         The  following  discussion  and  analysis of  financial  condition  and

         Heritage Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company"), a Virginia corporation,  is the

commercial  bank.  On October 1, 1998,  the Company  acquired all of the capital
stock of the Bank  and  shareholders  of the  Bank  became  shareholders  of the
Company  in a share  for share  exchange  pursuant  to a plan of  reorganization
approved by the Bank's  shareholders on August 26, 1998, whereby the Bank became

         The Bank is the only independent financial institution headquartered in

deposit services aimed at individual and commercial customers in the McLean area
of Fairfax County, Virginia and the Sterling area of Loudoun County.

         The  business of the Bank  consists  of  attracting  deposits  from the
general  public and using these funds to originate  various  types of individual
and  commercial  loans  primarily in the McLean and Sterling  areas.  The Bank's
commercial activities include providing checking accounts, money market accounts
and certificates of deposit to small and medium sized businesses.  The Bank also
provides  credit  services,  such as lines of credit,  term loans,  construction
loans,  and letters of credit,  as well as real estate  loans and other forms of
collateralized  financing.  The Bank's products include checking  accounts,  NOW
accounts,  savings  accounts,  certificates  of deposit,  installment  accounts,
construction and other personal loans,  home improvement  loans,  automobile and
other consumer financing.

         On May 18, 1998, the Bank closed a secondary offering of 805,000 shares
of its common stock,  par value $1.00 per share (the  "Offering"),  at $5.50 per
share,  raising  $4.4 million in gross  proceeds.  After  offering  expenses and

offering.

Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998

     Total  assets  decreased  $4.4  million,  or 6.8%,  from  $64.8  million at
December 31, 1998 to $60.4 million at June 30, 1999. This decrease in assets was
due to the withdrawal of funds from attorneys escrow  accounts.  On December 28,
1998 the Bank had $8.0 million dollars  deposited into attorneys escrow account.
These funds were  withdrawn  the first week of January  1999.  In addition,  net
loans increased by $0.4 million.  Federal funds sold decreased $4.7 million from
$8.6  million  at  December  31,  1998 to $3.9  million at June 30,  1999.  This
decrease  primarily is due to the use of these funds to purchase U. S.  Agencies
Bonds in order to receive a higher yield.

         Securities  available for sale increased $3.2 million,  or 15.9%,  from
$19.8  million at  December  31,  1998 to $23.0  million at June 30,  1999.  The
increase was primarily  caused by the investment of funds  transferred  from fed
funds sold into the bond portfolio.

         Net loans  increased  $353  thousand,  or 1.2%,  from $29.2  million at
December 31, 1998 to $29.5 million at June 30, 1999. This increase was primarily
due to a increase in loan demand due to marketing efforts.

         Total deposits  decreased $4.6 million,  or 8.6%, from $53.4 million at
December 31, 1998 to $48.9 million at June 30, 1999. This decrease was caused by
a decrease in attorney's  escrow  account  balances.  Of these  deposits,  $40.0
million were core deposits which the Bank uses to originate loans.

         Repurchase agreements at June 30, 1999 totaled $2.6 million as compared
to $2.3 million at December 31, 1998. The Bank utilizes repurchase agreements to
fund customer sweep accounts.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended June 30,
1999 and 1998

         Net income.  The Company had net income for the three months ended June
30, 1999 of $15 000, or $0.01 basic and diluted earnings per share,  compared to
net income of $100,000,  or $0.05 basic and diluted  earnings per share, for the
three months ended June 30,  1998.  This $85,000  decrease in net income for the
three  months  ended June  30,1999  compared  to the same period in 1998 was due
primarily  to an  increase  of $43,000 in  occupancy  expense  connected  to the
opening of the Sterling Branch and some new office space in the main office, and
an increase in personnel expense of $93,000. Personnel expense increased because
of additional  salaries of $41,000 for the Sterling Branch and incentive bonuses
paid to employees of $52,000. Consulting and legal expenses in connection with a
potential  branch site and expansion of the main office totaled  $45,000.  Other
expenses were affected by $40,000 of non-loan charge-offs, of which a large part
was the  payment due under the terms of a lawsuit  settled in March 1999.  These
expenses were partially offset by an increase of $133,000 in net interest income
due primarily to the growth in both the loan and security portfolio.

