ITEM 1. BUSINESS

GENERAL

     Irwin Financial Corporation (the "Corporation") is a diversified financial
services company organized as an Indiana bank holding company in May, 1972. The
Corporation's principal subsidiaries are Irwin Mortgage Corporation ("Irwin
Mortgage"), a mortgage banking company; Irwin Union Bank and Trust Company
("Irwin Union Bank"), a commercial bank; Irwin Home Equity Corporation ("Home
Equity"), a consumer home equity lending company; Irwin Business Finance
("Business Finance"), an equipment leasing company; Irwin Ventures Incorporated
("Irwin Ventures"), a venture capital company; and Irwin Union Credit Insurance
Corporation, a credit insurance company. The Corporation is also the sole equity
shareholder of IFC Capital Trust I ("Capital Trust"), a special purpose trust.

BUSINESS OF SUBSIDIARIES

     Irwin Mortgage, acquired in 1981, originates, purchases and services
conventional or government agency backed (i.e., FHA and VA) residential mortgage
loans. Most mortgages are either insured by an agency of the federal government,
or in the case of a conventional mortgage, meet requirements for resale to the
Federal National Mortgage Association or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage
Corporation. Irwin Mortgage also engages in the non-prime first and second
mortgage lending market. This market is composed of borrowers who do not qualify
under the underwriting guidelines established by the government-sponsored
secondary market agencies for conforming first mortgages.

     Irwin Mortgage sells mortgage loans to institutional and private investors
but may retain servicing rights to mortgage loans that it originates or
purchases from correspondents. Irwin Mortgage collects and accounts for the
monthly payments on each loan serviced and pays the real estate taxes and
insurance necessary to protect the integrity of the mortgage lien, for which it
receives a servicing fee. Irwin Mortgage operates 107 production and satellite
offices in twenty-nine states. During 1999, Irwin Mortgage established offices
in Irvine, California; Schererville, Indiana; Springfield, Illinois; Ashland,
Kentucky; Kalamazoo and Lansing, Michigan; Sunset Hills and Union, Missouri;
Reno, Nevada; Charlotte, Creed Moor and Durham, North Carolina; Weatherford,
Oklahoma; Portland, Oregon; Lancaster, Pennsylvania; Brentwood, Tennessee;
Houston, Texas; Chesapeake, Virginia; and Green Bay, Wisconsin. During 1999,
Irwin Mortgage closed offices in Antioch, California; Aiea, Hawaii; Anderson,
Kendalville and New Albany, Indiana; Louisville, Kentucky; Towson, Maryland;
Braintree, Massachusetts; Jackson, Mississippi; Las Vegas, Nevada; Charlotte and
Madison, North Carolina; Broken Arrow, Oklahoma; Lake Oswego, Oregon;
Wyomissing, Pennsylvania; Austin and Rockport, Texas; Suffolk, Virginia;
Bellevue, Washington; and Green Bay, Wisconsin.

     Irwin Union Bank, organized in 1871, is a full service commercial bank
offering a wide variety of services to individual, business, institutional, and
governmental customers. Irwin Union Bank's services include personal and
commercial checking accounts, savings and time deposit accounts, personal and
business loans, credit card services, money transfer, financial counseling,
property and casualty insurance agency services, trust services, securities
brokerage, and safe deposit facilities. Irwin Union Bank is the largest of
eleven financial institutions operating in Bartholomew County, Indiana, with
eight locations throughout the county. Irwin Union Bank also has branch
facilities in Greensburg (Decatur County), Carmel (Hamilton County), Avon
(Hendricks County), Seymour (Jackson County -- 2), Franklin and Greenwood
(Johnson County -- 2), Indianapolis (Marion County), Bloomington (Monroe
County -- 3) and Shelbyville (Shelby County), Indiana. In January, 1999, Irwin
Union Bank opened a loan production office in Brentwood (St. Louis), Missouri.
Loan production offices established in 1999 in Kalamazoo and Grandville (Grand
Rapids), Michigan became branches of the Bank in June, 1999 and January, 2000,
respectively. In December, 1999, the Bank opened a branch office in Carson City,
Nevada. In July, 1999, Irwin Union Bank acquired the business of Susan Wier,
d/b/a Investment Partners. In January, 2000, Irwin Union Insurance, Inc., an
insurance agency subsidiary of Irwin Union Bank, acquired Colvin Brokerage &
Insurance Agency, Inc. In

April, 1999, Irwin Union Advisory Services, Inc., a subsidiary of Irwin Union
Bank, became a registered investment advisor.

     Home Equity was formed in 1994 and is located in San Ramon, California. In
conjunction with its affiliate Irwin Union Bank, Home Equity originates,
securitizes, and services home equity loans and lines of credit. The products
are marketed through direct mail, telemarketing and Internet-based solicitations
in twenty-nine states. Products are also offered through the use of independent
third-party brokers. Additionally, Home Equity offers a first mortgage refinance
program in selected states. In January, 2000, Home Equity introduced a product
offering a limited amount of credit with an expedited turnaround time called
"Immediate Credit."

     Business Finance, headquartered in Bellevue, Washington, was organized
during the second quarter of 1999 for the purpose of originating and servicing
small to medium-sized equipment leases and loans. Business Finance commenced
operations in January, 2000. The company originates transactions from an
established national network of brokers and vendors through an e-commerce system
that provides automated credit scoring, documentation and portfolio management
services.

     Irwin Ventures, located in Columbus, Indiana, is a venture capital
subsidiary formed in the third quarter of 1999 for the purpose of making
investments in early stage companies in the financial services industry and
related fields. In August, 1999, Irwin Ventures established a subsidiary, Irwin
Ventures Incorporated-SBIC ("IVI-SBIC"). Irwin Ventures has filed an application
with the Small Business Administration for a Small Business Investment Company
license on behalf of IVI-SBIC.

     Irwin Union Credit Insurance Corporation is located in Columbus, Indiana
and provides credit life insurance to consumer loan customers of Irwin Union
Bank.

     IFC Capital Trust I ("Capital Trust"), is a statutory business trust
created under the laws of Delaware. The Corporation owns all of the Common
Securities of Capital Trust. Capital Trust exists for the purpose of issuing the
Preferred Securities and investing the proceeds thereof in an equivalent amount
of 9.25% Subordinated Debentures of the Corporation. The Subordinated Debentures
will mature on March 31, 2027, which date may be (i) shortened to a date not
earlier than March 31, 2002, or (ii) extended to a date not later than March 31,
2046, in each case if certain conditions are met (including, in the case of
shortening the Stated Maturity, the Corporation having received prior approval
of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("Federal Reserve") to
do so if then required under applicable capital guidelines or policies of the
Federal Reserve). The Preferred Securities will have a preference under certain
circumstances with respect to cash distributions and amounts payable on
liquidation, redemption or otherwise over the Common Securities. Holders of
Preferred Securities are entitled to receive preferential cumulative cash
distributions, at the annual rate of 9.25% of the liquidation amount of $25 per
Preferred Security accruing from the date of original issuance and payable
quarterly in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December of
each year, commencing March 31, 1997.

     The Corporation continues to hold certain small-ticket equipment leases in
its subsidiary, Irwin Leasing Corporation (the former Affiliated Capital Corp.).
The leases were not part of the 1998 sale of substantially all of the assets of
Affiliated Capital to DVI Financial Services, Inc. Irwin Leasing and its parent,
Irwin Equipment Finance Corporation, are inactive except for the leases.

     In December, 1999, the Corporation applied to the Office of Thrift
Supervision to establish a federal savings bank subsidiary. The federal savings
bank would foster the development of branch banking capabilities in markets
outside Indiana.

     No single part of the business of the Corporation is dependent upon a
single customer or upon a very few customers and the loss of any one customer
would not have a materially adverse effect upon the business of the Corporation.

COMPETITION

     Irwin Mortgage originates and services residential first and second
mortgage loans from 107 production and satellite offices in Arizona, California,
Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana,
Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, New Jersey, North
Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Utah,
Washington, Wisconsin and the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, including
offices in Maryland and Virginia. In each of these locations, competition for
mortgage loans comes from other national, regional, local, and web-enabled
mortgage banking companies as well as commercial banks, savings banks, and
savings & loan associations. Irwin Mortgage purchases mortgage loans from
correspondents in these and other states as well.

     The commercial banking business for Irwin Union Bank in the Bartholomew,
Decatur, Hamilton, Hendricks, Jackson, Johnson, Marion, Monroe and Shelby
County, Indiana areas is very competitive. Within these counties, in addition to
the commercial banks, there are a number of savings banks, savings & loan
associations and credit unions competing for deposits and loans. Irwin Union
Bank also competes for the provision of banking services with banks located
elsewhere in Indiana, primarily in south central Indiana, and with a number of
nonbank companies located throughout the United States, including insurance
companies, retailers, brokerage firms, companies offering money market accounts,
and national credit card companies. As of December 31, 1999, Irwin Union Bank
ranked first among commercial banking and savings bank institutions on the basis
of Bartholomew County deposits. In addition to the above mentioned counties,
Irwin Union Bank derives its business from several other counties in south
central Indiana. Irwin Union Bank's new branch offices in Kalamazoo and
Grandville (Grand Rapids), Michigan and Carson City, Nevada, and its loan
production office in Brentwood (St. Louis), Missouri experience competition from
existing institutions in those areas.

     Home Equity's primary competitors for home equity loans and lines of credit
include banks, thrifts, credit unions, and other home equity lenders with
operations that are either national, regional, local, or web-enabled in scope.
Such competitors may be headquartered anywhere in the country.

     The primary competitors of Business Finance include other funding sources
that are independent or affiliated with banks or large equipment leasing
companies that operate on a national or regional basis.

     The primary competitors of Irwin Ventures are other venture capital firms
and individuals who invest in start-up companies. Such companies and individuals
may be located anywhere in the country.

SUPERVISION AND REGULATION

     The Corporation is a bank holding company within the meaning of the Bank
Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and is registered with, regulated and
examined by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Board of
Governors").

     Subject to certain exceptions, a bank holding company is prohibited from
acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of more than five percent of
the voting shares of any company which is not a bank and from engaging directly
or indirectly in activities unrelated to banking or managing or controlling
banks. One exception to this prohibition permits activities by a bank holding
company or its subsidiary which the Board of Governors determines to be so
closely related to banking or managing or controlling banks as to be a proper
incident thereto. The Board of Governors has adopted regulations prescribing
those activities it presently regards as permissible, which include the
activities engaged in by Corporation and its subsidiaries.

     The Bank Holding Company Act, the Federal Reserve Act, and the Federal
Deposit Insurance Act also subject bank holding companies and their subsidiaries
to certain restrictions on extensions of credit by subsidiary banks to the bank
holding company or any of its subsidiaries, or investments in the securities
thereof, and on the taking of such securities as collateral for loans to any
borrower. Further, the Bank Holding Company Act and the regulations of the Board
of Governors thereunder, prohibit a bank holding company and its subsidiaries
from engaging in certain tie-in arrangements in connection with any extension of
credit, sale or lease of any property or furnishing of services.

                                        3
<PAGE>   6

     In addition to the regulation of the Corporation, Irwin Union Bank is
subject to extensive regulation and periodic examination, principally by the
Indiana Department of Financial Institutions and the Federal Reserve Bank of
Chicago. Irwin Mortgage is subject to audit and examination oversight by the
federal department of Housing and Urban Development as well as the Government
National Mortgage Association, the Federal National Mortgage Association, and
the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation. The insurance subsidiary of the
Corporation and the insurance subsidiary of Irwin Union Bank are dependent upon
state licenses and upon franchise agreements with private corporations for their
continued existence. The reinsurance subsidiary of Irwin Union Bank is subject
to examination by the state of Vermont. The home equity and equipment leasing
subsidiaries of the Corporation are also dependent upon state licenses for their
ability to engage in origination and servicing activities in certain states. The
securities brokerage activities of Irwin Union Bank's registered broker/dealer
are regulated and examined by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the
Indiana Securities Division, the securities divisions of the various states in
which Irwin Union Securities, Inc. operates, and the National Association of
Securities Dealers. The activities of Irwin Union Bank's investment advisor
subsidiary are regulated and examined by the Indiana Securities Division and the
securities divisions of the states in which Irwin Union Advisory Services, Inc.
operates.

is incidental to their regular business activities. In addition to such claims,
the Corporation was involved, as of December 31, 1999, in the following actions:

     Culpepper, et al. v. Inland Mortgage Corporation. As of December 31, 1999,
Irwin Mortgage (previously known as Inland Mortgage Corporation) was a defendant
in a class action lawsuit initiated in the United States District Court,
Northern District of Alabama in April, 1996. This action is one of a number of
"RESPA Section 8" class actions that have been filed against several mortgage
lenders challenging the legality of the payment of broker fees by mortgage
lenders to mortgage brokers. In June, 1999, the District Court certified a
limited class of borrowers. In July, 1999, Irwin Mortgage filed a petition with
the Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit for immediate review of the class
certification order. In September, 1999, the Court agreed to review the District
Court's order. At present, it is impossible to predict the likelihood of an
unfavorable outcome or to establish the possible extent or amount of liability
or potential loss exposure, if any, to which Irwin Mortgage might be exposed.

