such payment. In no event shall the rate of interest
payable on any late payment exceed the legal limits for such interest
enforceable under applicable law.

         26.      PARTIAL RENT PAYMENT. No payment by Tenant or receipt by
Landlord of a lesser amount than any installment or payment of Rent due shall be
deemed to be other than on account of the amount due. Landlord may accept such
check or payment without prejudice to Landlord's right to recover the balance of
such installment or payment of Rent or pursue any other remedies available to
Landlord.

         27.      TENANT'S OBLIGATION TO INSURE. On or before the Commencement
Date and on or before each anniversary thereof during the Lease Term, or any
renewals or extensions thereof, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a certificate
of a policy or renewal of public liability insurance insuring Tenant, and their
respective officers, employees, agents and representatives against loss or
damage arising from injury to persons or property occurring within the Premises,
which policy or renewal policy shall (i) provide that it is noncancelable
without thirty (30) days' prior written notice to Landlord, (ii) provide for
minimum limits of $500,000 for property damage and $1,000,000 per occurrence for
personal injuries to or deaths of persons in or about the Premises, (iii) name
Landlord as additional insured, and (iv) be accompanied by proof of payment of
the premium thereof.

         28.      DEFINITIONS. "Landlord" as used in this Lease shall include
first party, his heirs, representatives, assigns and successors in title to
Premises. "Tenant" shall include second party, his heirs and representatives,
and if this Lease shall be validly assigned or sublet, shall include also
Tenant's assignees or sublessees, as to premises covered by such assignment or
sublease. "Agent" shall include third party, his successors, assigns, heirs, and
representatives. "Landlord", "Tenant", and "Agent", include male and female,

becomes illegal, invalid, or unenforceable because of present or future laws or
any rule or regulation of any governmental body or entity, effective during its

commencing on the Additional Space Rental Commencement Date or the anniversary
thereof, as may be applicable; provided, however, that if the Additional Space
Rental Commencement Date is a date other than the first (1st) day of a calendar

beginning on the Additional Space Rental Commencement Date and continuing
through the last calendar day of the calendar month in which the first (1st)
anniversary of the Additional Space Rental Commencement Date occurs; and
subsequent Additional Space Lease Years shall commence on the first (1st)
calendar day immediately succeeding the end of the first (1st)

calendar month shall be prorated based on actual days elapsed. Acknowledging the
possibility that expiration of the term of this Lease and the expiration of
Additional Space Lease Year 4 will not occur simultaneously, and notwithstanding
the information contained in the chart set out immediately hereinabove, the Base
Annual Rental for the Additional Space shall only be payable during the term of

         The Base Annual Rental as adjusted pursuant to this Paragraph shall be
deemed to thereafter be the "Base Annual Rental" for all purposes whatsoever
under this Lease and to be payable in a like manner to the initial amount of
Base Annual Rental specified herein.

         3.       It is further agreed and understood, that, except as provided
otherwise herein, Tenant is to accept the Premises on as "as is" basis and is to
provide its own Tenant Improvements and buildout as necessary for Tenant's use.
Any improvements and work to be performed to the Premises shall first be
submitted in writing to Landlord and approved by Landlord in writing prior to
any work being performed by Tenant, said consent not to be unreasonably withheld
or delayed. In addition, Landlord is to assist in the supervision of any
improvements to the Premises in order for Landlord to control the quality of
work in the Premises and to protect any interference or difficulties said Tenant
improvements could cause existing Tenants located in the Building. All work
shall be performed according to local and state codes and regulations, and shall
be properly permitted by all applicable governmental authorities.

         4.       Landlord agrees to work with Tenant relative to the design and
placement of a new monument sign for the Building subject to Gwinnett County
sign regulations and at Tenant's expense. If Landlord and Tenant are unable to
satisfactorily agree, then Tenant shall have signage rights, subject to Gwinnett
County sign regulations and at Tenant's expense, to the northwest entrance of
said property.

         5.       As an inducement to Tenant to enter into this Lease, Landlord
does hereby agree to modify the exterior of the Building, improve landscaping,
reseal and stripe the parking lot within one hundred eighty (180) days of
Tenant's occupancy. Such modifications will be subject to Tenant's input and
concurrence, and shall be implemented so as to minimize any interference with
Tenant's operation.

                                       2

<PAGE>

         6.       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Paragraph 5.
"Services by Landlord", Landlord, at its sole cost and expense, will also be
providing:

                  (a)      hot and cold running water to the Building;

                  (b)      sanitary sewer;

                  (c)      the lighting of the parking lot and driveways, the
         illumination of the exterior signage (including any freestanding
         monument sign), the maintenance of the Building, and the landscaping
         and grounds surrounding the same in good condition and repair and in a
         clean, safe, sightly and operable condition. Notwithstanding the
         foregoing, it is hereby agreed that Tenant, at its sole cost and
         expense, shall be responsible for the general cleaning and janitorial
         service for the interior of the Premises.

         7.       Landlord will provide Tenant with six (6) reserved parking
spaces adjacent to the Building, in a location reasonably acceptable to Tenant,
and Landlord will, at its sole cost and expense, designate the same, by
appropriate signage acceptable to Tenant, as "First Capital Visitor Parking".
Landlord shall also provide Tenant with six (6) reserved parking spaces located
in front of the Building, and such spaces shall also be designated as "First
Capital Visitor Parking" in the same manner described hereinabove. Landlord will
also, at its sole cost and expense, install and maintain appropriate directional
signage to direct First Capital customers to such parking spaces, as may be
reasonably acceptable to Tenant.