Interest Income.  Total interest income for the three months ended June 30, 1999
was $1.1  million as compared to $917,000  for the three  months  ended June 30,
1998,  representing  an increase of $195,000,  or 21.3%.  This  increase was due
primarily  to the  increase in the bond  portfolio  and interest on loans due to
increased marketing efforts.

         Interest  Expense.  Total interest expense  increased from $304,000 for
the three months ended June 30, 1998 to $366,000 for the three months ended June
30, 1999,  representing an increase of $62,000,  or 20.4%. This increase was due
primarily to the increase in interest bearing deposits from June 30, 1998.

         Net Interest  Income.  Net interest  income is the  difference  between
interest earned on loans, investments, securities and short term investments and
interest  paid on  deposits.  Factors  affecting  net  interest  income  include
interest rates earned on loans and investments  and those paid on deposits,  the
mix and volume of earning assets and interest bearing  liabilities and the level
of  non-earning  assets  and  non-interest  bearing   liabilities.   The  Bank's
management  seeks to maximize net interest  income by managing the balance sheet
and  determining  the optimal  product mix with  respect to yields on assets and
costs of funds in light of projected economic  conditions,  while maintaining an
acceptable level of risk.

         Net interest  income  increased in the three months ended June 30, 1999
by $133,000, or 21.7%, from $613,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1998 to
$746,000  for the three  months  ended  June 30,  1999.  This  increase  was due
primarily to the increase in the bond portfolio and interest on loans.

         Provision for Loan Losses.  The provision for loan losses for the three
months ended June 30, 1999 was $6,000, as compared to $2,000 for the same period
in the prior year,  representing a 200% increase. The level of the allowance for
loan losses is based upon management's  ongoing review of the loan portfolio and
includes  the  present  and  prospective   financial   condition  of  borrowers,
consideration of actual loan loss experience and projected  economic  conditions
in general and for the Bank's service areas in particular.  Management  believes
that the  provision  for loan  losses  and the  allowance  for loan  losses  are
reasonable  and  adequate  to cover any known  losses and any losses  reasonably
expected in the existing loan portfolio.  While management estimates loan losses
using  the  best  available  information,  such  as  independent  appraisals  on
collateral,  no assurance  can be given that future  additions to the  allowance
will not be  necessary  based on  changes in  economic  and real  estate  market
conditions,   further  information   obtained  regarding  known  problem  loans,
identification of




                                       12
<PAGE>


additional problem loans, regulatory examinations and other factors, both within
and outside of management's control.

          Other income. Total other income consists primarily of service charges
and fees associated with the Bank's checking and savings  accounts.  Total other
income increased $4,000 from $34,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1998 to
$38,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1999. This was caused by an increase
in service charges on deposit accounts.

          Other expense.  Other expense consists primarily of operating expenses
for compensation and related benefits, occupancy, federal insurance premiums and
operating assessments and data processing charges. Total other expense increased
by $206,000, or 37.9%, from $543,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1998 to
$749,000  for the three  months  ended  June 30,  1999.  This  increase  was due
primarily to an increase of $93,000 in salaries and employees benefits caused by
$41,000 in  additional  salaries  for the  Sterling  Branch and $52,000  paid to
employees in incentive  bonuses.  Also  occupancy  expense  increased by $49,000
caused by the opening of the Loudoun Branch and the addition of new space in the
main  office.  Other  expenses  increased  by  $56,000  caused by legal fees and
consultant  fees in connection  with a possible  branch location in Great Falls,
Va. Other  expenses  were also affected by $40,000 of non-loan  charge-offs,  of
which a large part was the payment  due under the terms of a lawsuit  settled in
March 1999.

          Income Tax  Expense.  The Company had a tax expense of $14,000 for the
three months  ended June 30, 1999 and $2,000 for June 30, 1998.  At December 31,
1998, the Company had operating loss  carryforwards  of  approximately  $129,000
that may be offset against future taxable  income.  The Company has used its net
operating loss carryforward in its entirety by June 30, 1999.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 1999 and 1998

          Net income.  The Company had net income for the six months  ended June
30, 1999 of $192,000, or $0.08 basic and diluted earnings per share, compared to
net income of $201,000,  or $0.12 basic and diluted  earnings per share, for the
six months ended June 30,  1998.  This $9,000  decrease was due  primarily to an
increase of $124,000 in salaries and benefits  caused by additional  salaries of
$41,000 for the  Sterling  Branch and  incentive  bonuses  paid to  employees of
$52,000.  Interest expense increased $145,000,  also occupancy expense increased
by $43,000  caused by the opening of the Loudoun  County Branch and the addition
of new space in the main office.  Other expenses increased by $105,000 caused by
legal fees and consultant  fees in connection with a possible branch location in
Great Falls,  Va. and  non-loan  charge-offs  of $40,000.  These  expenses  were
partially offset by a increase of $457,000 in total interest income.

