    2. Dividend
      Rights.

    

    2.1
       In
      each
      calendar year, the holders of the then outstanding Series B Convertible
      Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the
      Board, out of any funds and assets of the Company legally available therefore,
      noncumulative dividends in an amount equal to any dividends or other
      Distribution on the Common Stock in such calendar year (other than a Common
      Stock Dividend). No dividends (other than a Common Stock Dividend) shall be

      payment to the holders of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock
      simultaneously. Dividends on the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall
      not
      be mandatory or cumulative, and no rights or interest shall accrue to the
      holders of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock by reason of the fact that
      the Company shall fail to declare or pay dividends on the Series B Convertible
      Preferred Stock, except for such rights or interest that may arise as a result
      of the Company paying a dividend or making a Distribution on the Common Stock

    2.2 Participation
      Rights. Dividends shall be declared pro rata on the Common Stock and the Series
      B Convertible Preferred Stock on a pari passu basis according to the number
      of
      shares of Common Stock held by such holders, where each holder of shares of
      Series B Preferred Stock is to be treated for this purpose as holding the number
      of shares of Common Stock to which the holders thereof would be entitled if
      they
      converted their shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock at the time
      of
      such dividend in accordance with Section 4 hereof.

    2.3 Non-Cash
      Dividends. Whenever a dividend or Distribution provided for in this Section
      2
      shall be payable in property other than cash (other than a Common Stock
      Dividend), the value of such dividend or Distribution shall be deemed to be
      the
      fair market value of such property as determined in good faith by the
      Board.

    

    3. Liquidation
      Rights.
      In the
      event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company; whether
      voluntary or involuntary, the funds and assets of the Company that may be
      legally distributed to the Company’s shareholders (the “Available Funds and
      Assets”) shall be distributed to shareholders in the following
      manner:

    

    3.1 Series
      B
      Convertible Preferred Stock. The holders of each share of Series B Preferred
      Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid, out of the Available Funds
      and Assets, and prior and in preference to any payment or distribution (or
      any
      setting apart of any payment or distribution) of any Available Funds and Assets
      on any shares of Common Stock or subsequent series of preferred stock, an amount
      per share equal to the Original Issue Price of the Series B Convertible
      Preferred Stock plus all declared but unpaid dividends on the Series B
      Convertible Preferred Stock. If upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding
      up
      of the Company, the Available Funds and Assets shall be insufficient to permit
      the payment to holders of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of their
      full
      preferential amount as described in this subsection, then all of the remaining
      Available Funds and Assets shall be distributed among the holders of the then
      outstanding Series B Convertible Preferred Stock pro rata, according to the
      number of outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock held by
      each holder thereof.

    

    3.2 Participation
      Rights. If there are any Available Funds and Assets remaining after the payment
      or distribution (or the setting aside for payment or distribution) to the
      holders of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of their full preferential
      amounts described above in this Section 3, then all such remaining Available
      Funds and Assets shall be distributed among the holders of the then outstanding
      Common Stock and Preferred Stock pro rata according to the number and
      preferences of the shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock (as converted
      to
      Common Stock) held by such holders.

    

    3.3 Merger
      or
      Sale of Assets. A reorganization or any other consolidation or merger of the
      Company with or into any other corporation, or any other sale of all or
      substantially all of the assets of the Company, shall not be deemed to be a
      liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company within the meaning of
      this
      Section 3, and the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled only
      to (i) the right provided in any agreement or plan governing the reorganization
      or other consolidation, merger or sale of assets transaction, (ii) the rights
      contained in the General Corporation Law of the State of Nevada and (iii) the
      rights contained in other Sections hereof.