         8.       Should the Premises or any material portion of the common
areas or facilities of the Building be so damaged by fire or other cause that
rebuilding or repairs cannot be completed within one hundred twenty (120) days
from the date of the fire or other cause of damages, then either Landlord or
Tenant may terminate this Lease by written notice to the other given within
thirty (30) days of the date of such damage or destruction, in which event rent
shall be abated from the date of such damage or destruction. However, if the
damage or destruction is such that rebuilding or repairs can be completed within
one hundred twenty (120) days, Landlord covenants and agrees, subject to the
provisions of this paragraph, to make such repairs with reasonable promptness
and dispatch, and to allow Tenant an abatement in all rental for such time as
the Premises are untenantable or proportionately for such portion of the
Premises as shall be untenantable, and Tenant covenants and agrees that the
terms of this Lease shall not be otherwise affected. In the event such
rebuilding and repair are not, in fact, completed within one hundred fifty (150)
days of the date of such destruction or damage, Tenant may, by written notice
delivered to Landlord, elect to terminate this Lease. In no event shall Landlord
be required to repair or replace any trade fixtures, furniture, equipment or
other property belonging to Tenant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this paragraph, Landlord shall not have any obligation whatsoever
to repair, reconstruct or restore the Premises when the damage resulting from
any casualty contained under this paragraph occurs during the last twelve (12)
months of the Term of this Lease, and should Landlord so elect not to restore
and/or repair the Premises, Landlord shall notify Tenant of the same within
thirty (30) days of the date of such damage or destruction; and in such event,
this Lease shall terminate as the date of such destruction or damage and
thereafter be deemed to be null and void and of no further force or effect.

<PAGE>

                  In connection with any damage or destruction to the
improvements and alterations made by Tenant to the Premises (hereinafter
"Tenant's Work"), in the event that, for whatever reason, the Premises
(including, without limitation, Tenant's Work) is in fact not repaired or
restored by Landlord or in the event that this Lease shall be terminated by
either Landlord or Tenant as provided for herein, then in such event, Tenant
(and not Landlord) shall be entitled to a portion of the insurance proceeds
payable with respect thereto in an amount equal to the unamortized balance of
Tenant's costs of Tenant's Work; and Landlord (and not Tenant) shall be entitled
to receive the balance of such insurance proceeds. For purposes hereof, the
amortization of such costs of Tenant's Work shall be determined as of the date
such damage or destruction occurred, and such amortization shall be calculated
on a straight line basis over the original Term of this Lease.

         9.       A.       This Lease shall, at the election of Landlord, be
superior or be subject and subordinate to the lien of any mortgage (which term
shall be deemed to include a deed to secure debt) which Landlord may hereafter
place upon the Premises, provided that (1) if there are no defaults hereunder on
the part of Tenant the right of possession of Tenant to the Premises and
Tenant's rights arising out of this Lease shall not be affected or disturbed by
the mortgagee under the mortgage in the exercise of any of its rights under the
mortgage or the notes secured thereby; (2) Tenant shall not in any foreclosure
or other proceeding under the mortgage, nor in any other way be deprived of its
rights under this Lease, nor shall this Lease be terminated or affected by any
foreclosure or sale or any proceeding under any mortgage; and (3) the mortgagee
shall execute and deliver to Tenant a Subordination, Non-Disturbance and
Attornment Agreement ("SNDA") in form acceptable to Tenant prior to the
execution of the mortgage. Landlord agrees that in the event of any foreclosure
of the mortgage, Tenant shall have the right to withhold the payment of any
rentals due hereunder and pay the same directly to the mortgagee in satisfaction
of the indebtedness secured thereby.

                  B.       Prior to the sixtieth (60th) calendar day following
the date of this Lease, Landlord, at Landlord's sole cost and expense, shall
provide Tenant with non-disturbance and attornment agreements in a form which is
reasonably acceptable to Tenant, executed by all entities or parties presently
holding mortgages or other liens upon the Premises.

         10.      Landlord and Tenant do hereby acknowledge and agree that, in
order for Tenant to be able to utilize the Premises for the purposes intended by
Tenant, certain tenant improvements (the "Tenant's Work") will be required in
the Premises. In connection therewith, Tenant does hereby agree to immediately
initiate the preparation of detailed plans and specifications for the
construction of Tenant's Work for the Premises and to promptly submit the same
to Landlord. Landlord shall, within ten (10) days, approve or deliver to Tenant
its comments to said plans and specifications (and in the event Landlord shall
not deliver to Tenant any such comments within said ten (10) day period, such
plans and specifications shall be deemed to have been approved by Landlord).
Landlord and Tenant shall mutually agree upon the plans and specifications; and
upon said approvals by both Landlord and Tenant, Tenant shall effect the
construction of Tenant's Work, at its sole cost and expense, in accordance with
the approved plans and specifications. Tenant does hereby agree that, within one
hundred twenty (120) calendar days of the date Tenant completes Tenant's Work,
Tenant will deliver to

                                       4

<PAGE>

Landlord a statement of the amounts actually expended by Tenant in effecting
Tenant's Work. Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord from and
against any and all claims arising from the actions of Tenant, its officers,
agents, employees or contractors in the construction of Tenant's Work, and from
and against all costs, reasonable attorney's fees, expenses and liabilities
incurred in the defense of any such claim or any action or proceeding brought
thereon; and in case any action or proceeding be brought against Landlord by
reason of any such claim, Tenant upon notice from Landlord shall defend the same
at Tenant's expense by counsel reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. If a lien is
placed upon the Building as a result of Tenant's actions and Tenant does not
cause such lien to be bonded off or removed within thirty (30) days of notice
that said lien has been filed, Tenant shall be deemed in default of this
Agreement and Landlord shall have all rights and remedies available for a
default by Tenant as provided herein. Tenant shall provide Landlord with
evidence of payment for all work performed on the Premises within thirty (30)
days of the date Tenant's Work is completed.

         11.      Subject to the terms and conditions herein and provided there
is then no event of default hereunder, Tenant shall have one (1) option to
extend the term of this Lease for an additional period of five (5) years for the
rental set forth in Special Stipulation #2 hereinabove and on the same other
terms and conditions set forth in this Lease; such extended term to begin at the
expiration of the original term of this Lease. If Tenant shall elect to extend
the term of this Lease, it shall do so by giving Landlord not less than one
hundred eighty (180) days written notice prior to the expiration of the original
term of this Lease. If Tenant fails to timely give the above-described notice
electing to extend the term of this Lease, this Lease shall automatically
terminate at the end of the original term.

         12.      Tenant, its employees, agents, invitees, licensees and
contractors shall have the non-exclusive right to use the driveways, parking
areas and other common areas constituting a part of the Building in common with
Landlord and the other tenants of the Building. Landlord covenants that all
parking areas, entrances and exits, access drives, sidewalks and other common
areas in existence on the date of this Lease shall not be materially modified or
altered without Tenant's prior written consent, nor shall Tenant's rights to
utilize the same be interrupted or disturbed by any act of Landlord, its
employees, agents, contractors or other tenants of the Building during the term
of this Lease.