          Interest  Income.  Total interest income for the six months ended June
30, 1999 was $2.2  million as compared to $1.8 million for six months ended June
30, 1998,  representing an increase of $457,000, or 26.1%. This increase was due
primarily to the growth in the bond portfolio and interest on loans.

          Interest  Expense.  Total interest expense increased from $581,000 for
the six months ended June 30, 1998 to $726,000 for the six months ended June 30,
1999,  representing  an increase of $145,000,  or 25.0%.  This  increase was due
primarily to the growth in interest  bearing deposits from June 30, 1998 to June
30, 1999.

          Net Interest  Income.  Net interest  income is the difference  between
interest earned on loans, investments, securities and short term investments and
interest  paid on  deposits.  Factors  affecting  net  interest  income  include
interest rates earned on loans and investments  and those paid on deposits,  the

or  non-earning  assets  and  non-interest  bearing   liabilities.   The  Bank's
management  seeks to maximize net interest  income by managing the balance sheet
and  determining  the optimal  product mix with  respect to yields on assets and
costs of funds in light of projected economic  conditions,  while maintaining an
acceptable level of risk.

          Net interest income increased in the six months ended June 30, 1999 by
$312,000,  or 26.6%,  from  $1,173,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 to
$1,485,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999.  This increase was due to the
growth in the security portfolio and loan portfolios, which was partially offset
by the increase in interest bearing deposits used to fund the growth.

          Provision  for Loan Losses.  The provision for loan losses for the six
months  ended June 30,  1999 was  $13,000,  as  compared  to $4,000 for the same
period in the  prior  year,  representing  a $9,000  increase.  The level of the
allowance for loan losses is based upon management's  ongoing review of the loan
portfolio  and  includes  the present and  prospective  financial  condition  of

          Other income. Total other income consists primarily of service charges
and fees associated with the Bank's checking and savings  accounts.  Total other
income  increased  $6,000 from $66,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 to
$72,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999.  This  increase was caused by an
increase in other service charges.

          Other expense.  Other expense consists primarily of operating expenses
for compensation and related benefits, occupancy, federal insurance premiums and
operating assessments and data processing charges. Total other expense increased
by $287,000, or 27.8%, from $1,032,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 to
$1,319,000  for the six  months  ended  June 30,  1999.  This  increase  was due
primarily to an increase of $124,000 in salaries and employees  benefits  caused
in part by $41,000 in  additional  salaries for the Sterling  Branch and $52,000
paid to employees in incentive  bonuses.  Also  occupancy  expense  increased by
$49,000  caused by the  opening of the  Loudoun  Branch and the  addition of new
space in the main office.  Other expenses  increased by $105,000 caused by legal
fees and consultant  fees in connection with a possible branch location in Great
Falls, Va. Other expenses were also affected by $40,000 of non-loan charge-offs,
of which a large part was the payment  due under the terms of a lawsuit  settled
in March 1999.

          Income Tax  Expense.  The Company had a tax expense of $33,000 for the
six months ended June 30, 1999 and $2,000 expense for June 30, 1998. At December
31, 1998, the Company had operating loss carryforwards of approximately $129,000
that may be offset against future taxable  income.  The Company had used its net
operating loss carryforward in its entirety by June 30, 1999.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         Liquidity  is a measure of the Bank's  ability to  generate  sufficient
cash to meet present and future financial obligations in a timely manner through
either the sale or maturity of existing  assets or the acquisition of additional
funds through liability  management.  These obligations include the credit needs
of customers,  funding deposit withdrawals, and the day-to-day operations of the
Bank. Liquid assets include cash,  interest-bearing deposits with banks, federal
funds  sold,  and  certain  investment  securities.  As a result  of the  Bank's
management  of liquid  assets and the  ability  to  generate  liquidity  through
liability funding, management believes that the Bank maintains overall liquidity
sufficient  to satisfy  its  depositors'  requirements  and meet its  customers'
credit needs. The levels of the Bank's liquid assets are dependent on the Bank's
operating,   financing  and  investing   activities  during  any  given  period.
Management believes it will have adequate resources to fund all commitments on a
short-term and long-term basis in accordance with its business strategy.