    

    3.4 Non-Cash
      Consideration. If any assets of the Company distributed to shareholders in
      connection with any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company are
      other than cash, then the value of such assets shall be their fair market value
      as determined by the Board, except that any securities to be distributed to
      shareholders in a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company shall
      be
      valued as follows:

    (a)
       The
      method of valuation of securities not subject to investment letter or other
      similar restrictions on free marketability shall be as follows:

    

    
      	 	
              (i)

            	
              if
                the securities are then traded on a national securities exchange
                or the
                Nasdaq National Market (or a similar national quotation system),
                then the
                value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing prices of
                the
                securities on such exchange or system over the 30-day period ending
                three
                (3) days prior to the distribution;
                and,

            

    

    

    
      	 	
              (ii)

            	
              if
                actively traded over-the-counter, then the value shall be deemed
                to be the
                average of the closing bid prices over the 30-day period ending three
                (3)
                days prior to the distribution; and

            

    

    

    
      	 	
              (iii)

            	
              if
                there is no active public market, then the value shall be the fair
                market
                value thereof, as determined in good faith (i) the Board of Directors
                of
                the Company.

            

    

    

    (b)
       The
      method of valuation of securities subject to investment letter or other
      restrictions on free marketability shall be to make an appropriate discount
      from
      the market value determined as above in subparagraphs (a)(i), (ii) or (iii)
      of
      this subsection to reflect the approximate fair market value thereof, as
      determined in good faith by the Board.

    

    4. Conversion
      Rights.

    

    (a) Conversion
      of Preferred Stock. Each share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall
      be
      convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the issuance
      of such share, into that number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common
      Stock of the Company described equal to one percent (1%) of the outstanding
      shares of Common Stock of the Company then outstanding, after giving
      consideration to the shares issued as a result of the conversion, any options,
      warrants, or other convertible securities then outstanding, and any other
      securities issued simultaneously on the date of conversion.

    

    (b) Procedures
      for Exercise of Conversion Rights. The holders of any shares of Series B
      Convertible Preferred Stock may exercise their conversion rights as to all
      such
      shares or any part thereof by delivering to the Company during regular business
      hours, at the office of any transfer agent of the Company for the Series B
      Convertible Preferred Stock, or at the principal office of the Company or at
      such other place as may be designated by the Company, the certificate or
      certificates for the shares to be converted, duly endorsed for transfer to
      the
      Company (if required by the Company), accompanied by written notice stating
      that
      the holder elects to convert such shares. Conversion shall be deemed to have
      been effected on the date when such delivery is made, and such date is referred
      to herein as the “Conversion Date.” As promptly as practicable after the
      Conversion Date, but not later than ten (10) business days thereafter, the
      Company shall issue and deliver to or upon the written order of such holder,
      at
      such office or other place designated by the Company, a certificate or
      certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock to which such holder
      is entitled and a check for cash with respect to any fractional interest in
      a
      share of Common Stock as provided in section 4(c) below. The holder shall be
      deemed to have become a shareholder of record on the Conversion Date. Upon
      conversion of only a portion of the number of shares of Series B Convertible
      Preferred Stock represented by a certificate surrendered for conversion, the
      Company shall issue and deliver to or upon the written order of the holder
      of
      the certificate so surrendered for conversion, at the expense of the Company,
      a
      new certificate covering the number of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred
      Stock representing the unconverted portion of the certificate so
      surrendered.

    (c) No
      Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock or scrip shall be issued
      upon conversion of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. If more
      than
      one share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall be surrendered for
      conversion at any one time by the same holder, the number of full shares of
      Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis
      of
      the aggregate number of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock so
      surrendered. Instead of any fractional shares of Common Stock which would
      otherwise be issuable upon conversion of any shares of Series B Convertible
      Preferred Stock, the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such
      fractional interest equal to the fair market value of such fractional interest
      as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors.

    

    (d) Payment
      of Taxes for Conversions. The Company shall pay any and all issue and other
      taxes that may be payable in respect of any issue or delivery of shares of
      Common Stock on conversion pursuant hereto of Series B Convertible Preferred
      Stock. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any tax which may
      be
      payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares
      of Common Stock in a name other than that in which the shares of Series B
      Convertible Preferred Stock so converted were registered, and no such issue
      or
      delivery shall be made unless and until the person requesting such issue has
      paid to the Company the amount of any such tax, or has established, to the
      satisfaction of the Company, that such tax has been paid.

    

    (e) Reservation
      of Common Stock. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available,
      out
      of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting
      the conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, the full number
      of
      shares of Common Stock deliverable upon the conversion of all shares of all
      series of preferred stock from time to time outstanding.