     Heifets, et al. v. Matrix Electromedical, et al. As of December 31, 1999,
Affiliated Capital Corp. (now, Irwin Leasing Corporation) and Irwin Financial
Corporation were defendants in a class action lawsuit initiated against them in
August, 1998 in the Superior Court of Los Angeles County, California. The suit
alleged that a manufacturer of certain medical devices made misrepresentations
to induce doctors to acquire the devices, which Affiliated Capital Corp.
financed by means of leases. In August, 1999, the trial court dismissed the
plaintiffs' case with prejudice and awarded attorneys' fees to the Irwin
companies. The plaintiffs then appealed. In January, 2000, the plaintiffs agreed
to dismiss their appeal and pay a portion of the Irwin companies' attorneys'
fees. The court of appeals issued an order of dismissal on February 29, 2000.

     Kruta et al. v. Inland Mortgage Corporation. As of December 31, 1999, Irwin
Mortgage was a defendant in a class action lawsuit initiated in the state of
Minnesota in October, 1995 and later assigned to a federal Multidistrict
Litigation Panel in Chicago, Illinois. Plaintiffs allege they represent a
nationwide class of persons who have or had mortgage escrow accounts allegedly
improperly managed by Irwin Mortgage. This case is among a series of class
action cases commenced against a number of mortgage servicers in several states
challenging the practices used in connection with the administration of escrow
accounts for single family residential mortgages. On December 9, 1999, the Court
issued its preliminary approval of a settlement timetable in this case.

     Except as described above, there is no material pending litigation in which
the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries is involved or of which any of their
property is the subject. Furthermore, there is no pending legal proceeding that
is adverse to the Corporation in which any director, officer or affiliate of the
Corporation, or any associate of any such director or officer, is a party, or
has a material interest.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

     During the fourth quarter of 1999, no matters were submitted to a vote of
security holders of the Corporation, through the solicitation of proxies or
otherwise.

     The Corporation expects to continue its policy of paying regular cash
dividends, although there is no assurance as to future dividends because they
are dependent on future earnings, capital requirements, and financial condition.
On February 24, 2000, the Corporation's Board of Directors approved an increase
in the first quarter dividend to $.06 per share, payable in March, 2000.
Dividends paid by Irwin Union Bank to the Corporation are restricted by banking
law.

SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES:

     In July, 1999, the Corporation issued $30 million of 7.58% subordinated
debt, callable in ten years at par, in an institutional private placement. The
proceeds will be used to strengthen the Corporation's capital base.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS

     Management's discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
accompanying consolidated financial statements, footnotes, and tables. This
discussion and other sections of this report contain forward-looking statements
that are based on management's expectations, estimates, projections and
assumptions. Words such as "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "are likely,"
"estimates," "outlook," "assumption," and similar expressions are intended to
identify forward-looking statements, which include but are not limited to
projections of business strategies and future activities. These statements are
not guarantees of future performance and involve uncertainties that are
difficult to predict. Actual future results may differ materially from what is
projected due to a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, unexpected
changes in interest rates or in the economies served by the Corporation,
competition from other financial service providers, unanticipated difficulties
in expanding the Corporation's businesses, availability of appropriate
investment opportunities, legislative or regulatory changes, or governmental
changes in monetary or fiscal policy.

CONSOLIDATED OVERVIEW

     Irwin Financial Corporation's results in 1999 were up significantly from
1998. The Corporation's home equity lending business experienced a significant
improvement in earnings as a result of a more favorable competitive environment
and a reduction in loan prepayment activity. Results at the Corporation's
commercial bank also improved in connection with growth in its commercial loan
portfolio. However, a rising interest rate environment led to a reduction in
loan originations and lower net income at the Corporation's mortgage banking
line of business, partially offsetting the improvements at the Corporation's
other lines of business. Results in 1999 and 1998 include one-time after-tax
gains of $1.1 million and $3.1 million from a change in statutory tax rates and
the sale of the majority of assets of the medical equipment leasing business,
respectively.

OVERVIEW & STRATEGY:

     Irwin Mortgage Corporation originates, sells, and services residential
mortgage loans throughout the U.S. Most of the loans originated and serviced are
either government-insured through the Veterans' Administration (VA) or Federal
Housing Administration (FHA) or conventional loans which conform to the
underwriting guidelines of the two principal government-sponsored agencies which
support the secondary mortgage markets, the Federal National Mortgage
Association (FNMA) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC).

     Mortgage loans are originated through branches (retail), third party
sources (wholesale), and to a limited degree, the Internet. Potential borrowers
are identified principally through relationships maintained with housing
intermediaries including realtors, home builders, and brokers.

     Loans are funded on a short-term basis through credit facilities provided
by commercial banks including Irwin Union Bank. Repurchase agreements with
investment banks are also used. Individual loans are pooled, securitized, and
sold into the secondary mortgage market. Servicing rights are periodically sold
for a variety of reasons including cash flow and servicing portfolio management.

1999 REVIEW:

     Net income from mortgage banking was $23.1 million in 1999, a decrease of
20.1% from 1998 results of $28.9 million and an increase of 8.3% over 1997
results of $21.3 million. Return on average equity was 22.6% in 1999 compared to
31.5% in 1998 and 29.6% in 1997. The 1999 decline was the result of a rising
interest rate environment which slowed production activity throughout the
mortgage banking industry.

</TABLE>

     As a result of rising interest rates, the mortgage banking line of business
experienced a decline in 1999 loan originations as compared to 1998 when a
record number of originations were made in a low interest rate environment. Loan
originations in 1999 of $5.9 billion were down 34.3% from 1998 and up 8.9% from
1997. Income from mortgage loan originations totaled $46.3 million which was
21.9% lower than 1998 and 12.8% more than 1997. Refinances accounted for 28.6%
of 1999 originations as compared to 49.5% in 1998 and 22.5% in 1997. Because
certain fees are not collected for loan refinancings, loan origination fees did
not decrease at the same rate as loan production in 1999.

     Gains from the sale of mortgage loans totaled $43.6 million in 1999,
compared to $55.2 million in 1998 and $22.2 million in 1997. Lower loan
production levels accounted for the 1999 decline.

     In 1997, the mortgage bank entered into the nonprime mortgage market which
is composed of borrowers who do not qualify under the underwriting guidelines
established by the government-sponsored secondary market agencies for conforming
first mortgages. Total mortgage banking originations include $148.8 million,
$173.5 million, and $66.1 million of nonprime loans in 1999, 1998, and 1997,
respectively. These loans are sold on a non-recourse, service-released basis to
private investors.

- -------------------------
* Run-off is the reduction in principal balance of the servicing portfolio due
  to regular principal payments made by mortgagees and early repayment of an
  entire loan.

     The mortgage servicing portfolio was $10.5 billion at December 31, 1999,
down 7.1% from the same date in 1998 and 2.5% from 1997. The mortgage bank has
followed a strategy to manage the interest rate risk associated with the
servicing portfolio by selling servicing rights on those loans that are most
likely to refinance should the interest rates decline. The following table sets
forth certain information regarding the interest rates of loans in the servicing
portfolio at December 31:

     Mortgage servicing assets are recorded at the lower of their cost or market
value, and a valuation allowance is recorded for any impairment. At December 31,
1999, the market value of these assets was estimated to be $180.5 million, or
$47.9 million greater than the carrying value on the balance sheet.

</TABLE>

     Servicing fee income is recognized by collecting fees which normally range
between 25 and 44 basis points annually on the principal amount of the
underlying mortgages. Servicing fee income increased 3.9%

                                       13
<PAGE>   16

from 1998 and 8.1% from 1997, reflecting the increase in the average size of the
servicing portfolio throughout the year.

     The value of mortgage servicing assets must be amortized over their
estimated life and adjusted for impairment which could result from interest rate
changes. The amortization and impairment of servicing assets declined 59.7% from
1998 and 13.2% from 1997. The decline is the result of the rising interest rate
environment during 1999 that slowed prepayments in underlying loans and reduced
impairment levels in mortgage servicing assets. The 1999 improvement in mortgage
servicing asset amortization and impairment was partially offset by
corresponding losses on hedging activities. The mortgage bank used options on
treasury futures to offset the interest rate risk associated with its mortgage
servicing assets. By December 31, 1999, options on the mortgage bank's balance
sheet had expired. In 1999, the mortgage bank recorded a $10.8 million market
loss on options held during the year. This compares with a market gain of $4.3
million recorded in 1998. No gains or losses were recorded in 1997. The mortgage
bank does not satisfy the criteria for "hedge accounting." As a result, options
are accounted for as trading assets, and changes in fair value are adjusted
through earnings as trading gains or losses.

SALE OF MORTGAGE SERVICING:

     The mortgage banking business maintains the flexibility to either sell
servicing for current cash flow or retain servicing for future cash flow. The
decision to sell or retain servicing is based on current market conditions
balanced with the interest rate risk tolerance of the business.

     Servicing totaling $4.7 billion was sold in 1999 generating a $37.8 million
pre-tax gain on those sales. This compares to servicing sales of $4.9 billion in
1998 that produced $43.3 million pre-tax gain and $3.9 billion in 1997 that
produced a $32.6 million pre-tax gain. Had all servicing been retained, gains on
sales of loans would have been higher than what was recorded, with a
corresponding reduction in gains from sales of servicing. Servicing sales in
1999 represented 79.9% of 1999 originations versus 1998 sales which were 54.6%
of that year's originations and 1997 sales which were 71.8% of originations.

NET INTEREST INCOME:

     Net interest income is generated from the interest earned on mortgage loans
before they are sold to investors, less the interest expense incurred on
borrowings to fund the loans. Net interest income totaled $21.7 million in 1999,
compared to $26.2 million in 1998 and $17.6 million in 1997. The 1999 decline
resulted from the decreased loan production during the year.

1997. The decrease reflects the decreased production activities throughout 1999.

2000 OUTLOOK:

     The mortgage bank anticipates a decline in loan production throughout the
mortgage industry in 2000. Interest rates are expected to remain stable, causing
refinance activity to return to normal historic levels.

                                       14
<PAGE>   17

Competitive pricing pressures are expected to increase and significant growth is
expected in the volume of Internet-originated loans.

     The mortgage bank's strategy for competing in this changing environment is
comprised of three components. The first is to grow its loan production
activities through the expansion of retail branches and increased nonprime
production. This includes expansion to new markets that are thought to be
underserved by the mortgage industry and that value the mortgage bank's
service-oriented approach to lending. The second component is to improve profit
margins as a result of an important process improvement initiative undertaken in
1999 for loan production activities. This initiative uses e-commerce to increase
efficiency by allowing the mortgage bank to process, underwrite, and close loans
in a highly automated environment. The final component is to manage servicing
asset impairment risk by continuing with the strategy of selling servicing
rights associated with those loans that are most likely to refinance in the
event of a decline in interest rates.