         As of June 30, 1999, cash,  federal funds sold, and  available-for-sale
securities  represented  55.96% of deposits and other  liabilities,  compared to
61.24% at December 31, 1998.

         Management  continuously  reviews the  capital  position of the Bank to
insure  compliance with minimum  regulatory  requirements,  as well as exploring
ways to increase capital either by retained earnings or other means.

         Banks are required to maintain minimum risk-based capital ratios. These
ratios  compare  capital,  as defined by the risk-based  regulations,  to assets
adjusted  for their  relative  risk as  defined by the  regulations.  Guidelines
require  banks  to have a  minimum  Tier 1  capital  ratio,  as  defined  by the
regulators,  of 4.00% and a minimum Tier 2 capital ratio of 8.00%, and a minimum
4.00% leverage  capital ratio. On June 30, 1999, the Bank's Tier 1 capital ratio
was 24.69%, Tier 2 capital ratio was 25.94% and leverage ratio was 14.59%, which
exceeded all of its regulatory capital requirements.


                                       15
<PAGE>

         At June 30,  1999,  the total  stockholders'  equity of the Company was
$8.8  million,  and the ratio of average  stockholders'  equity to average total
assets was 14.84%, as compared to 14.47% for 1998.

Year 2000 Issues

         The "Year 2000 Problem" centers on the inability of computer systems to
recognize  the Year 2000.  Many  existing  computer  programs  and systems  were
originally  programmed  with six digit  dates that  provided  only two digits to
identify the calendar year in the date field,  without  considering the upcoming
change  in the  century.  With the  impending  millennium,  these  programs  and
computers will  recognize "00" as the year 1900 rather than the Year 2000.  Like
most financial service providers,  the Bank may be significantly affected by the
Year 2000 Problem due to the nature of financial  information.  Furthermore,  if
computer  systems are not  adequately  changed to identify  the Year 2000,  many
computer applications could fail or create erroneous results.

         In addition,  noninformation  technology  systems,  such as telephones,
copies  and  elevators  may  contain  embedded  technology  which  controls  its
operations  and  which may be  affected  by the Year 2000  Problem.  Thus,  even
noninformation  technology  systems  may  affect the  normal  operations  of the
Company upon the arrival of the Year 2000.

       To address the Year 2000 Problem, the Bank hired an outside consultant to
assess  the  impact  of the Year 2000  Problem  on the  Bank.  Because  the Bank
outsources its data processing  operations,  a significant component of the Year
2000 plan is working with external  vendors to test and certify their systems as
Year 2000 compliant. The Bank's external vendors have surveyed their programs to
inventory  the  necessary  changes  and have  begun  correcting  the  applicable
computer programs and replacing equipment so that the Bank's information systems
will be Year 2000 compliant  prior to the end of 1998. This will enable the Bank
to devote  substantial  time to the testing of the upgraded systems prior to the
arrival of the millennium in order to comply with all applicable regulations.

         The Company's timetable for working on the Year 2000 Problem is divided
into the following five phases:
<TABLE>

</TABLE>

         Contingency Planning.  The Bank has a contingency plan to keep the Bank
in operation in the event that some Year 2000 problems have been  overlooked and
system malfunctions occur at the turn of the century. This plan was developed by
the Bank's outside consultant with the help of Bank management.  The Company has
developed contingency or


                                       16
<PAGE>

alternate plans for its mission critical systems on a department-by-  department
basis in anticipation of potential  unplanned system difficulties or third-party
failures at January 1, 2000 or dates beyond.  However, the Bank understands that
certain  events beyond its control,  such as extended  power outages and loss of
telecommunications,  may  diminish  its  ability  to provide  minimum  levels of
service.  Failure of these services will affect  companies,  individuals and the
government,  and can not be remedied by anyone other than the responsible party.
For some  systems,  contingency  plans  consist of using or  reverting to manual
systems until the problems can be corrected.

         While the Company expects to complete its Year 2000 project in a timely
manner,  it cannot guarantee that the systems of companies with whom it conducts
business,  will also be  completed  in a timely  manner.  The  failure  of these
entities to adequately  address the Year 2000 Problem could adversely affect the
Company's and Bank's ability to conduct business.