    

    (f) Registration
      or Listing of Shares of Common Stock. If any shares of Common Stock to be
      reserved for the purpose of conversion of shares of Series B Convertible
      Preferred Stock require registration or listing with, or approval of, any
      governmental authority, stock exchange or other regulatory body under any
      federal or state law or regulation or otherwise, before such shares may be
      validly issued or delivered upon conversion, the Company will in good faith
      and
      as expeditiously as possible endeavor to secure such registration, listing
      or
      approval, as the case may be.

    (g) Status
      of
      Common Stock Issued Upon Conversion. All shares of Common Stock which may be
      issued upon conversion of the shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock
      will upon issuance by the Company be validly issued, fully paid and
      nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the
      issuance thereof.

    

    (h) Status
      of
      Converted Preferred Stock. In case any shares of Series B Convertible Preferred
      Stock shall be converted pursuant to this Section 4, the shares so converted
      shall be canceled and shall not be issuable by the Company.

    

    5. Adjustment
      of Conversion Price.

    

    (a) General
      Provisions. In case, at any time after the date hereof, of any capital
      reorganization, or any reclassification of the stock of the Company (other
      than
      a change in par value or as a result of a stock dividend or subdivision,
      split-up or combination of shares), or the consolidation or merger of the
      Company with or into another person (other than a consolidation or merger in
      which the Company is the continuing entity and which does not result in any
      change in the Common Stock), or of the sale or other disposition of all or
      substantially all the properties and assets of the Company as an entirety to
      any
      other person, the shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall, after
      such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or other
      disposition, be convertible into the kind and number of shares of stock or
      other
      securities or property of the Company or of the entity resulting from such
      consolidation or surviving such merger or to which such properties and assets
      shall have been sold or otherwise disposed to which such holder would have
      been
      entitled if immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification,
      consolidation, merger, sale or other disposition it had converted its shares
      of
      Series B Convertible Preferred Stock into Common Stock. The provisions of this
      section 5(a) shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations,
      reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales or other dispositions. The
      provisions of this section 5 shall not affect the conversion of the Class A
      Convertible Preferred Stock in the event of a forward or reverse stock
      split.

    

    (b) No
      Impairment. The Company will not, through any reorganization, transfer of
      assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or
      any
      other voluntary action, including amending this Certificate of Designation,
      avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to
      be
      observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good
      faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this section 5 and
      in
      the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to
      protect the conversion rights of the holders of Series B Convertible Preferred
      Stock against impairment. This provision shall not restrict the Company from
      amending its Articles of Incorporation in accordance with the General
      Corporation Law of the State of Nevada and
      the
      terms hereof.

    

    6. Notices.
      Any
      notices required by the provisions of this Certificate of Designation to be
      given to the holders of shares of Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred
      Stock shall be deemed given if deposited in the United States mail, postage
      prepaid, and addressed to each holder of record at its address appearing on
      the
      books of the Company.

    7. Voting
      Provisions.
      Each
      share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the number
      of
      votes to which the holders thereof would be entitled if they converted their
      shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock at the time of voting in
      accordance with Section 4 hereof.

    

    8. Protective
      Provisions.
      The
      Company may not take any of the following actions without the approval of a
      majority of the holders of the outstanding Series B Convertible Preferred Stock:
      (i) effect a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or which
      results in the holders of the Company’s capital stock prior to the transaction
      owning less than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the Company’s
      capital stock after the transaction, (ii) alter or change the rights,
      preferences, or privileges of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, (iii)

      Preferred Stock, (iv) authorize the issuance of securities having a preference
      over or on par with the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, or (v) effectuate
      a forward or reverse stock split or dividend of the Company’s common
      stock.