         13.      Landlord covenants and warrants that it is the owner of the
Building and has the full and unrestricted right to execute this Lease and
demise the Premises to Tenant, together with the rights, privileges, easements
and appurtenances herein demised.

         14.      Landlord does hereby grant to Tenant a right of first refusal
to lease all or any portion of the office space of the Building cross-hatched
and labeled as the "Adjacent Space" on Exhibit B (hereinafter referred to as the
"Adjacent Space"), should (and each time) such Adjacent Space becomes available
for lease during the term (including any extension of the original term) of this
Lease. Landlord does hereby agree to notify Tenant of any pending availability
of the Adjacent Space prior to marketing or presenting the Adjacent Space to
other parties for lease. Upon Landlord so notifying Tenant, in writing, of the
pending availability of the Adjacent Space, Tenant shall have thirty (30) days
within which to notify Landlord, in writing, of its decision to lease or not to
lease Adjacent Space. Tenant shall have the right to

                                       5

<PAGE>

elect to lease any part or all of the Adjacent Space; provided, however, that
Tenant may not elect to lease less than 1,200 square feet of space if it elects
to lease less than all of the Adjacent Space. In the event Tenant exercises said
right of first refusal, then Landlord and Tenant shall execute an amendment to
this Lease adding the Adjacent Space and providing for a rental and other terms
and conditions identical to the rental and other terms and conditions provided
for herein for the Premises (including, without limitation, the expiration of
the term of this Lease). In the event that Tenant does not exercise the right of
first refusal described hereinabove, said right of first refusal with respect to
the instant availability of the Adjacent Space only shall be null and void, and
Landlord, with respect to the instant availability of the Adjacent Space only,
shall be entitled thereafter to lease said Adjacent Space without restriction;
however, any subsequent instance of the availability of the Adjacent Space shall
be subject to the right of first refusal described hereinabove.

         15.      Landlord and Tenant do hereby acknowledge that Tenant may, at
a later time during the term of this Lease, desire to construct and maintain an
automated remote drive-through banking facility in the parking area constituting
a part of the Building. The design of said automated remote drive-through
banking facility and the manner of its construction shall be subject to
Landlord's prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed. In connection therewith, Landlord does hereby approve
Tenant's construction and maintenance of the same in a mutually agreeable
location of the parking area of the Building, and does hereby agree to work in
good faith with Tenant in all matters necessary or desirable in order to effect
the construction and maintenance of said automated remote drive-through banking
facility. Landlord and Tenant do hereby agree that Tenant shall be responsible
for the payment of all expenses related to the construction and maintenance of
said automated remote drive-through banking facility.

         16.      Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, Landlord and
Tenant do hereby acknowledge and agree that Tenant's obligations hereunder are
contingent upon the sale by Tenant of its current building located at 1725
Indian Trail Road to First Citizen's Bank (or a subsidiary thereof) on or before
February 1, 1997. Landlord and Tenant do hereby acknowledge and agree that in
the event that the sale of Tenant's existing banking facility as described
hereinabove is not consummated on or before February 1, 1997, this Lease shall
automatically terminate and thereafter be deemed to be null and void and of no
further force or effect. In such event, Landlord and Tenant do hereby
acknowledge and agree that Landlord, as its sole and exclusive remedy, shall be
entitled to the sum of Ten Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($10,000.00), as full and
complete liquidated damages as a result of the termination of this Lease by
Tenant; and simultaneously with the execution of this Lease, Tenant does hereby
agree to deliver to Landlord the sum of $10,000.00.

         17.      Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease to the
contrary, Landlord and Tenant do hereby agree that Tenant shall have the right
to cancel and terminate this Lease at any time by Tenant's delivery of a written
notice to Landlord delivered not less than 180 calendar days prior to the
effective date of such termination of this Lease setting forth Tenant's election
to do so. In the event that Tenant does so elect to terminate this Lease as
described hereinabove, Tenant shall, on or before the effective date of such
termination of this Lease, deliver to Landlord , as a penalty for such early
termination, an amount equal to (i) the sum of all monthly

                                       6

payments of Base Annual Rental which were to be made by Tenant under the terms
of the table below through the effective date of such termination of this Lease,

Tenant commencing with the payment due for February, 2003, through the effective
date of such termination of the Lease.

         18.      Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, in the
event that Landlord shall at any tine be in default in the observance or
performance of any of the covenants and agreements required to be performed or
observed by Landlord hereunder and any such default shall continue for a period
of thirty (30) days after written notice to Landlord and any mortgagee of
Landlord whose name and address shall have been previously given to Tenant (or
if such default is incapable of being cured in a reasonable manner within thirty
(30) days then if Landlord has not commenced to cure the same within said thirty
(30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion),
then Tenant shall be entitled, at its election, to exercise concurrently or
successively, any one or more of the following rights, in addition to all
remedies provided for in this Lease or otherwise available in law or equity
under the laws of Georgia:

                  (a)      to bring suit for the collection of any amounts for
                  which Landlord may be in default, or for the performance of
                  any other covenant or agreement binding upon Landlord, without
                  terminating this Lease; and/or

                  (b)      terminate this Lease upon thirty (30) days' written
                  notice to Landlord without waiving Tenant's rights for damages
                  for Landlord's failure to perform its obligations hereunder;
                  and in the event that Tenant shall elect so to terminate this
                  Lease, the same shall thereafter be deemed to be null and void
                  and of no further force or effect.

         19.      Upon payment by Tenant of the rents provided for herein and
upon the observance and performance by Tenant of all other covenants, terms and
conditions on Tenant's part to be observed and performed, Tenant shall peaceably
have, hold, possess and enjoy the Premises and the non-exclusive use of all of
the common areas and common facilities of the Building for the full term of this
Lease without hindrance, interruption or molestation by Landlord or anyone
claiming through Landlord.

