NOTE 4.  FIXED ASSETS

In the  third  quarter  of 1999,  we  recorded  a gain on sale of the  corporate
aircraft  of $3.8  million.  The  aircraft  was  sold to  entities  directly  or
indirectly  owned by Mr.  Allbritton  (Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive
Officer of the  Corporation).  The increase in premises  and  equipment of $18.7
million from September 30, 1998 to December 31, 1998 reflects  payments toward a
replacement  aircraft,  which we acquired  during the third quarter of 1999. The
decrease in premises  and  equipment  from year end 1998 to  September  30, 1999
included a reduction for the sale of the older aircraft,  which had a book value
of $6.5  million.  This  decrease  was  partially  offset by the  addition of an
International Financial Center in Washington,  D.C., and by final payment on the
new aircraft.

Our  reportable  segments are  strategic  business  units that  provide  diverse
products and  services  within the  financial  services  industry.  We have five
reportable segments:  Banking,  International Banking, Riggs & Company, Treasury
and Other.  The Banking segment  provides  traditional  banking services such as
lending and deposit taking to retail,  corporate and commercial  customers.  The
International Banking segment includes the Corporation's Washington,  D.C. based
embassy-banking  business and the London-based  banking  subsidiary,  Riggs Bank
Europe  Limited.  The Riggs & Company  segment is a division that provides trust
and  investment  management  services to a broad  customer  base.  The  Treasury
segment  is  responsible  for  asset and  liability  management  throughout  our
company.  "Other" consists of our unallocated parent company income and expense,
net  interest  income  from  unallocated   equity  and  foreclosed  real  estate
activities.

We evaluate  segment  performance  based on net income before taxes and minority
interest.  The accounting policies of the segments are substantially the same as
those described in the summary of significant  accounting  policies.  We account
for intercompany transactions as if the transactions were to third parties under
market conditions. Overhead and support expenses are allocated to each operating
segment based on number of employees,  service usage and other factors  relevant
to the expense incurred.

Reconciliations  are  provided  from  the  segment  totals  to our  consolidated
financial statements.  The reconciliations of noninterest income and noninterest
expense offset as these items result from intercompany  transactions.  For years
in which we have  either no  provision  for loan  losses or a  reduction  to the
reserve  for loan  losses,  an  allocation  of loan loss is not  provided to the
segments.  The reconciliation of total average assets represents the elimination
of intercompany transactions.

NOTE 6. NEW FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS


SFAS No. 133,  "Accounting for Derivative  Instruments and Hedging  Activities,"
was issued in June  1998.  SFAS No.  133 will  require  us to record  derivative
instruments, such as interest-rate swap agreements on the Consolidated Statement
of  Condition  as assets or  liabilities,  measured at fair value.  Currently we
treat such  instruments as  off-balance-sheet  items.  Gains or losses resulting
from changes in the values of those derivatives would be accounted for depending
on the specific use of each  derivative  instrument and whether it qualifies for
hedge  accounting  treatment as stated in the standard.  SFAS No. 137, issued in
June 1999,  deferred the effective  date for  implementation  of SFAS No. 133 to
January  1,  2001.  We  do  not   anticipate   any  material   impact  from  the
implementation of SFAS No. 133.

NOTE 7. OTHER EVENTS

On June 16, 1999, we filed a  registration  statement  with the  Securities  and
Exchange  Commission  to issue $200  million of  variable  rate Trust  Preferred
Securities.  On July 22, 1999,  because of market  volatility,  we announced our
decision  to  postpone  the  issuance.  On that  same  date,  we  completed  our
redemption of $125 million of 8.5% subordinated  notes due in 2006, at the price
of 104.25%, using general corporate funds to retire the debt. As a result of the
redemption, we recorded an extraordinary expense of $5.1 million, after tax.

RIGGS NATIONAL CORPORATION

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
               AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Results of Operations

We earned $7.2 million of net income for the third  quarter of 1999  compared to
$17.3  million  for the same  period a year ago.  Earnings  per share  were $.25
compared  to $.46 for the same  period in the  prior  year.  For the first  nine
months of 1999, we had net income of $24.5  million,  or $.84 per diluted share,
compared  with $47.5  million,  or $1.24 a share,  for the first nine  months of
1998.

Non-recurring items contributed  significantly to the quarterly and year-to-date
reductions  in net income.  During the current  quarter we recorded an after tax
extraordinary  expense of $5.1  million from the  redemption  of $125 million of
8.5%  subordinated  notes.  Our results in 1998 were improved by $8.2 million of
non-recurring  securities  gains in the  third  quarter  and  $15.0  million  in
securities gains for the first nine months of 1998. The extraordinary expense in
1999 was partially  offset by a $3.8 million gain from the sale of the corporate
aircraft  as the  aircraft  was  replaced  in the  current  quarter of 1999.  In
addition,  a reduction in net interest income due to our redemption of preferred
stock and  repurchase  of common  stock,  and a higher  income tax rate in 1999,
reduced net income in the current period.


NET INTEREST INCOME

Net  interest  income on a  tax-equivalent  basis (net  interest  income plus an
amount equal to the tax savings on tax-exempt interest) totaled $48.2 million in
the third  quarter of 1999,  decreasing  $1.3 million from the third  quarter of
1998. Net interest income on a  tax-equivalent  basis was $141.4 million for the
first nine months of 1999,  compared with $146.1  million for the same period in
1998. The decreases from the prior year's quarter and year-to-date  periods were
primarily  due to funds  expended  in  redeeming  Preferred  Stock in the fourth
quarter  of 1998 and  Common  Stock in both the  fourth  quarter of 1998 and the
first quarter of 1999,  partially  offset by a reduction in interest expense due
to the redemption of the $125 million in subordinated notes.

attributable to changes in rate/volume (change in rate multiplied by change in
volume) has been allocated  between rate and volume  variances based on the
percentage relationship of such variances to each other.  Income and rates are
computed on a  tax-equivalent  basis using a Federal income tax rate of 35% and
local tax rates as applicable.

NONINTEREST INCOME

Noninterest  income for the three months  ended  September  30, 1999,  excluding
securities  gains,  totaled $29.6 million,  an increase of $4.9 million from the
same period a year ago. This increase was mostly due to a $3.8 million gain from
the sale of the corporate aircraft,  which was replaced during the quarter,  and
increases in trust and  investment  advisory  income of $1.8 at Riggs & Company.
Riggs & Company is our private  client  services  division.  This  increase  was
partially offset by a decrease in other noninterest income.

For the first nine months of 1999, noninterest income excluding securities gains
totaled $78.1 million, an increase of $6.9 million from the first nine months of
1998. The increase in noninterest income for the nine month period was partially
due to the $3.8  million  gain  discussed  above and a 12% increase in trust and
investment advisory income of Riggs & Company, partially offset by a decrease of
$2.0 million in other noninterest income. This decrease was partly the result of
lower deposit  account and ATM fees, as consumers  move towards the use of debit
cards and the use of ATMs by non-Riggs customers declined.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

Noninterest  expense for the three  months  ended  September  30, 1999 was $51.6
million,  up 3% from the  $50.1  million  reported  for the three  months  ended
September 30, 1998.  For the nine months ended  September 30, 1999,  noninterest
expense was $152.0  million,  an increase of $7.4 million from the same period a
year ago.  The  increases  were due to added  personnel  costs  during the year,
partially  related  to  new  business   initiatives,   and  increases  in  other
noninterest expense,  such as increased data processing and advertising costs in
1999, and the addition of the International Financial Center in Washington, D.C.

decreasing  slightly  from the  December  31, 1998 total of $3.26  billion.  The
decrease in loans from December 31, 1998, was primarily  attributed to decreases
in  residential  mortgage  loans of  $38.7  million  and real  estate/commercial
construction  loans of $10.1 million,  partially  offset by an increase of $44.3
million in commercial and financial loans.

ASSET QUALITY

NONPERFORMING ASSETS

Nonperforming  assets,  which include  nonaccrual loans,  renegotiated loans and
other real estate owned (net of  reserves),  totaled  $53.5 million at September
30, 1999, a $22.1 million increase from the year-end 1998 total of $31.4 million
and a $49.8 million  increase from the September 30, 1998 total. The increase in
nonperforming  assets from both periods was mainly due to nonperforming loans in
which we have participated with other major banks. These credits include a $25.0
million loan to a commercial  real estate  financing  company that was placed on
nonaccrual in the fourth quarter of 1998. In addition, a $13.7 million loan to a
health  care  entity  and  a  $12.0   million  loan  to  a  computer   equipment
manufacturing and service company were placed on nonaccrual in the third quarter
of 1999. These three credits are considered  impaired.  Impaired loans including
the three credits  totaled  $52.0  million at September  30, 1999.  The assigned
reserve for loan losses for impaired  loans was $11.4  million at September  30,
1999.

PAST-DUE AND POTENTIAL PROBLEM LOANS

Past-due  loans  consist  of  residential  real  estate  loans,  commercial  and
industrial  loans,  and consumer loans that are in the process of collection and
that are accruing  interest.  Past-due loans  decreased $16.6 million during the
first nine months of 1999 to $8.6 million,  mostly due to repayment of a foreign
government overdraft of $15.8 million.  There were no potential problem loans at
September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998.  The $25.0  potential  problem loan at
September 30, 1998 was  reclassified as nonaccrual  during the fourth quarter of
1998.

               AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, CONTINUED

DEPOSITS

Deposits are our primary and most stable source of funds. Deposits totaled $4.09
billion at September  30, 1999,  decreasing  $55.8 million from the December 31,
1998 deposit total, and $74.1 million from September 30, 1998. The decrease from
the year-end  balance was due primarily to decreases in demand,  savings and NOW
deposit accounts.  Demand deposits  decreased by $90.9 million,  and savings and
NOW  accounts  by $90.3  million  from the  December  31, 1998  balances.  These
decreases  from year-end were  partially due to increases in sweep activity from
demand to money market  accounts.  Money market  account  balances  increased by
$89.3 million in total from  year-end.  The decrease from the September 30, 1998
balance was due  primarily to decreases  in time  deposits in both  domestic and
foreign offices of $174.6 million, partially offset by increases in money market
accounts of $84.0 million. The decrease in time deposits was primarily caused by
a decrease in large dollar certificates of deposits.


SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS AND LONG-TERM DEBT

Short-term  borrowings  increased  by  $411.8  million  from the  year-end  1998
balance, and $329.8 million from the September 30, 1998 balance. The increase in
short-term  borrowings from both periods was primarily  because we borrowed $400
million from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (FHLB), at an average rate of
4.99%. $300 million, callable by the FHLB in the year 2000, has a final maturity
of ten years.  Another  $100  million,  also  callable  next  year,  has a final
maturity of five years.  Short-term borrowings are an additional source of funds
that we have utilized to meet certain  asset/liability and daily cash management
objectives,  and are used to  generate  cash and  maintain  adequate  levels  of
liquidity.

The decrease in long-term debt was due to our redemption of $125 million of 8.5%
subordinated notes due in 2006, at the price of 104.25%. General corporate funds
were used to retire  the debt.  We  recorded  an  extraordinary  expense of $5.1
million, after tax, as a result of the redemption.

LIQUIDITY

We seek to  maintain  sufficient  liquidity  to meet the  needs  of  depositors,
borrowers  and  creditors at a reasonable  cost and without  undue stress on our
operations and those of our banking subsidiaries.  Our Asset/Liability Committee
actively  analyzes and manages liquidity in coordination with other areas of the
organization  (see  "Sensitivity  to Market  Risk").  At September 30, 1999, our
liquid assets, on a consolidated  basis,  which include cash and due from banks,
Government  obligations  and  other  securities,  federal  funds  sold,  reverse
repurchase  agreements  and time deposits at other banks,  totaled $2.07 billion
(36% of total  assets).  This  compares with $1.90 billion (34%) at December 31,
1998,  and $2.07  billion  (36%) at September  30, 1998.  At September 30, 1999,
$887.4  million  of our  assets  were  pledged  to  secure  deposits  and  other
borrowings.  This compares with pledged assets of $727.4 million at December 31,
1998, and $865.0 million at September 30, 1998.

Our  liquidity  position is maintained by a stable source of funds from our core
deposit relationships. We have other sources of funds, such as short-term credit
lines  available  from  several  Federal  Home Loan  Banks  and other  financial
institutions.  In  addition,  we have a line of  credit  available  through  our
membership in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (FHLB Atlanta). At September
30, 1999, December 31, 1998, and September 30, 1998, short-term credit lines and
the FHLB Atlanta line of credit available totaled  approximately  $1.40 billion,
$1.50 billion,  and $1.09 billion,  respectively.  Of this availability,  $431.9
million,  $31.7 million,  and $122.4  million were  outstanding at September 30,
1999, December 31, 1998, and September 30, 1998.

STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY AND REGULATORY CAPITAL

Total stockholders'  equity at September 30, 1999 was $343.1 million, a decrease
of $49.6  million from year-end  1998.  The decrease from year-end was primarily
the result of repurchases of Common Stock in the first quarter of 1999, totaling
2,125,000  shares  at a cost of $42.2  million,  and an  unrealized  loss in our
securities  portfolio of $29.1 million,  after tax. For more  information on our
securities portfolio,  see the discussion under "Securities" in the Management's
Discussion and Analysis of this Form 10-Q.

Total stockholders' equity decreased $156.1 million from September 30, 1998. The
decrease year to year was primarily the result of the  redemption of Riggs' $100
million  10.75%  Noncumulative  Perpetual  Preferred  Stock on  October 1, 1998,
repurchases of Common Stock, and unrealized losses in our securities  portfolio.
The  repurchases of Common Stock totaled 275,000 shares in the fourth quarter of
1998 and  2,125,000  shares in the first  quarter of 1999, at a cost of $5.4 and
$42.2 million,  respectively.  The unrealized losses in the securities portfolio
totaled $27.9 million, after tax, at September 30, 1999.

Book value per common  share was $12.12 as of  September  30,  1999  compared to
$12.93 at year-end  1998 and $13.18 at  September  30, 1998.  Following  are our

               AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, CONTINUED


YEAR 2000 READINESS DISCLOSURE

GENERAL
Advances  and  changes  in  technology  can  have a  significant  impact  on our
business.  Financial  institutions are dependent on information systems and also
have  many  external  interdependencies  with  other  companies.  Many  computer
programs  were  designed to recognize  calendar  years by their last two digits.
Calculations  performed  using  these  digits may not work  properly  with dates
beginning in the Year 2000 and beyond.  The Year 2000 issue  creates risk for us
from unforeseen  problems in our computer systems and from Year 2000 issues with
our vendors, service providers and customers.

APPROACH AND RISKS
We began to  identify  the  risks  associated  with  the Year  2000 in 1995.  We
established a corporate  oversight  structure to ensure timely risk assessments,
remediation plans, systems testing,  conversions,  and centralized management of
the  project.  The  structure  of the effort  entails a number of  groups,  each
addressing  a different  aspect of the project,  and  reporting to the Year 2000
Program  Manager.  Oversight of the entire project is performed by the Year 2000
Advisory  Group.  This is a  management  committee  appointed  by the  Board  of
Directors that reports to the Board on a quarterly basis.

We determined that an enterprise-wide  business risk-assessment approach is most
appropriate for addressing and remediating Year 2000 problems.  This included an
assessment of the  information  technology  resources of each of our  functional
areas,  as well as separate  assessments of information  technology  vendors and
suppliers, mainframe applications, third party suppliers, alternative platforms,
and non-information technology and facilities risks.

In addition to systems-related  risks, we undertook a review of risks created by
potential business interruptions suffered by our major business  counterparties,
both  domestic and foreign.  We divided our business  counterparties  into three
broad   categories:   Funds  Takers  (primarily   borrowers),   Funds  Providers
(depositors  and other funding  sources) and Capital Markets  partners  (trading
counterparties  and fiduciary  relationships).  For those business partners that
would have a significant  impact on our liquidity,  income,  or capital  markets
activities,  should they encounter  significant business interruption due to the
Year 2000, we have worked with them to assess their  readiness  and  contingency
plans for recovering from an abrupt interruption.

After the  assessment  phase,  Year 2000  efforts  focused  on  remediation  and
verification.  We developed  detailed action plans to address mainframe systems,
third party servicers,  embedded  technology and facilities and  non-information
technology issues. For purchased systems and software and third party servicers,
the  Year  2000  efforts  involved  contacting  the  vendors  or  suppliers  and
determining  the Year 2000  status of the  various  systems  and of the plans to
bring the systems into compliance.  For in-house systems,  the Year 2000 efforts
included correction of the programs to ensure proper data processing. Our action
plans also included testing  mission-critical  systems to verify the remediation
efforts.  We record and track  information to keep ourselves aware of the status
of our company's information technology systems. The Program Manager worked with
our functional areas to develop  contingency  plans for a variety of situations,
such as the failure of a vendor to  remediate  Year 2000 issues by a  particular
date or a system not being available for processing.

Inherent  in the Year 2000,  the  failure to  correct a material  problem  could
result in an interruption  in or failure of certain  business  operations.  Year
2000 risks and uncertainties  include  increased credit losses,  service delays,
funding delays,  counterparty failures,  inaccurate information processing,  ATM
failures,  and problems with international  accounts.  There can be no assurance
that  the  Year  2000  issue  will not have a  material  adverse  impact  on our
financial  position,  results of operations,  or  relationships  with customers,
vendors, or others.

STATE OF READINESS
While there is general uncertainty inherent in the Year 2000 problem,  resulting
in part  from the  uncertainty  of the  readiness  of third  party  vendors  and
customers,  our progress toward completing the  enterprise-wide  risk assessment
and remediating  Year 2000 problems is on target.  We completed  remediation and
verification  of all mission  critical  internal  systems by December  31, 1998.
Mission-critical  third party service providers  completed their remediations by
December 31, 1998,  and we  substantially  completed our  verification  of these
systems at March 31,  1999.  As of  September  30,  1999,  all  mission-critical
systems have been assessed,  remediated,  and tested, and are now in use serving
our  clients.  This  is  in  accordance  with  guidelines  established  by  Bank
regulatory  authorities.  Verification  of non-mission  critical system changes,
including non-information  technology issues, will be performed throughout 1999.
We  presently  believe  that the Year  2000  issue  will not  cause  significant
operational problems.

COSTS
We estimate the total cost of the Year 2000 project will be  approximately  $7.0
million, with $5.9 million expended to date as of September 30, 1999. The future
cost of completing  the Year 2000 project is estimated to be $1.1  million.  The
total amount  expended for the first nine months of 1999 was $2.2  million.  The
most significant  components of the $7.0 million total estimated cost consist of
65% for personnel costs, including consultants and special Year 2000 incentives,
and 24% for data processing  services.  We do not separately  track all internal
costs  incurred for the Year 2000 project.  Internal costs are  principally  the
payroll-related costs for the information systems group.

The  Year  2000  expense  represents  approximately  10%  of  our  total  actual
information  technology  expenditures  for the first nine months of 1999.  Other
significant or critical  non-Year 2000 information  technology  efforts have not
been materially delayed or impacted by Year 2000 initiatives.