         Costs.  The Company  currently  estimates its total direct and indirect
cost will be  $35,000.  To date,  the  Company  has spent  $31,000  on Year 2000
issues.  The  costs  of the  project  and the date on  which  the Bank  plans to
complete the Year 2000  modifications  are based on management's best estimates,
which were derived utilizing numerous assumptions of future events including the
continued availability of certain resources,  third party modification plans and
other factors.  However,  there can be no guarantee that these estimates will be
achieved,  and actual  results  could differ  materially  from those  plans.  In
addition, there can be no guarantee that the systems of other companies on which
the Bank's systems rely will be timely  converted,  or that a failure to convert
by  another  company,  or a  conversion  that is  incompatible  with the  Bank's
systems,  would not have a material  adverse  effect on the Bank. The Bank has a
contingency  plan to keep the bank in operation in the event that some year 2000
problems have been overlooked and system  malfunctions  occur at the turn of the
century.  This plan was developed by the Bank's outside consultant with the help
of Bank management.


Provision for Loan Losses

         For the three months ended June 30, 1999 the  provision for loan losses
was $6,000,  a 200%  increase  compared to the $2,000  allowance for loan losses
recorded in the second three months of 1998.

 An analysis of the allowance for loan losses is as follows:

result of foreclosure  or conveyance in lieu of foreclosure  held by the Bank or
Company at the time this  Agreement is executed  regardless  of the  disposition
dates of such properties  ("Profits")  and asset growth  established by the Bank
Board  annually,  in  consultation  with the Executive,  the Executive  shall be
entitled to receive a short term  performance  bonus  ("Short  Term  Performance
Bonus"),  in cash, as a percentage of Base  Compensation,  payable within thirty
(30) days after the completion of the year-end financial  statements.  The Short
Term Performance  Bonus shall be pro-rated for the portion of the year Executive
is employed for any year in which Executive is not employed through the last day
of such year.  The 1999 targets for Profits and asset growth are set forth below
and shall be applied to the entire 1999  calendar  year as though the  Executive
had been employed for the entirety of such year. These targets shall be reviewed
and  adjusted  annually  by the Bank Board in  consultation  with the  Executive
following receipt of the year-end financial  statement.  Profit growth and asset
growth shall each carry a fifty percent (50%) weighted value and a percentage of
salary payout prorated on the basis of the percentage of performance level based
upon a Profit achieved of Six Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars  ($600,000.00)
as a 1999  base  performance  goal  of  (100%),  and an  asset  growth  base  of

Performance     Achieved Payout      Profit Achieved     Asset Growth Achieved

   90%                10%              $540,000.00           $60,300,000.00
  100%                15%               600,000.00            67,000,000.00
  110%                20%               660,000.00            73,700,000.00
  125%                30%               750,000.00            83,750,000.00
  140%                40%               840,000.00            93,800,000.00
  155%                50%               930,000.00           103,850,000.00
  170%                60%             1,020,000.00           112,500,000.00


For each one and one-half  percent (1 1/2%) of  Performance  Achieved  above one
hundred seventy percent (170%), Payout shall be increased by one percent (1%).

For  example,  if Base  Compensation  for a given  year  is One  Hundred  Twenty
Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($120,000.00) and the Executive's  performance level
is one  hundred  percent  (100%) of asset  growth  achieved  and one hundred ten
percent (110%) of Profit  achieved,  the Short Term  Performance  Bonus would be
Twenty-One Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($21,000.00) calculated as follows:

              Target Base     Compensation     Weight     Payout     Bonus
              -----------     ------------     ------     ------     -----

              Asset Growth    $120,000.00 X     .5 X       15%=    $ 9,000.00

              Earnings         120,000.00 X     .5 X       20%=     12,000.00
                                                                    ---------
                     Total Bonus                                   $21,000.00

