(4) ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES


Changes in the allowance for loan losses are as follows:

               Balance as of January 1, 1999           $2,500

               Provision for loan losses                   --

               Balance at June 30, 1999                $2,401
                                                       ======



(5) NET INCOME PER SHARE

     Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to
common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding for the
period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if
securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised, converted
into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shares
in the earnings of the entity. The average number of basic shares outstanding
for the six months ended June 30, 1999, and 1998 were 2,507,857 and 2,453,380,
respectively. The diluted average number of shares for the six months ended June
30, 1999 and 1998 were 2,729,199 and 2,719,110, respectively.

(6) COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

     Comprehensive income for the six months ended June 30, 1999 consists only
of unrealized gains or losses on available for sale securities as illustrated
below:


                                                    Accumulated other

                                                 --------------------
      Beginning balance                                       $   61
      Current period unrealized loss                            (212)
                                                                -----
      Ending balance                                          $ (151)
                                                              =======

     No reclassification adjustment was necessary as no realized gains or losses
were included in net income for the period.



(7) SEGMENT REPORTING


     The Company has one reportable segment, its mortgage banking operations.
This segment originates residential loans and subsequently sells them to
investors. The commercial banking and other banking operations provide a broad
range of lending and deposit services to individual and commercial customers,
including such products as construction loans, and other business financing
arrangements.

     The Company's reportable segment is a strategic business unit that offers
difference products and services. It is managed separately because the segment
appeals to different markets and, accordingly, requires different technology and
marketing strategies.

     The segment's most significant revenue and expense is non-interest income
and non-interest expense, respectively. The segments are reported below for the
periods ended June 30, 1999 and June 30, 1998.

                ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                  (Dollars in thousands, except per share data)

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     In addition to historical information, the following discussion contains
forward looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties that
could cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from those
anticipated. These forward looking statements include, but are not limited to,
the effect of increasing interest rates on the Company's profitability and the
adequacy of the Company's allowance for future loan losses. Several factors,
including the local and national economy, the demand for residential mortgage
loans and the adequacy of the Company's Year 2000 compliance, may adversely
affect the Company's ability to achieve the expected results. Readers are
cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward looking statements, which
reflect management's analysis only as of the date of this report.

     Total assets at June 30, 1999 were $283,111, up 21.3% from $233,460 at
December 31, 1998, primarily reflecting growth in loans. The Company's loan
portfolio grew by $33,997 or 18% in the first six months of 1999. The principal
components of the Company's assets at the end of the period were $22,706 in
securities, $8,994 in cash and cash equivalents, $21,362 in funds advanced in
settlement of mortgage loans and $220,118 in net loans. The Company's lending
activities are a principal source of income.

     Total liabilities at June 30, 1999 were $264,514, up 22.6% from $215,671 at
December 31, 1998, with the increase almost entirely represented by a $32,609
(15.8%) growth in deposits. Non-interest bearing demand deposits increased
$2,663 or 16.9%, while interest bearing deposits increased by $29,946 or 15.7%.
The Company's deposits are provided by individuals and businesses located within
the communities served as well as the national market. In addition, Federal
funds purchased increased from $0 at December 31, 1998 to $6,600 at June 30,
1999.

     The Company raised $9,200 of additional capital in the first quarter of
1999 by issuing 368,000 Trust Preferred Securities at a price of $25.00 per
Security. The Trust Preferred Securities feature a 9.25% coupon. The Company, in
turn, purchased $5,000 of non-cumulative 9.25% Preferred Stock issued by the
Bank. This Preferred Stock qualifies as Tier 1 capital for the Bank for
regulatory purposes. Management believes that this additional Tier 1 capital
provides the Bank with an increased loans to one borrower limitation, and the
ability to continue to grow its balance sheet while maintaining its well
capitalized status. The Preferred Stock 9.25% coupon matches the coupon of the
Trust Preferred Securities.

         The funds generated by the Trust Preferred Securities offering were
invested in marketable securities and will also be used by the Company in its
stock repurchase program. The marketable securities are categorized as
held-to-maturity. The Company's stock repurchase program will be used to offset
the otherwise dilutive effects of stock options granted to the Company's
management as employment recruitment and retention perquisites.

          Total shareholders' equity at June 30, 1999 was $18,597, compared to
$17,789 at December 31, 1998. The Company had net income of $1,377 for six
months ended June 30, 1999 compared with net income of $1,497 for the comparable
period in 1998, a decline of 8.0%.

         On August 4, 1999, the Company declared a significant borrower in
default. While the total loss is not currently determinable, the Company
estimates that it could incur a maximum after tax loss of approximately $2,300
as a result of this default. The Company is not currently able to estimate the
size of the loss due to uncertainties regarding potential insurance claims and

                                       10
<PAGE>

the liquidation value of collateral that secures the loans, both of which could
potentially mitigate the loss. There can be no assurance, however, that the
Company will be able to mitigate the loss through insurance claims or the
liquidation of collateral. When determinable, the loss will be a one time charge
to earnings and/or absorbed in the Bank's current allowance for loan losses.
Management believes that this loss, while significant, is isolated to this
particular borrower, and will not negatively impact the Company's ability to
conduct its business on a going forward basis.

         Profitability as measured by the Company's return on average assets
(ROA) was 1.1% for the six months ended June 30, 1999, down .1% from the same
period of 1998. A key indicator of performance, the return on average equity
(ROE) was 15.2% and 19.3% for the six month periods ended June 30, 1999 and
1998, respectively.

         Net interest income represents a principal source of earnings for the
Company. The first component of the Company's net interest income is its loan
portfolio. Making sound loans that will increase the Company's net interest
margin is the first priority of management. The second component is gathering
core deposits to match and fund the loan production as cost efficiently as
possible. The Company also uses electronic funding of deposits and Federal Home
Loan Bank ("FHLB") advances to fund loan growth either for asset and liability
management purposes or for a less expensive source of funds.

         Net interest  income,  before provision for loan losses,  declined
slightly by $47 (1%) to $4,209 for the six  months ended June 30, 1999 versus
$4,256 for the same period in 1998.

AVERAGE BALANCES, INTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSES, AND AVERAGE YIELDS AND RATES

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, information
regarding: (i) the total dollar amount of interest income of the Bank from
categories of interest-bearing assets and the resultant average yield; (ii) the
total dollar amount of interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities and the
resultant average cost; (iii) net interest position; (iv) net interest ncome;
(v) net interest rate spread; (vi) net interest yield on interest-earning
assets; and (vii) the ratio of total interest-earning assets to total
interest-bearing liabilities. Since quarter-end balances can be distorted by
one-day fluctuations, an analysis of changes in the quarterly averages is
provided to give a better indication of balance sheet trends.

(2) Yield and rate percentages are all computed through the annualization of
    interest income and expenses versus the average balances of their
    respective accounts.
(3) Non-accrual loans are included in the average loan balances, and income
    on such loans is recongized on a cash basis.
(4) Consists of funds advanced in settlement on loans.
(5) Consists of FHLB advances and federal funds purchased.
(6) Represents the difference between the average yield earned on
    interest-earning assets and the average rate paid on interest-bearing
    liabilities.
(7) Equals total interest-earning assets minus total interest-bearing
    liabilities.
(8) Equals net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets.
(9) Equals average interest-earning assets divided by average interest-bearing
    liabilities.


     Non-interest income declined from $4,639 for the six months ended June 30,
1998 to $3,900 for the same period in 1999. This decrease was primarily
attributable to reduced loan refinancing activity in the Company's mortgage
banking operations. Due to recent increases in market interest rates, the
Company is likely to continue to experience significant reductions in mortgage
loan refinancings in future periods, which in turn will continue to adversely
impact the Company's noninterest income. These interest rate increases, or any
further increases in the future, will also adversely impact the Company's
ability to generate noninterest income from new mortgage loan originations
because higher interest rates tend to reduce the overall volume of the home
mortgage market. For the six months ended June 30, 1999, mortgage banking income
declined by 27.4% or $1,178 to $3,119 versus the same period of 1998. Mortgage
banking continues to be a key element of the Company's operations. Because of
the uncertainty of future loan origination volume and the future level of
interest rates, the Company may continue to experience declines in the mortgage
banking income in future periods. Other non-interest income, consisting mostly
of service charges, and a gain on sale of loans in early 1999, increased by $439
to $781 for the quarter ending June 30, 1999 compared to the same period in
1998.

     For the six months ended June 30, 1999, the Company's non-interest expense
totaled $6,003 or 7.2% lower than the same period in 1998. This decrease in
expenses was also primarily due to reduced mortgage banking activity. The
largest component of non-interest expense, salaries and employee benefits, which
represents 53.6% of total non-interest expense, decreased 15.4% to $587 for the
six months ended June 30, 1999 over the same period in 1998. Occupancy expense
increased by 7.9% to $571, depreciation and equipment maintenance decreased by
2.2% to $354, marketing and business development increased 18.1% to $202, and
outside computer services decreased by 18.1% to $249 for the six months ended
June 30, 1999 over the same period in 1998 (due to one-time expenses incurred in
1998 in connection with a system conversion).

     In establishing the allowance for loan losses, management considers a
number of factors, including loan asset quality, related collateral and economic
conditions prevailing during the loan's repayment. In its loan policies,
management emphasizes the borrower's ability to service the debt, the borrower's
general creditworthiness and the quality of collateral. Loans are generally
placed in nonaccrual status when the collection of principal and interest is 90
days or more past due, unless the obligation is both well-secured and in the
process of collection. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of
quarter-end loans at June 30 was 1.1% and 1.7% for 1999 and 1998, respectively.
The provisions for loan losses were $0 and $125 for the six months ended June
30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

     While the Company believes it has sufficient allowance for its existing
portfolio, there can be no assurances that an additional allowance for losses on
existing loans may not be necessary in the future, particularly if the economy
worsens. The loan losses expected in the third quarter, as previously discussed,
will be reflected in the Company's operating results in the third quarter of
1999.