CONTINGENCY PLANS
To prepare for the possibility that certain  information  systems or third party
vendors and servicers  will not be Year 2000  compliant,  we developed  detailed
contingency plans. We have two types of contingency plans, remediation plans and
business resumption plans.

The remediation  plans addressed  those  information  systems we have determined
were not Year 2000  compliant  through our testing.  These plans  described  and
scheduled alternative provisions,  including,  if necessary,  the replacement of
vendors or third party servicers to ensure compliance. The remediation plans are
complete; however, implementation of these plans is not expected to be necessary
because of our state of readiness.

The business  resumption  plans address how we will  continue  operations in the
event a Year 2000 related interruption occurs. The business resumption plans for
our  mission-critical  systems  and  third-party  servicers  were  substantially
completed as of June 30, 1999.  These plans in some cases provide for the manual
processing  of certain  normal bank  functions.  Manual  processing  would cause
delays,  which could disrupt the normal  business  activities of our company and
our customers.  While  implementation  of the business  resumption  plans is not
expected  to be  necessary,  it will  ensure  we have  the  ability  to  process
transactions  and  serve our  customers  under  circumstances  where a Year 2000
problem actually occurs.



The discussion of our efforts and  expectations  related to Year 2000 compliance
are  forward-looking  statements  which should be read in  conjunction  with our
disclosures  under the "Safe  Harbor"  provisions as discussed in this Form 10-Q
following Item 3. Our ability to achieve Year 2000 compliance and the associated
costs  could be  adversely  impacted  by,  among  other  things,  the Year  2000
readiness of third party service providers,  the availability of programming and
verification  resources,  vendors' ability to modify proprietary  software,  and
problems identified in the ongoing project plan.

risk has a material  impact on our  financial  performance,  and as such we have
established the Asset/Liability Committee ("ALCO") to manage interest-rate risk.
The role of this committee is to prudently manage the asset/liability mix of our
company to provide a stable net interest margin while maintaining  liquidity and
capital.  This  entails the  management  of the  overall  risk of the company in
conjunction  with the acquisition and deployment of funds based upon ALCO's view
of both current and prospective market and economic conditions.

We manage our interest-rate  risk through the use of an income simulation model,
which  forecasts  the impact on net  interest  income of a variety of  different
interest rate  scenarios.  A "most likely"  interest rate scenario is forecasted
based upon an analysis of current market conditions and expectations.  The model
then evaluates the impact on net interest  income of rates moving  significantly
higher or lower than the "most  likely"  scenario.  The results are  compared to
risk  tolerance  limits  set by  corporate  policy.  The  model's  results as of
September 30, 1999 and 1998 are shown in the following  tables.  Current  policy
establishes  limits for possible  changes in net  interest  income for 12 and 36
month horizons.  The interest rate scenarios  monitored by ALCO are based upon a
100 basis point (1%) gradual  increase or decrease in rates over a 12-month time
period and a 300 basis point (3%)  gradual  increase or decrease in rates over a
36-month time period.

(1)-Key Assumptions:
Assumptions with respect to the model's projections of the effect of changes in
interest rates on Net Interest Income include:
1. Target  balances for various  asset and  liability  classes,  which are
solicited  from the  management of the various units of the Corporation.
2. Interest rate scenarios  which are generated by ALCO for the "most likely"
scenario and are dictated by policy for the  alternative scenarios.
3. Spread  relationships  between various interest rate indices,  which are
generated by the analysis of historical  relationships  and ALCO consensus.
4. Assumptions  about the effect of embedded options and prepayment  speeds:
instruments that are callable are assumed to be called at the first opportunity
if an interest rate scenario  makes it  advantageous  for the owner of the call
to do so.  Prepayment  assumptions  for mortgage products are derived from
accepted industry sources.
5. Reinvestment  rates for funds replacing assets or liabilities that are
assumed (through early withdrawal,  prepayment,  calls, etc.) to run off the
balance sheet, which are generated by the spread relationships.
6.  Maturity  strategies  with  respect  to assets  and  liabilities,  which are
solicited from the management of the various units of the Corporation.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK,
               CONTINUED


At September  30,  1999,  the  forecasted  impact of rates rising or falling 100
basis points versus the "most likely" scenario over a 12-month time period was a
change in net interest  income not exceeding 3%. For a 300 basis point  movement
in rates versus the "most likely" scenario over a 36-month period, the impact on
net  interest  income  did not exceed 4%.  The  results  of the  simulation  for
September 30, 1999 indicated  that we were  liability  sensitive over the 12 and
36-month time  horizons.  We were within  guidelines  for interest  rates moving
significantly in either direction.

In managing our interest-rate risk, ALCO uses financial derivative  instruments,
such as interest-rate swaps. Financial derivatives are employed to assist in the
management and/or reduction of our interest-rate risk, and can effectively alter
the sensitivity of segments of the statement of condition for specified  periods
of time. All of these derivative  instruments are considered  off-balance-sheet,
as they do not materially  affect the level of our assets or liabilities.  Along
with financial  derivative  instruments,  the income  simulation  model includes
short-term financial instruments,  investment  securities,  loans, deposits, and
other  borrowings.  Interest-rate  risk management  strategies are discussed and
approved by ALCO prior to implementation.

We find  that  the  methodologies  previously  discussed  provide  a  meaningful
representation of our interest-rate and market risk sensitivity,  though factors
other  than  changes  in the  interest  rate  environment,  such  as  levels  of
non-earning assets, and changes in the composition of earning assets, may affect
net interest income. We believe our current  interest-rate  sensitivity level is
appropriate, considering our economic outlook and conservative approach taken in
the review and monitoring of our sensitivity position.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

Outstanding  commitments  and contingent  liabilities  that do not appear in the
consolidated  financial  statements at September 30, 1999 and 1998, and December
31, 1998 are detailed in the table below.  At December 31, 1998,  our  financial
derivative  instruments  included a $25 million  (notional amount) interest rate
swap,  which  converted  a portion of the fixed rate real estate  mortgage  loan
portfolio into a floating rate asset. This swap matured in January 1999.

ARTICLE 3.        INSPECTION; CLOSING; DELIVERY OF AIRCRAFT, ETC.

3.1      Inspection.

          (a)  Prior to closing,  Seller shall  provide the Buyer full access to
               the Aircraft and the records  (including  without  limitation the
               Aircraft   Documents)   relating   thereto  for  the  purpose  of
               inspection  (the  "Inspection")  by Buyer and/or the Buyer's duly
               authorized technical representatives;  in order to determine that
               each  item  of  the  Aircraft  is  acceptable  to  Buyer  and  in
               accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.  Buyer may have
               its authorized  representatives on the Aircraft for its flight to
               the Inspection  Facility.  The  Inspection  shall be conducted at
               Buyer's expense, and may include such tests and investigations as
               Buyer may  consider  under the  circumstances  to be necessary to
               satisfy  itself that the general  condition  of the  Aircraft and
               Aircraft   Documents  is  satisfactory   and  complies  with  the
               provisions of this Agreement.  The foregoing shall not affect any
               warranty claim of Buyer under the terms of this Agreement.  Prior
               to and as part of the  Inspection,  Buyer  may  conduct  test and
               acceptance  flights and shall bear the cost of any fuel  utilized
               in connection therewith.
          (b)  Within two (2) Business Days (defined as any weekday which is not
               a bank  holiday in Buyer's  principal  place of  business)  after
               conclusion of the Inspection or, Buyer's  determination  that the
               Aircraft is  satisfactory,  whichever  first occurs,  Buyer shall
               execute and deliver to Seller Exhibit A (the "Aircraft Inspection
               Report") reporting in detail any airworthy items, or deficiencies
               which do not meet the delivery  requirement  of Article 5 herein,
               whereupon the Seller shall, promptly and expeditiously  following
               receipt of such report from Buyer, remedy such deficiencies. Time
               is of the essence in the  commencement  and  completion of repair
               work to resolve any  deficiencies.  Buyer may conduct  such tests
               and investigations as it deems reasonably  necessary,  to confirm
               that Seller has remedied all such deficiencies.

          (c)  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  if at  any  time  prior  to the
               Closing  Time (as  defined in Section  3.2(c)),  the  Aircraft is
               destroyed  or  suffers   substantial  damage  which,  in  Buyer's
               reasonable  opinion,  renders it of lower economic value than the
               Purchase  Price,  Buyer  shall have the right to  terminate  this
               Agreement  upon  written  notice  from  Buyer to  Seller  and the
               parties  shall  have no  further  obligation  to each  other with

Acceptance at GULFSTREAM's plant in Savannah,  Georgia on or about the Scheduled
Preliminary  Acceptance Date. GULFSTREAM shall give BUYER not less than five (5)
days advance written notice of the actual tender date at which time the Aircraft
shall have a valid  Certificate of Airworthiness  and be available for immediate
flight  testing.  Within  fifteen (15) days of receipt of  GULFSTREAM's  notice,
BUYER, at its sole discretion,  shall elect either to inspect the Green Aircraft
per the  procedures  set forth  below or accept the  Aircraft  for  purposes  of
identifying  it as the Aircraft to be  Outfitted  under this  Agreement  without
inspection  at this time by executing a Memorandum  of  Preliminary  Acceptance,
reserving all BUYER's rights to further inspections.