     3.3 Long Term Performance Bonus - Stock Options. Provided the Bank achieves
appropriate  regulatory  ratings  for safety and  soundness,  and based upon the
performance  of the Bank in relation to targets for  earnings  and asset  growth
established by the Bank Board, annually, in consultation with the Executive, the
Executive  shall be entitled  to receive  long term  performance  bonus of stock
options  ("Long  Term  Performance  Bonus"),  for  a  dollar  amount  of  shares
calculated as a percentage  of Base  Compensation,  to be awarded  within thirty
(30) days after the completion of the year-end  financial  statements.  The Long
Term  Performance  Bonus shall be prorated  for the portion of the year that the
Executive  is  employed  for any year in which  the  Executive  is not  employed
through the last day of such year.  The 1999 targets for Profit and asset growth
are set forth  below and shall be applied to the entire  1999  calendar  year as
though the  Executive  had been  employed for the  entirety of such year.  These
targets  shall  be  reviewed  and  adjusted   annually  by  the  Bank  Board  in
consultation  with the  Executive  following  receipt of the year-end  financial
statements.  Profit  growth and asset  growth  shall each carry a fifty  percent
(50%)  weighted  value  and  the  payout  being  prorated  on the  basis  of the
percentage of performance level achieved as set forth in Paragraph 3.2. The 1999
Long Term Bonus shall be computed as follows:

                 90%                                      25%
                100%                                      50%

               170%                                     175%

For each one and  one-half  percent (1 1/2%) of  increase in  performance  level
above one hundred seventy percent (170%),  the Payout  Percentage shall increase
two and one-half percent (2 1/2%).

Such stock  options  shall  constitute  incentive  stock  options  defined under
Section 422 of the Internal  Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"),  and
shall be issued under the Employee  Incentive Stock Option Plan, as amended,  or
any  successor  stock option plan or plans (the  "Plan"),  at an exercise  price
equal to the fair market value of the  underlying  shares of the issuance  date,
under terms and conditions  substantially  in the form of the Stock Option Grant
Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit "A".

For example, if Base Compensation for a year is One Hundred Twenty Thousand and
No/100  Dollars  ($120,000.00)  and at the time of the  award  the  price of the
shares of common  stock is Five and No/100  Dollars  ($5.00) per share,  and the
Executive's performance level was one hundred percent (100%) of asset growth and
one hundred ten percent (110%) of Profit growth, the Long Term Performance Bonus
would be an award of the option to purchase Fifteen Thousand  (15,000) shares at
Five and No/100 Dollars ($5.00) per share, calculated as follows:
                                             Payout
  Target        Base Compensation     Percentage      Weight       Bonus
  ------        -----------------     ----------      ------       -----

Asset Growth      $120,000.00 X        .50  X          .5  =     $30,000.00
Earnings           120,000.00 X        .75  X          .5  =      45,000.00
                                                                  ---------
Total                                                            $75,000.00

Total: $75,000.00 / $5.00 per share = 15,000 option shares

Company shall grant to the Executive an option ("Execution  Option") to purchase
five  thousand  (5,000)  shares of stock of the Company at an exercise  price of
fair market value as of the date of execution.  The Execution  Option shall vest
immediately  as to one  hundred  percent  (100%) of the  shares  subject to such
Option.  Such stock option shall constitute an incentive stock option under Code
Section  422, if the  exercise  price equals or exceeds the fair market value of
the underlying  shares at the issuance date, and shall be issued under the Plan,
as amended as of the issuance date, under the terms and conditions  contained in
the stock  Heritage  Bank Employee  Incentive  Stock Option  attached  hereto as
Exhibit "A",  which shall be executed by the Company and the Executive as of the
date of the execution of this Agreement

Executive  shall also receive a signing bonus equal to eight  thousand times the
increase in the per share fair market value of Company  common stock from May 3,
1999 to October 1, 1999. For example,  if in the time period between May 3, 1999
and October 1, 1999 the per share market value increased ten cents,  Executive's
bonus would be $800.00.

     3.5 Grant of Option  Vesting.  Upon the  execution of this  Agreement,  the
Company shall grant to the Executive an additional option ("Anniversary Option")
to purchase three thousand (3,000) shares of stock of the Company at an exercise
price of fair market value as of the date of the  execution  of this  Agreement.
The  Anniversary  Option shall vest upon such first  anniversary  of Executive's
employment  as to one  hundred  percent  (100%) of the  shares  subject  to such
Option.  Such stock option shall constitute an incentive stock option under Code
Section  422, if the  exercise  price equals or exceeds the fair market value of
the underlying  shares at the issuance date, and shall be issued under the Plan,
as amended as of the issuance date, under the terms and conditions  contained in

date of the execution of this Agreement

welfare,  life and health insurance,  and other benefit plans or programs of the

hereunder for a period of ninety (90) consecutive days during the term hereof.