    

    9. Board
      of Director Provisions.
      So
      long
      as any shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are outstanding, (a)
      the
      Company shall not, without the affirmative vote of the holders of at least
      a
      majority of the then outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock,

    1.9 Change
      in Control shall
      mean the occurrence of any one of the following events: 

     

    (i) Change
      in Ownership.
      A
      change in the ownership of WGNB or the Bank (each being individually referred
      to
      in this Section as a “Corporation”) that occurs on the date that any one person,
      or more than one person acting as a group, acquires ownership of stock of a
      Corporation that, together with stock held by such person or group, constitutes
      more than fifty percent (50%) of the total fair market value or total voting
      power of the stock of such Corporation. However, if any one person or more
      than
      one person acting as a group is considered to own more than fifty percent (50%)
      of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of a
      Corporation, the acquisition of additional stock by the same person or persons
      is not considered to cause a change in the ownership of such Corporation (or
      to
      cause a change in the effective control of such Corporation (within the meaning
      of subsection (ii) herein). An increase in the percentage of stock owned by
      any
      one person, or persons acting as a group, as a result of a transaction in which
      a Corporation acquires its stock in exchange for property will be treated as
      an
      acquisition of stock for purposes of this section. This applies only when there
      is a transfer of stock of a Corporation (or issuance of stock of a Corporation)
      and stock in such Corporation remains outstanding after the
      transaction.

    

    (ii) Change
      in Effective Control.
      A change
      in the effective control of a Corporation that occurs on the date that
      either:

     

    (A)  Any
      one person, or more than one person acting as a group, acquires (or has acquired
      during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition
      by
      such person or persons) ownership of stock of such Corporation possessing 35
      percent or more of the total voting power of the stock of such Corporation;
      or

     

    (B)  a
      majority of members of the Board is replaced during any 12-month period by
      directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the
      members of the Board prior to the date of the appointment or election.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        -2-

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    (iii) Change
      in Ownership of a Substantial Portion of Assets.
      A change
      in the ownership of a substantial portion of a Corporation’s assets shall occur
      on the date that any one person, or more than one person acting as a group,
      acquires (or has acquired during the 12-month period ending on the date of
      the
      most recent acquisition by such person or persons) assets from such Corporation
      that have a total gross fair market value equal to or more than 40 percent
      of
      the total gross fair market value of all of the assets of such Corporation
      immediately prior to such acquisition or acquisitions. For this purpose, gross
      fair market value means the value of the assets of the Corporation, or the
      value
      of the assets being disposed of, determined without regard to any liabilities
      associated with such assets.

     

    In
      determining whether a Change in Control has occurred, the following rules shall
      apply:

     

    (A)
      Stock
      Attribution Rules.
      For
      purposes of this section, Code Section 318(a) applies to determine stock
      ownership. Stock underlying a vested option is considered owned by the
      individual who holds the vested option (and the stock underlying an unvested
      option is not considered owned by the individual who holds the unvested option).
      For purposes of the preceding sentence, however, if a vested option is
      exercisable for stock that is not substantially vested (as defined by Treasury
      Regulation Sections 1.83-3(b) and (j)), the stock underlying the option is
      not
      treated as owned by the individual who holds the option. In addition, mutual
      and
      cooperative corporations are treated as having stock for purposes of this
      subsection.

     

    (B)
      Persons
      Acting as a Group.
      For
      purposes of this section, persons will not be considered to be acting as a
      group
      solely because they purchase or own stock of the same Corporation at the same
      time or as a result of the same public offering. However, persons will be
      considered to be acting as a group if they are owners of a corporation that
      enters into a merger, consolidation, purchase or acquisition of stock, or
      similar business transaction with one of the Corporations. If a person,
      including an entity, owns stock in both corporations that enter into a merger,
      consolidation, purchase or acquisition of stock, or similar transaction, such
      shareholder is considered to be acting as a group with other shareholders in
      a
      corporation prior to the transaction giving rise to the change and not with
      respect to the ownership interest in the other corporation. 

     

    (C)
      Transfers
      to a Related Person.
      There
      is no Change in Control event with respect to subsection (iii) when there is
      a
      transfer by a Corporation to an entity that is controlled by the shareholders
      of
      the transferring Corporation immediately after the transfer. A transfer of
      assets by a Corporation is not treated as a change in the ownership of such
      assets if the assets are transferred to:

     

    (1)  A
      shareholder of the Corporation (immediately before the asset transfer) in
      exchange for or with respect to its stock;

     

    (2)  An
      entity, 50 percent or more of the total value or voting power of which is owned,
      directly or indirectly, by the Corporation;

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        -3-

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    (3)  A
      person, or more than one person acting as a group, that owns, directly or
      indirectly, 50 percent or more of the total value or voting power of all the
      outstanding stock of the Corporation; or

     

    (4)  An
      entity, at least 50 percent of the total value or voting power of which is
      owned, directly or indirectly, by a person described in subsection
      (3).