Interest Rate Sensitivity

     Management evaluates interest sensitivity through the use of an
asset/liability management reporting gap model on a quarterly basis and then
formulates strategies regarding asset generation and pricing, funding sources
and pricing, and off-balance sheet commitments in order to decrease sensitivity
risk. These strategies are based on management's outlook regarding interest rate
movements, the state of the regional and national economies and other financial
and business risk factors. In addition, the Company establishes prices for
deposits and loans based on local market conditions and manages its securities
portfolio under policies that take interest risk into account.

     Liquidity represents the institution's ability to meet present and future
financial obligations. Liquid assets include cash, interest bearing deposits
with banks, money market accounts, federal funds sold, investments and loans
maturing within one year. The Company's funding requirements are supplied from a
range of traditional sources, including various types of demand deposits, money
market accounts, certificates of deposit and short-term borrowings. Federal Home
Loan Bank ("FHLB") advances are utilized as funding sources by the Company. At
June 30, 1999, there were $7,300 in FHLB advances outstanding. The Company has a
warehouse line of credit collateralized by first mortgage loans amounting to
$50,000, which expires December 2, 1999. The Company has no reason to believe
this arrangement will not be renewed, although no assurance can be given in this
regard. The Company had $0 and $2,200 outstanding warehouse advances at June 30,
1999 and 1998, respectively. At June 30, 1998, $13,300 was outstanding in FHLB
advances outside of the warehouse line.

     The Company also had purchased Federal Funds in the amount of $6,600 and $0
at June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The Company has lines of credit with
other correspondent banks of $11,509 and $2,000.

     Management seeks to ensure adequate liquidity to fund loans and meet the
Company's financial requirements and opportunities. To provide liquidity for
current, ongoing and unanticipated needs, the Company maintains short-term
interest bearing certificates of deposits, federal funds sold, and a portfolio
of debt securities. The Company also structures and monitors the flow of funds
from debt securities and from maturing loans. As securities are generally
purchased to provide a source of liquidity, most are classified as securities
available-for-sale when purchased. Unrealized holding gains and losses for
available-for-sale securities are excluded from earnings and reported as a net
amount in a separate component of stockholders' equity until realized.

     The Company's financial position at June 30, 1999 reflects liquidity and
capital levels that management believes are currently adequate to fund
anticipated future business expansion. Capital ratios are in excess of required
regulatory minimums for a well capitalized institution. The assessment of
capital adequacy depends on a number of factors such as asset quality,
liquidity, earnings performance, and changing competitive conditions and
economic forces. The adequacy of the Company's capital is reviewed by management
on an ongoing basis. Management seeks to maintain a capital structure that will
assure an adequate level of capital to support anticipated asset growth and to
absorb potential losses.

(1) Management has determined that interest checking, money market and savings
accounts are not sensitive to changes in related market ratio and, therefore, we
have placed them in the 1-5 years category.

     Regulatory capital adequacy standards are based on an established minimum
for Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital, Risk-Based Capital and the Tier 1 Leverage Ratio.
The following table summarizes regulatory capital ratios for the Company and the
Bank at June 30, 1999.

     The Company and the Bank are in full compliance with all relevant
regulatory capital requirements.

     The effect of changing prices on financial institutions is typically
different from other industries as the Company's assets and liabilities are
monetary in nature. Interest rates are significantly impacted by inflation, but

                                      -17-
<PAGE>

neither the timing nor the magnitude of the changes are directly related to
price level indices. Impacts of inflation on interest rates, loan demand and
deposits are reflected in the Company's financial statements. Management
believes that the mortgage banking operations provide somewhat of a natural
interest rate hedge, in that the Company is interest rate sensitive in the
six-month period. When interest rates decline, the Company's earnings will be
negatively impacted in the six-month period but the mortgage operation's volume
should increase. The reverse should occur in rising interest rate markets.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

     The ability of the Company's computers, software and other equipment
utilizing microprocessors to recognize and properly process data fields
containing a 2-digit year after 1999 is commonly referred to as the "Year 2000"
issue. The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs and equipment
which are dependent on "embedded chip technology" using two digits rather than
four to define the applicable year. Any of the Company's computer programs or
equipment that are date dependent may recognize a date using "00" as the year
1900 rather than the year 2000. This could result in a system failure or
miscalculations causing disruptions of operations, or a temporary inability to
process transactions, or otherwise engage in similar normal business activities.

     The Company adopted a five phase plan of action developed by the Federal
Financial Institutions Examination Council ("FFIEC") to address Year 2000 issues
and created an in-house committee to manage the Y2K project. During phase one,
"awareness," the Company developed an overall strategy and timetable for the
completion of all Year 2000 requirements. Phase two, "assessment," involved
analyzing, prioritizing and putting all internal systems, both information
technology (IT) and non-IT systems, on track for Year 2000 compliance according
to the timetable established in the awareness phase. The Company has no
proprietary or in-house developed systems or software, so non-IT systems are
limited to infrastructure and communications. During the third phase,
"renovation," necessary upgrades or replacements were ordered for hardware and
software. In addition, each of the Company's vendors was contacted regarding
their Year 2000 progress.

     The fourth phase, "validation,"included the evaluation of vendor testing
and live testing when possible. Since the Company has no legacy systems, most of
the testing was by proxy, where the vendor supplied testing scripts and results
and the Company evaluated both to determine that the testing was adequate and
that the results were as expected and satisfactory. The Company changed data
processors in late 1997 and is served by a Service Bureau which houses and
maintains all hardware, software and backups applicable to updating and
maintaining the Company's customer and financial records. Because this is the
area of greatest risk to the Company with regard to Year 2000 issues, this
arrangement meant the Company must carefully oversee the efforts of the vendor
to ensure Year 2000 compliance was complete and timely. The data processor has
renovated and tested its systems and has supplied a series of test scripts and
results for each application, as well as hardware, software and operating
systems. The Company's in-house committee has reviewed each phase of the data
processor's testing and documented the results, which were then reported to and
ratified by the Company's Board of Directors. The Company will continue testing
and validation throughout the remainder of 1999 to ensure the continuing
reliability of its systems. Phases one through four are complete.

     The final phase, "implementation," will occur at the turn of the century
with the readiness to execute contingency plans if necessary. The Company's
Contingency Plan is complete and in the process of being tested by every work
group involved in doing the Company's business. Contingency plans include
alternatives for each critical system, which should allow business to continue
with little or no interruption past the turn of the century. These alternatives
are being subjected to the same process as the Company's primary service
providers. Additionally, the contingency plans include performing tasks manually
if necessary, until the appropriate applications are operational.

     In addition to verifying its internal and vendor supplied systems, the

                                      -18-
<PAGE>

Company has provided compliance certification questionnaires to its customers in
order to determine their ability to be Year 2000 compliant. Each borrower is
assigned a credit risk rating based on the questionnaire and the Company's
knowledge of the borrower. If a customer does not respond to the questionnaire
or if its response does not provide the Company with adequate assurance that
such customer's failure to be Year 2000 compliant would not have a material
adverse effect on the Company, the Company is entitled to take steps to
terminate its relationship with the customer before December 31, 1999. Year 2000
compliance is a part of the review process for new loans, which maintains the
integrity of the Company's commercial loan portfolio on an ongoing basis. Each
month, the Company's Board of Directors receives a commercial loan portfolio
Year 2000 Credit Risk Analysis.

     Costs to date directly attributable to the Year 2000 project have not been
substantial due to the fact that the change in data processors and the
acquisition of a bank in late 1997 required a complete upgrade of all desktop
computer systems and servers. Year 2000 compliance was an important part of all
purchases and management believes that any known issues were corrected. The Year
2000 progress of all data processing companies is being monitored by outside
auditors and regulators and the Company receives regular reports regarding the
progress. Costs to date total $75 thousand; however, testing by outside vendors
may exceed $100 thousand based on best estimates available to date. Management
anticipates that these funds will be financed internally.

     Because the Company had a detailed Business Continuation Plan before the
Year 2000 plan began, various potential business interruptions and alternatives
were already documented which would permit a short term continuance as long as
the data processor preserves the ability to update records. Loss of the data
processor is the greatest risk to the Company. The Year 2000 progress of all
data processing companies is being monitored by outside auditors and regulators
and the Company receives regular reports regarding the progress. While a change
of data processors would be time consuming, the Company's contingency plans
include alternatives for each critical system, as well as plans to perform tasks
manually if necessary, until appropriate applications are operational.

     The Company's Year 2000 readiness is subject to supervision by the Federal
Reserve System through examination for compliance with the guidance issued by
the FFIEC. Should the Company's readiness be found deficient , it could be
subject to informal enforcement actions such as written notification of
deficiencies to be remediated, to formal enforcement actions such as civil
penalties, temporary cease and desist orders requiring immediate corrective
actions, and the possible public release of any such cease and desist order.

     If the Company and its customers, suppliers and vendors were not Year 2000
compliant by January 1, 2000, the most reasonably likely worst case scenario
would be a temporary shutdown of operations. Any such shutdown could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, liquidity and
financial position.

                                  EXHIBIT 10.23

                              EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

         This Employment Agreement ("Agreement") is made as of January 1, 1999,
between Resource Bank ("Resource"), and Harvard R. Birdsong, II ("Employee").