OVERVIEW & STRATEGY:

     Commercial banking is conducted by Irwin Union Bank and Trust Company. In
recent years, the commercial bank has implemented a growth plan that calls for
expansion into new markets outside of its traditional markets in south-central
Indiana using de novo offices staffed by senior commercial loan officers who
have experience with other commercial banks. As a result, the commercial bank
currently operates in

                                       15
<PAGE>   18

nine counties in Indiana as well as Kalamazoo and Grandville (Grand Rapids),
Michigan; Brentwood (St. Louis), Missouri; and Carson City, Nevada. The
commercial bank's strategy in these and other possible new markets is to
position itself with local management and staff that can provide highly
personalized, flexible service to commercial customers who have been negatively
affected by bank consolidation.

1999 REVIEW:

     Commercial banking net income in 1999 totaled $7.3 million, up 12.9% from
1998 net income of $6.5 million and 31.5% from 1997 net income of $5.6 million.
The return on average equity was 13.89% in 1999 as compared to 15.49% in 1998
and 15.42% in 1997. Results in 1999 reflect the continued growth and expansion
efforts of the commercial bank into new markets.

</TABLE>

- -------------------------
* Reflects what net interest revenue would be if all interest income were
  subject to federal and state income taxes.

     Net interest revenue on a taxable equivalent basis increased 22.8% from
1998 and 40.3% from 1997 to a total of $31.2 million. Net interest revenue is
the product of net interest margin and average earning assets. The 1999
improvement resulted from an increase in the commercial bank's loan portfolio as
a result of its expansion efforts.

     Net interest margin was up for the year, coming in at 4.82% for 1999
compared to 4.75% in 1998 and 4.61% in 1997. This improvement resulted from a
change in mix of the commercial bank's assets in 1999 to a lower percentage of
investments and federal funds sold and a higher percentage of loans.

     Total assets averaged $789.6 million in 1999, compared to $608.0 million in
1998 and $539.2 million in 1997. Average earning assets for the year were $645.8
million, up $111.4 million or 20.8% from 1998 and up $164.1 million or 34.1%
from 1997. The most significant component of the 1999 increase was loans which
were up $138.6 million on average in 1999 as a result of the commercial bank's
expansion efforts into new markets. Average deposits were $619.3 million in
1999, 20.3% higher than 1998 and 33.5% higher than 1997.

     The commercial bank's risk-based assets ratio was 10.0% at December 31,
1999 compared to 10.1% at the end of 1998 and 10.3% at the end of 1997. Banks
having a ratio of at least 10% are considered to be well capitalized by bank
regulatory authorities.

     In 1999, Irwin Financial Corporation commenced offerings under its
Preferred Share Program targeted to investors in new commercial banking markets
who can assist with deposit growth. Approximately 95 thousand shares under this
plan were issued in the first quarter of 2000. More information on this subject

OVERVIEW & STRATEGY:

     Irwin Home Equity operates from offices located in San Ramon, California
and was incorporated in late 1994. The company markets home equity loans through
direct mail, telemarketing, and Internet-based solicitations.

     The business has the option to either hold the loans in portfolio or
securitize and service them. If the loans are held in portfolio, many non
production costs incurred during the period to produce the loans are expensed
immediately, whereas the revenue from the loans accrues over the lives of the
loans. Alternatively, if the loans are securitized and sold on the secondary
market to investors, a portion of the present value of the future net revenues
from the loans will be recognized in the current period, helping to offset the
expenses incurred in producing the loans.

1999 REVIEW:

     The home equity lending business recorded net income of $12.6 million in
1999 compared with a pre-tax loss of $6.7 million in 1998 and pre-tax income of
$1.7 million in 1997. Results in 1999 are net of $2.4 million of income taxes.
It was not until late in 1999 that the net operating losses carried forward by
the business were fully used and the business began recording income tax
expense. Until that point, income taxes for this business were recorded at the
parent company.

     The improvement in 1999 earnings was the result of higher interest rates,
improved competitive environments, and efforts made by the business to shift a
substantial portion of its portfolio to product with less prepayment
sensitivity.

LOAN ORIGINATIONS AND SECURITIZATIONS:

     During 1999, the home equity lending business originated and acquired
$439.5 million of home equity loans, up 12.8% from 1998 volume of $389.7 million
and 104.9% from 1997 volume of $214.5 million. The home equity lending business
had $233.3 million of loans and loans held for sale at December 31, 1999. This
compares to $250.5 million at the end of 1998 and $111.2 million at the end of
1997.

     The business securitized $420.1 million of loans in 1999 which generated a
pre-tax gain of $24.0 million. This compares to a $18.6 million gain recognized
in 1998 on the sale of $294.3 million of loans, and a $15.9 million gain
recognized in 1997 on the sale of $210.1 million of loans.

</TABLE>

     The home equity lending business continues to service loans it has
securitized. The servicing portfolio, which includes loans held on the balance
sheet as well as securitized loans, increased 44.9% from 1998 and 135.2% from
1997. The business earns a servicing fee equal to one percent of the outstanding
principal balance of the securitized loans. Servicing fee income increased to
$4.9 million in 1999 from $3.3 million in 1998 and $2.1 million in 1997.

     The home equity lending business recognizes on its balance sheet a
servicing asset equal to the discounted cash flows of estimated future servicing
income and expense. At December 31, 1999, net servicing assets totaled $4.5
million, compared with $3.1 million at the end of 1998 and $1.3 million at the
end of 1997. Servicing asset amortization and impairment expense totaled $1.4
million in 1999, up from $0.8 million in 1998 and $0.3 million in 1997.

     When the home equity lending business securitizes loans, the business
recognizes an interest-only strip equal to the discounted future cash flows of
the interest paid by borrowers less servicing fees, expected losses, and
interest paid to investors. Interest-only strips had a balance of $57.8 million
at December 31, 1999, compared with $32.3 million at the same date in 1998 and
$22.1 million in 1997. Interest-only strips are recorded on the balance sheet as
trading assets and are carried at their market values. Market values are
determined using assumptions about the duration and performance of the
securitized loans and are calculated on the basis of the expected timing of cash
receipts by the company. Included in these assumptions are estimates of the
lives of the loans, expected losses, and appropriate discount rates. Management
continually evaluates these assumptions to determine the proper carrying values
of these items on the balance sheet. Adjustments to carrying values are recorded
as trading gains or losses. During 1999, the home equity lending business
recorded a trading gain of $2.5 million. This compares with trading losses of
$3.0 million recorded in 1998 and $2.0 million recorded in 1997. The 1999
improvement was the result of the rising interest rate environment combined with
efforts made to shift a substantial portion of the home equity loan portfolio
into product with less prepayment sensitivity.

     At the end of 1999 the company owned rights to excess interest in eight
securitizations. All interest-only strips have been computed by discounting
expected cash flows using a discount rate of 15%. The other assumptions used in
the calculation of carrying value for these interest-only strips at December 31,
1999, were as follows:

NET INTEREST INCOME:

     Net interest income was $18.9 million in 1999, compared to $5.5 million in
1998 and $7.1 million in 1997. Included in interest income is income earned on
the interest-only strip, net of amortization expense. This amounted to $6.5
million in 1999, compared to $0.4 million in 1998 and $1.8 million in 1997.

</TABLE>

     Operating expenses increased 16.2% from 1998 and 77.2% from 1997,
reflecting the growth in the company's managed portfolio and growth in
production.

2000 OUTLOOK:

     The competitive environment became more favorable during 1999 with the exit
of many home equity lenders who did not survive the competitive pressures and
significant refinance activity of 1998. Management anticipates that the
competitive environment will remain favorable, and consumer demand for home
equity products is expected to remain high in 2000, allowing the home equity
business to continue its expansion of operations.

     The home equity business anticipates increasing its loan production volume
in 2000, particularly its high loan-to-value ratio loans. Moreover, distribution
channels will be expanded by the addition of brokers, correspondents and
Internet sites. The home equity business will also continue an initiative begun
in 1999 of purchasing creditworthy, profitable loans produced by other lenders.

EQUIPMENT LEASING

     During 1999, the Corporation also formed a new leasing subsidiary, Irwin
Business Finance. The company began organizing in the second quarter of 1999 and
began lease originations in early 2000. During 1999, the leasing line of
business incurred a pre-tax loss of $0.84 million.

2000 OUTLOOK:

     The leasing industry experienced strong growth in new business volume in
1998 and 1999, and 2000 is expected to continue this trend. However, because of
aggressive competition, margins in the industry have been compressed as lessors
have been slow to increase rates offered to customers despite the rising
interest rate environment.

     Irwin Business Finance has developed a strategy to cultivate relationships
with brokers as well as direct relationships with vendors to originate the
majority of its lease production. The business expects to differentiate itself
from its competition by providing a high level of customer service while
providing new and improved ways of doing business. Additionally, the business
will explore opportunities for the development of direct e-commerce capability.

VENTURE CAPITAL

     During 1999, the Corporation formed Irwin Ventures, Inc., a venture capital
company which makes minority investments in early-stage financial
services-related businesses. Its primary focus is on businesses which plan to
use the Internet, or other forms of technology, as a key component of their
competitive strategy. The company seeks to make investments in opportunities
where the financial services experience and expertise of Irwin Ventures'
management team can add superior value to innovative companies. The
Corporation's Board of Directors has approved an allocation of up to 10% of the
Corporation's capital base to support this subsidiary. During 1999, the venture
capital line of business recorded net income of $0.7 million which resulted
principally from valuation increases in its sole portfolio investment.

                                       21
<PAGE>   24

     Venture capital investments held by Irwin Ventures, Inc. are carried at
market value with changes in market value recognized in other income. The
investment committee of Irwin Ventures determines the value of the investments
at the end of each reporting period and the values are adjusted based upon
review of the investee's financial results, condition, and prospectus. Changes
in estimated market values can also be made when an event such as a new funding
round from other private equity investors would cause a change in estimated
market value. In the future, should the company have investments in
publicly-traded securities, it would look to the traded market value of the
investments as the basis of its mark-to-market.

     At December 31, 1999, the business had an investment in a single company as
follows:

LiveCapital.com.....................................       Private        $1.76 million    $3.07 million
</TABLE>

2000 OUTLOOK:

     Numerous opportunities have arisen in the past few years for
technology-focused private equity investment in the financial service industry.
Irwin Ventures believes this will continue in 2000 as improvements in technology
and entreprenuerial innovation continue to change the manner in which financial
services are delivered to businesses and consumers.

     Irwin Ventures anticipates that its organizational efforts in 1999 will
allow it to identify and fund attractive opportunities in 2000 and beyond. In
early 2000, Irwin Ventures increased its investment in LiveCapital.com by $0.2
million and increased the carrying value of the entire investment by
approximately $4.5 million after-tax, reflecting the valuation used in the
fourth round of funding and the introduction into the investment of three new
private equity investors. In addition, during the first quarter, the company
made a $1.2 million first-round investment in Bremer Associates. Bremer produces
enterprise application integration software, a subset of the general category of
software known as middleware and which provides a seamless integration among
mainframe, client/server, and web-based applications. It has had successful
implementations for the federal government and for a private sector financial
services company. Irwin Ventures was the only private equity investor in the
first round of funding.

OTHER (INCLUDES PARENT, MEDICAL EQUIPMENT LEASING, AND CONSOLIDATING ENTRIES):

     Results at the Corporation's other businesses totaled a net loss of $9.7
million in 1999, compared with net income of $1.8 million in 1998 and a net loss
of $4.2 million in 1997. The components of these other results are as follows:

     Parent company operating losses were higher in 1999 as a result of
increased net interest expense for funding to support the growth of its
subsidiaries. Tax benefits resulting from the operating losses generated by the
home equity line of business were recorded by the parent company until late 1999
when all of the losses carried forward had been used.

     Each subsidiary pays taxes to the parent company at the statutory rate.
Subsidiaries also pay fees to the parent company to cover direct and indirect
services. In addition, services are provided from one subsidiary to

another. Intercompany income and expenses are calculated on an arm's-length,
external market basis and are eliminated in consolidation.

CONSOLIDATED INCOME STATEMENT ANALYSIS

     Pre-tax income for 1999 totaled $52.6 million, up 3.5% from 1998 and 24.8%
from 1997. The effective income tax rate was 37% in 1999, 40.0% in 1998, and
42.0% in 1997. The lower rate in 1999 was the result of a change in the Indiana
Financial Institutions Tax which took effect in 1999. The change in tax law
caused the Corporation's current year income taxes to decline and also resulted
in a reduction in the Corporation's deferred Indiana income tax liability.