B. If BUYER  elects to  inspect  the  Aircraft  under  Section  2.1A,  the Green
Aircraft  shall be made  available for inspection and initial flight test of not
more than two (2) hours duration participated in by not more than two (2) of the
BUYER's   representatives   to  confirm  that  the  Green   Aircraft  meets  its
requirements  as  identified  in this  Agreement  and is acceptable to BUYER for
further  Outfitting.  Following the  completion of this initial  flight test and
correction  of  Discrepancies,  if any,  BUYER  shall  execute a  Memorandum  of
Preliminary  Acceptance  which may list  deferred  Discrepancies,  but otherwise
reserves  BUYER's rights to require that the identified  Aircraft meet the terms
of this Agreement at the Delivery Time.

C. The BUYER, at its sole election,  may require  GULFSTREAM to deliver to BUYER
an FAA Bill of Sale or a  Warranty  Bill of Sale at the  Preliminary  Acceptance
Time if all current payment obligations under Addendum I have been met.

Section 2.2                Final Delivery and Acceptance

A.  Following the  completion  of the  Outfitting,  GULFSTREAM  shall tender the
Aircraft  to BUYER for final  inspection  and flight  testing at the  Completion
Facility  and  delivery at the  Completion  Facility  on or about the  Scheduled

flight tested as appropriate.

B. Upon the completion of the inspection and flight tests reasonably required by
BUYER to  confirm  that the  Aircraft  meets the terms  and  conditions  of this
Agreement and is free of Discrepancies,  the BUYER shall execute a Memorandum of
Delivery.  Upon BUYER's  execution of the  Memorandum  of Delivery,  BUYER shall
remit the balance of the Total  Purchase  Price as determined  under Addendum I,
and GULFSTREAM  shall deliver  possession of the Aircraft to BUYER together with
the Bills of Sale  required  under this  Agreement to the extent not  previously

Section 2.3 Upon  delivery by GULFSTREAM to BUYER of a Bill of Sale under either
Section 2.1 or 2.2, all risks of loss or damage to the  Aircraft  shall be borne
by BUYER,  and further,  title to the  Aircraft  shall pass from  GULFSTREAM  to
BUYER.  Upon BUYER's  execution of the  Memorandum of Delivery and final payment
under Addendum I, title to all Outfitting  shall pass to BUYER free and clear of
any security interest or other lien or encumbrance  liens.  GULFSTREAM  warrants
that the  transfer of title in the  Aircraft to BUYER under this  Section  shall
vest full title in BUYER free and clear of any  security  interest or other lien
or encumbrance against the Aircraft.

Section 2.4 If BUYER does not meet its  obligations  to execute a Memorandum  of
Preliminary  Acceptance,  inspect  or flight  test the  Aircraft,  or  execute a
Memorandum of Delivery,  then (1) any unpaid balance of the Total Purchase Price
as  determined  under  Addendum I shall become due and payable,  (2) all risk of
loss or damage  to the  Aircraft  shall  thereafter  be borne by BUYER,  and (3)
GULFSTREAM  shall provide the Aircraft with suitable outside storage and routine
maintenance at the expense of BUYER.  Further,  upon ten (10) days prior written
notice to  BUYER,  GULFSTREAM  may  terminate  this  Agreement  no  sooner  than

Section 9.2.

Section  2.5 All fuel costs and pilot  expenses  associated  with  flight  tests
conducted  under this Article 2 shall be at the expense of GULFSTREAM.  All fuel
costs and pilot  expenses  associated  with ferry  flights  conducted  after the
Preliminary Acceptance Time shall be at the expense of BUYER.

Section 2.6 If after the Delivery Time,  the Aircraft  remains in or is returned
to GULFSTREAM's care,  custody,  or control for any purpose,  BUYER shall retain
risk of loss and hereby  agrees to waive on behalf of itself  and its  insurance
carrier(s)  any  aircraft  hull or  property  claim,  by way of  subrogation  or
otherwise,  against  GULFSTREAM  for damages to or loss of the Aircraft while in
flight arising out of or by reason of such care, custody, or control,  including
claims that such damages or loss are the result of GULFSTREAM's  own negligence.
Nothing  in this  Section  2.6  shall be  deemed to  release  GULFSTREAM  of its
obligations for third parties claims for personal  injuries or deaths alleged to
be caused by GULFSTREAM's negligence.

defend  against  the  imposition  of any such  taxes  which it is or may be held
obligated by law to pay.  GULFSTREAM shall notify BUYER of any such tax that any
governmental  authority  is  seeking to collect  from  GULFSTREAM  and BUYER may
assume the  defense  thereof  at its sole  expense.  If BUYER  does not  defend,
GULFSTREAM  may pay the asserted  tax and BUYER shall  thereupon be obligated to
reimburse  GULFSTREAM for said tax and all reasonable  expenses related thereto.
With  respect to sales and use tax,  BUYER agrees to either  provide  GULFSTREAM
with a sales and use tax certificate of exemption in the form attached hereto as
Appendix  A at the  Delivery  Time or if no  sales  and use tax  certificate  of
exemption is provided to GULFSTREAM to pay GULFSTREAM the appropriate  sales and
use taxes or assessments prior to the Delivery Time.

particular purpose) related to any modifications, repairs, replacement parts, or
service  change kits which may hereafter be furnished by GULFSTREAM to BUYER for
use on the Aircraft either pursuant to this Article 6 or otherwise.

B Except for the obligations  expressly  undertaken by GULFSTREAM herein,  BUYER
hereby waives and releases all rights,  claims, and remedies with respect to any

and  remedies  with  respect to any claims for the  recovery of the value of the
Aircraft  or for  loss  of use of the  Aircraft  with  respect  to any  and  all
warranties  expressed  (including  those provided in this Article 6), implied or

Section 6.10      Assignment
The warranties set forth in this Article 6 shall run to BUYER, its
successors,  assigns,  and to all  persons  whom  title to the  Aircraft  may be

contained within this Article 6 and performs all obligations of BUYER hereunder.

Section 6.11      Modification
No agreement or  understanding  varying or extending  these  warranties  will be
binding  upon  GULFSTREAM  unless  in  writing,  signed  by  a  duly  authorized

ARTICLE 7         CHANGES

Section 7.1 Prior to the Delivery Time, GULFSTREAM shall have the right, without
the prior written  consent of BUYER,  to make changes in the Aircraft or Product
Specification and to substitute equivalent  equipment,  accessories or materials
in the Aircraft  where such  changes or  substitutions  are deemed  necessary by
GULFSTREAM  to prevent  delays in  manufacture  or  delivery  or to improve  the
performance, producibility, stability, control, utility, safety, pilot workload,
maintenance,  or  appearance  of the  Aircraft  provided  that such  changes  or
substitutions shall not adversely affect the Delivery Time or the performance of
the Aircraft. All costs of any such changes shall be borne by GULFSTREAM.

Section 7.2 GULFSTREAM  will make any changes in the Aircraft which are required
by applicable law or  interpretation  thereof by the FAA established  after the
execution  date of  this  Agreement  and  before  the  Delivery  time to  permit
GULFSTREAM to obtain the appropriate Certificate of Airworthiness as referred to
in Section 2.1. GULFSTREAM will give notice to BUYER upon obtaining knowledge of
such requirement.  BUYER shall remit to GULFSTREAM at the Delivery Time one-half
of the amount of the  reasonable  costs  incurred  by  GULFSTREAM  to effect the
change,  or give  GULFSTREAM  notice prior to the Delivery Time of its intention
not to remit its portion of such costs.  Upon receiving  such notice  GULFSTREAM
may elect to either  bear all costs  arising  under this  Section  and  complete
performance  under this  Agreement or terminate  this  Agreement by giving BUYER
prompt notice of such termination. If GULFSTREAM terminates this Agreement under
this Section,  GULFSTREAM shall return to BUYER all payments (without  interest)
previously made by BUYER which are applicable to the Total Purchase Price of the
Aircraft  and  neither  party  shall  have any  further  liability  to the other
resulting from this Agreement.

ARTICLE 8          EXCUSABLE DELAYS

Section 8.1  GULFSTREAM  shall not be charged with any  liability for failure or
delay in the  performance  of this Agreement when the failure or delay is due to
causes  beyond the  reasonable  control of  GULFSTREAM  or without  its fault or
negligence.  Such causes  include  but are not  limited  to: Acts of God;  force
majeure; any act of government,  including FAA certification delays or delays in
relevant non-U.S.,  government aviation certification;  delay in transportation;
strikes or labor trouble causing  cessation,  slow-down or interruption of work;
or the  inability  after due and  timely  diligence  of  GULFSTREAM  to  procure
materials,  accessories,  equipment, or parts. The occurrence of such a cause of
GULFSTREAM's  failure or delay shall extend the  Scheduled  Delivery Date by the
period of time  required for  GULFSTREAM  to correct the cause of the failure or
delay by using its best  efforts  to  eliminate  such cause or to  overcome  the
effect thereof.  However, if the period of time required for correction shall be
more than six (6) months,  either party may terminate  this  Agreement by giving
written  notice to the other party within a fifteen (15) day period  immediately
following  such six (6) month period.  In the event of a termination  under this
Section  8.1,  or if the  cause of the  failure  or  delay is such as to  render
performance impossible, GULFSTREAM shall return to BUYER all payments previously
made by BUYER  (without  interest)  which are  applicable to the Total  Purchase
Price of the Aircraft and neither party shall have any further  liability to the
other, resulting from this Agreement.

         provided,  however,  that a delay of less than three (3) months  beyond
         the  Scheduled  Delivery  Date  shall not be deemed to be a default  or
         breach within the meaning of this paragraph B unless  GULFSTREAM  fails
         to use  reasonable  efforts  to remove  the  causes of the delay and to
         resume  performance of this Agreement with dispatch when such cases are

                  later than execution of this Agreement and attached as Exhibit
                  A. Any  modification to the Completion  Specification  will be
                  treated  as a Work  Change  Request  (WCR)  with  pricing  and

                  When the Aircraft completes its initial production schedule it

                  conclusion   of   the   work   defined   in   the   Completion
                  Specification,  the Aircraft is referred to as the  "Outfitted
                  Aircraft."  When  necessary in the Agreement to  differentiate
                  between the "Green  Aircraft"  and the  "Outfitted  Aircraft,"
                  these  terms  will  be  used.  Upon  definition  of  the  work
                  requirements specified in the Completion  Specification,  such

                  event of a conflict  between the above-listed  documents,  the
                  more  specific  shall  control the more general one,  provided
                  that in all cases  this  Agreement  shall  ultimately  control
                  unless otherwise expressly provided herein.

