1.8 Cause shall mean (i) the Executive ’s willful failure to perform his material duties and responsibilities; (ii) the Executive ’s unlawful or willful misconduct which is economically injurious to WGNB or the Bank or to any entity in control of, controlled by or under common control with the Bank and its successors; (iii) the Executive ’s conviction of, or a plea of guilty or nolo contendere, to a felony charge; (iv) habitual drug or alcohol abuse that impairs the Executive ’s ability to perform the essential duties of his position; (v) the initiation of suspension or removal proceedings against the Executive by federal or state regulatory authorities acting under lawful authority; (vi) the Executive ’s willful disclosure to unauthorized persons of Confidential Information or Trade Secrets of WGNB or the Bank; or (vii) the Executive ’s failure to comply with the Code of Ethics or other personnel policies of WGNB and/or the Bank.

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.

1.14 Effective Date shall mean January 1, 2007

-9-

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.