     Net interest revenue for 1999 totaled $67.4 million, up 16.4% from 1998 and
38.6% from 1997. The net interest margin was 5.36% in 1999 compared to 4.41% in
1998 and 4.95% in 1997. These improvements were primarily due to a shift in
composition of mortgage loans held for sale from a concentration in first
mortgage loans in 1997 and 1998 to a greater share of higher-yielding second
mortgage loans in 1999.

     The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, a summary of the
changes in interest income and interest expense resulting from changes in volume
and rates for the major components of interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities on a fully taxable equivalent basis.

     The consolidated provision for loan and lease losses for 1999 was $4.4
million, down 25.9% from 1998 and 28.8% from 1997. More information on this
subject is contained in the section on credit risk.

     Other income decreased 6.8% in 1999 to $204.1 million. This compares to
$218.9 million in 1998 and $156.8 million in 1997. Improvements at the
commercial banking and home equity lines of business were offset by declines at
the mortgage bank.

     Other expenses in 1999 totaled $214.1 million, down 3.2% from 1998 and up
34.8% from 1997. The 1999 decrease in consolidated other expense of $7.1 million
was mostly due to lower loan production costs at the mortgage bank, mitigated by
operating expenses associated with higher commercial and home equity loan
production.

CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS

     Total assets at year-end 1999 were $1.68 billion, down 13.6% from 1998 and
up 12.3% from 1997. However, changes in the average balance sheet are a more
accurate reflection of the actual changes in the level of activity on the
balance sheet. Average assets were $1.65 billion in 1999, relatively unchanged
from 1998 and up 30.8% from 1997. Although loans held for sale were down as a
result of the decreased production activities at the Corporation's mortgage
banking line of business, it was partially offset by the increased loan
production at the commercial banking and home equity lines of business.

     The Corporation's commercial loans are extended primarily to midwest
regional businesses. The Corporation also extends credit to consumers through
installment loans and revolving credit arrangements. The majority of the
remaining portfolio consists of residential mortgage loans (1-4 family
dwellings) and mortgage loans on commercial property. Loans by major category at
the end of the last five years were as follows:

     On average, investment securities decreased $4.2 million in 1999 to $44.1
million. The decline resulted from a change at the commercial bank to shift
assets from investment securities to commercial loans. The carrying value of
investments at December 31, 1999 includes $117 thousand of unrealized losses on
available-for-sale securities.

     Deposits averaged $944.6 million during 1999, compared to $878.6 million in
1998 and $691.8 million in 1997. Demand deposits were down 6.2% on average, or
$23.6 million from 1998. A significant portion of demand deposits is related to
deposits at Irwin Union Bank which are associated with escrow accounts held on
loans in the servicing portfolio of Irwin Mortgage. These escrow accounts
averaged $283.9 million in 1999 and $342.2 million in 1998.

     In 1999, the Corporation issued $30 million of subordinated debt securities
which bear interest at a rate of 7.58% and mature in 2014.

CAPITAL

     Shareholders' equity averaged $154.1 million in 1999, up 15.4% from 1998
and 24.8% from 1997. Year-end shareholders' equity of $159.3 million represented
book value per share of $7.55, compared to $6.70 and $5.82 at December 31, 1998
and 1997, respectively. The Corporation paid an aggregate of $4.3 million in
dividends on the Corporation's common stock in 1999, compared to $3.5 million in
1998 and $3.1 million in 1997.

     Prior to the adoption of a new mortgage banking accounting standard in the
second quarter of 1995, mortgage banking accounting did not allow the full value
of mortgage servicing rights to be reflected on the balance sheet. Since a
significant portion of the Corporation's mortgage servicing portfolio was
generated prior to the adoption of the new accounting standard, it represents
substantial economic value which is not recorded on the balance sheet.
Management estimated this value to be approximately $29.0 million after-tax or
$1.37 per share at December 31, 1999. This estimate was based on the market
value of servicing assets related to loans with similar interest rates and
servicing fees. With the implementation of the new accounting standard in 1995,
this off-balance sheet value will decline over future years and eventually be
reduced to zero as the underlying loans pay off, servicing fees are collected,
and the income from servicing the loans is fully accreted into earnings.

     Capital is a major focus of regulatory attention, with both book and
risk-based capital standards used as capital adequacy measures. Unless an
institution has adequate capital in the opinion of the regulators, they may
withhold approval for new activities or force additions to capital. Therefore,
the Corporation considers both the regulators' viewpoint and its own analysis of
the capital structure and leverage amounts that are consistent with underlying
business risks.

     At year-end 1999, the Corporation's total risk-adjusted capital ratio was
13.5% compared to 10.0% which is required to be considered well capitalized by
the regulators. The Corporation's ending equity to assets ratio for 1999 was
9.48%. However, as previously discussed, temporary conditions that existed at
year-end make the average balance sheet ratio a more accurate measure of
capital. The Corporation's average equity to assets for 1999 was 9.33%.

     In July 1999, the Corporation raised $30 million of 7.58%, 15-year
subordinated debt which is callable in 10 years at par, to strengthen and add
flexibility in the management of its capital base. The debt was privately
placed. These funds qualify as Tier 2 capital. The securities are not
convertible into common stock of the Corporation.

     To assist Irwin Union Bank in generating deposits in new markets, Irwin
Financial Corporation initiated a program in 1999 to issue Irwin Financial
non-coupon, convertible preferred shares to certain qualified investors thought
to be in a position to support deposit growth. Under the program, each preferred
share is issued for cash at approximately the market price of one common share.
A preferred share automatically converts into one common share at a determined
future date. If a banking branch reaches a specified level of deposits prior to
the conversion date, the number of common shares into which a preferred share
converts is increased by as much as 25%, depending upon the date on which the
deposit level was attained. A maximum of approximately 400,000 shares of
preferred stock are issuable under the program. Offerings for a portion of these
shares are expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2000.

     In January 1997, the Corporation issued $50 million of 9.25% trust
preferred securities through a trust created and controlled by the Corporation.
The securities have an initial maturity of 30 years with a 19-year extension
option which the Corporation can exercise at any point during the first 30
years. The securities are callable at par after five years, or immediately, in
the event of an adverse tax development affecting the Corporation's
classification of the securities for federal income tax purposes. The securities
are not convertible into common stock of the Corporation.

     In 1999, the Corporation repurchased approximately 800,000 common shares.
Over the past three years repurchases of $46 million of common stock were made
in an effort to restructure capital to reach a more optimal mix between common
equity and less expensive, hybrid forms of capital.

RISK MANAGEMENT

     As a financial intermediary, Irwin Financial Corporation is engaged in
businesses which involve the assumption of financial risks including:

     - Credit risk

     - Liquidity risk

     - Interest rate risk

     Each line of business that assumes financial risk uses a formal process to
manage this risk. In all cases, the objectives are to ensure that risk is
contained within prudent levels and that we are adequately compensated for the
level of risk assumed. The Chairman, the President, and the Chief Financial
Officer of the parent company participate in each subsidiary's risk management
process.

CREDIT RISK

     The assumption of credit risk is a key source of earnings for the
commercial banking and home equity lending lines of business. In addition, the
mortgage banking business assumes some credit risk despite the fact that its
mortgages are typically insured. The credit risk in the loan portfolios of the
commercial bank and the home equity lending business have the most potential to
have a significant effect on consolidated financial performance.

     The commercial bank and home equity lending business manage credit risk
through the use of lending policies, credit analysis and approval procedures,
periodic loan reviews, and personal contact with borrowers. Loans over a certain
size are reviewed by a loan committee prior to approval.

     An allowance for loan losses is established as an estimate of the probable
credit losses on the loans held by the Corporation. A specific allowance is
determined by evaluating those loans which are either substandard or have the
potential to become substandard. In general, commercial loans, mortgage loans,
and leases are evaluated individually. Consumer loans, including home equity
loans, are generally evaluated as a group. A specific allowance is set at a
level which management considers sufficient to cover probable losses on these
loans. A general allowance is determined by analyzing historical loss experience
by loan type and then adjusting these loss factors for current conditions not
reflected in prior experience. The allowance for loan losses is an estimate
which is based on management's judgement combined with a quantitative process of
evaluation and analysis.

     Loans and leases that are determined by management to be uncollectible are
charged against the allowance. The allowance is increased by provisions against
income and recoveries of loans and leases previously charged off. The table on
page 29 analyzes the consolidated allowance for loan and lease losses over the
past five years.

     Net charge-offs in 1999 were $1.7 million, down 11.1% from 1998, and 33.7%
from 1997. Net charge-offs to average loans and leases was 0.27% compared to
0.33% in 1998 and 0.46% in 1997. At year-end, the allowance for loan and lease
losses was 1.17% of outstanding loans and leases, compared to 1.78% in 1998 and
1.44% in 1997.

     Total nonperforming loans and leases at year-end were $4.3 million,
compared to $11.7 million at the end of 1998 and $7.7 million at the end of
1997. Nonperforming loans and leases as a percent of total loans and leases were
0.59% at year-end 1999 compared to 2.11% in 1998 and 1.26% in 1997. The 1999
decline occurred primarily at the Corporation's mortgage bank in connection with
a change in the classification of nonperforming loans to the "loans held for
sale" category to more accurately reflect management's intent with respect to
the ultimate disposition of these assets. These loans are carried at the lower
of their cost or market value. Any impairment provision is recorded through the
markdown of the loans to their market value.

     Other real estate owned totaled $3.8 million at December 31, 1999, up from
$3.5 million in 1998 and $1.8 in 1997. Total nonperforming assets were $8.1
million, or 0.48% of total assets at December 31, 1999, as compared to $15.4
million, or 0.78%, at year-end 1998 and $9.5 million, or 0.64% at the end of
1997.

</TABLE>

     No loan concentrations existed of more than 10% of total loans to borrowers
engaged in similar activities that would be similarly affected by economic or
other conditions.

     Generally, the accrual of income is discontinued when the full collection
of principal or interest is in doubt, or when the payment of principal or
interest has become contractually 90 days past due unless the obligation is both
well secured and in the process of collection.

LIQUIDITY

     Liquidity is the availability of funds to meet the daily requirements of
the business. For financial institutions, demand for funds comes principally
from extensions of credit and withdrawal of deposits. Liquidity is provided by
asset maturities or sales and through short-term borrowings.

     The objectives of liquidity management are to ensure that funds will be
available to meet demands and that funds are available at a reasonable cost. As
with other forms of financial risk, liquidity is managed separately at each of
the Corporation's lines of business.

                                       30
<PAGE>   33

     Since loans are less marketable than securities, the ratio of total loans
to total deposits is the traditional measure of liquidity for banks and bank
holding companies. At year-end 1999, this ratio was 84.3%. The Corporation is
able to maintain this position due to the position in mortgage loans held for
sale. These loans carry an interest rate equal to the current market rate for
first and second lien mortgage loans. However, liquidity is significantly
improved since nearly all mortgage loans held for sale are in the process of
being securitized and sold. The holding period for an individual loan typically
does not exceed 90 days.

INTEREST RATE RISK

     Interest rate risk refers to the potential for changes in market rates of
interest to cause changes in net interest income and in the market value of
assets and liabilities.

     The Asset-Liability Management Committees of each of the Corporation's
lines of business monitor the repricing structure of both assets and liabilities
over various time horizons and exposure to changes in interest rates is
evaluated by modeling the repricing characteristics of the instruments under
multiple rate scenarios. Rate sensitivities can typically be managed by
controlling the maturity of loans, securities, and deposits and through the use
of prepayment penalties. The Corporation may also use financial futures or
interest rate swaps from time to time.

     The commercial banking and leasing lines of business assume interest rate
risk in the pricing of their loan and lease products and mitigate this risk by
managing the duration of the liabilities they raise to support their portfolios.
The mortgage banking business assumes interest rate sensitivity by entering into
commitments to extend loans to borrowers at a fixed price for a limited period
of time. Loans are held temporarily until a pool is formed. The mortgage bank
buys commitments to deliver loans at a fixed price to manage risk.