         20.      Landlord warrants that the Building (including, without
limitation, the common areas and common facilities of the Budding, and the soil,

(b) any asbestos or asbestos-containing materials; (c) stored, leaked or spilled

or occupants of the Building or the property adjacent to the Building. In
addition, Tenant does hereby agree that Tenant will comply with all applicable
environmental laws and regulations related to Hazardous Materials; and Tenant
does hereby agree to indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from any damages
resulting from its violation of its covenant described immediately hereinabove.

         21.      Tenant warrants that it has had no dealings with any brokers
other than Corporate Property Advisors ("Broker") in convection with the
negotiations or execution of this Lease. Tenant further acknowledges that
Corporate Property Advisors represents Tenant solely in all negotiations
pertaining to the execution and delivery of this Lease, but is being paid by
Landlord pursuant to a separate agreement. Tenant agrees to indemnify Landlord
and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all cost, expense or
liability for commissions or other compensation or charges claimed by any broker
or agent other than Broker with respect to this Lease. Landlord agrees to
indemnify and hold Tenant harmless from and against any and all cost, expense or
liability for commissions or other compensation claimed by Broker with respect
to this Lease.

         22.      The laws of the State of Georgia shall govern the
interpretation, validity, performance, and enforcement of this Lease. If any
provision of this Lease shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable, the
validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Lease shall not
be affected thereby.

         23.      In the event that there is interruption in water, sanitary
sewer, gas, electric or telephone utility services to the Premises for more than
two (2) business days and such interruption is due to the willful or negligent
acts or omissions of Landlord, its agents, employees or contractors, Tenant's
obligations to pay rent shall abate during the period of such interruption.

         24.      Landlord shall keep in force during the term of the Lease an
insurance policy of all-risk fire, extended coverage, theft, vandalism,
malicious mischief and other casualty, covering loss or damage to the Building,
including all improvements thereto (but excluding the trade fixtures, furniture,
equipment and other property belonging to Tenant), to the extent of at least one
hundred percent (100%) of their replacement cost. Landlord shall also obtain and
keep in force, during the term of this Lease, comprehensive commercial general
liability insurance pertaining to the Building (including, without limitation,
Tenant's Work), the limits of such

                                       8

<PAGE>

insurance to be in an amount not less than $1,000,000.00 per person and
$2,000,000.00 per incident.

         25.      In the event Landlord does not commence any repairs required
to be made by Landlord within ten (10) days after written notice from Tenant to
Landlord (and thereafter diligently pursue the completion of same), Tenant shall
have the right, but not the obligation, to effect such repairs. In the event
that Tenant shall so elect to effect such repairs, Tenant shall cause such
repairs to be made by a reputable contractor at Tenant's expense, and Landlord
shall reimburse Tenant for such reasonable expenses within thirty (30) days of
receipt of paid invoices for the repairs. In the event that Landlord shall fail
to reimburse Tenant for such reasonable expenses within said thirty (30) day
period, Tenant shall thereafter be entitled to set-off such amounts against any
amounts due by Tenant to Landlord hereunder. Landlord agrees that Landlord shall
be responsible for any damages suffered by Tenant caused by Landlord's failure
or refusal to make any repairs hereunder, within a reasonable time after
Landlord is notified of the necessity for the same by Tenant.

         26.      If, during the making of any repairs or alterations herein
required or authorized to be made by Landlord, Tenant is materially deprived for
more than two (2) business days of the uninterrupted use of any portion of the
Premises, then the rent payable by Tenant hereunder shall be equitably abated.

         27.      Landlord and Tenant each hereby releases the other from any
and all liability or responsibility to the other or anyone claiming through or
under them by way of subrogation or otherwise for any loss or damage to property
caused by fire or any other perils that could be insured against or that are
required to be insured against under the terms of this Lease, even if such loss
or damage shall have been caused by the fault or negligence of the other party,
or anyone for whom such party may be responsible, including, without limitation,
and other tenants or occupants of the remainder of the Building in which the
Premises are located, provided, however, that this release shall be applicable
and in force and effect only to the extent that such release shall be lawful at
that time and in any event, only with respect to loss or damage occurring during
such time as the releasor's policies shall contain a clause or endorsement to
the effect that any such release shall not adversely affect or impair said
policies or prejudice the right of the releaser to recover thereunder and then
only to the extent of the insurance proceeds payable under such policies.
Landlord and Tenant each agrees that it will request its insurance carriers to
include in its policies such a clause of endorsement.

         28.      Any and all notices, elections, demands, requests and
responses thereto permitted or required to be given under this Lease shall be in
writing, signed by or on behalf of the party giving the same, and shall be
deemed to have been properly given or served and shall be effective upon being
personally delivered, or upon being deposited with an overnight courier or in
the United States Mail, postage prepaid, certified mail, return receipt
requested, to the other party at the address of such other party set forth below
or at such other address as such other party may designate by notice
specifically designated as a notice of change of address and given in accordance
herewith; provided, however, that the time period in which a response to any
such notice, election, demand or request must be given shall commence on the
date of receipt thereof; and provided further that no notice of change of
address shall be effective until the date of

                                       9

<PAGE>

receipt thereof. Personal delivery to a party or to any officer, partner, agent
or employee of such party at said address shall constitute receipt. Rejection or
other refusal to accept or inability to deliver because of changed address of
which no notice has been received shall also constitute receipt. Any such
notice, demand, or request shall be addressed as follows:

                  Landlord:                      MSR Holdings, Inc.
                                                 1951 Airport Road, Suite 120

                                                 Attention:  Mr. Bill Blanton

Any notice given as hereinabove described shall be deemed received on the
earlier of the date of actual delivery and the third calendar day after the date
of posting in the United States mail of such notice. Any Member may change said
address as described hereinabove by sending notice to the other Members of such
change of address.