                           whichever occurs first. At that time, GULFSTREAM will
                           refund all or a portion of the  Refundable  Deposit

                           complete the  transaction  as  contemplated  by
                           Section 8, then the  Refundable  Deposit will be

                           as a Refundable  Deposit will be deemed a progress
                           payment on account of the Aircraft and become a final
                           payment upon the execution by BUYER of the Memorandum

                  like-kind  and  qualifying  use within the  meaning of Section
                  1031 of the Internal Revenue code of 1986, as amended, and the
                  Treasury  Regulations  promulgated  thereunder,   for  all  of
                  GULFSTREAM's right, title, and interest in the Aircraft. BUYER
                  expressly reserves the right to assign its rights, but not its
                  obligations, hereunder to a Qualified Intermediary as provided
                  in IRC Reg.  1.1031(k)-1(g)(4)  on or before the Closing Date.

                  incurs no  additional  cost or  expense  and is held  harmless
                  against  any  liability   arising   because  of  the  intended
                  like-kind  exchange,  or any  challenge  to or failure of this
                  transaction to qualify for such  treatment.  The conclusion of
                  such like-kind exchange shall not be a condition  precedent to
                  the conclusion of this Sales Agreement,  the acceptance of the
                  Aircraft, or payment for the Aircraft.

Section 9         CONFIDENTIALITY

                              EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT


         This Employment Agreement ("Agreement") effective as of the 15th day of
July, 1999, by and between RIGGS NATIONAL CORPORATION(the  "Company") and JOE L.
ALLBRITTON (the "Executive").
         WHEREAS, the Executive has been the Chief Executive Officer of the
Company since 1982;
         WHEREAS,  the Board of Directors of the Company has determined  that it
is  important  to the  continued  success  of the  Company  to  insure  that the
Executive continue as the Chief Executive Office of the Company for at least the
next five (5) years;
         WHEREAS, the Executive  voluntarily reduced his compensation in 1992 in
order to improve the  profitability of the Company and to assist it in returning
to a healthy and profitable  company with the reasonable  expectation  that once
the Company returned to historic profitability levels, his compensation would be
increased to historic levels and some recognition  would be given to the fact of
his voluntary reduction ; and
         WHEREAS,  the  Board  of  Directors  has  determined  that now that the
Company  has earned  record  profits  that it is  appropriate  to  increase  the
Executive's compensation to levels consistent with his historic compensation and
for the Company to recognize the personal sacrifice of the Executive in reducing
his compensation in order to benefit the Company and its shareholders;
         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter
set forth, the parties agree as follows:
1.       Employment, Term and Duties.
1.1.     Employment.  The Company  hereby  employs the  Executive  and the
Executive  hereby  accepts  employment by the Company on the terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement.

<PAGE>


1.2. Term. The Executive's employment under this Agreement shall commence on the
date hereof (the "Effective  Date") and shall terminate on July 15, 2004, unless
earlier  terminated  as provided in Section 3 below (the  "Term")
1.3.  Duties.
During the Term, the Executive shall serve as the Chief Executive Officer of the
Company, with such customary duties and responsibilities as are incident to said
positions,  including such authority,  duties, and responsibilities as set forth
with respect to such office in the Company's  articles and bylaws. The Executive
agrees to devote at least the same amount of attention  and time to the business
and affairs of the Company  and to the duties and  responsibilities  assigned to
the Executive as he has in the past and will use his reasonable  best efforts to
perform  faithfully  and  effectively  such  duties  and  responsibilities.
2.   Compensation  and Other Benefits
2.1. Base  Compensation.  As  compensation  for services  rendered  during the
Term,  the Company  shall pay to the Executive an annual salary of $800,000
(the "Base Salary"). The Compensation Committee of the Board of  Directors  of
the Company (the  "Committee")  shall  conduct an annual review of the Base
Salary at such time or times as the  Committee  reviews  the annual compensation
of its executives in general,  and, if approved by the Board of Directors,  the
Executive shall be entitled to an increase in the Base Salary as is in
accordance with the then prevailing  policy of the Company with respect to
executive  compensation  in general;  provided,  that such salary may not be
reduced at any time.  The Base Salary  shall be payable in  accordance  with the
payroll  policies  of the  Company as from time to time in effect.
2.2.  Annual Performance Bonus.

<PAGE>


(a) In addition to the Base salary,  the  Executive  shall be eligible to
receive,  for each  calendar  year or portion  thereof occurring  during the
Term, an annual  performance  bonus (the "Annual Bonus") in an amount equal to
one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Executive's Base Salary for such
calendar year or portion  thereof;  provided that the bonus for the year ending
December  31, 1999 shall be equal to 150% of the  Executive's  Base Salary for
an entire  year.  The amount of any such Annual Bonus shall be based upon the
performance  of the Company and  determined  in  accordance  with the
procedures  set forth on Exhibit A  hereto.  The Annual Bonus shall be paid to
the  Executive at such time or times as is in  accordance  with the then
prevailing policy of the Company relating to incentive compensation payments.

(b) No later than the next annual meeting of  shareholders  of the  Company,
the  Company  shall  submit  to  its  shareholders  (the "Shareholders")  for
approval,  with a  recommendation  of the Board of Directors of the Company of
such approval,  an executive incentive plan which, among other things, covers
the Annual Bonus provided for in this Agreement.  If the Company submits such an
executive  incentive plan to the  Shareholders  in accordance  herewith and it
is not so approved by the Shareholders,  the Company shall not be obligated to
pay the Annual Bonus for any year after  calender  year 1999 but shall be
obligated to pay the Annual Bonus, if earned, for calender year 1999. If the
Company fails to submit such executive  incentive plan to the Shareholders with
such a  recommendation  by the Board of  Directors  by the next  annual
meeting of  shareholders  of the  Company,  the  Company  shall  remain
obligated  to pay the Annual  Bonuses as and when they become due under the
terms of subsection  (a) of this Section 2.2. If the Company is not obligated
to pay the  Annual  Bonus as a result of the  failure of the Shareholders to
approve such executive  incentive plan, the Company and the  Executive  shall
attempt  for a period  of 30 days to agree  upon another form or method of
compensation  to the Executive to adjust for the loss of the opportunity to earn
the Annual Bonuses.  If the Company and the Executive, each in their sole and
absolute discretion,  can not agree on such another form or method of
compensation,  the  Executive, upon  30  days  written  notice  to the  Company,
may  terminate  this Agreement.  In the event of such  termination,  the
Executive  shall be entitled  to  a  lump  sum  payment  of  one  year's  Base
Salary  and continuation of all employee benefits for a period of one year.

<PAGE>


2.3.  Participation  in Employee Benefit Plans. The Company agrees to permit the
Executive  during the Term to  participate  in any group  life,  hospitalization
and/or  disability  insurance  plan,  health  program,   supplemental  executive
retirement plan,  nonqualified  compensation plan, pension and/or savings plans,
long-term  incentive  plan,  receive  "fringe  benefits,"  club  memberships and
automobile allowance, and participate in such other benefit plans or programs of
the  Company  (collectively  "Benefits")  subject  to the  generally  applicable
eligibility  requirements relating to such Benefits.  The Company also agrees to
continue to provide to the Executive  substantially the same benefits,  programs
and  privileges  which it currently  provides to the  Executive and to implement
such other  benefit  plans (the  "Other  Benefit  Plans") for the benefit of the
Executive  to the extent the Company  offers its  comparable  senior  executives
benefits that are not currently offered by the Company.  The Company also agrees
to provide life insurance to the Executive  during the Term at least  equivalent
to the life  insurance  coverage  provided to the  Executive  under the existing
split dollar insurance maintained by the Company.

<PAGE>


2.4. General Business Expenses. The Company shall pay or reimburse the Executive
for all expenses  that are incurred by the Executive in the  performance  of the
Executive's  duties under this Agreement in accordance  with its regular expense
reimbursement policies and procedures upon presentation of such documentation as
the Company customarily requires of its executive employees prior to making such
payments or reimbursements.
2.5. Vacation. During the Term, the Executive shall be entitled to six (6) weeks
of vacation per year.  The  Executive  shall not be permitted to accumulate and
carryover  unused  vacation time or pay from year to year except to the extent
permitted in accordance  with the Company's  vacation policy for senior
executives.
2.6. Tax Withholding.  All payments required to be made to the Executive  shall
be reduced by any amount required to be deducted or withheld  therefrom  by
applicable  law or  regulation.
3.  Termination.
3.1.Termination  upon Death or Disability.  If the Executive  either dies or
becomes entitled to benefits under a Company long-term disability plan or
program during the Term  (whether  before  or  after a  Change  of  Control),
the  Term  shall automatically terminate thereupon,  and the Executive or the
Executive's estate, as the case may be,  shall be  entitled  to  receive,  in
addition  to any life insurance  or  disability  benefits  which are  payable,
as soon as  reasonably practicable after the separate  determinations  thereof,
 (i) a lump sum payment equal to the Base Salary for the remaining Term (as
otherwise  determined before such  termination),  (ii) any unpaid vested
Benefits  accrued up to such date of termination,  (iii) an amount equal to the
product of (a) the Annual  Bonus,  if any, otherwise payable with respect to the
year in which the Term is terminated, multiplied  by (b) a  fraction,  the
numerator  of which is the  number of days elapsed in such year as of the
termination  date and the denominator of which is 365.  These items are in
addition to and shall not reduce any other  benefits to which the Executive or
his estate may be entitled.