     

    For
      purposes of this subsection (C) and except as otherwise provided, a person’s
      status is determined immediately after the transfer of the assets. For example,
      a transfer to a corporation in which the transferor Corporation has no ownership
      interest before the transaction, but which is a majority owned subsidiary of
      the
      transferor Corporation after the transaction is not treated as a change in
      the
      ownership of the assets of the transferor Corporation.

     

    1.10 Code shall
      mean the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

     

    1.11 Committee
      shall
      mean the Executive Compensation and Management Succession Committee of the
      Board, or such other committee to which the Board delegates authority regarding
      executive compensation.

     

    1.12 Confidential
      Information
      shall
      mean, other than Trade Secrets, any data or information, which is material
      to
      the Bank and/or WGNB and not generally known by the public. Confidential
      Information shall include, but not be limited to, the taking of deposits, making
      loans and extensions of credit, cashing checks, and other Business of the Bank,
      any information pertaining to the identity of customers, depositors, or
      borrowers served by the Bank, Business Opportunities of the Bank, the details
      of
      this Agreement, WGNB’s and the Bank’s business, marketing and acquisition plans
      and financial statements and projections, and the costs of the services the
      Bank
      may offer or provide to the customers, depositors or borrowers it serves, to
      the
      extent such information is material to WGNB and the Bank and not generally
      known
      to the public.

     

    1.13 Disability 
      means
      the Executive ’s eligibility to receive income replacement benefits for a period
      of not less than three (3) months under an accident and health plan covering
      employees of the Bank due to a medically-determinable physical or mental
      impairment, or if no such plan is applicable, the Executive ’s inability to
      engage in any substantial gainful activity due to a medically-determinable
      physical or mental impairment, which can be expected to result in death or
      can
      be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve (12) months.

      mean January 1, 2007

        -4-

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    1.18 Termination
      Date shall

      Executive is engaged and agrees to perform services for and on behalf of the

      the Bank. The Executive shall have such duties and authority as customarily
      performed by persons acting in such capacities or as may be assigned to him

      duties diligently and efficiently and in accordance with the reasonable

      not
      interfere with the Executive’s performance of his duties hereunder, and the
      Executive may participate in industry, civic and charitable activities so long
      as such activities do not materially interfere with the performance of his

    RESTRICTIVE
      COVENANTS

     

    4.1 Confidentiality.
      In the
      Executive’s position as an Executive of the Bank, the Executive has had and will
      have access to Confidential Information, Trade Secrets and other proprietary
      information of vital importance to WGNB and the Bank and has and will also
      develop relationships with customers, employees and others who deal with the
      Bank which are of value to the Bank and WGNB. The Bank requires as a condition
      of Executive’s employment that Executive agree to certain restrictions on
      Executive’s use of the proprietary information and valuable relationships
      developed during Executive’s employment with the Bank. The Bank and the
      Executive therefore agree and acknowledge that the Bank may entrust the
      Executive with highly sensitive confidential, restricted and proprietary
      information concerning various Business Opportunities, customer lists, and
      personnel matters. The Executive acknowledges that he shall bear a fiduciary
      responsibility to WGNB and the Bank to protect such information from use or
      disclosure that is not necessary for the performance of Executive’s duties
      hereunder, as an essential incident of the Executive’s employment with the
      Bank.

     

    4.2 Exclusions.
      Notwithstanding the definitions of Trade Secrets, Confidential Information
      and
      Business Opportunities set forth in Section 1, Trade Secrets, Confidential
      Information and Business Opportunities shall not include any information
      that:

     

    (a) is
      or
      becomes generally known to the public;

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        -7-

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    (b) is
      developed by Executive after termination of employment through entirely
      independent efforts;

     

    (c) the
      Executive obtains from an independent source having a bona fide right to use
      and
      disclose such information;

     

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

     

    (e) the
      Bank
      or WGNB approves for unrestricted release by express written
      authorization.