         29.      Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Lease,
in the event Tenant is closed or taken over by the banking authority of the
State of Georgia or another duly constituted bank supervisory authority,
Landlord may thereupon terminate this Lease only with the concurrence of such
banking authority or other supervisory authority, and any such authority shall
have the election, to be made within thirty (30) days of closure or takeover, to
either continue or terminate this Lease which, if continued, shall remain as
written with the banking authority or other bank supervisory authority acting as
or in lieu of Tenant; provided, that in the event this Lease is terminated by
such banking authority or other bank supervisory authority, the Landlord's
entitlement under this Lease shall in no event be for an amount exceeding the
total of (a) all rents reserved under this Lease, plus (b) an amount equal to
the unpaid rent accrued to said date; and, provided that there shall in any
event be no acceleration by Landlord of any rentals under this Lease; and
provided further, that should Landlord find it necessary to proceed at law
against Tenant to collect either or both of said entitlements, Landlord shall in
addition recover from Tenant its legal fees and brokerage commissions expended.

         30.      Landlord agrees to pay before they become delinquent, all
taxes, assessments and governmental charges of any kind and nature whatsoever
(hereinafter collectively called the "Taxes") lawfully levied or assessed
against the Budding and the grounds, parking areas, driveways and alleys around
the Building; provided, however, that the maximum amount of Taxes to be paid by
Landlord hereunder during any one real estate tax year shall not exceed the
Taxes paid for the calendar year 2001 (hereinafter referred to as the "Base
Year"). If in any real estate tax year during the Lease term hereof, or any
renewal or extension, the Taxes levied or assessed against the Building and the
grounds, parking areas, driveways and alleys around the Building during such tax
year shall exceed the amount of Taxes paid for the Base Year, Tenant agrees to
pay to Landlord, as Additional Rental, upon demand, the amount of Tenant's
"proportionate share" of the excess Taxes. Tenant's "proportionate share" shall
mean a fraction, the numerator of which is the space contained in the Premises
and the denominator of which is

                                       10

<PAGE>

the entire space contained in the Building. For purposes hereof, the Premises
(consisting of the Original Space, the Additional Space and the Supplemental
Additional Space) contain 17,555 square feet of office space, and the Building
is comprised of 30,914 square feet. Therefore, Tenant's "proportionate share" is
56.79% (hereinafter called "Proportionate Share"). Landlord reserves the right
to require Tenant, during each month of the Lease Term, to pay an escrow deposit
to Landlord equal to one twelfth (1/12th) of its Proportionate Share of the
estimated taxes. If the Tenant's total tax escrow payments are less than
Tenant's actual Proportionate Share of such Taxes, Tenant shall pay to Landlord,
upon demand, the tax payment shortage. If the total tax escrow payments of
Tenant are more than Tenant's actual Proportionate Share of such Taxes, Landlord
shall retain such excess and credit it to Tenant's next accruing tax escrow
payment.

         31. Landlord agrees to pay before they become delinquent, all costs and
expenses for the provision of utility service to the Building and the grounds,
parking areas, driveways and alleys around the Building, including, without
limitation, the costs of providing electrical, natural gas, water and sanitary
sewer service (hereinafter collectively called the "Utilities"); provided,
however, that the maximum amount of Utilities to be paid by Landlord hereunder
during any one calendar year shall not exceed the Utilities paid for the
calendar year 1997 (hereinafter referred to as the "Base Year"). If in any
calendar year during the Lease term hereof, or any renewal or extension, the
Utilities incurred with respect to the Building and the grounds, parking areas,
driveways and alleys around the Budding during such calendar year shall exceed
the amount of the Utilities paid for the Base Year, Tenant agrees to pay to
Landlord, as Additional Rental, upon demand, the amount of Tenant's
"proportionate share" of the excess Utilities. Tenant's "proportionate share"
shall mean a fraction, the numerator of which is the space contained in the
Premises and the denominator of which is the entire space contained in the
Building. For purposes hereof, the Premises (consisting of the Original Space,
the Additional Space and the Supplemental Additional Space) contain 17,555
square feet of office space, and the Building is comprised of 30,914 square
feet. Therefore, Tenant's "proportionate share" is 56.79% (hereinafter called
"Proportionate Share"). Landlord reserves the right to require Tenant, during
each month of the Lease Term, to pay an escrow deposit to Landlord equal to
one-twelfth (1/12th) of its Proportionate Share of the estimated Utilities. If
the Tenant's total Utility escrow payments are less than Tenant's actual
Proportionate Share of such Utilities, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, upon
demand, the Utility payment shortage. If the total Utility payments of Tenant
are more than Tenant's actual Proportionate Share of such Utilities, Landlord
shall retain such excess and credit it to Tenant's next accruing Utility
payment.

                              EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT ("Agreement"), made and entered into as of April 19,
2004 by and among William R. Blanton, a resident of the State of Georgia
("Employee") and CNB Holdings, Inc., a Georgia corporation ("CNB"). CNB and its
wholly-owned financial institution subsidiaries are hereinafter collectively
referred to as the "Bank Group."

                              W I T N E S S E T H:

      WHEREAS, Employee is currently an executive officer of First Capital
Bancorp, Inc., a Georgia corporation ("FCBI") and First Capital Bank, a
financial institution organized under the laws of Georgia ("Bank") and a
wholly-owned subsidiary of FBCI. FCBI and Bank are hereinafter collectively
referred to as "First Capital." FCBI has entered into an Agreement and Plan of
Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with CNB, pursuant to which FBCI will be merged
with and into CNB (the "Merger"), and subsequently Bank will become a
wholly-owned subsidiary of CNB (CNB and the Bank are hereinafter collectively
referred to as the "Employer");

      WHEREAS, First Capital and Employee have entered into an Employment
Agreement as of January 1, 1997 (the "1997 Contract");

      WHEREAS, upon consummation of the Merger, Employer and Employee each
desire to modify the 1997 Contract by amending and restating the 1997 Contract
in its entirety as set forth herein; and

      WHEREAS, Employer and Employee each deem it necessary and desirable, for
their mutual protection, to execute a written document setting forth the terms
and conditions of said relationship upon consummation of the Merger;

      NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the employment of Employee by
Employer, of the premises and the mutual promises and covenants contained
herein, and

<PAGE>

of other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which
are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound,
agree as follows:

      1.    Employment and Duties.

            1.1   Employer hereby employs Employee to serve as Vice Chairman,
Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer of CNB and Bank and to
perform such duties and responsibilities as customarily performed by persons
acting in such capacity. During the term of this Agreement, Employee will devote
substantially all of his full time and effort to his duties hereunder.