<PAGE>


3.2.     Other Termination.
(1)      Termination  By  the  Company.  Notwithstanding  any  provision  of the
         Agreement to the contrary, the Company, with the approval of a majority
         of the Board of Directors,  has the right, at any time during the Term,
         exercisable by serving written  notice,  effective on or after the date
         of  service of such  notice as  specified  therein,  to  terminate  the
         Executive's  employment  under  this  Agreement  and to  discharge  the
         Executive with or without Cause.
(2)      Termination  With Cause. Any termination of employment of the Executive
         by the Company with Cause shall  terminate  the Term and  thereafter no
         amounts shall be payable to Executive  under this Agreement  except (i)
         his Base Salary  through the date of  termination,  and (ii) any unpaid
         vested  Benefits,  and (iii) the Annual Bonuses,  if any,  payable with
         respect to the prior  calendar year if it has not yet been paid. All of
         the foregoing amounts shall be payable in a lump sum, less such amounts
         as shall be required to be deducted or withheld therefrom by applicable
         law and  regulations,  within  fifteen (15) days after the  termination
         date.
                  For  purposes of this  Agreement,  "Cause"  shall mean (i) the
         conviction  of the  Executive of a felony  specifically  involving  his
         actions  with  respect to the  Company,  (ii) the  Executive's  willful
         refusal  without  legal cause to perform his duties as Chief  Executive
         Officer of the Company  which  refusal  continues  for more than thirty
         (30)  days  after  written  notice to the  Executive  from the Board of
         Directors of the Company  directing the Executive to discontinue  same,
         or (iii) a material breach of his fiduciary duty to the Company through
         the misappropriation of funds or property of the Company.


<PAGE>


         Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Executive's  right to
terminate his employment with the Company.

(3)      Termination Without Cause;  Termination by the Employee for Good Reason
         or  Termination  Following  Change  of  Control.   Notwithstanding  any
         provision  of this  Agreement  to the  contrary,  in the event that the
         Executive's  employment is terminated  following a Change of Control of
         the Company,  by the Company  without Cause or by the Employee for Good
         Reason,  the  following  amounts  shall be payable or  provided  by the
         Company:  (i) the Base Salary then earned,  but unpaid,  plus an amount
         equal to the  Base  Salary  which  would  have  been  earned  up to and
         including  the end of the Term (as  otherwise  determined  before  such
         termination),  (ii) any unpaid vested Benefits  accrued to such date of
         termination,  (iii) an amount  equal to the  aggregate  Annual  Bonuses
         which would have been  payable on account of any  periods  ending on or
         before  the  end of the  Term  (as  otherwise  determined  before  such
         termination)  which bonuses shall, for each such period be equal to one
         hundred  fifty percent  (150%) of the then current Base Salary.  All of
         the foregoing amounts shall be payable in a lump sum, less such amounts
         as shall be required to be deducted or withheld therefrom by applicable
         law and  regulations,  within  fifteen (15) days after the  termination
         date. To the extent the Executive is eligible thereunder,  for a period
         through  the end of the  Term  (as  otherwise  determined  before  such
         termination),   the  Executive  shall  continue  to  be  provided  life
         insurance,  disability,  long-term  disability  policies  and any other
         Benefits  provided  to  the  Executive  on the  date  hereof,  or  such
         successor   policies   in  effect  at  the  time  of  the   Executive's
         termination,  and shall also continue to be covered for the  applicable
         period by such other  insurance,  disability,  health or other  Benefit
         program,  plan or  policy  by which he was  covered  at the time of the
         Executive's  termination.  In the event the  Executive is ineligible to
         continue to be so covered  under the terms of any such life  insurance,
         disability,  long-term disability,  insurance,  health or other Benefit
         program,  plan or policy,  the Company  shall  provide to the Executive
         through  other  sources  such  benefits,   including  such   additional
         benefits,  as may be necessary to make the benefits  applicable  to the
         Executive substantially equivalent to those in effect immediately prior
         to such termination.
                  For purposes of this  Agreement,  a "Change of Control" of the
         Company  shall be  deemed  to occur  upon the  happening  of any of the
         following:

                  least a  majority  of the  Board,  provided  that  any  person
                  becoming  a  director  subsequent  to the date  hereof,  whose
                  election or nomination  for election was approved by a vote of
                  at least  two-thirds  of the Incumbent  Directors  then on the
                  Board  (either by a specific  vote or by approval of the proxy
                  statement  of the  Company in which such  person is named as a
                  nominee  for  director,  without  written  objection  to  such

                  intended  to avoid or settle  any  Election  Contest  or Proxy
                  Contest, shall be deemed an Incumbent Director;
(II)               any  person is or  becomes a  "beneficial  owner"  (as
                  defined  in Rule 13d-3  under the Act),  directly  or
                  indirectly,  of securities of the Company  representing  25%
                  or more of the combined  voting power of the Company's then
                  outstanding securities eligible to vote for the election of
                  the Board (the "Company Voting Securities");  provided,
                  however, that the event  described in this paragraph (ii)
                  shall not be deemed to be a Change in Control of the Company

                  Company or any  subsidiary,  (B) by any  employee  benefit

                  below) in which Company  Voting  Securities  are acquired from
                  the Company,  if a majority  of the  Incumbent  Directors
                  (including  the  Executive  if he is then an  Incumbent
                  Director)  approve a resolution  providing  expressly  that
                  the  acquisition  pursuant to this clause (F) does not
                  constitute a Change in Control of the Company under this
                  paragraph (ii).

                  exchange or similar form of corporate transaction involving
                  the Company or any of its  subsidiaries  that  requires  the
                  approval of the  Company's  stockholders,  whether for such
                  transaction or the issuance of securities in the transaction
                  (a  "Reorganization"),  or sale or other  disposition of
                  all or  substantially  all of the  Company's  assets to an
                  entity that is not an affiliate of the Company (a "Sale"),

                  corporation  resulting from such Reorganization or the

                  corporation  that directly or indirectly  has  beneficial
                  ownership of at least a majority of the voting  securities

                  approval  of the  execution  of the  initial  agreement
                  providing for such  Reorganization or Sale (any
                  Reorganization or Sale which satisfies all of the criteria

                  "Non-Qualifying Transaction"); or

<PAGE>


(IV)              the stockholders of the Company approve a plan of complete
                  liquidation or dissolution of the Company.
                  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  a Change in  Control  of the
                  Company shall not be deemed to occur solely because any person
                  acquires beneficial  ownership of more than 25% of the Company
                  Voting  Securities as a result of the  acquisition  of Company
                  Voting  Securities  by the Company which reduces the number of
                  Company Voting Securities outstanding; provided, that if after
                  such  acquisition  by the  Company  such  person  becomes  the
                  beneficial owner of additional  Company Voting Securities that
                  increases  the  percentage  of   outstanding   Company  Voting
                  Securities  beneficially  owned by such  person,  a Change  in
                  Control of the Company shall then occur.
                           For purposes hereof, "Good Reason" shall mean


<PAGE>


(a)                        Removal  without  the  consent  of the  Executive  in
                           writing,  from  any of the  offices  now  held by the
                           Executive  in the  Company or any  subsidiary  of the
                           Company,  or any material  reduction  in  Executive's
                           authority or  responsibility,  other than or a result
                           of  a   termination   for  Cause  or  on  account  of
                           disability.
(b)      The Company otherwise commits a material breach of his Agreement.

3.3. Certain Additional  Payments by the Company.  Anything in this Agreement to
the  contrary  notwithstanding,  in the  event it shall be  determined  that any
payment or  distribution  by the Company to or for the benefit of the Executive,
whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of
this  Agreement or otherwise (a  "Payment"),  would be subject to the excise tax
imposed by Section  4999 of the Internal  Revenue Code of 1986,  as amended (the
"Code") or any  interest  or  penalties  with  respect to such  excise tax (such
excise tax,  together  with any such  interest and  penalties,  are  hereinafter
collectively  referred  to as the "Excise  Tax"),  then the  Executive  shall be
entitled to receive an  additional  payment (a "Gross-Up  Payment") in an amount
such that after payment by the Executive of all taxes (including any interest or
penalties imposed with respect to such taxes),  including any Excise Tax imposed
upon the  Gross-Up  Payment,  the  Executive  retains an amount of the  Gross-Up
Payment  equal to the  Excise  Tax  imposed  upon the  Payments.  Subject to the
provisions  of  this  Section  3.3,  all  determinations  required  to  be  made
hereunder,  including  whether a Gross-Up  Payment is required and the amount of
such Gross-Up  Payment,  shall be made by Ernst & Young or such other accounting
firm selected by the Executive  (the  "Accounting  Firm") at the sole expense of
the Company,  which shall provide detailed  supporting  calculations both to the
Company and the  Executive  within  fifteen  (15)  business  days of the date of
termination of the Executive's  employment under this Agreement,  if applicable,
or such earlier time as is requested  by the  Company.  If the  Accounting  Firm
determines  that no Excise Tax is payable by the Executive,  the Accounting Firm
shall furnish the Executive  with an opinion that he has  substantial  authority
not to report any Excise Tax on his federal income tax return. Any determination
by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and the Executive. As a
result of the  uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the
time of the  initial  determination  by the  Accounting  Firm  hereunder,  it is
possible  that Gross-Up  Payments,  which will not have been made by the Company
should  have been made (an  "Underpayment"),  consistent  with the  calculations
required to be made  hereunder.  If the Company  exhausts its remedies  pursuant
hereto and the Executive  thereafter is required to make a payment of any Excise
Tax, the Accounting Firm shall determine the amount of the Underpayment that has
occurred and any such  Underpayment  shall be promptly paid by the Company to or
for the benefit of the Executive.