         WHEREAS, Resource wishes to employ Employee to serve as its Senior Vice
President and Chief Credit Officer, and Employee is willing to accept such
employment in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; and

         WHEREAS, Employee recognizes the importance to Resource and to the
public of maintaining the high standards and quality associated with Resource's
name and reputation, and is willing to maintain such high standards and quality;

         NOW, THEREFORE, it is agreed as follows:

1.       TERM OF EMPLOYMENT: Subject to the provisions of this Agreement,
         Resource will employ Employee as its Senior Vice President and Chief
         Credit Officer for an initial term of five (5) years, beginning on
         January 1, 1999 and expiring on December 31, 2003 ("Initial Term"). Not
         less than six (6) months prior to the expiration of the Initial Term,
         Resource's Board of Directors (the "Resource Board of Directors") shall
         conduct and complete a review of Employee's performance.

         1.1 If the Resource Board of Directors determines upon such review
             that Employee has performed in accordance with Resource's
             performance criteria, no further action will be necessary, and
             Resource shall employ Employee for an additional two-year
             period under the terms herein. Thereafter, this Agreement
             shall automatically renew for successive two-year periods
             unless either party gives three (3) months written notice
             prior to the expiration of any two-year term.

         1.2 If the Resource Board of Directors determines upon such review
             that Employee has not performed in accordance with Resource's
             performance criteria, it shall so notify Employee in writing
             at least three (3) months prior to the expiration of the
             Initial Term hereof that this Agreement will not be renewed
             ("Notice of Non-Renewal"), and this Agreement shall expire and
             the employment created herein shall end at the conclusion of
             the Initial Term. Employee shall also receive three additional
             month's regular base salary following expiration pursuant to
             Resource's regular pay schedule.

         1.3 The regular base salary payable both prior to and following
             expiration as provided in subparagraph 1.2 shall not be paid
             if Employee competes with Resource as that term is used in
             subparagraphs 7.2 and 7.3 hereof.

         1.4 Resource, in its sole discretion, shall have the option but not the
             obligation of relieving Employee of actually performing any
             services following the giving of a Notice of Non-Renewal.
             Employee shall nonetheless be paid as provided in subparagraph
             1.2 provided he neither seeks or accepts employment in

<PAGE>


             competition with Resource as provided in subparagraph 1.3 nor
             breaches any other provision hereof.

2.       DUTIES: During the period of employment hereunder, Employee will devote
         his best efforts and substantially his full time to the business and
         affairs of Resource, perform such services not inconsistent with his
         position as are designated by the Resource Board of Directors, and use
         his best efforts to promote the interest of Resource. Employee pledges
         that during the term of this Agreement, Employee shall not, directly or
         indirectly, engage in any business that could detract from Employee's
         ability to apply his best efforts to the performance of his duties
         hereunder. Employee further agrees to comply with all rules,
         regulations and policies established or issued by Resource.

3.       COMPENSATION: Resource will pay Employee a regular base salary
         commensurate with his position and performance, such salary to be
         determined from time to time by the Resource Board of Directors, but to
         be not less than $110,250 upon the initiation of this Agreement. Such
         salary will be payable in periodic installments on the same basis as
         that of other employees of Resource who hold executive positions. In
         addition, Employee will be eligible to participate in Resource's Bonus
         Program as determined from time to time by the Resource Board of
         Directors.

4.       BENEFITS: Employee will participate in the various employee benefit,
         disability and retirement plans provided for similarly situated
         employees according to the terms and conditions of those plans, as
         determined by the Resource Board of Directors. During each full year of
         employment, Employee shall have four weeks paid vacation. During
         Employee's employment with Resource, Employee will be provided with an
         automobile allowance in the amount of $500.00 per month. Resource
         reserves the right to modify, eliminate, or add to any of the foregoing
         benefits as it deems appropriate.

5.       DEATH: If Employee should die during the term of this Agreement,
         Resource will, in lieu of payments due under other provisions of this
         Agreement, pay to Employee's estate for a period of 3 months,
         Employee's regular base salary at the time of the Employee's death plus
         any previously accrued and unpaid compensation. Thereafter, Resource
         will have no further obligation to Employee or his estate under this
         Agreement.

6.       DISABILITY: In the event that Employee, by reason of physical or mental
         incapacity or disability ("Disability"), is unable, with or without
         reasonable accommodation, to perform his duties and responsibilities
         under this Agreement, then Resource will pay to Employee his regular
         base salary for a six (6) month period following the date on which the
         Disability first begins, after which time it is intended that the
         payments under the disability insurance maintained by Resource for
         Employee will be in effect. Thereafter, Resource will have no
         obligation to pay Employee any compensation under this Agreement;
         provided, however, that for a period of one (1) year following the date
         the Disability first begins, Employee shall have the right to return to
         employment under this Agreement if Employee, with or without reasonable
         accommodation, is again able to fully perform his duties. Upon such a
         return to employment, Employee shall work as mutually agreed upon by
         Resource and Employee, and Employee shall receive the same compensation

                                       2
<PAGE>

         and benefits as set forth in this Agreement, subject to appropriate
         proration of compensation if Employee works less than the same schedule
         he had previously worked.

7.       TERMINATION WITHOUT CAUSE; SEVERANCE PAY:

         7.1 Resource may terminate Employee's employment immediately and
             without cause. However, if Resource terminates employee's
             employment pursuant to this Section 7.1, Resource shall pay to
             Employee his regular base salary payable in periodic installments
             on the same schedule as other executive employees of Resource
             through the lesser of (i) the remainder of the Initial Term of
             this Agreement or (ii) a period of eighteen (18) months
             following the date on which employment is terminated
             ("Severance Pay"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event
             Employee elects to compete with Resource or any of its
             subsidiaries as described below, Resource's obligation to pay
             the Severance Pay shall terminate immediately.

         7.2 Employee agrees that in the event he competes, directly or
             indirectly, with Resource or any of its subsidiaries within a
             30-mile radius of any Resource office, or any of its subsidiaries'
             offices, that exist on the date of such termination he will
             forfeit any remaining Severance Pay from the first date of
             such competition.

         7.3 It is the specific intent of the parties that as long as Employee
             is receiving Severance Pay, Employee shall be restricted from
             competing directly or indirectly within a thirty mile radius
             of any segment of Resource's or its subsidiaries' business in
             which Employee engaged prior to the termination of employment
             and from any segment of Resource's and its subsidiaries'
             business, about which Employee acquired proprietary or
             confidential information, during the course of his employment.
             Resource's and its subsidiaries' business shall mean the
             business of banking and mortgage lending. Employee agrees that
             competition shall include engaging in competitive activity,
             either as an individual, as a partner, as a joint venturer
             with any other person or entity, or as an employee, agent, or
             representative of any other person or entity, or otherwise
             being associated in a competitive capacity with any business
             entity which directly or indirectly competes with Resource or
             any of its subsidiaries. Employee further agrees that for as
             long as he receives severance pay, he will not induce or
             attempt to induce any of the employees of Resource or its
             affiliates to terminate their agreement.

         7.4 Resource and Employee have examined in detail this paragraph 7 and
             agree that the restraint imposed upon Employee is reasonable
             in light of the legitimate interests of Employer, and it is
             not unduly harsh upon Employee's ability to earn a livelihood.

         7.5 Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary,
             any payments made to Employee pursuant to this Agreement, or

                                       3
<PAGE>

             otherwise, are subject to and conditional upon their
             compliance with 12 U.S.C. ss. 1828(k) and any regulations
             promulgated thereunder.

8.       TERMINATION FOR CAUSE: The employee's employment may be terminated at
         any time by Resource for "cause." As used in this Agreement, the term
         cause may mean personal dishonesty; gross neglect related to
         employment; incompetence; willful misconduct; breach of loyalty or
         fiduciary duty to Employer; intentional failure to perform assigned or
         agreed upon duties; willful violation of any law, rule, or regulation
         (other than traffic violations or similar offenses); or material breach
         of any provision of this Agreement. Termination by Resource for cause
         shall be determined by the vote of at least 51% of all of the members
         of the Resource Board of Directors. If the employment is so terminated,
         Employee will be entitled to receive any regular salary earned and
         employee benefits accrued as of the date of such termination, but
         Resource will have no further obligation to Employee hereunder from and
         after such date.

9.       TERMINATION BY EMPLOYEE: Employee may resign from the employment of
         Resource at any time upon ninety (90) days prior written notice. Upon
         such resignation, Employee shall have no rights to any further
         compensation or benefits after the ninety (90) day notice period has
         expired. Resource reserves the option but not the obligation to relieve
         Employee from performance of work during this period, but absent
         subsequent breach hereof, Resource shall be obligated to pay Employee
         the Employee's regular base salary for the entire 90-day notice period.

10.      CHANGE OF CONTROL: If there shall occur a "Change of Control of
         Resource" as defined below, the employee may be assigned such other
         duties, responsibilities and compensation as would be reasonably
         equivalent under the circumstances and acceptable to the Employee in
         his reasonable discretion. Upon such occurrence, if the Employee shall
         not be given such reasonably equivalent duties, responsibilities and
         compensation, he may be terminated or he may resign; and, in either
         such case, Employee shall receive in lieu of any payments pursuant to
         paragraph 7, a one-time payment of 2.99 times the average of the last
         three (3) years' regular base salary, or if employed less than three
         years, a one-time payment of 2.99 times Employee's regular base salary
         in effect when the change of control occurs. As used in this paragraph
         10, a Change of Control of Resource shall be deemed to have occurred if
         any of the following occur:

         10.1 Any "person" (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d)(2)
              of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) is or becomes the
              beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of
              Resource representing twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the
              combined voting power of Resource's then outstanding
              securities; or

         10.2 During any period of two consecutive calendar years, individuals
              who at the beginning of such period constitute the Resource Board
              of Directors cease for any reason to constitute a majority
              thereof unless the election by Resource's Shareholders of each
              new director was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of
              the Resource directors then still in office who were directors
              at the beginning of the period.