            1.2   Other Business Activities. The parties agree that the Employee
shall be free to engage in other non-competitive business activities and
ventures during the term of this Agreement, so long as any such other business
activities and ventures do not conflict or compete with the business of the Bank
Group or prevent the Employee from the faithful performance of his duties
hereunder.

      2.    Term.

      Subject to the provisions of Section 12 of this Agreement, the period of
Employee's employment under this Agreement shall be deemed to have commenced as
of the effective date of the Merger, and shall continue until December 31, 2004,
unless the Employee dies before December 31, 2004, in which case the period of
employment shall continue until the end of the month of such death.

      3.    Compensation.

      For all services to be rendered by Employee during the term of this
Agreement, Bank shall pay Employee an annual base salary equal to $145,000
subject to normal annual increase through the Effective Date of the Merger (the
"Base Salary"), less normal withholdings, payable in equal monthly or more
frequent installments as are customary under Bank's payroll practices from time
to time, provided, however, that at no time shall the Employee's Base Salary
trail the Base Salary of the Chief Executive Officer of CNB by more than
$10,000. Bank's Board of Directors shall review Employee's Base Salary

<PAGE>

annually and may increase Employee's Base Salary from year to year during the
term of this Agreement subject to the approval of CNB's compensation committee.
Any Base Salary increase (regardless of form), will be determined by the Board
after taking into account, among other things, changes in the cost of living,
Employee's performance and the performance of Bank. Any action or review by the
Board may be delegated to an appropriate committee thereof. The Employee also
shall be entitled to annual incentive compensation in such amount and subject to
such criteria as the parties mutually agree.

      4.    Expenses.

      So long as Employee is employed hereunder, Employee is entitled to receive
reimbursement for, or seek payment directly by Bank of, all reasonable expenses
which are consistent with the normal policy of Bank in the performance of
Employee's duties hereunder, provided that Employee accounts for such expenses
in writing.

      5.    Employee Benefits.

            5.1   So long as Employee is actively employed hereunder, Employee
will be entitled to participate in the employee benefit, option, bonus, dental,
health, life and disability insurance programs, and any other compensation or
benefit programs covering executive officers of the Bank Group substantially
similar to those amounts received by the group of executive officers of the Bank
Group disclosed in any CNB filings as the group of highly compensated employees
or similar designation as well as the item set forth on Exhibit A attached
hereto. In addition, for the 2004 calendar year, the Employee shall be entitled
to a pro rata portion of the annual bonus otherwise payable to him pursuant to
Section 4(b) of the 1997 Contract; provided, however, that such bonus shall be
calculated based upon the performance of FCBI through the last day of the
calendar month coinciding with or immediately preceding the effective date of
the Merger and such bonus shall be payable no later than 30 days thereafter.

            5.2   The Bank will provide the Employee with the use of a Chevrolet
Suburban (or substantially similar make of automobile) during the term of this

<PAGE>

Agreement. The automobile will be replaced with a new model no less frequently
than every two (2) years. The Bank will pay all expenses associated with the
operation and maintenance of the automobile, including, without limitation,
maintenance expenses, tag fees, insurance premiums and fuel costs.

            5.3   During the term of this Agreement, the Bank will provide the
Employee with supplemental cash bonuses when and as necessary from time to time
to permit the Employee to pay the premiums for maintaining an existing insurance
policy on his life with a $5,000,000 death benefit. The amount of each such
supplemental cash bonus will equal the amount of the then due periodic premium.

            5.4   During the term of this Agreement, the Bank will pay the
monthly dues associated with the Employee's existing membership in the Atlanta
Athletic Club.

      6.    Vacation.

      Employee shall be entitled to four weeks annual vacation.

      7.    Confidentiality.

      In Employee's position as an employee of Employer, Employee has had and
will have access to confidential information, trade secrets and other
proprietary information of vital importance to the Bank Group and has and will
also develop relationships with customers, employees and others who deal with
the Bank Group which are of value to the Bank Group. Employer requires as a
condition to Employee's employment with Employer that Employee agrees to certain
restrictions on Employee's use of the proprietary information and valuable
relationships developed during Employee's employment with Employer. In
consideration of the terms and conditions contained herein, the parties hereby
agree as follows:

            7.1   Employer and Employee mutually agree and acknowledge that
Employer may entrust Employee with highly sensitive, confidential, restricted
and proprietary information concerning various Business Opportunities (as
hereinafter defined), customer lists, and personnel matters. Employee
acknowledges that he shall

<PAGE>

bear a fiduciary responsibility to Employer to protect such information from use
or disclosure that is not necessary for the performance of Employee's duties
hereunder, as an essential incident of Employee's employment with Employer.

            7.2   For the purposes of this Section, the following definitions
shall apply:

                  7.2.1 "Trade Secret" shall mean the identity and addresses of
customers of the Bank Group, the whole or any portion or phase of any scientific
or technical information, design, process, procedure, formula or improvement
that is valuable and secret (in the sense that it is not generally known to
competitors of the Bank Group) and which is defined as a "trade secret" under
Georgia law pursuant to the Georgia Trade Secrets Act.

                  7.2.2 "Confidential Information" shall mean any data or
information, other than Trade Secrets, which is material to the Bank Group and
not generally known by the public. Confidential Information shall include, but
not be limited to, Business Opportunities of the Bank Group (as hereinafter
defined), the details of this Agreement, the Bank Group's business plans and
financial statements and projections, information as to the capabilities of the
Bank Group's employees, their respective salaries and benefits and any other
terms of their employment and the costs of the services the Bank Group may offer
or provide to the customers it serves, to the extent such information is
material to the Bank Group and not generally known by the public.

                  7.2.3 "Business Opportunities" shall mean any specialized
information or plans of the Bank Group concerning the provision of financial
services to the public, together with all related information concerning the
specifics of any contemplated financial services regardless of whether the Bank
Group has contacted or communicated with such target person or business.

<PAGE>

                  7.2.4 Notwithstanding the definitions of Trade Secrets,
Confidential Information, and Business Opportunities set forth above, Trade
Secrets, Confidential Information, and Business Opportunities shall not include
any information:

                           (i)   that is or becomes generally known to the
public;

                           (ii)  that is already known by Employee or is
developed by Employee after termination of employment through entirely
independent efforts;

                           (iii) that Employee obtains from an independent
source having a bona fide right to use and disclose such information;

                           (iv)  that is required to be disclosed by law, except
to the extent eligible for special treatment under an appropriate protective
order; or

                           (v)   that CNB's Board of Directors approves for
release.