<PAGE>


         The  Executive  shall notify the Company in writing of any claim by the
Internal  Revenue Service that, if successful,  would require the payment by the
Company of the Gross-Up  Payment.  Such  notification  shall be given as soon as
practicable  but no later than ten business  days after the  Executive  knows of
such  claim and shall  apprise  the  Company of the nature of such claim and the
date on which such claim is requested to be paid.  The  Executive  shall not pay
such claim prior to the  expiration of the 30-day  period  following the date on
which it gives such notice to the Company (or such shorter  period ending on the
date that any  payment  of taxes  with  respect  to such  claim is due).  If the
Company notifies the Executive in writing prior to the expiration of such period
that it desires to contest such claim, the Executive shall:
(a) give the Company any information reasonably requested by the Company
relating to such claim,

<PAGE>


(b) take such  action  in  connection  with  contesting  such  claim as the
Company  shall  reasonably  request  in  writing  from  time  to  time,
including  (without  limitation)  accepting legal  representation  with
respect  to  such  claim  by an  attorney  reasonably  selected  by the
Company,
(c) cooperate with the Company in good faith to contest  effectively such claim,
and
(d)      permit the Company to participate in any  proceedings  relating to such
         claim; provided that the Company shall bear and pay directly all ,costs
         and expenses (including  additional interest and penalties) incurred in
         connection with such contest and shall indemnify and hold the Executive
         harmless,  on an  after-tax  basis,  for any Excise Tax or income  tax,
         including  interest and penalties  with respect  thereto,  imposed as a
         result  of such  representation  and  payment  of costs  and  expenses.
         Without limitation on the foregoing provisions hereof the Company shall
         control all  proceedings  taken in connection with such contest and, at
         its  sole  option,  may  pursue  or  forgo  any and all  administrative
         appeals,   proceedings,   hearings  and  conferences  with  the  taxing
         authority in respect of such claim and may, at its sole option,  either
         direct the  Executive  to pay the tax  claimed  and sue for a refund or
         contest the claim in any permissible  manner,  and the Executive agrees
         to prosecute such contest to a determination  before any administrative
         tribunal,  in a  court  of  initial  jurisdiction  and in  one or  more
         appellate courts, as the Company shall determine,  provided that if the
         Company  directs the  Executive to pay such claim and sue for a refund,
         the Company shall advance the amount of such payment to the  Executive,
         on an  interest-free  basis and shall  indemnify and hold the Executive
         harmless,  on an  after-tax  basis,  from any Excise Tax or income tax,
         including  interest or  penalties  with respect  thereto,  imposed with
         respect to such  advance or with  respect to any  imputed  income  with
         respect to such advance, and further provided that any extension of the
         statute of  limitations  relating  to payment of taxes for the  taxable
         year of the Executive  with respect to which such  contested  amount is
         claimed  to  be  due  is  limited  solely  to  such  contested  amount.
         Furthermore,  the Company's  control of the contest shall be limited to
         issues  with  respect  to which a  Gross-Up  Payment  would be  payable
         hereunder and the Executive shall be entitled to settle or contest,  as
         the case may be, any other issue raised by the Internal Revenue Service
         or any other taxing authority.

<PAGE>


                  If, after the receipt by the  Executive of an amount  advanced
         by the Company  pursuant  hereto,  the  Executive  becomes  entitled to
         receive any refund  with  respect to such claim,  the  Executive  shall
         (subject  to the  Company's  complying  with the  requirements  hereof)
         promptly  pay to the Company the amount of such refund  (together  with
         any interest paid or credited thereon after taxes applicable  thereto).
         If,  after the receipt by the  Executive  of an amount  advanced by the
         Company  pursuant  hereto,  a determination  is made that the Executive
         shall not be entitled to any refund with  respect to such claim and the
         Company  does not  notify  the  Executive  in  writing of its intent to
         contest  such denial of refund prior to the  expiration  of thirty (30)
         days after such determination,  then such advance shall be forgiven and
         shall not be required to be repaid and the amount of such advance shall
         offset, to the extent thereof,  the amount of Gross-Up Payment required
         to be paid.
4.       Other Provisions.

<PAGE>


4.1.  Nondisclosure.  During  the term of this  Agreement  and  thereafter,  the

employment  under this  Agreement  and in  furtherance  of the  business  of the
Company  confidential  information or proprietary data of the Company (or any of
its  subsidiaries),  except as  required  by  applicable  law or legal  process;
provided,   however,  that  confidential   information  shall  not  include  any

Company for Cause or by the Executive  without Good  Reason,  he shall not
(except in the course of his  employment  under this Agreement  and in
furtherance  of the  business  of the  Company (or any of its subsidiaries) (i)

a company,  partnership  or firm  ("Business  Segment") that is directly

`the Company may have against the Executive.

8.  Amendment.  No provision of this  Agreement may be modified or waived unless
such  modification or waiver is agreed to in writing and signed by the Executive
and by a duly authorized  officer of the Company who has been authorized to sign
by the Compensation  Committee of the Company.  No waiver by either party hereto
at any time of any breach by the other party hereto of, or compliance  with, any
condition  or  provision  of this  Agreement to be performed by such other party
shall be deemed a waiver of similar or  dissimilar  provisions  or conditions at
the same or at any prior or  subsequent  time.  Failure by the  Executive or the
Company to insist upon strict compliance with any provision of this Agreement or
to assert any right the Executive or the Company may have  hereunder,  including
without limitation,  the right of the Executive to terminate employment for Good
Reason,  shall not be deemed  to be a waiver of such  provision  or right or any
other  provision or right of this  Agreement.  Except as otherwise  specifically
provided  herein,  the rights of, and benefits  payable to, the  Executive,  his
estate or his  beneficiaries  pursuant to this  Agreement are in addition to any
rights  of,  or  benefits   payable  to,  the  Executive,   his  estate  or  his
beneficiaries  under any other employee benefit plan or compensation  program of
the Company.
9. Full Settlement.  The Company's  obligation to make any payments provided for
in this  Agreement  in respect of the  Executive's  termination  of employment
and otherwise to perform its  obligations  hereunder shall be in lieu and in
full  settlement of all other  severance  payments to the Executive under
any severance plan of the Company.
         IN WITNESS WHEREOF,  the parties have executed this Agreement effective
for all purposes as of the date first above written.

                                     EXHIBIT A


         Any capitalized  term used herein which is not otherwise  defined shall
have the meaning attributed to it in the Executive's  Employment  Agreement (the
"Employment Agreement").

         The Employment  Agreement  provides that the Executive shall be paid an
Annual Bonus as determined  by the  Compensation  Committee  (or a  subcommittee
thereof comprised solely of "outside  directors,"  within the meaning of Section
162(m)  of the  Internal  Revenue  Code  of  1986,  if the  Committee  is not so
comprised,  and references herein to the Compensation  Committee shall be deemed
references  to such  subcommittee).  The purpose of this Exhibit is to set forth
the procedure for (i) setting the annual  objectives (the  "Objective") for each
year,  (ii)  determining  whether the  Objective  has been  obtained,  and (iii)
setting the magnitude of the Annual Bonus based upon the  Company's  performance
vis-a-vis the Objective.

         On or prior to February 28 of each calendar year,  the Executive  shall
submit a proposed business plan to the Compensation Committee. The business plan
shall set forth a forecast  of the net income  after tax for the Company for the
then current  year.  The proposed  business  plan shall be subject to review and
approval by the  Compensation  Committee.  The  Executive  and the  Compensation
Committee  shall  discuss  in good  faith any  revisions  to the  proposed  plan
required by the Compensation  Committee,  but notwithstanding  such discussions,
the business plan shall be subject to the approval of the Compensation Committee
in the exercise of its discretion.  On or prior to the 90th day of each calendar
year, the Compensation  Committee shall  determine,  based on the business plan,
specific objective  performance  criteria which must be met for the Executive to
receive the Annual Bonus;  provided however,  the Executive shall be entitled to
receive an Annual Bonus with respect to calendar  year 1999 if the Company's net
income  available  for Common Stock for the five months ended  December 31, 1999
equals or exceeds an amount determined by the Compensation Committee on or prior
to August 27, 1999.

         Within  ten (10)  days  after  the year end  financial  results  of the
Company are made available to the  Compensation  Committee,  it shall  determine
whether,  in its good faith  judgment,  the  Objective has been met or exceeded.
Based  upon  the  Compensation  Committee's  conclusions  with  respect  to  the
Company's performance  vis-a-vis the Objective,  the Executive shall be entitled
to the Annual Bonus.

                                                           Exhibit 10.4


                           Riggs National Corporation
                            Executive Incentive Plan


         1. Purpose. The purpose of the Executive Incentive Plan (the "Plan") is
to advance the interests of Riggs National  Corporation  (the "Company") and its
stockholders  by  providing  incentives  in the form of bonus  awards to certain
executives of the Company and any of its  subsidiaries or other related business
units or entities  ("Affiliates") who contribute  significantly to the strategic
and  long-term  performance  objectives  and  growth  of  the  Company  and  its
Affiliates.