                                       4
<PAGE>

         10.3 The approval by Resource's shareholders of the merger or
              consolidation of Resource with any other corporation or
              business organization, the sale of substantially all of the
              assets of Resource or the liquidation or dissolution of
              Resource, unless, in the case of a merger or consolidation,
              the directors of Resource in office immediately prior to such
              merger or consolidation will constitute at least two-thirds of
              the directors of the surviving corporation or business
              organization of such merger or consolidation and any parent
              (as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities
              Exchange Act of 1934) of such corporation or business
              organization.

11.      REQUIRED PROVISIONS:

         11.1 If Employee is suspended and/or temporarily prohibited from
              participating in the conduct of Resource's affairs by a notice
              served under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, Resource's
              obligations under this Agreement shall be suspended as of the
              date of service. If the charges in the notice are dismissed,
              Resource may, in its discretion, (i) pay Employee all or part
              of the compensation withheld while its obligations under the
              Agreement were suspended, and (ii) reinstate (in whole or in
              part) any of its obligations which were suspended.

         11.2 If Employee is removed and/or permanently prohibited from
              participating in the conduct of Resource's affairs by an order
              issued under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, all
              obligations of Resource under this Agreement shall terminate
              as of the effective date of the order, but the Employee's
              vested rights shall not be affected.

         11.3 If Resource is in default as defined in the Federal Deposit
              Insurance Act, all obligations under this Agreement shall
              terminate as of the date of default, but the operation of this
              subparagraph 11.3 shall not affect any of Employee's vested
              rights.

12.      NONDISCLOSURE:

         12.1 Employee agrees to hold and safeguard any information about
              Resource and its subsidiaries gained by Employee during the course
              of Employee's employment. Employee shall not, without the prior
              written consent of Resource, disclose or make available to
              anyone for use outside Resource's and its subsidiaries'
              organization at any time, either during his employment or
              subsequent to any termination of his employment, however such
              termination is effected, whether by Employee or Resource, with
              or without cause, or expiration or nonrenewal of this
              Agreement, any information about Resource and its subsidiaries
              or its customers or suppliers, whether or not such information
              was developed by Employee, except as required in the
              performance of Employee's duties for Resource and its
              subsidiaries.

         12.2 Employee understands and agrees that any information about

                                       5

              customers is the property of Resource or its subsidiaries and is
              essential to the protection of Resource's and its
              subsidiaries' goodwill and to the maintenance of Resource's
              and it subsidiaries' competitive position and accordingly
              should be kept secret. Such information shall include, but not
              be limited to, information containing Resource's and its
              subsidiaries' promotional plans and strategies, pricing
              strategies, customers and prospective customers, customer
              lists, identity of key personnel in the employ of customers
              and prospective customers, computer programs, system
              documentation, manuals, ideas, or any other records or
              information belonging to Resource and its subsidiaries or
              relating to Resource's and its subsidiaries' business.

13.      NON-SOLICITATION OF EMPLOYEES: Employee agrees that during his
         employment hereunder and for a period of one year following termination
         of Employee's employment, whether such termination is voluntary or
         involuntary, effected by Resource or by Employee, regardless of cause,
         Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, hire, solicit or induce or
         attempt to hire, solicit or induce, any employee of Resource to become
         employed by Employee or any other person or entity or to perform
         services for remuneration for Employee or any other person or entity
         regardless of the structure or nature of any such remunerative
         relationship. For purposes of this paragraph 13, an employee of
         Resource shall mean any individual who was employed by Resource or any
         of its subsidiaries at the time of Employee's termination or at any
         time during the six-month period immediately preceding such
         termination. This paragraph does not apply in the event of "Change of
         Control of Resource" as defined in paragraph 10.

14.      ENTIRE AGREEMENT: This Agreement supersedes any and all other
         agreements, either oral or in writing, between the parties hereto with
         respect to the employment of Employee by Resource or any affiliate of

         parties with respect to such employment. Each party to this Agreement
         acknowledges that no representations, inducements, promises or
         agreements, orally or otherwise, have been made by any party, or anyone
         acting on behalf of any party, which are not embodied herein, and that
         no other agreement, statement or promise not contained in this
         Agreement will be valid or binding. Any modification of this Agreement
         will be effective only if it is in writing signed by the party to be
         charged.

15.      BINDING EFFECT: This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the
         benefit of each of the parties and their successors.

16.      LAW GOVERNING AGREEMENT: This Agreement will be governed and construed

17.      CONFLICT WITH REGULATIONS:  The requirements of 12 C.F.R. ss. 563.39(b)
         (the "Employment Agreement Regulations") shall be made part of this

         effect.

19.      SEVERABILITY: If any clause or provision of this Agreement is held to
         be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under present or future laws
         effective during the term hereof, then the remainder of this Agreement
         shall not be affected thereby, and in lieu of each clause or provision
         of this Agreement which is illegal, invalid or unenforceable, and
         specifically including the restrictions on competition in paragraph 7,
         there shall be added, as a part of this Agreement, a clause or
         provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable
         clause or provision as may be possible and as may be legal, valid, and
         enforceable.

                                  EXHIBIT 10.24

                              EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT


         This Employment Agreement ("Agreement") is made as of January 1, 1999,
between Resource Bank ("Resource"), and Debra C. Dyckman ("Employee").

         WHEREAS, Resource wishes to employ Employee to serve as its Senior Vice
President, and Employee is willing to accept such employment in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement; and

         WHEREAS, Employee recognizes the importance to Resource and to the
public of maintaining the high standards and quality associated with Resource's
name and reputation, and is willing to maintain such high standards and quality;

         NOW, THEREFORE, it is agreed as follows:

1.       TERM OF EMPLOYMENT: Subject to the provisions of this Agreement,
         Resource will employ Employee as its Senior Vice President for an
         initial term of five (5) years, beginning on January 1, 1999 and
         expiring on December 31, 2003 ("Initial Term"). Not less than six (6)
         months prior to the expiration of the Initial Term, Resource's Board of
         Directors (the "Resource Board of Directors") shall conduct and
         complete a review of Employee's performance.

         1.1 If the Resource Board of Directors determines upon such review
             that Employee has performed in accordance with Resource's
             performance criteria, no further action will be necessary, and
             Resource shall employ Employee for an additional two-year
             period under the terms herein. Thereafter, this Agreement
             shall automatically renew for successive two-year periods
             unless either party gives three (3) months written notice
             prior to the expiration of any two-year term.

         1.2 If the Resource Board of Directors determines upon such review
             that Employee has not performed in accordance with Resource's
             performance criteria, it shall so notify Employee in writing
             at least three (3) months prior to the expiration of the
             Initial Term hereof that this Agreement will not be renewed
             ("Notice of Non-Renewal"), and this Agreement shall expire and
             the employment created herein shall end at the conclusion of
             the Initial Term. Employee shall also receive three additional
             month's regular base salary following expiration pursuant to
             Resource's regular pay schedule.

         1.3 The regular base salary payable both prior to and following
             expiration as provided in subparagraph 1.2 shall not be paid
             if Employee competes with Resource as that term is used in
             subparagraphs 7.2 and 7.3 hereof.

         1.4 Resource, in its sole discretion, shall have the option but not the
             obligation of relieving Employee of actually performing any
             services following the giving of a Notice of Non-Renewal.
             Employee shall nonetheless be paid as provided in subparagraph
             1.2 provided he neither seeks or accepts employment in
             competition with Resource as provided in subparagraph 1.3 nor
             breaches any other provision hereof.

                                       10
<PAGE>

2.       DUTIES: During the period of employment hereunder, Employee will devote
         his best efforts and substantially his full time to the business and
         affairs of Resource, perform such services not inconsistent with his
         position as are designated by the Resource Board of Directors, and use
         his best efforts to promote the interest of Resource. Employee pledges
         that during the term of this Agreement, Employee shall not, directly or
         indirectly, engage in any business that could detract from Employee's
         ability to apply his best efforts to the performance of his duties
         hereunder. Employee further agrees to comply with all rules,
         regulations and policies established or issued by Resource.

3.       COMPENSATION: Resource will pay Employee a regular base salary
         commensurate with his position and performance, such salary to be
         determined from time to time by the Resource Board of Directors, but to
         be not less than $101,000 upon the initiation of this Agreement. Such
         salary will be payable in periodic installments on the same basis as
         that of other employees of Resource who hold executive positions. In
         addition, Employee will be eligible to participate in Resource's Bonus
         Program as determined from time to time by the Resource Board of
         Directors.

4.       BENEFITS: Employee will participate in the various employee benefit,
         disability and retirement plans provided for similarly situated
         employees according to the terms and conditions of those plans, as
         determined by the Resource Board of Directors. During each full year of
         employment, Employee shall have four weeks paid vacation. During
         Employee's employment with Resource, Employee will be provided with an
         automobile allowance in the amount of $500.00 per month. Resource
         reserves the right to modify, eliminate, or add to any of the foregoing
         benefits as it deems appropriate.

5.       DEATH: If Employee should die during the term of this Agreement,
         Resource will, in lieu of payments due under other provisions of this
         Agreement, pay to Employee's estate for a period of 3 months,
         Employee's regular base salary at the time of the Employee's death plus
         any previously accrued and unpaid compensation. Thereafter, Resource
         will have no further obligation to Employee or his estate under this
         Agreement.