     The mortgage bank and the home equity company are also exposed to interest
rate risk through their ownership of servicing assets and excess servicing. As
discussed in the analysis of each line of business earlier in this report, the
companies also manage their risk using a variety of techniques including:
maintaining a strong production operation which offsets the interest rate risk,
selective sales of the servicing rights, match funded through asset-backed
securities sales, and the use of financial hedges. In some cases, the
Corporation uses internal hedges to allow for the risk characteristics of one
line of business to offset those of another line.

     The following tables show management's estimate of the present value of
interest-sensitive assets and liabilities, as well as off-balance sheet
financial contracts as of December 31, 1999, at then current interest rates as
well as simulated rates 1.0% and 2.0% above and below those interest rates. Two
tables are presented:

     1. An economic analysis showing the net present value impact of changes in
        interest rates, and

     2. An accounting analysis showing the same net present value impact,
        adjusted for the expected GAAP treatment of the assets and liabilities
        under the scenarios shown.

     The analyses do not take into account the book values of the Corporation's
non-interest sensitive assets and liabilities, such as cash, accounts
receivable, and fixed assets, the value of which is not directly determined by
interest rates.

     As noted above, the analyses are based on discounted cash flows over the
remaining estimated lives of the financial instruments. The total measurement of
the Corporation's exposure to interest rate risk as presented in the following
tables may not be representative of the actual values which might result from a
higher or lower rate environment. Such environments would likely result in
different lending and borrowing strategies by the Corporation, designed in part
to further mitigate the effect on the value of, and the net earnings generated
from, the Corporation's net assets. In addition, they do not reflect activities
not traditionally measured as financial assets or liabilities. Principal among
these activities for the Corporation would be the change in mortgage loan
production and the earnings stream the Corporation derives therefrom.

ECONOMIC VALUE CHANGE METHOD

     The figures suggest, based on an economic assessment of balance sheet and
off-balance sheet financial assets and before any initiatives to mitigate the
impact of changing interest rates, that the present value of the
                                       31
<PAGE>   34

Corporation's interest-sensitive assets and liabilities would decline in a
falling rate environment principally due to the Corporation's investments in
mortgage servicing rights, and would also decline in a rising rate environment
due to the influence of its loan portfolio. To mitigate the impact of rising
rates, the Corporation periodically sells certain mortgage servicing rights
where the risk profile indicates more downside risk than upside opportunity. The
Corporation mitigates the risk of falling rates by maintaining a strong
production operation which increases in value as interest rates fall.

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

     The Corporation hedges its interest rate risk on mortgage loans held for
sale using mandatory commitments to sell the loans at a future date. The value
of mortgage servicing assets is periodically hedged using options on treasury
futures. At December 31, 1999, all such options had expired. Certain of the
Corporation's interest-only strips are hedged using interest rate caps which had
a fair value of $1.2 million at December 31, 1999, and a notional amount of
$50.0 million. Options on treasury futures and interest rate caps are classified
as trading securities on the balance sheet and carried at their market values.
Adjustments to market values are recorded as trading gains or losses on the
income statement. In 1999, the Corporation recorded $8.2 million of net trading
losses related to these derivative products, compared with $1.4 million in gains
in 1998. No gains or losses were reported in 1997.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Management Report on Responsibility for Financial Reporting

     The management of Irwin Financial Corporation and its subsidiaries has the
responsibility of preparing the accompanying financial statements and for their
integrity and objectivity. The statements were prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles and are not misstated due to material
fraud or error. The financial statements include amounts that are based on
management's best estimates and judgments. Management also prepared the other
information in the annual report and is responsible for its accuracy and
consistency with the financial statements.

     The Corporation's financial statements have been audited by
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, independent certified public accountants elected by
the shareholders. Management has made available to PricewaterhouseCoopers all
the Corporation's financial records and related data, as well as the minutes of
stockholders' and directors' meetings. Furthermore, management believes that all
representations made to PricewaterhouseCoopers during its audit were valid and
appropriate.

     Management of the Corporation has established and maintains a system of
internal control that provides reasonable assurance as to the integrity and
reliability of the financial statements, the protection of assets from
unauthorized use or disposition, and the prevention and detection of fraudulent
financial reporting. Assessments of the system of internal control are based on
criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting described in
"Internal Control-Integrated Framework" issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Management continually monitors the
system of internal control for compliance. The Corporation maintains a strong
internal auditing program that independently assesses the effectiveness of the
internal controls and recommends possible improvements thereto. In addition, as
part of its audit of the Corporation's financial statements,
PricewaterhouseCoopers completed an assessment of selected internal accounting
controls to establish a basis for reliance thereon in determining the nature,
timing, and extent of audit tests to be applied. Management has considered the
internal auditor's and PricewaterhouseCoopers' recommendations concerning the
Corporation's system of internal control and has taken actions to respond
appropriately to these recommendations that we believe are cost effective in the
circumstances. Management believes that the Corporation's system of internal
control is adequate to accomplish the objectives discussed herein.

     Management also recognized its responsibility for fostering a strong
ethical climate so that the Corporation's affairs are conducted according to the
highest standards of personal and corporate conduct. This responsibility is
characterized and reflected in the Corporation's Guiding Philosophy, which is
publicized throughout the Corporation. This responsibility is also reflected in
the individual Codes of Conduct of each major operating subsidiary. These Codes
of Conduct address, among other things, the necessity of ensuring open
communication within the Corporation; potential conflicts of interests;
compliance with all domestic and foreign laws, including those related to
financial disclosures; and a confidentiality of proprietary information. The
Corporation maintains a systematic program to assess compliance with these
policies.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
Irwin Financial Corporation
Columbus, Indiana

     In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the
related consolidated statements of income, of changes in shareholders' equity
and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Irwin Financial Corporation and its subsidiaries at December 31,
1999 and 1998, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999, in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management;
our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with
auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, which require that
we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for the opinion expressed above.

NOTE 1 -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     Consolidation: Irwin Financial Corporation and its subsidiaries (the
Corporation), provide financial services throughout the United States. The
Corporation is engaged in the mortgage banking, commercial banking, home equity
lending, equipment leasing, and venture capital lines of business. Intercompany
balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

     Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires the Corporation to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.

     Securities: Those securities which the Corporation has the positive intent
and ability to hold until maturity are classified as "held-to-maturity" and are
stated at cost adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount.
Securities that might be sold prior to maturity are classified as
"available-for-sale" and are stated at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses,
net of the future tax impact, are reported as a separate component of
shareholders' equity until realized. Investment gains and losses are based on
the adjusted cost of the specific security.

     Trading Assets: Trading assets are stated at fair value. Unrealized gains
and losses are included in earnings. Included in trading assets are interest
only strips. Market values for interest-only strips are determined using
assumptions about the duration and performance of the securitized loans and are
calculated on the basis of the expected timing of cash receipts by the company.
Included in these assumptions are estimates of the lives of the loans, expected
losses, and appropriate discount rates. Management continually evaluates these
assumptions to determine the proper carrying values of these items on the
balance sheet. Adjustments to carrying values are recorded as trading gains or
losses.

     Loans Held For Sale: Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost
or market, determined on an aggregate basis for both performing and
nonperforming loans. Market value is determined by outstanding commitments or by
current investor yield requirements.

     Loans: Loan origination fees and costs are deferred and the net amounts are
amortized as an adjustment to yield. When loans are sold, deferred fees and
costs are included with outstanding principal balances to determine gains or
losses. Interest income on loans is computed daily based on the principal amount
of loans outstanding. The accrual of interest income is discontinued when a loan
becomes 90 days past due as to principal or interest. Management may elect to
continue the accrual of interest when the estimated net realizable value of
collateral is sufficient to cover the principal balance and accrued interest.

     Direct Financing Leases: Interest and service charges, net of initial
direct costs, are deferred and reported as income in decreasing amounts over the
life of the lease, which averages three to four years, so as to provide an
approximate constant yield on the outstanding principal balance.

     Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses: The allowance for loan and lease
losses is maintained at a level considered adequate to provide for loan and
lease losses and is based on management's evaluation of expected losses in the
portfolio. Loans are considered impaired if it is probable that the Corporation
will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when
due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The measurement of
impaired loans is generally based on the present value of expected future cash
flows discounted at the historical effective interest rate, except that all
collateral-dependent loans are measured for impairment based on the fair value
of the collateral.

     Servicing Assets: When the Corporation securitizes loans, it retains
servicing assets and interest-only strips. A portion of the cost of originating
a loan is allocated to the servicing asset and interest-only strip based on
their fair values relative to the loan as a whole. The Corporation uses the
market prices under comparable servicing sale contracts, when available, or
alternatively uses a valuation model that calculates the present value of future
cash flows to determine the fair value of the servicing assets. In using this
valuation method, the Corporation incorporates assumptions that it is believed
market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income which
include estimates of the cost of servicing per loan, the discount rate, float
value, an

                                       44
<PAGE>   47

inflation rate, ancillary income per loan, prepayment speeds, and default rates.
Servicing assets are amortized over the estimated lives of the related loans,
which are grouped based on loan characteristics, in proportion to estimated net
servicing income.

     In determining servicing value impairment at the end of the year, the
servicing portfolio was disaggregated into its predominant risk characteristics.
The Corporation has determined those risk characteristics to be interest rate,
loan type and investor type. These segments of the portfolio were valued, using
market prices under comparable servicing sale contracts, when available, or
alternatively, using the same model as was used to originally determine the fair
value at origination, using current market assumptions. The calculated value was
then compared with the book value of each segment to determine the required
reserve for impairment. It is reasonably possible that a change in the
impairment reserve will occur in the near term. No reasonable estimate can be
made of the range of amounts of loss or gain.

     Derivative Instruments: The Corporation uses derivative instruments to
offset changes in the value of servicing assets and interest-only strips.
Derivative instruments on the Corporation's balance sheet are classified as
trading assets and carried at market value. Changes in market value are recorded
as trading gains or losses on the income statement. The Corporation uses forward
contracts to reduce its interest rate exposure on mortgage loans held for sale
and on the pipeline of loan applications in process. Gains and losses associated
with these contracts are deferred and included in the determination of gain or
loss on ultimate sale of the loans, or expensed when it becomes evident the loan
sale will not occur.

     On June 15, 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities" (SFAS No. 133). SFAS No. 133 requires that
all derivative instruments be recorded on the balance sheet at their fair value.
Changes in the fair value of derivatives will be recorded each period in current
earnings or other comprehensive income, depending on whether a derivative is
designated as part of a hedge transaction and, if it is, the type of hedge
transaction. In June 1999, the FASB issued SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities -- Deferral of the Effective Date
of FASB Statement No. 133," deferring its effective date to fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2000. The Corporation will adopt SFAS 133 on January 1,
2001. The Corporation has not quantified the impact of this statement on its
financial position or results of operations.

     Premises and Equipment: Premises and equipment are recorded at cost.
Depreciation is determined by the straight-line method.

     Venture Capital Investments: Venture capital investments held by Irwin
Ventures, Inc. are carried at market value with changes in market value
recognized in other income. The investment committee of Irvin Ventures
determines the value of the investments at the end of each reporting period and
the values are adjusted based upon review of the investee's financial results,
condition, and prospectus. Changes in estimated market values can also be made
when an event such as a new funding round from other private equity investors
would cause a change in estimated market value. In the future, should the
company have investments in publicly-traded securities, it would look to the
traded market value of the investments as the basis of its mark-to-market.

     Earnings Per Share: In 1997, the Corporation adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" (SFAS No. 128). Under this
standard, earnings per share are calculated as "basic" and "diluted" based on
the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year.

     Income Taxes: A consolidated tax return is filed for all eligible entities.
Deferred income taxes are computed using the liability method which establishes
a deferred tax asset or liability based on temporary differences between the tax
basis of an asset or liability and the basis recorded in the financial
statements. Rehabilitation tax credits and low-income housing tax credits are
recorded as a reduction to the provision for federal income taxes in the year
the eligible buildings are placed in service.

     Cash and Cash Equivalents Defined: For purposes of the statement of cash
flows, the Corporation considers cash and due from banks to be cash equivalents.

     Reclassifications: Certain amounts in the 1998 and 1997 consolidated
financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 1999 presentation.