     

    4.3 New
      Developments.
      Any
      discovery, invention, process or improvement made or discovered by the Executive
      during the term of this Agreement in connection with or in any way affecting
      or
      relating to the business of WGNB or the Bank or any of its Affiliates (as then
      carried on or under active consideration) shall forthwith be disclosed to the
      Bank and shall belong to and be the absolute property of WGNB and the Bank.
      The
      preceding sentence does not apply to any invention for which no equipment,
      supplies, facility, or trade secret information of the Bank was used and which
      was developed entirely on the Executive’s own time, unless the invention relates
      directly to the business of the Bank or WGNB or its Affiliates or to its or
      their actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development, or the
      invention results from any work performed by the Executive for the
      Bank.

     

    4.4 Security
      Measures.
      During
      the Executive’s employment with the Bank, the Executive is required to observe
      all security measures adopted to protect Trade Secrets, Confidential Information
      and Business Opportunities of WGNB and the Bank.

     

    4.5 Use
      and Return of Documents and Property.
      The
      Executive acknowledges that in the course of his employment with the Bank,
      he
      will have the opportunity to inspect and use certain property, both tangible
      and
      intangible, of WGNB and the Bank and its Affiliates. All such property shall
      remain the exclusive property of WGNB, the Bank and its Affiliates, and the
      Executive has and shall have no right or interest in such property. The
      Executive shall use WGNB’s and the Bank’s property only during employment and
      only in the performance of his job and to further WGNB’s and the Bank’s
      interests, and he will not remove such property from the Bank’s premises except
      to the extent necessary to perform his duties and to the extent approved by
      the
      Bank and/or WGNB, either expressly or generally under its policies. Upon the
      request of WGNB or the Bank, and, in any event, promptly upon the Executive’s
      Termination Date, the Executive shall return to the Bank all of the Bank’s and
      WGNB’s memoranda, notes, records, data, books, manuals, computer programs,
      audio-visual materials, correspondence, lists, every piece of information
      recorded in any form, including all copies of such materials, and all other
      tangible property.

     

    4.6 Nonsolicitation
      of Customers, Borrowers or Depositors.
      The
      Executive agrees that during the term of his employment with the Bank, he will
      not, directly or indirectly, without the Bank’s prior written consent, contact
      any customer, depositor or borrower of the Bank or any of its Affiliates for
      business purposes unrelated to furthering the Business of the Bank. Executive
      further agrees that for a period of twenty-four (24) months following his
      Termination Date, he will not directly or indirectly, (i) contact, solicit
      or
      divert, or attempt to contact, solicit, divert or take away, any customer,
      depositor or borrower of the Bank or its Affiliates for purposes of, or with
      respect to, providing such customer, depositor or borrower services which
      constitute the Business of the Bank; or (ii) take any affirmative action with
      a
      customer, depositor or borrower of the Bank or its Affiliates for the purposes
      of providing a customer, depositor or borrower to a business competing with
      the
      Bank or its Affiliates. The prohibitions of the preceding sentence shall apply
      only to customers, depositors or borrowers of the Bank with whom the Executive
      had Material Contact during his term of employment. For purposes of this
      Agreement, the Executive had “Material Contact” with a customer, depositor or
      borrower if (a) he had business dealings with the customer, depositor or
      borrower on the Bank’s behalf; (b) he was responsible for supervising or
      coordinating the dealings between the Bank and the customer, depositor or

    4.7 Nonsolicitation
      of Employees.
      The
      Executive agrees that during his employment with the Bank and for twenty-four
      (24) months after his Termination Date, the Executive will not, directly or
      indirectly, solicit or attempt to recruit or hire any employee of the Bank
      or
      its Affiliates to provide services similar to those performed by the employee
      for the Bank on behalf of another entity or person.