6.       DISABILITY: In the event that Employee, by reason of physical or mental
         incapacity or disability ("Disability"), is unable, with or without
         reasonable accommodation, to perform his duties and responsibilities
         under this Agreement, then Resource will pay to Employee his regular
         base salary for a six (6) month period following the date on which the
         Disability first begins, after which time it is intended that the
         payments under the disability insurance maintained by Resource for
         Employee will be in effect. Thereafter, Resource will have no
         obligation to pay Employee any compensation under this Agreement;
         provided, however, that for a period of one (1) year following the date
         the Disability first begins, Employee shall have the right to return to
         employment under this Agreement if Employee, with or without reasonable
         accommodation, is again able to fully perform his duties. Upon such a
         return to employment, Employee shall work as mutually agreed upon by
         Resource and Employee, and Employee shall receive the same compensation
         and benefits as set forth in this Agreement, subject to appropriate
         proration of compensation if Employee works less than the same schedule
         he had previously worked.

                                       11
<PAGE>

7.       TERMINATION WITHOUT CAUSE; SEVERANCE PAY:

         7.1 Resource may terminate Employee's employment immediately and
             without cause. However, if Resource terminates employee's
             employment pursuant to this Section 7.1, Resource shall pay to
             Employee his regular base salary payable in periodic installments
             on the same schedule as other executive employees of Resource
             through the lesser of (i) the remainder of the Initial Term of
             this Agreement or (ii) a period of eighteen (18) months
             following the date on which employment is terminated
             ("Severance Pay"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event
             Employee elects to compete with Resource or any of its
             subsidiaries as described below, Resource's obligation to pay
             the Severance Pay shall terminate immediately.

         7.2 Employee agrees that in the event he competes, directly or
             indirectly, with Resource or any of its subsidiaries within a
             30-mile radius of any Resource office, or any of its subsidiaries'
             offices, that exist on the date of such termination he will
             forfeit any remaining Severance Pay from the first date of
             such competition.

         7.3 It is the specific intent of the parties that as long as Employee
             is receiving Severance Pay, Employee shall be restricted from
             competing directly or indirectly within a thirty mile radius
             of any segment of Resource's or its subsidiaries' business in
             which Employee engaged prior to the termination of employment
             and from any segment of Resource's and its subsidiaries'
             business, about which Employee acquired proprietary or
             confidential information, during the course of his employment.
             Resource's and its subsidiaries' business shall mean the
             business of banking and mortgage lending. Employee agrees that
             competition shall include engaging in competitive activity,
             either as an individual, as a partner, as a joint venturer
             with any other person or entity, or as an employee, agent, or
             representative of any other person or entity, or otherwise
             being associated in a competitive capacity with any business
             entity which directly or indirectly competes with Resource or
             any of its subsidiaries. Employee further agrees that for as
             long as he receives severance pay, he will not induce or
             attempt to induce any of the employees of Resource or its
             affiliates to terminate their agreement.

         7.4 Resource and Employee have examined in detail this paragraph 7 and
             agree that the restraint imposed upon Employee is reasonable
             in light of the legitimate interests of Employer, and it is
             not unduly harsh upon Employee's ability to earn a livelihood.

         7.5 Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary,
             any payments made to Employee pursuant to this Agreement, or
             otherwise, are subject to and conditional upon their
             compliance with 12 U.S.C. ss. 1828(k) and any regulations
             promulgated thereunder.

8.       TERMINATION FOR CAUSE: The employee's employment may be terminated at
         any time by Resource for "cause." As used in this Agreement, the term

                                       12
<PAGE>

         cause may mean personal dishonesty; gross neglect related to
         employment; incompetence; willful misconduct; breach of loyalty or
         fiduciary duty to Employer; intentional failure to perform assigned or
         agreed upon duties; willful violation of any law, rule, or regulation
         (other than traffic violations or similar offenses); or material breach
         of any provision of this Agreement. Termination by Resource for cause
         shall be determined by the vote of at least 51% of all of the members
         of the Resource Board of Directors. If the employment is so terminated,
         Employee will be entitled to receive any regular salary earned and
         employee benefits accrued as of the date of such termination, but
         Resource will have no further obligation to Employee hereunder from and
         after such date.

9.       TERMINATION BY EMPLOYEE: Employee may resign from the employment of
         Resource at any time upon ninety (90) days prior written notice. Upon
         such resignation, Employee shall have no rights to any further
         compensation or benefits after the ninety (90) day notice period has
         expired. Resource reserves the option but not the obligation to relieve
         Employee from performance of work during this period, but absent
         subsequent breach hereof, Resource shall be obligated to pay Employee
         the Employee's regular base salary for the entire 90-day notice period.

10.      CHANGE OF CONTROL: If there shall occur a "Change of Control of
         Resource" as defined below, the employee may be assigned such other
         duties, responsibilities and compensation as would be reasonably
         equivalent under the circumstances and acceptable to the Employee in
         his reasonable discretion. Upon such occurrence, if the Employee shall
         not be given such reasonably equivalent duties, responsibilities and
         compensation, he may be terminated or he may resign; and, in either
         such case, Employee shall receive in lieu of any payments pursuant to
         paragraph 7, a one-time payment of 2.99 times the average of the last
         three (3) years' regular base salary, or if employed less than three
         years, a one-time payment of 2.99 times Employee's regular base salary
         in effect when the change of control occurs. As used in this paragraph
         10, a Change of Control of Resource shall be deemed to have occurred if
         any of the following occur:

         10.1 Any "person" (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d)(2)
              of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) is or becomes the
              beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of
              Resource representing twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the
              combined voting power of Resource's then outstanding

              of Directors cease for any reason to constitute a majority
              thereof unless the election by Resource's Shareholders of each
              new director was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of
              the Resource directors then still in office who were directors

              Resource, unless, in the case of a merger or consolidation,
              the directors of Resource in office immediately prior to such
              merger or consolidation will constitute at least two-thirds of
              the directors of the surviving corporation or business
              organization of such merger or consolidation and any parent
              (as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities
              Exchange Act of 1934) of such corporation or business
              organization.

11.      REQUIRED PROVISIONS:

         11.1 If Employee is suspended and/or temporarily prohibited from
              participating in the conduct of Resource's affairs by a notice
              served under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, Resource's
              obligations under this Agreement shall be suspended as of the
              date of service. If the charges in the notice are dismissed,
              Resource may, in its discretion, (i) pay Employee all or part
              of the compensation withheld while its obligations under the
              Agreement were suspended, and (ii) reinstate (in whole or in
              part) any of its obligations which were suspended.

         11.2 If Employee is removed and/or permanently prohibited from
              participating in the conduct of Resource's affairs by an order
              issued under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, all
              obligations of Resource under this Agreement shall terminate
              as of the effective date of the order, but the Employee's
              vested rights shall not be affected.

         11.3 If Resource is in default as defined in the Federal Deposit
              Insurance Act, all obligations under this Agreement shall
              terminate as of the date of default, but the operation of this
              subparagraph 11.3 shall not affect any of Employee's vested
              rights.

12.      NONDISCLOSURE:

         12.1 Employee agrees to hold and safeguard any information about
              Resource and its subsidiaries gained by Employee during the course
              of Employee's employment. Employee shall not, without the prior
              written consent of Resource, disclose or make available to
              anyone for use outside Resource's and its subsidiaries'
              organization at any time, either during his employment or
              subsequent to any termination of his employment, however such
              termination is effected, whether by Employee or Resource, with
              or without cause, or expiration or nonrenewal of this
              Agreement, any information about Resource and its subsidiaries
              or its customers or suppliers, whether or not such information
              was developed by Employee, except as required in the
              performance of Employee's duties for Resource and its
              subsidiaries.

         12.2 Employee understands and agrees that any information about
              Resource and its subsidiaries or Resource's and its subsidiaries'
              customers is the property of Resource or its subsidiaries and is
              essential to the protection of Resource's and its
              subsidiaries' goodwill and to the maintenance of Resource's
              and it subsidiaries' competitive position and accordingly
              should be kept secret. Such information shall include, but not

                                       14
<PAGE>

              be limited to, information containing Resource's and its
              subsidiaries' promotional plans and strategies, pricing
              strategies, customers and prospective customers, customer
              lists, identity of key personnel in the employ of customers
              and prospective customers, computer programs, system
              documentation, manuals, ideas, or any other records or
              information belonging to Resource and its subsidiaries or
              relating to Resource's and its subsidiaries' business.

13.      NON-SOLICITATION OF EMPLOYEES: Employee agrees that during his
         employment hereunder and for a period of one year following termination
         of Employee's employment, whether such termination is voluntary or
         involuntary, effected by Resource or by Employee, regardless of cause,
         Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, hire, solicit or induce or
         attempt to hire, solicit or induce, any employee of Resource to become
         employed by Employee or any other person or entity or to perform
         services for remuneration for Employee or any other person or entity
         regardless of the structure or nature of any such remunerative
         relationship. For purposes of this paragraph 13, an employee of
         Resource shall mean any individual who was employed by Resource or any
         of its subsidiaries at the time of Employee's termination or at any
         time during the six-month period immediately preceding such
         termination. This paragraph does not apply in the event of "Change of
         Control of Resource" as defined in paragraph 10.

14.      ENTIRE AGREEMENT: This Agreement supersedes any and all other
         agreements, either oral or in writing, between the parties hereto with
         respect to the employment of Employee by Resource or any affiliate of
         Resource and contains all the covenants and agreements between the
         parties with respect to such employment. Each party to this Agreement
         acknowledges that no representations, inducements, promises or
         agreements, orally or otherwise, have been made by any party, or anyone
         acting on behalf of any party, which are not embodied herein, and that
         no other agreement, statement or promise not contained in this
         Agreement will be valid or binding. Any modification of this Agreement
         will be effective only if it is in writing signed by the party to be
         charged.

         benefit of each of the parties and their successors.