     4.1.3 The Bank or the  Company  may,  by written  notice to the  Executive,
immediately  terminate her employment at any time for Just Cause.  The Executive
shall have no right to receive  compensation  or other  benefits  for any period
after  termination  for Just  Cause.  Termination  for "Just  Cause"  shall mean

and/or the Bank Board, the Executive's personal dishonesty,  breach of fiduciary
duty  involving  personal  profit,  willful  failure to perform  stated  duties,

Company  Board,  willful  violation of any law, rule or  regulation  (other than
traffic violations or similar minor offenses),  final cease-and-desist order, or

failed to act with an absence of good faith and without a reasonable belief that
the  action or  failure to act was in the best  interest  of the  Company or the
Bank.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,  the Executive shall not be deemed to have
been  terminated  for Just Cause unless  there shall have been  delivered to the
Executive  a copy of a  resolution  duly  adopted by the  affirmative  vote of a
majority  of either  the  Company  Board or the Bank  Board at a meeting of such
Board called and held for such purpose (after reasonable notice to the Executive
and an  opportunity  for the  Executive to be heard before such Board),  finding
that,  in the good faith  opinion of such  Board,  the  Executive  was guilty of
conduct  constituting  Just  Cause and  specifying  the  particulars  thereof in
detail.

    4.1.4 By the Bank or the  Company,  at any time,  in their  sole  discretion
without  Just Cause,  upon  delivery of a Notice of  Termination  (as defined in
paragraph 4.2) to the Executive.  No Notice of Termination  shall be given under
this paragraph unless there shall have been a majority vote of the Company Board
or the Bank Board  approving  such action at a meeting of such Board  called and
held for that purpose.

     4.1.5 By the Executive for Just Cause by delivering a Notice of Termination
(as hereinafter defined in paragraph 4.2) stating with particularity the reasons
for the  giving of the  Notice of  Termination.  Upon  receipt  of the Notice of
Termination under this Paragraph 4.1.5, the Bank and/or the Company shall have a
thirty (30) day period within which to cure the  circumstances  set forth in the
Notice of Termination  given by the Executive.  As used in this Paragraph 4.1.5,
Just Cause shall mean the  occurrence of any of the  following  events that have
not  been  consented  to in  writing  by  the  Executive  in  advance:  (i)  the
requirement  that the  Executive  move her  personal  residence  or perform  her
principal executive functions, more than thirty-five (35) miles from her primary
office;  (ii) the  assignment  to the  Executive of duties and  responsibilities
materially  different  from  those  normally  associated  with her  position  as
referenced  in  Paragraph  1 hereof;  (iii) a failure to elect or  re-elect  the
Executive to the Bank Board or the Company Board; or (iv) a material  diminution
or  reduction  in  the  Executive's  responsibilities  or  authority  (including
reporting responsibilities) in connection with her employment with the Bank.

     4.2 "Notice of Termination" shall mean a written notice of termination from
the Bank or the  Executive  which  specifies an effective  date of  termination,
indicates the specific termination  provision in this Agreement relied upon, and
sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a
basis for  termination  of the  Executive's  employment  under the  provision so
indicated.  A Notice of  Termination  by the Bank  without  Just Cause  shall be
sufficient  if it states  that the  termination  is without  Just Cause  without
further detail.

     4.3  "Termination  Date" shall mean, in the case of the Executive's  death,
her date of  death,  or the date  upon  which the  employment  of the  Executive
ceases.

    4.4 If the Executive's  employment with the Bank and/or the Company shall be
terminated  during the Term (i) by reason of the  Executive's  death; or (ii) by
the Bank and/or the Company for Disability or Just Cause,  the Bank shall pay to
the  Executive  (or in the case of her death,  the  Executive's  estate)  within
fifteen (15) days after the  Termination  Date a lump sum cash payment  equal to
all Base  Compensation  earned through the Termination  Date. If the Termination
Date  occurs  before  Executive  has  received  any Short Term  and/or Long Term
Performance Bonuses to which she is entitled for any fiscal year pursuant to the
provisions of Paragraphs 3.2 and 3.3, then Executive shall also be paid the Long
Term and Short Term  Performance  Bonuses in accordance  with the  provisions of
Paragraphs  3.2 and 3.3 above.  Vested rights of the Executive  relating to such
matters as her 401(k) account, ESOP account, qualified pension plan and the like
shall not be affected by such termination, but shall be governed by the terms of
such plans and accounts.