     

    4.8 Nondisclosure
      of Trade Secrets.
      Except
      to the extent reasonably necessary for the Executive to perform his duties
      for
      the Bank, the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, furnish or disclose
      to any person, use in any way, or negligently permit any unauthorized person
      who
      is not an employee of the Bank to use, disclose or gain access to any Trade
      Secrets of WGNB or the Bank or its Affiliates, or any other person or entity
      making Trade Secrets available for the Bank’s use, for so long as such Trade
      Secrets remain “trade secrets” under applicable state law.

     

    4.9 Nondisclosure
      of Confidential Information.
      During
      the term of his employment with the Bank and for a period of three (3) years

      shall not, without the prior written consent of WGNB or the Bank, directly
      or
      indirectly, furnish or disclose to any person, use in any way, or negligently
      permit any unauthorized person who is not employed by the Bank or WGNB to use,
      disclose or gain access to, for personal benefit or the benefit of others,
      any
      Confidential Information of WGNB or the Bank or its Affiliates, which remains
      competitively sensitive.

     

    4.10 Covenant
      Not to Compete.
      

     

    (a) Territories:
      WGNB
      transacts business as a bank holding company with the Bank as its subsidiary
      bank which accepts deposits, makes loans, cashes checks and otherwise engages
      in
      the business of banking (“Business of the Bank”). WGNB and the Bank do business
      in the counties of Carroll, Douglas, Paulding and Haralson in the State of
      Georgia, and Executive performs the duties described in Section 2.1 throughout
      those counties. Executive has established business relationships and performs
      the duties described in Section 2.1 in the geographic area covered by the
      counties of Carroll, Douglas, Paulding and Haralson in the State of

    (b) Covenants:
      For a
      period of twenty-four (24) months after the termination of his employment with
      the Bank, Executive shall not directly or indirectly provide the duties
      described in Section 2.1 of this Agreement (including as an advisor, consultant,
      or independent contractor) for any entity or person conducting the Business
      of
      the Bank within the counties of Carroll, Douglas, Coweta and Haralson in the
      State of Georgia.

     

    4.11 Notification
      of Subsequent Employment.
      During
      a period of one (1) year after the termination of the Executive’s employment
      with the Bank, Executive shall notify the Bank in writing of the name and
      address of the Executive’s new employer and the Executive’s functions with his
      new employer within thirty (30) days after accepting employment with any other
      corporation, partnership, association, person, organization or other
      entity.

     

    4.12 Reasonableness.
      Executive has carefully considered the nature and extent of the restrictions
      upon his rights and the rights and remedies conferred on the Bank under this
      Agreement, and the Executive hereby acknowledges and agrees that:

     

    (a) the
      restrictions and covenants contained herein, and the rights and remedies
      conferred upon WGNB and the Bank, are necessary to protect the goodwill and
      other value of the business of WGNB and the Bank;

     

    (b) the
      restrictions placed upon the Executive hereunder are fair and reasonable in
      time, will not prevent him from earning a livelihood, and place no greater
      restraint upon the Executive than is reasonably necessary to secure the business
      and goodwill of WGNB and the Bank;

     

    (c) WGNB
      and
      the Bank are relying upon the restrictions and covenants contained herein in
      continuing to make available to the Executive information concerning the
      Business of the Bank and WGNB;

     

    (d) Executive’s
      employment hereunder places him in a position of confidence and trust with
      WGNB
      and the Bank and its employees, customers, depositors and borrowers;
      and

     

    (e) the
      provisions of this section shall be interpreted so as to protect the
      Confidential Information, and to secure for WGNB and the Bank the exclusive
      benefits of the work performed on behalf of the Bank by the Executive under
      this
      Agreement, and not to unreasonably limit his ability to engage in employment
      and
      consulting activities in noncompetitive areas which do not endanger WGNB’s and
      the Bank’s legitimate interests expressed in this Agreement.