17.      CONFLICT WITH REGULATIONS:  The requirements of 12 C.F.R. ss. 563.39(b)
         (the "Employment Agreement Regulations") shall be made part of this
         Agreement and are incorporated by reference.  If any provision of this
         Agreement conflicts with the Employment agreement Regulations, the
         Employment Agreement Regulations shall govern.

18.      PARTIAL INVALIDITY: If any provision of this Agreement is held by a
         court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable,
         the remaining provisions will nevertheless continue in full force and
         effect.

19.      SEVERABILITY: If any clause or provision of this Agreement is held to
         be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under present or future laws

                                       15
<PAGE>

         effective during the term hereof, then the remainder of this Agreement
         shall not be affected thereby, and in lieu of each clause or provision
         of this Agreement which is illegal, invalid or unenforceable, and
         specifically including the restrictions on competition in paragraph 7,
         there shall be added, as a part of this Agreement, a clause or
         provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable
         clause or provision as may be possible and as may be legal, valid, and
         enforceable.

                              EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

         This Employment Agreement ("Agreement") is made as of January 1, 1999,
between Resource Bank ("Resource"), and Lawrence N. Smith ("Employee").

         WHEREAS, Resource wishes to employ Employee to serve as its Chief
Executive Officer and the President and Chief Executive Officer of Resource
Bankshares Corporation, and Employee is willing to accept such employment in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement; and

         WHEREAS, Employee recognizes the importance to Resource and to the
public of maintaining the high standards and quality associated with Resource's
name and reputation, and is willing to maintain such high standards and quality;

         NOW, THEREFORE, it is agreed as follows:


1.       TERM OF EMPLOYMENT: Subject to the provisions of this Agreement,
         Resource will employ Employee as its Chief Executive Officer and the
         President and Chief Executive Officer of Resource Bankshares
         Corporation for an initial term of five (5) years, beginning on January
         1, 1999 and expiring on December 31, 2003 ("Initial Term"). Not less
         than six (6) months prior to the expiration of the Initial Term,
         Resource's Board of Directors (the "Resource Board of Directors") shall
         conduct and complete a review of Employee's performance.

         1.1 If the Resource Board of Directors determines upon such review
             that Employee has performed in accordance with Resource's
             performance criteria, no further action will be necessary, and
             Resource shall employ Employee for an additional two-year
             period under the terms herein. Thereafter, this Agreement
             shall automatically renew for successive two-year periods
             unless either party gives three (3) months written notice
             prior to the expiration of any two-year term.

         1.2 If the Resource Board of Directors determines upon such review
             that Employee has not performed in accordance with Resource's
             performance criteria, it shall so notify Employee in writing
             at least three (3) months prior to the expiration of the
             Initial Term hereof that this Agreement will not be renewed
             ("Notice of Non-Renewal"), and this Agreement shall expire and
             the employment created herein shall end at the conclusion of
             the Initial Term. Employee shall also receive three additional
             month's regular base salary following expiration pursuant to
             Resource's regular pay schedule.

         1.3 The regular base salary payable both prior to and following
             expiration as provided in subparagraph 1.2 shall not be paid
             if Employee competes with Resource as that term is used in
             subparagraphs 7.2 and 7.3 hereof.

         1.4 Resource, in its sole discretion, shall have the option but not the
             obligation of relieving Employee of actually performing any
             services following the giving of a Notice of Non-Renewal.  Employee
             shall nonetheless be paid as provided in

<PAGE>


             subparagraph 1.2 provided he neither seeks or accepts employment in
             competition with Resource as provided in subparagraph 1.3 nor
             breaches any other provision hereof.

2.       DUTIES: During the period of employment hereunder, Employee will devote
         his best efforts and substantially his full time to the business and
         affairs of Resource, perform such services not inconsistent with his
         position as are designated by the Resource Board of Directors, and use
         his best efforts to promote the interest of Resource. Employee pledges
         that during the term of this Agreement, Employee shall not, directly or
         indirectly, engage in any business that could detract from Employee's
         ability to apply his best efforts to the performance of his duties
         hereunder. Employee further agrees to comply with all rules,
         regulations and policies established or issued by Resource.

3.       COMPENSATION: Resource will pay Employee a regular base salary
         commensurate with his position and performance, such salary to be
         determined from time to time by the Resource Board of Directors, but to
         be not less than $262,500 upon the initiation of this Agreement. Such
         salary will be payable in periodic installments on the same basis as
         that of other employees of Resource who hold executive positions. In
         addition, Employee will be eligible to participate in Resource's Bonus
         Program as determined from time to time by the Resource Board of
         Directors.

4.       BENEFITS: Employee will participate in the various employee benefit,
         disability and retirement plans provided for similarly situated
         employees according to the terms and conditions of those plans, as
         determined by the Resource Board of Directors. During each full year of
         employment, Employee shall have 5 weeks paid vacation. During
         Employee's employment with Resource, Employee will be provided with a
         leased automobile. Resource reserves the right to modify, eliminate, or
         add to any of the foregoing benefits as it deems appropriate.

5.       DEATH: If Employee should die during the term of this Agreement,
         Resource will, in lieu of payments due under other provisions of this
         Agreement, pay to Employee's estate for a period of 3 months,
         Employee's regular base salary at the time of the Employee's death plus
         any previously accrued and unpaid compensation. Thereafter, Resource
         will have no further obligation to Employee or his estate under this
         Agreement.

6.       DISABILITY: In the event that Employee, by reason of physical or mental
         incapacity or disability ("Disability"), is unable, with or without
         reasonable accommodation, to perform his duties and responsibilities
         under this Agreement, then Resource will pay to Employee his regular
         base salary for a six (6) month period following the date on which the
         Disability first begins, after which time it is intended that the
         payments under the disability insurance maintained by Resource for
         Employee will be in effect. Thereafter, Resource will have no
         obligation to pay Employee any compensation under this Agreement;
         provided, however, that for a period of one (1) year following the date
         the Disability first begins, Employee shall have the right to return to
         employment under this Agreement if Employee, with or without reasonable
         accommodation, is again able to fully perform his duties. Upon such a
         return to employment, Employee shall work as mutually agreed upon by

                                       20
<PAGE>

         Resource and Employee, and Employee shall receive the same compensation
         and benefits as set forth in this Agreement, subject to appropriate
         proration of compensation if Employee works less than the same schedule
         he had previously worked.

7.       TERMINATION WITHOUT CAUSE; SEVERANCE PAY:

         7.1 Resource may terminate Employee's employment immediately and
             without cause. However, if Resource terminates employee's
             employment pursuant to this Section 7.1, Resource shall pay to
             Employee his regular base salary payable in periodic installments
             on the same schedule as other executive employees of Resource
             through the lesser of (i) the remainder of the Initial Term of
             this Agreement or (ii) a period of thirty six (36) months
             following the date on which employment is terminated
             ("Severance Pay"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event
             Employee elects to compete with Resource or any of its
             subsidiaries as described below, Resource's obligation to pay
             the Severance Pay shall terminate immediately.

         7.2 Employee agrees that in the event he competes, directly or
             indirectly, with Resource or any of its subsidiaries within a
             30-mile radius of any Resource office, or any of its subsidiaries'
             offices, that exist on the date of such termination he will
             forfeit any remaining Severance Pay from the first date of
             such competition.

         7.3 It is the specific intent of the parties that as long as Employee
             is receiving Severance Pay, Employee shall be restricted from
             competing directly or indirectly with any segment of
             Resource's or its subsidiaries' business in which Employee
             engaged prior to the termination of employment and from any
             segment of Resource's and its subsidiaries' business, about
             which Employee acquired proprietary or confidential
             information, during the course of his employment. Resource's
             and its subsidiaries' business shall mean the business of
             banking and mortgage lending. Employee agrees that competition
             shall include engaging in competitive activity, either as an
             individual, as a partner, as a joint venturer with any other
             person or entity, or as an employee, agent, or representative
             of any other person or entity, or otherwise being associated
             in a competitive capacity with any business entity which
             directly or indirectly competes with Resource or any of its
             subsidiaries. Employee further agrees that for as long as he
             receives severance pay, he will not induce or attempt to
             induce any of the employees of Resource or its affiliates to
             terminate their agreement.

         7.4 Resource and Employee have examined in detail this paragraph 7 and
             agree that the restraint imposed upon Employee is reasonable
             in light of the legitimate interests of Employer, and it is
             not unduly harsh upon Employee's ability to earn a livelihood.

         7.5 Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary,
             any payments made to Employee pursuant to this Agreement, or
             otherwise, are subject to and conditional upon their
             compliance with 12 U.S.C. ss. 1828(k) and any regulations
             promulgated thereunder.

                                       21

8.       TERMINATION FOR CAUSE: The employee's employment may be terminated at
         any time by Resource for "cause." As used in this Agreement, the term
         cause may mean personal dishonesty; gross neglect related to
         employment; incompetence; willful misconduct; breach of loyalty or
         fiduciary duty to Employer; intentional failure to perform assigned or
         agreed upon duties; willful violation of any law, rule, or regulation
         (other than traffic violations or similar offenses); or material breach
         of any provision of this Agreement. Termination by Resource for cause
         shall be determined by the vote of at least 51% of all of the members
         of the Resource Board of Directors. If the employment is so terminated,
         Employee will be entitled to receive any regular salary earned and
         employee benefits accrued as of the date of such termination, but
         Resource will have no further obligation to Employee hereunder from and
         after such date.

9.       TERMINATION BY EMPLOYEE: Employee may resign from the employment of
         Resource at any time upon ninety (90) days prior written notice. Upon
         such resignation, Employee shall have no rights to any further
         compensation or benefits after the ninety (90) day notice period has
         expired. Resource reserves the option but not the obligation to relieve
         Employee from performance of work during this period, but absent
         subsequent breach hereof, Resource shall be obligated to pay Employee
         the Employee's regular base salary for the entire 90-day notice period.