    4.5 If the Executive's  employment with the Bank and/or the Company shall be
terminated  by the Bank  and/or the  Company  without  Just Cause  (pursuant  to
paragraph 4.1.4), the Executive shall be entitled to the following:

     4.5.1 The Bank  and/or  the  Company  shall pay the  Executive  (i) in cash
within  fifteen  (15) days after  Termination  Date an amount  equal to all Base
Compensation earned through the Termination Date; and (ii) in the event that the
Termination Date occurs before Executive has received any Short Term and/or Long
Term Performance  Bonuses to which she is entitled for that fiscal year pursuant
to the provisions of Paragraphs  3.2 and 3.3, then Executive  shall also be paid
the Long  Term  and  Short  Term  Performance  Bonuses  in  accordance  with the
provisions of Paragraphs 3.2 and 3.3 above.

    4.5.2 For the period (the  "Continuation  Period") from the Termination Date
through the end of the  Initial  Term or Renewal  Term,  the Bank or the Company
shall pay to the  Executive in cash at the end of each regular pay period of the
Bank,  an  amount  equal to the Base  Compensation  to which  the  Executive  is
entitled pursuant to Paragraph 3.1 above;  provided,  however, in no event shall
Executive  be paid  under  this  subsection  for a period  of less than nine (9)
months.

     4.5.3 The Bank shall, at its expense,  continue for the Continuation Period
on behalf of the Executive and her  dependents the life  insurance,  disability,
medical, dental and hospitalization benefits provided to the Executive as of the
Termination  Date on the  same  basis as such  benefits  are  provided  to other
similarly situated  executives who continue in the employ of the bank during the
Continuation Period. The coverage and benefits (including deductibles and costs)
provided in this Paragraph 4.5.3 during the Continuation Period shall be no less
favorable  to the  Executive  and her  dependents  and  beneficiaries  than  the
benefits available to Executive as of the Termination Date and shall provide for
Executive's  automobile  expenses,  office and phone  expenses and  outplacement
services. The Bank's obligation hereunder with respect to the foregoing benefits
shall be limited to the extent  that the  Executive  obtains  any such  benefits
pursuant to a subsequent  employer's  benefit plans,  in which case the Bank may
reduce the  coverage of any  benefits  it is  required to provide the  Executive
hereunder  as long as the  appropriate  coverages  and  benefits of the combined
benefit  plans is no less  favorable to the  Executive  than the  coverages  and
benefits required to be provided hereunder.

     4.5.4 The  Executive  shall not be required  to mitigate  the amount of any
payment  provided for in this Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise
and no such payment shall be offset or reduced by the amount of any compensation
or benefits  provided to the Executive in any  subsequent  employment  except as
provided in Paragraph 4.5.3.

     4.6 The severance pay and benefits  provided for in this  Paragraph 4 shall
be in lieu of any other  severance or termination pay to which the Executive may
be entitled under any Bank severance or termination plan,  program,  practice or
arrangement,  except that termination of Executive's employment by the Executive
after the occurrence of a Change in Control,  as hereinafter  defined,  shall be
covered  by the  provisions  of  Paragraph  5 below and the  provisions  of this
Paragraph 4 shall not apply.

    4.7 In the event that the Executive terminates this Agreement for Just Cause
pursuant to Paragraph  4.1.5,  she shall be entitled to be paid by the Bank,  in
cash at the end of each  regular pay period of the Bank,  an amount equal to the
Base  Compensation to which the Executive is entitled  pursuant to Paragraph 3.1
above;  provided,  however,  in no event  shall  Executive  be paid  under  this
subsection for a period of less than nine (9) months.

    4.8 This Agreement shall terminate  immediately without further liability or
obligation of the Bank or the Company to the Executive (i) if the Bank is closed
or  taken  over by the  Office  of the  Comptroller  of the  Currency  or  other
supervisory authority,  including the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation;  or
(ii) if any such  supervisory  authority  should  exercise  its cease and desist
powers to remove the Executive from office.

     4.9 To the extent any  provision  of this  Agreement,  with  respect to the
Executive's  employee stock options,  is inconsistent  with the Heritage Bancorp