NOTE 2 -- RESTRICTIONS ON CASH AND INTEREST-BEARING DEPOSITS WITH FINANCIAL
          INSTITUTIONS

     Irwin Union Bank and Trust Company is required to maintain a reserve
balance with the Federal Reserve Bank. The amount of the reserve balance at
December 31, 1999 was $8.1 million. Additionally, the Corporation is required to
maintain reserve funds in connection with its loan securitization activities.
Included in interest-bearing deposits with financial institutions at December
31, 1999 is $672 thousand of these reserve funds.

NOTE 11 -- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     In the normal course of business, Irwin Financial Corporation and its
subsidiaries are subject to various claims and other pending and possible legal
actions.

     As of December 31, 1999, Irwin Mortgage Corporation (IMC) was a defendant
in class action lawsuits relating to the following: IMC's administration of
mortgage escrow accounts and IMC's right to pay broker fees to mortgage brokers.
At present, it is not possible for the Corporation to predict the likelihood of
an unfavorable outcome or to establish the possible extent or amount of
liability or potential exposure with respect to this litigation.

     As of December 31, 1998, Irwin Leasing Corporation (ILC) and Irwin
Financial Corporation were defendants in a class action lawsuit alleging
misrepresentations by a manufacturer of certain equipment financed by ILC. The
parties agreed to settle this matter in January, 2000 and the court issued an
order of dismissal in February, 2000.

NOTE 12 -- FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK

     The Corporation is party to certain financial instruments with off-balance
sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financial needs of its
customers and to reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates.
These financial instruments include loan commitments, standby letters of credit,
and forward commitments relating to mortgage banking activities. Those
instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate
risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheet.

     The Corporation's exposure to credit loss, in the event of nonperformance
by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit
and standby letters of credit, is represented by the contractual amount of those
instruments. The collateral pledged for standby letters of credit and
commitments varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property,
plant, and equipment, and residential real estate. Total outstanding commitments
to extend credit at December 31, 1999, were $266.2 million. These loan
commitments include $172.8 million of floating rate loan commitments and $93.4
million of fixed rate loan commitments related to commercial and mortgage
banking activities. The Corporation had approximately $13.6 million and $14.2
million in irrevocable standby letters of credit outstanding at December 31,
1999 and 1998, respectively.

     Forward commitments are used in mortgage banking activities to offset the
interest rate risk associated with mortgage loan commitments and loans held for
sale. The contract amount for forward contracts does not represent exposure to
credit loss. Forward commitments related to mortgage banking activities were
$255.3 million and $810.5 million at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

     Derivative instruments are used periodically to offset changes in the value
of servicing assets against the effects of increased prepayment activity that
generally results from declining interest rates. To the extent that interest
rates increase, the value of servicing assets increases while the value of these
instruments declines. The Corporations's servicing asset derivative instruments
all had expired as of December 31, 1999.

     Derivative instruments are also used to offset changes in the value of
interest-only strips. Interest rate caps are used when interest is received on
fixed rate securitized loans and the resulting security pays interest at

                                       51
<PAGE>   54

a variable rate. As interest rates change, the values of the interest-only
strips and interest rate caps move in opposite directions. At December 31, 1999,
the carrying value of the interest rate caps was $1.2 million and the notional
amount was $50.0 million.

NOTE 13 -- REGULATORY MATTERS

     The Corporation and its bank subsidiary, Irwin Union Bank (IUB), are
subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal
and state banking agencies. Under capital adequacy guidelines, the Corporation
and IUB must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures
of their assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated
under regulatory accounting practices. The Corporation's and IUB's capital
amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgements by the
regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

     Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy
require the Corporation and IUB to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set
forth in the following table) of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the
regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and Tier I capital to average
assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 1999, that the
Corporation and IUB met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are
subject.

     As of December 31, 1999, the Corporation and IUB were categorized as well
capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be
categorized as well capitalized the Corporation and IUB must significantly
exceed minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based, and Tier I capital to
average assets ratios. There have been no conditions or events that management
believes have changed this category.

NOTE 14 -- FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

     Fair value estimates, methods, and assumptions are set forth below for the
Corporation's financial instruments:

     Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amounts reported in the balance
sheet for cash and cash equivalents approximate those assets' fair values.

     Interest-bearing deposits with financial institutions, loans, servicing
assets, deposit liabilities, short-term borrowings, long-term debt, and
company-obligated mandatorily redeemable preferred securities of subsidiary
trust: The fair values were estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using
interest rates currently being offered for like assets with similar terms, to
borrowers with similar credit quality, and for the same remaining maturities.

     Trading assets: The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for
trading assets approximate those assets' fair values.

                                       53
<PAGE>   56

     Investment securities: Fair values for investment securities were based on
quoted market prices when available. For securities which had no quoted market
prices, fair values were estimated by discounting future cash flows using
current rates on similar securities.

     Loans held for sale: Fair values for loans held for sale are based on
current market prices for loans with similar terms to borrowers with similar
credit quality.

     Forward contract commitments: The unrealized gains and losses of forward
contract commitments is based on the difference between the settlement values of
those commitments and the quoted market values of the underlying securities.

     The estimated fair values of the Corporation's financial instruments at
December 31, are as follows:

</TABLE>

     The fair value estimates consider relevant market information when
available. Because no market exists for a significant portion of the
Corporation's financial instruments, fair value estimates are determined based
on present value of estimated cash flows and consider various factors, including
current economic conditions and risk characteristics of certain financial
instruments. Changes in factors, or the weight assumed for the various factors,
could significantly affect the estimated values.

     The fair value estimates are presented for existing on- and off-balance
sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of the
Corporation's long-term relationships with depositors and the benefit that
results from the low cost funding provided by deposit liabilities. In addition,
significant assets which were not considered financial instruments and were
therefore not a part of the fair value estimates include lease receivables, and
premises and equipment.

NOTE 15 -- COMPANY-OBLIGATED MANDATORILY REDEEMABLE PREFERRED SECURITIES OF
           SUBSIDIARY TRUST

     In January 1997, the Corporation issued $50.0 million of trust preferred
securities through IFC Capital Trust I, a trust created and controlled by the
Corporation. The securities were issued at $25 per share with a cumulative
dividend rate of 9.25%, payable quarterly. They have an initial maturity of 30
years with a 19-year extension option. The securities are callable at par after
five years, or immediately, in the event of an adverse tax development affecting
the Corporation's classification of the securities for federal income tax
purposes. They are not convertible into common stock of the Corporation. The
securities are shown on the balance sheet net of capitalized issuance costs.

                                       54
<PAGE>   57

     The sole assets of IFC Capital Trust I are subordinated debentures of the
Corporation with a principal balance of $51.5 million, an interest rate of
9.25%, and an initial maturity of 30 years with a 19-year extension option.

NOTE 16 -- SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

     The board of directors of the Corporation approved a two-for-one stock
split May 27, 1998. Previously reported shares and per share data have been
changed to reflect these splits.

     The Corporation has a stock plan to compensate Directors of the Corporation
with the Corporation's common stock, if so elected, in lieu of cash for their
annual retainer and meeting fees. The number of shares issued under the plan is
based on the current market value of the Corporation's common stock. The
Corporation also has an employee stock purchase plan for all qualified
employees. The plan provides for employees to purchase common stock through
payroll deduction at approximately 85% of the current market value.

     The Corporation has three stock option plans (established in 1997, 1992,
and 1986) which provide for the issuance of 4,280,000 shares of non-qualified
and incentive stock options. The exercise price of each option, which has a
ten-year life and a vesting period of four years beginning the year granted, is
equal to the market price of the Corporation's stock on the grant date. Vested
outstanding stock options have been considered as common stock equivalents in
the computation of diluted earnings per share.

     Activity in the above plans for 1999, 1998, and 1997 is summarized as
follows (adjusted for the two-for-one stock split on May 27, 1998):

     The fair value of each option was estimated to be $10.97, $12.25, and $6.35
on the date of the grant using the binomial option-pricing model with the
following assumptions for 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively: risk free interest
rates of 5.20%, 5.85%, and 6.89%; dividend yield of 0.83% for 1999 and 1.00% for
1998 and 1997; and volatility of .287 for 1999 and .250 for 1998 and 1997. As of
December 31, 1999, 1,327,890 options were outstanding under these plans with
exercise prices that range between $1.26 and $28.56 and a remaining
weighted-average contractual life of 6.00 years.

                              RESOLUTIONS REGARDING
                           ELECTION TO BE GOVERNED BY
                    THE NEW INDIANA BUSINESS CORPORATION LAW



WHEREAS, the Indiana General Assembly has recently adopted new statutory
provisions governing business corporations, known as the Indiana Business
Corporation Law ("New Statute"); and

WHEREAS, the New Statute generally applies to all Indiana corporations after
July 31, 1987; although a corporation's board of directors may elect to have the
New Statute apply earlier by adopting and filing a resolution electing to have
the New Statute apply to that corporation; and

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors has carefully considered a summary and
presentation of significant provisions of the New Statute prepared by counsel to
the Corporation; and

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors has determined that it is in the best interests
of the Corporation to cause the New Statute to apply to the Corporation prior to
August 1, 1987, for the following reasons, among others;

(1) The New Statute provides greater flexibility in corporate governance and
thereby reduces the time and expense required to ensure compliance with state
law;

(2) The New Statute provides the Corporation with an increased opportunity to
recruit and retain qualified directors by providing them greater protection
against potential liability;

(3) The New Statute provides the Corporation with greater protection against
vexatious or groundless derivative suits, while protecting the rights of
shareholders to pursue meritorious derivative claims; and

(4) The New Statute provides the Corporation with greater protection against the
misuse of information obtained upon inspection by shareholders of corporate
records.

THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of Directors hereby elects to have the
New Statute (in particular, Ind. Code 23-1-18 through 23-1-54, excluding Ind.
Code 23-1-18-3, 23-1-21 and 23-1-53-3) apply to the Corporation on and after
June 24, 1986;

RESOLVED FURTHER, that the President, any Vice President, Secretary and
Treasurer, and each of them, be, and hereby are, authorized and directed to (1)
file the foregoing resolution in the Office of the Secretary of State of Indiana
and (2) take any and all additional action as may be deemed necessary or
desirable to implement the foregoing resolution.

         at the option of the Corporation, out of the assets of the Corporation
         legally available therefor, at any time or from time to time, in whole
         and not in part, at a redemption price per share of Series A Preferred

         more than 90 days prior to the Redemption Date. Such notice shall set
         forth the manner in which shareholders may convert their Series A

                  (c) Unless the Corporation defaults in the payment in full of
         the Redemption Price, (i) all rights of the holders of such Series A
         Preferred Shares as shareholders of the Corporation by reason of the

         convert the Series A Preferred Shares into Common Shares) shall cease
         on the Redemption Date except the right to receive the amount payable
         upon redemption of such shares upon presentation and surrender of the

         canceled.

                  (e) Any notice required by the provisions of this Section 3 to

         4. Conversion Rights. The Series A Preferred Shares shall be
convertible into Common Shares as follows:

                  (a) No Optional Conversion. Other than pursuant to a
         redemption of the Series A Preferred Shares as set forth in Section 3
         above, the holders of Series A Preferred Shares shall have no optional
         rights to convert such shares into Common Shares.

                  (b) Automatic Conversion. Each Series A Preferred Share shall
         be automatically converted, without any further act of the Corporation
         or the holders of Series A Preferred Shares, into fully paid and
         nonassessable Common Shares in the manner and at the times specified
         below:

                           (i) Second Anniversary after Start Date. If the
                  Deposit Goal is met prior to twenty-four (24) months from the
                  Start Date, (A) the date of the automatic conversion into
                  Common Shares shall be twenty-seven (27) months after the
                  Start Date, and (B) each Series A Preferred Share shall
                  automatically be converted into 1.25 Common Shares. If the
                  Deposit Goal has not been met prior to twenty-four (24) months
                  from the Start Date, the Series A Preferred Shares will not be
                  converted into Common Shares until after the third anniversary
                  of the Start Date.