10.      CHANGE OF CONTROL: If there shall occur a "Change of Control of
         Resource" as defined below, the employee may be assigned such other
         duties, responsibilities and compensation as would be reasonably
         equivalent under the circumstances and acceptable to the Employee in
         his reasonable discretion. Upon such occurrence, if the Employee shall
         not be given such reasonably equivalent duties, responsibilities and
         compensation, he may be terminated or he may resign; and, in either
         such case, Employee shall receive in lieu of any payments pursuant to
         paragraph 7, a one-time payment of 2.99 times the average of the last
         three (3) years' regular base salary, or if employed less than three
         years, a one-time payment of 2.99 times Employee's regular base salary
         in effect when the change of control occurs. As used in this paragraph
         10, a Change of Control of Resource shall be deemed to have occurred if
         any of the following occur:

         10.1 Any "person" (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d)(2)
              of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) is or becomes the
              beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of
              Resource representing twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the
              combined voting power of Resource's then outstanding
              securities; or

         10.2 During any period of two consecutive calendar years, individuals
              who at the beginning of such period constitute the Resource Board
              of Directors cease for any reason to constitute a majority
              thereof unless the election by Resource's Shareholders of each
              new director was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of
              the Resource directors then still in office who were directors
              at the beginning of the period.

         10.3 The approval by Resource's shareholders of the merger or
              consolidation of Resource with any other corporation or
              business organization, the sale of substantially all of the
              assets of Resource or the liquidation or dissolution of

                                       22
<PAGE>

              Resource, unless, in the case of a merger or consolidation,
              the directors of Resource in office immediately prior to such
              merger or consolidation will constitute at least two-thirds of
              the directors of the surviving corporation or business
              organization of such merger or consolidation and any parent
              (as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities
              Exchange Act of 1934) of such corporation or business
              organization.

11.      REQUIRED PROVISIONS:

         11.1 If Employee is suspended and/or temporarily prohibited from
              participating in the conduct of Resource's affairs by a notice
              served under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, Resource's
              obligations under this Agreement shall be suspended as of the
              date of service. If the charges in the notice are dismissed,
              Resource may, in its discretion, (i) pay Employee all or part
              of the compensation withheld while its obligations under the
              Agreement were suspended, and (ii) reinstate (in whole or in
              part) any of its obligations which were suspended.

         11.2 If Employee is removed and/or permanently prohibited from
              participating in the conduct of Resource's affairs by an order
              issued under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, all
              obligations of Resource under this Agreement shall terminate
              as of the effective date of the order, but the Employee's
              vested rights shall not be affected.

         11.3 If Resource is in default as defined in the Federal Deposit
              Insurance Act, all obligations under this Agreement shall
              terminate as of the date of default, but the operation of this
              subparagraph 11.3 shall not affect any of Employee's vested
              rights.

12.      NONDISCLOSURE:

         12.1 Employee agrees to hold and safeguard any information about
              Resource and its subsidiaries gained by Employee during the course
              of Employee's employment. Employee shall not, without the prior
              written consent of Resource, disclose or make available to
              anyone for use outside Resource's and its subsidiaries'
              organization at any time, either during his employment or
              subsequent to any termination of his employment, however such
              termination is effected, whether by Employee or Resource, with
              or without cause, or expiration or nonrenewal of this
              Agreement, any information about Resource and its subsidiaries
              or its customers or suppliers, whether or not such information
              was developed by Employee, except as required in the
              performance of Employee's duties for Resource and its
              subsidiaries.

         12.2 Employee understands and agrees that any information about
              Resource and its subsidiaries or Resource's and its subsidiaries'
              customers is the property of Resource or its subsidiaries and is
              essential to the protection of Resource's and its
              subsidiaries' goodwill and to the maintenance of Resource's

                                       23
<PAGE>

              and it subsidiaries' competitive position and accordingly
              should be kept secret. Such information shall include, but not

              subsidiaries' promotional plans and strategies, pricing
              strategies, customers and prospective customers, customer
              lists, identity of key personnel in the employ of customers
              and prospective customers, computer programs, system
              documentation, manuals, ideas, or any other records or
              information belonging to Resource and its subsidiaries or
              relating to Resource's and its subsidiaries' business.

13.      NON-SOLICITATION OF EMPLOYEES: Employee agrees that during his
         employment hereunder and for a period of one year following termination
         of Employee's employment, whether such termination is voluntary or
         involuntary, effected by Resource or by Employee, regardless of cause,
         Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, hire, solicit or induce or
         attempt to hire, solicit or induce, any employee of Resource to become
         employed by Employee or any other person or entity or to perform
         services for remuneration for Employee or any other person or entity
         regardless of the structure or nature of any such remunerative
         relationship. For purposes of this paragraph 13, an employee of
         Resource shall mean any individual who was employed by Resource or any
         of its subsidiaries at the time of Employee's termination or at any
         time during the six-month period immediately preceding such
         termination. This paragraph does not apply in the event of "Change of
         Control of Resource" as defined in paragraph 10.

14.      ENTIRE AGREEMENT: This Agreement supersedes any and all other
         agreements, either oral or in writing, between the parties hereto with
         respect to the employment of Employee by Resource or any affiliate of

         parties with respect to such employment. Each party to this Agreement
         acknowledges that no representations, inducements, promises or
         agreements, orally or otherwise, have been made by any party, or anyone
         acting on behalf of any party, which are not embodied herein, and that

         of this Agreement conflicts with the Employment agreement Regulations,
         the Employment Agreement Regulations shall govern.

                              EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

         This Employment Agreement ("Agreement") is made as of January 1, 1999,
between Resource Bank ("Resource"), and Eleanor J. Whitehurst ("Employee").

         WHEREAS, Resource wishes to employ Employee to serve as its Senior Vice
President and Chief Financial Officer, and Employee is willing to accept such
employment in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; and

         WHEREAS, Employee recognizes the importance to Resource and to the
public of maintaining the high standards and quality associated with Resource's
name and reputation, and is willing to maintain such high standards and quality;

         NOW, THEREFORE, it is agreed as follows:


1.       TERM OF EMPLOYMENT: Subject to the provisions of this Agreement,
         Resource will employ Employee as its Senior Vice President and Chief
         Financial Officer for an initial term of five (5) years, beginning on
         January 1, 1999 and expiring on December 31, 2003 ("Initial Term"). Not
         less than six (6) months prior to the expiration of the Initial Term,
         Resource's Board of Directors (the "Resource Board of Directors") shall
         conduct and complete a review of Employee's performance.

         1.1 If the Resource Board of Directors determines upon such review
             that Employee has performed in accordance with Resource's
             performance criteria, no further action will be necessary, and
             Resource shall employ Employee for an additional two-year
             period under the terms herein. Thereafter, this Agreement
             shall automatically renew for successive two-year periods
             unless either party gives three (3) months written notice
             prior to the expiration of any two-year term.

         1.2 If the Resource Board of Directors determines upon such review
             that Employee has not performed in accordance with Resource's
             performance criteria, it shall so notify Employee in writing
             at least three (3) months prior to the expiration of the
             Initial Term hereof that this Agreement will not be renewed
             ("Notice of Non-Renewal"), and this Agreement shall expire and
             the employment created herein shall end at the conclusion of
             the Initial Term. Employee shall also receive three additional
             month's regular base salary following expiration pursuant to
             Resource's regular pay schedule.

         1.3 The regular base salary pay le both prior to and following
             expiration as provided in subparagraph 1.2 shall not be paid
             if Employee competes with Resource as that term is used in
             subparagraphs 7.2 and 7.3 hereof.

         1.4 Resource, in its sole discretion, shall have the option but not the
             obligation of relieving Employee of actually performing any
             services following the giving of a Notice of Non-Renewal.
             Employee shall nonetheless be paid as provided in subparagraph
             1.2 provided he neither seeks or accepts employment in

<PAGE>

             competition with Resource as provided in subparagraph 1.3 nor
             breaches any other provision hereof.

2.       DUTIES: During the period of employment hereunder, Employee will devote
         his best efforts and substantially his full time to the business and
         affairs of Resource, perform such services not inconsistent with his
         position as are designated by the Resource Board of Directors, and use
         his best efforts to promote the interest of Resource. Employee pledges
         that during the term of this Agreement, Employee shall not, directly or
         indirectly, engage in any business that could detract from Employee's
         ability to apply his best efforts to the performance of his duties
         hereunder. Employee further agrees to comply with all rules,
         regulations and policies est lished or issued by Resource.

3.       COMPENSATION: Resource will pay Employee a regular base salary
         commensurate with his position and performance, such salary to be
         determined from time to time by the Resource Board of Directors, but to
         be not less than $71,000 upon the initiation of this Agreement. Such
         salary will be pay le in periodic installments on the same basis as
         that of other employees of Resource who hold executive positions. In
         addition, Employee will be eligible to participate in Resource's Bonus
         Program as determined from time to time by the Resource Board of
         Directors.

4.       BENEFITS: Employee will participate in the various employee benefit,
         disability and retirement plans provided for similarly situated
         employees according to the terms and conditions of those plans, as
         determined by the Resource Board of Directors. During each full year of
         employment, Employee shall have four weeks paid vacation. During
         Employee's employment with Resource, Employee will be provided with an
         automobile allowance in the amount of $500.00 per month. Resource
         reserves the right to modify, eliminate, or add to any of the foregoing
         benefits as it deems appropriate.

5.       DEATH: If Employee should die during the term of this Agreement,
         Resource will, in lieu of payments due under other provisions of this
         Agreement, pay to Employee's estate for a period of 3 months,
         Employee's regular base salary at the time of the Employee's death plus
         any previously accrued and unpaid compensation. Thereafter, Resource
         will have no further obligation to Employee or his estate under this
         Agreement.