            7.3   Employee shall not, without the prior approval of CNB's Board
of Directors, during his employment with Employer and for so long thereafter as
the information or data remain Trade Secrets, use or disclose, or negligently
permit any unauthorized person who is not an employee of the Bank Group to use,
disclose, or gain access to, any Trade Secrets of the Bank Group, or of any
other person or entity making Trade Secrets available for the Bank Group's use.

            7.4   Employee shall not, without the prior written consent of CNB,
during his employment with Employer and for a period of 24 months thereafter as
long as the information or data remain competitively sensitive, use or disclose,
or negligently permit any unauthorized person who is not employed by the Bank
Group to use, disclose, or gain access to, any Confidential Information to which
the Employee obtained access by virtue of his employment with Employer, except
as provided in Section 7.2 of this Agreement.

<PAGE>

      8.    Observance of Security Measures.

      During Employee's employment with Employer, Employee is required to
observe all security measures adopted to protect Trade Secrets, Confidential
Information, and Business Opportunity of Employer.

      9.    Return of Materials.

      Upon the request of Employer and, in any event, upon the termination of
his employment with Employer, Employee shall deliver to Employer all memoranda,
notes, records, manuals or other documents, including all copies of such
materials containing Trade Secrets or Confidential Information, whether made or
compiled by Employee or furnished to him from any source by virtue of his
employment with Employer.

      10.   Severability.

      Employee acknowledges and agrees that the covenants contained in Sections
7, 8, 9 and 14 of this Agreement shall be construed as covenants independent of
one another and distinct from the remaining terms and conditions of this
Agreement, and severable from every other contract and course of business
between Employer and Employee, and that the existence of any claim, suit or
action by Employee against Employer, whether predicated upon this or any other
agreement, shall not constitute a defense to Employer's enforcement of any
covenant contained in Sections 7, 8, 9 and 14 of this Agreement.

      11.   Specific Performance.

      Employee acknowledges and agrees that the covenants contained in Sections
7, 8, 9 and 14 of this Agreement shall survive any termination of employment, as
applicable, with or without Cause, at the instigation or upon the initiative of
either party. Employee further acknowledges and agrees that the ascertainment of
damages in the event of Employee's breach of any covenant contained in Sections
7, 8, 9 and 14 of this Agreement would be difficult, if at all possible.
Employee therefore acknowledges and agrees that Employer shall be entitled in
addition to and not in limitation of any other rights, remedies, or damages
available to Employer in arbitration, at law or in equity,

<PAGE>

upon submitting whatever affidavit the law may require, and posting any
necessary bond, to have a court of competent jurisdiction enjoin Employee from
committing any such breach.

      12.   Termination.

      During the term of this Agreement, employment, including without
limitation, except as otherwise provided in Section 12 of this Agreement, all
compensation, salary, expenses reimbursement, and employee benefits may be
terminated as follows:

            12.1  At the election of Employer for Cause;

            12.2  At Employee's election upon Employer's breach of any material
                  provision of this Agreement;

            12.3  "Cause" shall mean (i) material dishonesty, gross negligence
or willful misconduct by the Employee in the performance of his duties hereunder
which conduct results in material financial or reputational harm to the Bank
Group; (ii) conviction (from which no appeal may be, or is, timely taken) of the
Employee of a felony; (iii) initiation of suspension or removal proceedings
against the Employee by federal or state regulatory authorities acting under
lawful authority pursuant to provisions of federal or state law or regulation
which may be in effect from time to time; (iv) knowing violation by Employee of
federal or state banking laws or regulations; or (v) refusal by Employee to
perform a duly authorized and lawful written directive of the Bank's Board of
Directors. No termination for Cause shall be effective unless it is approved by
a two-thirds (2/3) vote of CNB's Board of Directors, excluding the vote, if any,
of the Employee.

            12.4  Upon Employee's death, or, at the election of either party,
upon Employee's disability as determined in accordance with the standards and
procedures under Employee's then-current long-term disability insurance coverage
provided by Employer, or, if such disability insurance coverage provided by
Employer is not then in

      14.   Covenant Not to Compete and Not to Solicit.

            14.1  For purposes of this Section 14, Bank and Employee conduct the
following business in the following geographic areas:

                  14.1.1 Bank is engaged in the business of transacting business
as a bank which accepts deposits, makes loans, cash checks and otherwise engages
in the business of banking ("Business of Bank").

                  14.1.2 Before and after the merger, Bank will actively conduct
business in the geographic areas of Georgia from its main office located at
Suite A, 3320 Holcomb Bridge Road, N.W., Norcross, Georgia 30092 (the "Main
Office").

                  14.1.3 Employee has established business relationships and
performs the duties described in Section 1.1 of this Agreement in the geographic
area covered by a circle having a radius of 50 miles from the Main Office, and
will work primarily in such area while in the employ of Bank.

            14.2  Employee covenants and agrees that for a period of six months
after the termination of his employment with Bank for any reason, Employee shall
not, directly or indirectly, as principal, agent, trustee, consultant or through
the agency of any corporation, partnership, association, trust or other entity
or person, on Employee's own behalf or for others, provide the duties described
in Section 1.1 of this Agreement for any entity or person conducting the
Business of Bank within the geographic area covered by a circle having a radius
of 50 miles from the Main Office.

            14.3  Employee acknowledges that an important factor leading to the
Merger is the loyalty of Bank's employees. Accordingly, Employee agrees that
both during the term of this Agreement and for a period of six months after the
termination of this Agreement for any reason, Employee will not on his own
behalf or in the service of

<PAGE>

or on behalf of others, solicit, recruit or hire away or attempt to solicit,
recruit or hire away, any Bank employee to another person or entity providing
products or services that are competitive with the Business of the Bank.
Employee further agrees that information as to the capabilities of Bank's
employees, their salaries and benefits, and any other terms of their employment
is Confidential Information and proprietary to Bank.