     

    4.13 Remedy
      for Breach.
      Executive acknowledges and agrees that his breach of any of the covenants
      contained in this Article of this Agreement will cause irreparable injury to
      WGNB and the Bank and that remedies at law available to WGNB and the Bank for
      any actual or threatened breach by the Executive of such covenants will be
      inadequate and that WGNB and the Bank shall be entitled to specific performance
      of the covenants in this Article or injunctive relief against activities in
      violation of this Article by temporary or permanent injunction or other
      appropriate judicial remedy, writ or order, without the necessity or proving
      actual damages. This provision with respect to injunctive relief shall not
      diminish the right of WGNB and the Bank to claim and recover monetary damages
      against the Executive for any breach of this Agreement, in addition to
      injunctive relief. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the covenants
      contained in this Article shall be construed as agreements independent of any
      other provision of this or any other contract between the parties hereto, and
      that the existence of any claim or cause of action by the Executive against
      WGNB
      or the Bank, whether predicated upon this or any other contract, shall not
      constitute a defense to the enforcement by WGNB and the Bank of said
      covenants.

    (c) Group

      for the Executive, his spouse and eligible dependents. Such payment shall be
      made as soon as administratively practicable following the Executive’s
      termination of employment, but in no event later than two and one-half (21⁄2)

      Bank.

     

    5.3 Termination
      of Employment Without Cause Following a Change in Control.

      Executive’s employment is terminated by the Bank (or the applicable successor)
      without Cause in the twenty-four (24) month period commencing on the date of
      the
      Change in Control,

    (c) Group
      Health Benefits:
      Regardless of whether the Executive or his eligible qualified beneficiaries
      actually elect COBRA continuation coverage under the Bank’s group health plan,
      the Executive shall be entitled to a lump-sum payment equal to the full COBRA
      premium amount (determined as of the Termination Date) for eighteen (18) months
      of continued group health plan coverage (as in place as of the Termination

      for the Executive, his spouse and eligible dependents. Such payment shall be
      made as soon as administratively practicable following the Executive’s
      termination of employment, but in no event later than two and one-half (21⁄2)
      months after the date his employment ends. In addition, if the Executive or

      continuation coverage beyond the initial 18-month period due to a second
      qualifying event, the Executive shall be entitled to a lump-sum payment equal
      to
      the full COBRA premium amount (determined as of the date of such second
      qualifying event) for the additional period of continuation coverage (up to

      maximum of an additional 18 months of continuation coverage). This additional
      lump sum payment for the second qualifying event coverage shall be made as
      soon
      as administratively practicable following the Executive’s providing written
      notice to the Bank of the second qualifying event, but no later than two and
      one-half (21⁄2) months after the date of such second qualifying
      event.

     

    The

      Bank.

     

    (d) Excess
      Parachute Payment.
      Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Bank shall not pay to
      the
      Executive any amount which shall be deemed to constitute an “excess parachute
      payment” in accordance with Code Section 280G. The Bank shall reduce any amount
      due hereunder by such minimum amount necessary to cause the total amount payable
      to the Executive in the applicable year not to constitute an “excess parachute
      payment.”

     

    5.4 Termination
      of Agreement by Reason of Executive’s Death or Disability.

    6.1 Invalidity
      of Any Provision.
      It is
      the intention of the parties hereto that the provisions of this Agreement shall
      be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the laws of each state
      and
      jurisdiction in which such enforcement is sought, but that the unenforceability
      (or the modification to conform with such laws) of any provision hereof shall
      not render unenforceable or impair the remainder of this Agreement which shall
      be deemed amended to delete or modify, as necessary, the invalid or
      unenforceable provisions. The parties further agree to alter the balance of
      this
      Agreement in order to render the same valid and enforceable. The terms of the
      restrictive covenant provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed modified
      to
      the extent necessary to be enforceable and, specifically, without limiting
      the
      foregoing, if the term of the applicable restrictive covenant is too long to
      be
      enforceable, it shall be modified to encompass the longest term which is
      enforceable and, if the scope of the geographic area of the applicable
      restrictive covenant is too great to be enforceable, it shall be modified to
      encompass the greatest area that is enforceable.

     

    6.2 Applicable
      Law.
      This
      Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the
      State of Georgia.

     

    6.3 Waiver
      of Breach. The
      waiver of a breach of any provision of this Agreement by a party hereto shall
      not operate or be construed as a wavier of any subsequent breach by the other
      party hereto.

      respective successors and assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit
      of

      representatives.

     

    6.5 Assignment
      of Agreement.