6.       DISABILITY: In the event that Employee, by reason of physical or mental
         incapacity or disability ("Disability"), is unable, with or without
         reasonable accommodation, to perform his duties and responsibilities
         under this Agreement, then Resource will pay to Employee his regular
         base salary for a six (6) month period following the date on which the
         Disability first begins, after which time it is intended that the
         payments under the disability insurance maintained by Resource for
         Employee will be in effect. Thereafter, Resource will have no
         obligation to pay Employee any compensation under this Agreement;
         provided, however, that for a period of one (1) year following the date
         the Disability first begins, Employee shall have the right to return to
         employment under this Agreement if Employee, with or without reason le
         accommodation, is again  le to fully perform his duties. Upon such a

                                       29

         return to employment, Employee shall work as mutually agreed upon by
         Resource and Employee, and Employee shall receive the same compensation
         and benefits as set forth in this Agreement, subject to appropriate
         proration of compensation if Employee works less than the same schedule
         he had previously worked.

7.       TERMINATION WITHOUT CAUSE; SEVERANCE PAY:

         7.1 Resource may terminate Employee's employment immediately and
             without cause. However, if Resource terminates employee's
             employment pursuant to this Section 7.1, Resource shall pay to
             Employee his regular base salary pay le in periodic installments on
             the same schedule as other executive employees of Resource
             through the lesser of (i) the remainder of the Initial Term of
             this Agreement or (ii) a period of eighteen (18) months
             following the date on which employment is terminated
             ("Severance Pay"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event
             Employee elects to compete with Resource or any of its
             subsidiaries as described below, Resource's obligation to pay
             the Severance Pay shall terminate immediately.

         7.2 Employee agrees that in the event he competes, directly or
             indirectly, with Resource or any of its subsidiaries within a
             30-mile radius of any Resource office, or any of its subsidiaries'
             offices, that exist on the date of such termination he will
             forfeit any remaining Severance Pay from the first date of
             such competition.

         7.3 It is the specific intent of the parties that as long as Employee
             is receiving Severance Pay, Employee shall be restricted from
             competing directly or indirectly within a thirty mile radius
             of any segment of Resource's or its subsidiaries' business in
             which Employee engaged prior to the termination of employment
             and from any segment of Resource's and its subsidiaries'
             business,  out which Employee acquired proprietary or
             confidential information, during the course of his employment.
             Resource's and its subsidiaries' business shall mean the
             business of banking and mortgage lending. Employee agrees that
             competition shall include engaging in competitive activity,
             either as an individual, as a partner, as a joint venturer
             with any other person or entity, or as an employee, agent, or
             representative of any other person or entity, or otherwise
             being associated in a competitive capacity with any business
             entity which directly or indirectly competes with Resource or
             any of its subsidiaries. Employee further agrees that for as
             long as he receives severance pay, he will not induce or
             attempt to induce any of the employees of Resource or its
             affiliates to terminate their agreement.

         7.4 Resource and Employee have examined in detail this paragraph 7 and
             agree that the restraint imposed upon Employee is reason le
             in light of the legitimate interests of Employer, and it is
             not unduly harsh upon Employee's ability to earn a livelihood.

         7.5 Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary,
             any payments made to Employee pursuant to this Agreement, or
             otherwise, are subject to and conditional upon their
             compliance with 12 U.S.C. ss. 1828(k) and any regulations
             promulgated thereunder.

                                       30

8.       TERMINATION FOR CAUSE: The employee's employment may be terminated at
         any time by Resource for "cause." As used in this Agreement, the term
         cause may mean personal dishonesty; gross neglect related to
         employment; incompetence; willful misconduct; breach of loyalty or
         fiduciary duty to Employer; intentional failure to perform assigned or
         agreed upon duties; willful violation of any law, rule, or regulation
         (other than traffic violations or similar offenses); or material breach
         of any provision of this Agreement. Termination by Resource for cause
         shall be determined by the vote of at least 51% of all of the members
         of the Resource Board of Directors. If the employment is so terminated,
         Employee will be entitled to receive any regular salary earned and
         employee benefits accrued as of the date of such termination, but
         Resource will have no further obligation to Employee hereunder from and
         after such date.

9.       TERMINATION BY EMPLOYEE: Employee may resign from the employment of
         Resource at any time upon ninety (90) days prior written notice. Upon
         such resignation, Employee shall have no rights to any further
         compensation or benefits after the ninety (90) day notice period has
         expired. Resource reserves the option but not the obligation to relieve
         Employee from performance of work during this period, but  sent
         subsequent breach hereof, Resource shall be obligated to pay Employee
         the Employee's regular base salary for the entire 90-day notice period.

10.      CHANGE OF CONTROL: If there shall occur a "Change of Control of
         Resource" as defined below, the employee may be assigned such other
         duties, responsibilities and compensation as would be reasonably
         equivalent under the circumstances and accept le to the Employee in his
         reason le discretion. Upon such occurrence, if the Employee shall not
         be given such reasonably equivalent duties, responsibilities and
         compensation, he may be terminated or he may resign; and, in either
         such case, Employee shall receive in lieu of any payments pursuant to
         paragraph 7, a one-time payment of 2.99 times the average of the last
         three (3) years' regular base salary, or if employed less than three
         years, a one-time payment of 2.99 times Employee's regular base salary
         in effect when the change of control occurs. As used in this paragraph
         10, a Change of Control of Resource shall be deemed to have occurred if
         any of the following occur:

         10.1 Any "person" (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d)(2)
              of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) is or becomes the
              beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of
              Resource representing twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the
              combined voting power of Resource's then outstanding
              securities; or

         10.2 During any period of two consecutive calendar years, individuals
              who at the beginning of such period constitute the Resource Board
              of Directors cease for any reason to constitute a majority
              thereof unless the election by Resource's Shareholders of each
              new director was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of
              the Resource directors then still in office who were directors
              at the beginning of the period.

                                       31
<PAGE>

         10.3 The approval by Resource's shareholders of the merger or
              consolidation of Resource with any other corporation or
              business organization, the sale of substantially all of the
              assets of Resource or the liquidation or dissolution of
              Resource, unless, in the case of a merger or consolidation,
              the directors of Resource in office immediately prior to such
              merger or consolidation will constitute at least two-thirds of
              the directors of the surviving corporation or business
              organization of such merger or consolidation and any parent
              (as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities
              Exchange Act of 1934) of such corporation or business
              organization.

11.      REQUIRED PROVISIONS:

         11.1 If Employee is suspended and/or temporarily prohibited from
              participating in the conduct of Resource's affairs by a notice
              served under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, Resource's
              obligations under this Agreement shall be suspended as of the
              date of service. If the charges in the notice are dismissed,
              Resource may, in its discretion, (i) pay Employee all or part
              of the compensation withheld while its obligations under the
              Agreement were suspended, and (ii) reinstate (in whole or in
              part) any of its obligations which were suspended.

         11.2 If Employee is removed and/or permanently prohibited from
              participating in the conduct of Resource's affairs by an order
              issued under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, all
              obligations of Resource under this Agreement shall terminate
              as of the effective date of the order, but the Employee's
              vested rights shall not be affected.

         11.3 If Resource is in default as defined in the Federal Deposit
              Insurance Act, all obligations under this Agreement shall
              terminate as of the date of default, but the operation of this
              subparagraph 11.3 shall not affect any of Employee's vested
              rights.

12.      NONDISCLOSURE:

         12.1 Employee agrees to hold and safeguard any information out Resource
              and its subsidiaries gained by Employee during the course of
              Employee's employment. Employee shall not, without the prior
              written consent of Resource, disclose or make available to
              anyone for use outside Resource's and its subsidiaries'
              organization at any time, either during his employment or
              subsequent to any termination of his employment, however such
              termination is effected, whether by Employee or Resource, with
              or without cause, or expiration or nonrenewal of this
              Agreement, any information  out Resource and its subsidiaries
              or its customers or suppliers, whether or not such information
              was developed by Employee, except as required in the
              performance of Employee's duties for Resource and its
              subsidiaries.

         12.2 Employee understands and agrees that any information out Resource

<PAGE>

              is the property of Resource or its subsidiaries and is
              essential to the protection of Resource's and its
              subsidiaries' goodwill and to the maintenance of Resource's
              and it subsidiaries' competitive position and accordingly
              should be kept secret. Such information shall include, but not

              subsidiaries' promotional plans and strategies, pricing
              strategies, customers and prospective customers, customer
              lists, identity of key personnel in the employ of customers
              and prospective customers, computer programs, system
              documentation, manuals, ideas, or any other records or
              information belonging to Resource and its subsidiaries or
              relating to Resource's and its subsidiaries' business.

13.      NON-SOLICITATION OF EMPLOYEES: Employee agrees that during his
         employment hereunder and for a period of one year following termination
         of Employee's employment, whether such termination is voluntary or
         involuntary, effected by Resource or by Employee, regardless of cause,
         Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, hire, solicit or induce or
         attempt to hire, solicit or induce, any employee of Resource to become
         employed by Employee or any other person or entity or to perform
         services for remuneration for Employee or any other person or entity
         regardless of the structure or nature of any such remunerative
         relationship. For purposes of this paragraph 13, an employee of
         Resource shall mean any individual who was employed by Resource or any
         of its subsidiaries at the time of Employee's termination or at any
         time during the six-month period immediately preceding such
         termination. This paragraph does not apply in the event of "Change of
         Control of Resource" as defined in paragraph 10.

14.      ENTIRE AGREEMENT: This Agreement supersedes any and all other
         agreements, either oral or in writing, between the parties hereto with