                           (ii) Third Anniversary after Start Date. If the
                  conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares into Common Shares
                  has not previously taken place within thirty-six (36) months
                  after the Start Date, then, thirty-nine (39) months after the
                  Start Date, each outstanding Series A Preferred Share shall
                  automatically be converted into (A) 1.10 Common Shares if the
                  Deposit Goal has been met prior to the end of thirty-six (36)
                  months after the Start Date, and (B) 1.02 Common Shares if the
                  Deposit Goal has not been met prior to the end of thirty-six
                  (36) months after the Start Date.

                           (iii) Determination of Whether Deposit Goal Has Been
                  Met. The Deposit Goal shall have been met prior to a specified
                  date if the average deposits at the Bank on behalf of the
                  Banking Office for any calendar quarter prior to such date
                  equal or exceed $34,000,000. For the purposes of determining
                  whether the Deposit Goal has been met, the corporation will
                  follow the following procedures:

                                    Deposits: For the purpose of making the
                           Deposit Goal calculations, "deposits" means the book
                           balances of all accounts which are insurable by the
                           Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (such as
                           demand, savings, time, money market and NOW accounts
                           and certificates of deposit), including the balances
                           in such accounts in excess of $100,000; provided,
                           however, that certificates of deposit shall be
                           included in the total amount of deposits only to the
                           extent that they do not exceed 10% of total deposits.

                                       67

                                    Credit for Deposits: The specific banking
                           office at which a deposit account is opened receives
                           the credit for the account; provided, however, that
                           if the Banking Office is not authorized to accept
                           deposits or has not yet opened for business, a
                           deposit account may be established at another banking
                           office on behalf of the Banking Office if designated
                           as such. The Bank's accounting system tracks and
                           accounts for all depository accounts on a daily
                           basis.

                                    Calendar Quarter Average: After a calendar
                           quarter has expired, the Bank will calculate the
                           calendar quarter average of deposits for accounts
                           designated as gathered on behalf of the Banking
                           Office by adding the sum of the daily general ledger
                           balance for such deposits and then dividing this sum
                           by the number of days in the calendar quarter.

                  All determinations regarding whether the Deposit Goal has been
                  met as of any date shall be made by the Board of Directors of
                  the Corporation, whose determinations in this regard shall be
                  final and conclusive for all purposes.

                  (c) Mechanics of Conversion. Upon the occurrence of the dates
         specified in Section 4(b) above, the outstanding Series A Preferred
         Shares shall be converted automatically without any further action by
         the holders of such shares and whether or not the certificates
         representing such shares are surrendered to the Corporation or its
         transfer agent; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be
         obligated to issue to any holder certificates evidencing the Common
         Shares issuable upon such conversion unless certificates evidencing the
         Series A Preferred Shares are delivered either to the Corporation or
         any transfer agent designated by the Corporation. Conversion shall be
         deemed to have been effected on the date of the occurrence of the dates
         specified in Section 4(b) above, as the case may be, and such date is
         referred to herein as the "Conversion Date." Subject to the provisions
         of Section 4(b) above, as promptly as practicable thereafter (and after
         surrender of the certificate or certificates representing the Series A
         Preferred Shares to the Corporation or any transfer agent designated by
         the Corporation), the Corporation shall issue and deliver to such
         holder a certificate or certificates for the number of full Common
         Shares to which such holder is entitled as provided in Section 4(b)
         hereof. Subject to the provisions of Section 4(b), the person in whose
         name the certificate or certificates for Common Shares are to be issued
         shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such Common Shares
         on the applicable Conversion Date.

                  (d) Fractional Shares. No fractional Common Shares or scrip
         shall be issued upon conversion of Series A Preferred Shares. In lieu
         of any fractional Common Shares which would otherwise be issuable upon
         conversion of any Series A Preferred Shares, the number of full Common
         Shares issuable upon conversion thereof shall be increased to the next
         higher number of whole shares.

                  (e) Rights After Conversion Date. From and after the
         Conversion Date (unless the Corporation defaults in issuing Common
         Shares in

                                       68

<PAGE>   69

         conversion for the outstanding Series A Preferred Shares on the
         Conversion Date), such Series A Preferred Shares shall be deemed
         not to be outstanding and all rights of the holders of such shares as
         Shareholders of the Corporation by reason of the ownership of such
         shares shall cease, except the right to receive Common Shares as
         provided in Section 4(b) herein on presentation and surrender of the
         respective certificates evidencing such Series A Preferred Shares. Upon
         presentation and surrender, on or after the Conversion Date, of any
         certificate evidencing Series A Preferred Shares (properly endorsed or
         assigned for transfer, if the Corporation shall so require), such
         shares shall be converted by the Corporation for Common Shares as
         provided in this Section 4.

                  (f) Authorized, But Unissued Shares. Any Series A Preferred
         Shares that shall at any time have been converted into Common Shares
         pursuant to this Section 4 shall, after such conversion become
         authorized but unissued Preferred Shares of the Corporation, and the
         certificates evidencing such shares shall be canceled.

                  (g) Reservation of Shares. The Corporation shall reserve at
         all times so long as any Series A Preferred Shares remain outstanding,
         free from preemptive rights, out of its treasury shares or its
         authorized but unissued Common Shares, or both, solely for the purpose
         of effecting the conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares,
         sufficient Common Shares to provide for the conversion of all
         outstanding Series A Preferred Shares.

                  (h) Fully Paid and Nonassessable Shares. All Common Shares or
         other securities which may be issued upon conversion of the Series A
         Preferred Shares will upon issuance by the Corporation be duly and
         validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes,
         liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof and the
         Corporation shall take no action which would cause a contrary result.

         5. Conversion Ratio Adjustments. The number of Common Shares into which
the Series A Preferred Shares shall be converted pursuant to Section 4 (the
"Conversion Ratios") and the securities or other property deliverable upon
conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares shall be subject to adjustment from
time to time as follows:

                  (a) Share Subdivisions or Split-Ups. If the number of Common
         Shares outstanding at any time after the date of issuance of the Series
         A Preferred Shares is increased by a subdivision or split-up of Common
         Shares, then immediately after the record date fixed for the
         determination of holders of Common Shares entitled to receive such
         subdivision or split-up, as the case may be, the Conversion Ratios
         shall be appropriately increased so that the holder of any Series A
         Preferred Shares thereafter converted shall be entitled to receive the
         number of Common Shares of the Corporation which the holder would have
         owned immediately following such action had such Series A Preferred
         Shares been converted immediately prior thereto.

                  (b) Combinations of Shares. If the number of Common Shares
         outstanding at any time after the date of issuance of the Series A
         Preferred Shares is decreased by a combination of the outstanding
         Common

                                       69

<PAGE>   70
         Shares, then, immediately after the effective date of such combination,
         the Conversion Ratios applicable thereto shall be appropriately
         decreased so that the holder of any Series A Preferred Shares
         thereafter converted shall be entitled to receive the number of Common
         Shares of the Corporation which the holder would have owned immediately
         following such action had such Series A Preferred Shares been converted
         immediately prior thereto.

                  (c) Reorganization, Reclassification, Merger, Sale of All
         Assets, etc. In case of any capital reorganization of the Corporation,
         or of any reclassification of the Common Shares, or in case of the
         consolidation of the Corporation with or the merger of the Corporation
         with or into any other Person or of the sale, lease or other transfer
         of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation to any
         other Person, or in the case of any distribution of cash or other
         assets or of notes or other indebtedness of the Corporation or any
         other securities of the Corporation (except Common Shares) to the
         holders of its Common Shares, each Series A Preferred Share shall,
         after such capital reorganization, reclassification, consolidation,
         merger, sale, lease or other transfer or such distribution, be
         convertible into the number of shares or other securities or property
         to which the Common Shares issuable (at the time of such capital
         reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, lease or
         other transfer or such distribution) upon conversion of such Series A
         Preferred Shares would have been entitled upon such capital
         reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, lease or
         other transfer or such distribution in place of (or in addition to, in
         the case of any such event after which Common Shares remain
         outstanding) the Common Shares into which such Series A Preferred
         Shares would otherwise have been convertible; and in any such case, if
         necessary, the provisions set forth herein with respect to the rights
         and interest thereafter of the holders of Series A Preferred Shares
         shall be appropriately adjusted so as to be applicable, as nearly as
         may reasonably be, to any shares or other securities or property
         thereafter deliverable on the conversion of the Series A Preferred
         Shares.

                  (d) Rounding of Calculations; Minimum Adjustment. All
         calculations under this Section 5 shall be made to the nearest one
         hundredth (1/100th) of a Common Share, as the case may be. Any
         provision of this Section 5 to the contrary notwithstanding, no
         adjustment in the Conversion Ratios shall be made if the amount of such
         adjustment would be less than one hundredth of a Common Share, but any
         such amount shall be carried forward and an adjustment with respect
         thereto shall be made at the time of any subsequent adjustment which,
         together with such amount and any other amount or amounts so carried
         forward, shall aggregate one hundredth of a Common Share or more.

                  (e) Timing of Issuance of Additional Common Shares upon
         Certain Adjustments. In any case in which the provisions of this
         Section 5 shall require that an adjustment shall become effective
         immediately after a record date for an event, the Corporation may defer
         until the occurrence of such event issuing to the holder of any Series
         A Preferred Shares converted after such record date and before the
         occurrence of such event the additional Common Shares or other property
         issuable or

                                       70

<PAGE>   71

         deliverable upon such conversion by reason of the adjustment required
         by such event over and above the Common Shares other property
         issuable or deliverable upon such conversion before giving effect to
         such adjustment; provided, however, that the Corporation upon request
         shall deliver to such holder a due bill or other appropriate instrument
         evidencing such holder's right to receive such additional shares or
         other property, and such cash, upon the occurrence of the event
         requiring such adjustment.

                  (f) Statement Regarding Adjustments. Whenever the Conversion
         Ratios shall be adjusted as provided in this Section 5, the Corporation
         shall forthwith file, at the office of any transfer agent for the
         Series A Preferred Shares and at the principal office of the
         Corporation a statement showing in detail the facts requiring such
         adjustment and the Conversion Ratios that shall be in effect after such
         adjustment, and the Corporation shall also cause a copy of such
         statement to be mailed, first class postage prepaid, to each holder of
         Series A Preferred Shares at its address appearing on the Corporation's
         records.

                  (g) Cost. The Corporation shall pay all documentary, stamp,
         transfer or other transactional taxes attributable to the issuance or
         delivery of Common Shares of the Corporation or other securities or
         property upon conversion of any Series A Preferred Shares; provided,
         however, that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any taxes
         which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the
         issuance or delivery of any certificate for such shares or securities
         in the name other than that of the holder of Series A Preferred Shares
         in respect of which such shares are being issued.

         6. Voting. The holders of Series A Preferred Shares shall have no right
or power to vote on any matter except as required by law. In any matter on which
the holders of Series A Preferred Shares shall, as a matter of law, be entitled
to vote, the holders shall be entitled to one vote for each Series A Preferred
Share held.

         7.       Liquidation Rights.

                  (a) Upon the dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the
         Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of Series A
         Preferred Shares then outstanding shall be entitled to receive out of
         the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to equity
         holders, an amount per share in cash equal to the Purchase Price before
         any payment or distribution shall be made on the Common Shares or on
         any other class of capital shares of the Corporation ranking junior to
         the Series A Preferred Shares upon liquidation. All outstanding shares
         of any other series of preferred shares shall rank at parity with the
         Series A Preferred Shares. The consolidation or merger of the
         Corporation, or a sale, exchange or transfer of all or substantially
         all of its assets as an entirety, shall not be regarded as a
         "dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation" within the
         meaning of this Section 7(a).

                  (b) After the payment to the holders of Series A Preferred
         Shares of the full preferential amounts fixed hereby for Series A

                                       71

<PAGE>   72

         Preferred Shares, the holders of Series A Preferred Shares as such
         shall have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the
         Corporation.

                  (c) If the assets of the Corporation available for
         distribution to the holders of Series A Preferred Shares upon
         dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation are
         insufficient to pay in full all amounts to which such holders are
         entitled pursuant to Section 7(a), no distribution shall be made on
         account of any shares of a class or series of capital shares of the
         Corporation ranking on a parity with the Series A Preferred Shares, if
         any, upon such dissolution, liquidation or winding up unless
         proportionate distributive amounts shall be paid on account of the
         Series A Preferred Shares, ratably, in proportion to the full
         distributable amounts for which holders of all such parity shares are
         respectively entitled upon such dissolution, liquidation or winding up.