         2.  Administration.  The Plan shall be administered by the Compensation
Committee  (the  "Committee")  of the Board of  Directors  of the  Company  (the
"Board"), as such committee is from time to time constituted.  The Committee may
delegate  its  duties  and  powers  in whole or in part (i) to any  subcommittee
thereof consisting solely of at least two "outside  directors," as defined under
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), or
(ii) to the extent  consistent  with  Section  162(m) of the Code,  to any other
individual or individuals.



                  The  Committee has all the powers vested in it by the terms of
the Plan set forth  herein,  such powers to include the  exclusive  authority to
select the executives to be granted bonus awards (the "Bonuses") under the Plan,
to determine  the size and terms of the Bonus made to each  individual  selected
(subject to the limitation imposed below), to modify the terms of any Bonus that
has been granted (except with respect to any  modification  which would increase
the amount of  compensation  payable to a  "Covered  Employee,"  as such term is
defined in Section 162(m) of the Code),  to determine the time when Bonuses will
be awarded,  to establish  performance  objectives  in respect of Bonuses and to
certify  that such  performance  objectives  were  attained.  The  Committee  is
authorized to interpret the Plan, to establish,  amend and rescind any rules and
regulations  relating to the Plan, and to make any other  determinations that it
deems necessary or desirable for the  administration  of the Plan. The Committee
may correct any defect or supply any omission or reconcile any  inconsistency in
the Plan in the  manner  and to the  extent the  Committee  deems  necessary  or
desirable  to  carry  it into  effect.  Any  decision  of the  Committee  in the
interpretation  and  administration of the Plan, as described herein,  shall lie
within  its sole and  absolute  discretion  and shall be final,  conclusive  and
binding on all parties  concerned.  No member of the Committee and no officer of
the Company  shall be liable for  anything  done or omitted to be done by him or
her, by any other  member of the  Committee  or by any officer of the Company in
connection with the performance of duties under the Plan,  except for his or her
own willful  misconduct  or as expressly  provided by statute.  If the Committee
determines that a Bonus to be granted to a Covered  Employee (or a person likely
to be a Covered Employee) should qualify as "performance-based compensation" for
purposes  of Section  162(m) of the Code,  all of the  foregoing  determinations
shall be made by the Committee, if the Committee is comprised solely of "outside
directors"  and,  if it is  not,  then by a  subcommittee  of the  Committee  so
comprised.

<PAGE>

         3.  Participation.  The Committee shall have exclusive power (except as
may be delegated as permitted  herein) to select the  executives  of the Company
and its Affiliates who may  participate in the Plan and be granted Bonuses under
the Plan ("Participants").

         4. Bonuses under the Plan.

                  (a) In General.  The Committee shall determine the amount of a
Bonus to be granted to each Participant in accordance with subsection (b) below.

                  (b) Bonuses.  (i) The Committee may in its discretion  award a
Bonus to a Participant who it reasonably  believes may be a Covered Employee for
the taxable year of the Company in which such Bonus would be  deductible,  under
the terms and conditions of this subsection (b). Subject to clause (iii) of this
Section  4(b),  the  amount  of  a  Participant's   Bonus  shall  be  an  amount
determinable from written  performance goals approved by the Committee while the
outcome  is  substantially  uncertain  and  no  more  than  90  days  after  the
commencement  of the period to which the  performance  goal relates or, if less,
the  number  of days that is equal to 25  percent  of the  relevant  performance
period.  The maximum  aggregate  limit on Bonuses that may be awarded under this
Plan to any Participant with respect to any calendar year is $2 million.

                  (ii) The  amount  of any  Bonus  will be  based  on  objective
performance  goals and a targeted level or levels of performance with respect to
each goal as specified by the Committee.  One or more of the following  business
criteria  for  the  Company  on  a  consolidated  basis,  and/or  for  specified
subsidiaries  or business units of the Company shall be used by the Committee in
establishing  performance goals for Bonuses: (A) before or after tax net income;
(B) net income  available  for common  stock;  (C) earnings per share;  (D) book
value per share; (E) stock price; (F) return on  stockholders'  equity;  (G) the
relative performance of peer group companies; (H) expense management; (I) return
on investment;  (J) improvements in capital structure; (K) return on assets; (L)
profit margins; (M) budget comparisons; and (N) total return to stockholders.

                  (iii) The Committee  shall  determine (in writing with respect
to any  Covered  Employee)  whether  the  performance  goals  have been met with
respect to any affected  Participant and, if they have, so certify and ascertain
the  amount  of the  applicable  Bonus.  No  Bonuses  will  be paid  until  such
certification is made by the Committee.



<PAGE>


                  (iv) The provisions of this Section 4(b) shall be administered
and  interpreted  in  accordance  with Section  162(m) of the Code to ensure the
deductibility by the Company or its Affiliates of the payment of Bonuses.

         5.  Designation  of Beneficiary  by  Participant.  The Committee or its
delegate shall create a procedure  whereby a Participant  may file, on a form to
be  provided  by the  Committee,  a  written  election  designating  one or more
beneficiaries  with respect to the amount,  if any,  payable in the event of the
Participant's  death. The Participant may amend such beneficiary  designation in
writing at any time prior to the Participant's death, without the consent of any
previously designated beneficiary.  Such designation or amended designation,  as
the case may be,  shall not be effective  unless and until  received by the duly
authorized  representatives  of the  Committee  or  its  delegate  prior  to the
Participant's death. In the absence of any such designation, the amount payable,
if any,  shall be delivered to the legal  representative  of such  Participant's
estate.

         6.       Miscellaneous Provisions.

                  (a) No employee or other  person shall have any claim or right
to be paid a Bonus under the Plan.  Determinations  made by the Committee  under
the  Plan  need  not be  uniform  and may be  made  selectively  among  eligible
individuals  under  the  Plan,  whether  or not such  eligible  individuals  are
similarly  situated.  Neither the Plan nor any action taken  hereunder  shall be
construed  as giving any  employee  or other  person any right to continue to be
employed by or perform services for the Company or any Affiliate,  and the right
to terminate the employment of or performance of services by any  Participant at
any time and for any reason is  specifically  reserved  to the  Company  and its
Affiliates.

                  (b)  Except  as  may  be   approved   by  the   Committee,   a
Participant's  rights  and  interest  under  the  Plan  may not be  assigned  or
transferred,  hypothecated  or encumbered in whole or in part either directly or
by operation of law or otherwise (except in the event of a Participant's  death)
including,  but  not  by  way  of  limitation,   execution,  levy,  garnishment,
attachment,  pledge, bankruptcy or in any other manner; provided, however, that,
subject to applicable law, any amounts payable to any Participant  hereunder are
subject to  reduction to satisfy any  liabilities  owed to the Company or any of
its Affiliates by the Participant.

                  (c) The Committee shall have the authority to determine in its
sole discretion the applicable  performance  period relating to any Bonus and to
include with respect to any award any change in control provision.



<PAGE>


                  (d) The  Company  and its  Affiliates  shall have the right to
deduct from any payment made under the Plan any federal, state, local or foreign
income or other  taxes  required  by law to be  withheld  with  respect  to such
payment.

                  (e) The  Company is the sponsor  and legal  obligor  under the
Plan, and shall make all payments hereunder,  other than any payments to be made
by any of the Affiliates, which shall be made by such Affiliate, as appropriate.
Nothing  herein is intended to restrict the Company  from  charging an Affiliate
that  employs a  Participant  for all or a portion of the  payments  made by the
Company hereunder. The Company shall not be required to establish any special or
separate fund or to make any other  segregation  of assets to assure the payment
of any  amounts  under the Plan,  and  rights to payment  hereunder  shall be no
greater than the rights of the Company's unsecured,  subordinated creditors, and
shall be subordinated to the claims of the customers and clients of the Company.
All expenses involved in administering the Plan shall be borne by the Company.

                  (f) The validity, construction, interpretation, administration
and effect of the Plan and rights  relating  to the Plan and to Bonuses  granted
under the Plan, shall be governed by the substantive laws, but not the choice of
law rules, of the State of Delaware.

                  (g) The Plan shall be  effective  as of August  23,  1999 (the
"Effective Date"),  subject to the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority
of all shares of Common  Stock of the  Company  present in person or by proxy at
the Annual Meeting of the Company to be held on April 12, 2000.

         7. Plan Amendment or Suspension.  The Plan may be amended, suspended or
terminated  in  whole  or in  part  at any  time  and  from  time to time by the
Committee or the Board without the consent of the Company's  stockholders or any
Participant;  provided,  however,  that  any  amendment  to the  Plan  shall  be
submitted  to the  stockholders  if  stockholder  approval  is  required  by any
applicable law, rule or regulation.

         8.  Nonexclusivity of the Plan. Neither the adoption of the Plan by the
Board nor its  submission  of any terms of the Plan to the  stockholders  of the
Company for approval shall be construed as creating any limitations on the power
of the Board or the Committee to adopt such other incentive arrangements,  apart
from the Plan, as it may deem desirable,  including  incentive  arrangements and
awards  that  do  not  qualify  under  Code  Section  162(m),   and  such  other
arrangements may be either applicable generally or only in specific cases.



<PAGE>


         9. Actions and  Decisions  Regarding  the Business or Operations of the
Company  and/or  its  Affiliates.  Notwithstanding  anything  in the Plan to the
contrary,  neither the Company nor any of its  Affiliates  nor their  respective
officers,  directors,  employees  or  agents  shall  have any  liability  to any
Participant (or his or her  beneficiaries  or heirs) under the Plan or otherwise
on  account  of any  action  taken,  or not  taken,  in good faith by any of the
foregoing  persons with respect to the business or  operations of the Company or
any Affiliates.