            14.4  Employee and Bank shall periodically amend this Agreement by
updating the address referenced in Section 14.1.2 of this Agreement so that it
at all times lists the then current geographic area served by Bank for which
Employee performs the duties described in Section 1.1 of this Agreement.

            14.5  The covenants contained in this Section 14 shall be construed
as agreements severable from and independent of each other and of any other
provision of this or any other contract or agreement between the parties hereto.
The existence of any claim or cause of action by Employee against Bank, whether
predicated upon this or any other contract or agreement, shall not constitute a
defense to the enforcement by Bank of said covenants.

      15.   Change in Control.

            None of the benefits provided in Section 15 of this Agreement shall
be payable to Employee unless (i) there shall have been a Change in Control of
any member of the Bank Group, as set forth in this Section 15, and (ii) Employee
is employed by Bank at such time.

            15.1  "CNB Board" shall mean the Board of Directors of CNB.

            15.2  "Change in Control" shall be deemed to have occurred if:

                  15.2.1 During the term of this Agreement, the individuals
constituting CNB's Board immediately following the effective date of the Merger
("Beginning CNB Board") cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority
of said Board, provided that in making such determination, a Director elected by
or on the recommendation of the Beginning CNB Board shall be deemed to be a
member of such

<PAGE>

Beginning CNB Board, excluding, for this purpose, any Director whose assumption
of office occurs as a result of an actual or threatened election contest or
proxy contest with respect to the election or removal of directors; or

                  15.2.2 If (i) a notice or an application is filed with the
Federal Reserve Board ("FRB") pursuant to Regulation "Y" of the FRB under the
Change in Bank Control Act or the Bank Holding Company Act or with the Georgia
Department of Banking and Finance (the "Department") pursuant to the Financial
Institutions Code of Georgia for permission to acquire control of any member of
the Bank Group, or (ii) more than 25% of CNB's outstanding common stock or
equivalent in voting power of any class or classes of outstanding securities of
CNB entitled to vote in elections of Directors shall be acquired by any
corporation or other person, or group. "Group" shall mean persons who act in
concert as described in Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d) (2) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 as amended; or

                  15.2.3 CNB shall become a subsidiary of another corporation or
shall be merged or consolidated into another corporation and (i) less than a
majority of the outstanding voting shares of the parent or surviving corporation
after such acquisition, merger or consolidation are owned immediately after such
acquisition, merger or consolidation by the owners of the voting shares of CNB
immediately before such acquisition, merger or consolidation, or (ii) a person
or entity (excluding any corporation resulting from such business combination or
any employee benefit plan or related trust of CNB or such resulting corporation)
beneficially owns or controls 25% or more of the combined voting power of the
then outstanding securities of such corporation, except to the extent that such
ownership existed prior to the business combination, or (iii) less than a
majority of the members of the board of directors of the corporation resulting
from such business combination were members of the CNB Board at the time of the
execution of the initial agreement for such merger or consolidation; or

<PAGE>

                  15.2.4 Substantially all of the assets of CNB shall be sold to
another entity other than a sale to a wholly-owned subsidiary of CNB; or

                  15.2.5 The sale or transfer of any of the stock or
substantially all of the assets of any member of the Bank Group other than CNB
regardless of the form of the transaction, other than a sale or transfer to a
wholly-owned subsidiary of CNB.

            15.3  In the event of a Change in Control, if Employer terminates
Employee without Cause, or if Employer takes any action specified in Section
15.4 of this Agreement during the term of this Agreement following the date of
occurrence of a Change in Control ("Termination of Employment"), Bank shall pay
Employee a lump sum cash payment in an amount equal to the product of three (3)
multiplied by Employee's annual compensation from Bank, including salary,
bonuses, all perquisites, and all other forms of compensation paid to Employee
for his benefit or the benefit of his family, however characterized, for the
fiscal year during the term of this Agreement for which such compensation was
highest ("Employee's Annual Salary"). The payment provided for in this Section
15.3 shall be due and payable to Employee within 30 days after the date of
Termination of Employment. In no event shall payment(s) described in this
Section exceed the amount permitted by Section 280G of the Internal Revenue
Code, as amended (the "Code"). Therefore, if the aggregate present value
(determined as of the date of the Change in Control in accordance with the
provisions of Section 280G of the Code) of both the severance payment and all
other payments to the Employee in the nature of compensation which are
contingent on a Change in Control (the "Aggregate Severance") would result in a
"parachute payment," as defined under Section 280G of the Code, then the
Aggregate Severance shall not be greater than an amount equal to 2.99 multiplied
by Employee's "base amount" for the "base period," as those terms are defined
under Section 280G of the Code. In the event the Aggregate Severance is required
to be reduced pursuant to this Section, the Employee shall be entitled to
determine which

<PAGE>

portions of the Aggregate Severance are to be reduced so that the Aggregate
Severance satisfies the limit set forth in the preceding sentence.

            15.4  During the remaining term of this Agreement following the
effective date of a Change in Control, if Employer takes any of the following
actions, such action shall be deemed to be a termination without Cause. Those
actions are: (i) a reduction in Employee's salary, bonus provisions or other
perquisites as were in effect immediately prior to a Change in Control, (ii) a
material change in Employee's status, offices, titles, reporting requirements,
lending authority after initial modification by CNB after the Merger, duties or
responsibilities with Bank as in effect on the effective date of the Merger
(iii) a failure by Bank to increase Employee's salary annually in accordance
with an established procedure, or (iv) due to Bank's requirement that Employee
relocate more than 50 miles from the Main Office. In any such event, Employee
shall be entitled to all payments provided for in Section 15.3 of this
Agreement.

      16.   Miscellaneous.

            16.1  This Agreement constitutes and expresses the whole agreement
of the parties in reference to the employment of Employee by Employer, and there

undertakings oral or written, between the parties other than those set forth
herein.

            16.6  This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each
of which shall be deemed an original and all of which taken together shall
constitute but a single instrument.

            16.7  Upon the Effective Time of the Merger, the 1997 Contract shall
be amended and restated in its entirety as set forth herein, except as provided
in Section 5.1 hereof. The change of control provisions of the 1997 Contract
shall not apply or be activated by the Merger.