         8. Reports to Holders of Series A Preferred Shares. For so long as
there shall remain outstanding any Series A Preferred Shares, the Corporation
shall furnish to each holder of record of Series A Preferred Shares (i) all
reports or other correspondence sent by the Corporation to holders of record of
the Common Shares of the Corporation, and (ii) a quarterly report setting forth
the average monthly deposits on behalf of the Banking Office.

         9. Certain Covenants. So long as any Series A Preferred Shares are
outstanding, without the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of
the outstanding Series A Preferred Shares, the Corporation shall not amend,
alter or repeal any provisions of this Resolution Establishing Series A
Convertible Preferred Shares, or otherwise amend, alter or repeal any provision
of the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation so as to affect adversely
the preferences, rights, powers or privileges of the Series A Preferred Shares.

         10. Certain Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated but
not expressly provided for by the provisions of Section 4 or Section 5 herein,
then the Corporation's Board of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in
the Conversion Ratios for the Series A Preferred Shares to protect the rights of
the holders thereof.

         11. Exclusion of Other Rights. Unless otherwise required by law, the
Series A Preferred Shares shall not have any voting powers, preferences or
relative, participating, optional or other special rights other than those
specifically set forth herein.

         3.       Redemption.

         at the option of the Corporation, out of the assets of the Corporation
         legally available therefor, at any time or from time to time, in whole

<PAGE>   76

         Common Shares, or to receive the Redemption Price, upon surrender of

                  (c) Unless the Corporation defaults in the payment in full of
         the Redemption Price, (i) all rights of the holders of such Series A
         Preferred Shares as shareholders of the Corporation by reason of the
         ownership of such shares (including, without limitation, the right to
         convert the Series A Preferred Shares into Common Shares) shall cease
         on the Redemption Date except the right to receive the amount payable
         upon redemption of such shares upon presentation and surrender of the
         respective certificates evidencing such shares, and (ii) such shares
         shall be deemed not to be outstanding after the Redemption Date.

                  (d) Any Series A Preferred Shares that have been redeemed
         shall, after such redemption, not be reissued as Series A Preferred
         Shares, but shall become authorized but unissued Preferred Shares of
         the Corporation, and the certificates evidencing such shares shall be
         canceled.

                  (e) Any notice required by the provisions of this Section 3 to
         be given to the holders of Series A Preferred Shares shall be deemed
         given if deposited in the United States mail postage prepaid, and
         addressed to each holder of record at his, her or its address appearing
         on the books of the Corporation.

         4. Conversion Rights. The Series A Preferred Shares shall be
convertible into Common Shares as follows:

                  (a) No Optional Conversion. Other than pursuant to a
         redemption of the Series A Preferred Shares as set forth in Section 3
         above, the holders of Series A Preferred Shares shall have no optional
         rights to convert such shares into Common Shares.

                  (b) Automatic Conversion. Each Series A Preferred Share shall
         be automatically converted, without any further act of the Corporation
         or the holders of Series A Preferred Shares, into fully paid and
         nonassessable Common Shares in the manner and at the times specified
         below:

                           (i) Second Anniversary after Start Date. If the
                  Deposit Goal is met prior to twenty-four (24) months from the
                  Start Date, (A) the date of the automatic conversion into
                  Common Shares shall be twenty-seven (27) months after the
                  Start Date, and (B) each Series A Preferred Share shall
                  automatically be converted into 1.25 Common Shares. If the
                  Deposit Goal has not been met prior to twenty-four (24) months
                  from the Start Date, the Series A Preferred Shares will not be
                  converted into Common Shares until after the third anniversary
                  of the Start Date.

                           (ii) Third Anniversary after Start Date. If the
                  conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares into Common Shares
                  has not previously taken place within thirty-six (36) months
                  after the Start Date, then, thirty-nine (39) months after the
                  Start Date, each outstanding Series A Preferred Share shall
                  automatically be

                                       76

<PAGE>   77

                  converted into (A) 1.10 Common Shares if the Deposit Goal
                  has been met prior to the end of thirty-six (36) months after
                  the Start Date, and (B) 1.02 Common Shares if the Deposit
                  Goal has not been met prior to the end of thirty-six (36)
                  months after the Start Date.

                           (iii) Determination of Whether Deposit Goal Has Been
                  Met. The Deposit Goal shall have been met prior to a specified
                  date if the average deposits at the Bank on behalf of the
                  Banking Office for any calendar quarter prior to such date
                  equal or exceed $50,000,000. For the purposes of determining
                  whether the Deposit Goal has been met, the Corporation will
                  follow the following procedures:

                                    Deposits: For the purpose of making the
                           Deposit Goal calculations, "deposits" means the book
                           balances of all accounts which are insurable by the
                           Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (such as
                           demand, savings, time, money market and NOW accounts
                           and certificates of deposit), including the balances
                           in such accounts in excess of $100,000; provided,
                           however, that certificates of deposit in amounts of
                           $100,000 or more shall be included in the total
                           amount of deposits only to the extent such
                           certificates of deposit do not exceed 10% of total
                           deposits.

                                    Credit for Deposits: The specific banking
                           office at which a deposit account is opened receives
                           the credit for the account; provided, however, that
                           if the Banking Office is not authorized to accept
                           deposits or has not yet opened for business, a
                           deposit account may be established at another banking
                           office on behalf of the Banking Office if designated
                           as such. The Bank's accounting system tracks and
                           accounts for all depository accounts on a daily
                           basis.

                                    Calendar Quarter Average: After a calendar
                           quarter has expired, the Bank will calculate the
                           calendar quarter average of deposits for accounts
                           designated as gathered on behalf of the Banking
                           Office by adding the sum of the daily general ledger
                           balance for such deposits and then dividing this sum
                           by the number of days in the calendar quarter.

                  All determinations regarding whether the Deposit Goal has been
                  met as of any date shall be made by the Corporation. Such
                  determinations in this regard shall be final and conclusive
                  for all purposes.

                  (c) Mechanics of Conversion. Upon the occurrence of the dates
         specified in Section 4(b) above, the outstanding Series A Preferred
         Shares shall be converted automatically without any further action by
         the holders of such shares and whether or not the certificates
         representing such shares are surrendered to the Corporation or its
         transfer agent; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be
         obligated to issue to any holder certificates evidencing the Common
         Shares issuable upon such conversion unless certificates evidencing the

                                       77

<PAGE>   78

         Series A Preferred Shares are delivered either to the Corporation or
         any transfer agent designated by the Corporation. Conversion shall be
         deemed to have been effected on the date of the occurrence of the dates
         specified in Section 4(b) above, as the case may be, and such date is
         referred to herein as the "Conversion Date." Subject to the provisions
         of Section 4(b) above, as promptly as practicable thereafter (and after
         surrender of the certificate or certificates representing the Series A
         Preferred Shares to the Corporation or any transfer agent designated by
         the Corporation), the Corporation shall issue and deliver to such
         holder a certificate or certificates for the number of full Common
         Shares to which such holder is entitled as provided in Section 4(b)
         hereof. Subject to the provisions of Section 4(b), the person in whose
         name the certificate or certificates for Common Shares are to be issued
         shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such Common Shares
         on the applicable Conversion Date.

                  (d) Fractional Shares. No fractional Common Shares or scrip
         shall be issued upon conversion of Series A Preferred Shares. In lieu
         of any fractional Common Shares which would otherwise be issuable upon
         conversion of any Series A Preferred Shares, the number of full Common
         Shares issuable upon conversion thereof shall be increased to the next
         higher number of whole shares.

                  (e) Rights After Conversion Date. From and after the
         Conversion Date (unless the Corporation defaults in issuing Common
         Shares in conversion for the outstanding Series A Preferred Shares on
         the Conversion Date), such Series A Preferred Shares shall be deemed
         not to be outstanding and all rights of the holders of such shares as
         Shareholders of the Corporation by reason of the ownership of such
         shares shall cease, except the right to receive Common Shares as
         provided in Section 4(b) herein on presentation and surrender of the
         respective certificates evidencing such Series A Preferred Shares. Upon
         presentation and surrender, on or after the Conversion Date, of any
         certificate evidencing Series A Preferred Shares (properly endorsed or
         assigned for transfer, if the Corporation shall so require), such
         shares shall be converted by the Corporation for Common Shares as
         provided in this Section 4.

                  (f) Authorized, But Unissued Shares. Any Series A Preferred
         Shares that shall at any time have been converted into Common Shares
         pursuant to this Section 4 shall, after such conversion become
         authorized but unissued Preferred Shares of the Corporation, and the
         certificates evidencing such shares shall be canceled.

                  (g) Reservation of Shares. The Corporation shall reserve at
         all times so long as any Series A Preferred Shares remain outstanding,
         free from preemptive rights, out of its treasury shares or its
         authorized but unissued Common Shares, or both, solely for the purpose
         of effecting the conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares,
         sufficient Common Shares to provide for the conversion of all
         outstanding Series A Preferred Shares.

                  (h) Fully Paid and Nonassessable Shares. All Common Shares or
         other securities which may be issued upon conversion of the Series A
         Preferred Shares will upon issuance by the Corporation be duly and

                                       78

<PAGE>   79

         validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes,
         liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof and the
         Corporation shall take no action which would cause a contrary result.

         5. Conversion Ratio Adjustments. The number of Common Shares into which
the Series A Preferred Shares shall be converted pursuant to Section 4 (the
"Conversion Ratios") and the securities or other property deliverable upon
conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares shall be subject to adjustment from
time to time as follows:

                  (a) Share Subdivisions or Split-Ups. If the number of Common
         Shares outstanding at any time after the date of issuance of the Series
         A Preferred Shares is increased by a subdivision or split-up of Common
         Shares, then immediately after the record date fixed for the
         determination of holders of Common Shares entitled to receive such
         subdivision or split-up, as the case may be, the Conversion Ratios
         shall be appropriately increased so that the holder of any Series A
         Preferred Shares thereafter converted shall be entitled to receive the
         number of Common Shares of the Corporation which the holder would have
         owned immediately following such action had such Series A Preferred
         Shares been converted immediately prior thereto.

                  (b) Combinations of Shares. If the number of Common Shares
         outstanding at any time after the date of issuance of the Series A
         Preferred Shares is decreased by a combination of the outstanding
         Common Shares, then, immediately after the effective date of such
         combination, the Conversion Ratios applicable thereto shall be
         appropriately decreased so that the holder of any Series A Preferred
         Shares thereafter converted shall be entitled to receive the number of
         Common Shares of the Corporation which the holder would have owned
         immediately following such action had such Series A Preferred Shares
         been converted immediately prior thereto.

                  (c) Reorganization, Reclassification, Merger, Sale of All
         Assets, etc. In case of any capital reorganization of the Corporation,
         or of any reclassification of the Common Shares, or in case of the
         consolidation of the Corporation with or the merger of the Corporation
         with or into any other Person or of the sale, lease or other transfer
         of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation to any
         other Person, or in the case of any distribution of cash or other
         assets or of notes or other indebtedness of the Corporation or any
         other securities of the Corporation (except Common Shares) to the
         holders of its Common Shares, each Series A Preferred Share shall,
         after such capital reorganization, reclassification, consolidation,
         merger, sale, lease or other transfer or such distribution, be
         convertible into the number of shares or other securities or property
         to which the Common Shares issuable (at the time of such capital
         reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, lease or
         other transfer or such distribution) upon conversion of such Series A
         Preferred Shares would have been entitled upon such capital
         reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, lease or
         other transfer or such distribution in place of (or in addition to, in
         the case of any such event after which Common Shares remain
         outstanding) the Common Shares into which such Series A Preferred
         Shares would otherwise have been

                                       79

<PAGE>   80


         convertible; and in any such case, if necessary, the provisions set
         forth herein with respect to the rights and interest thereafter of the
         holders of Series A Preferred Shares shall be appropriately adjusted so
         as to be applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be, to any shares or
         other securities or property thereafter deliverable on the conversion
         of the Series A Preferred Shares.

                  (d) Rounding of Calculations; Minimum Adjustment. All
         calculations under this Section 5 shall be made to the nearest one
         hundredth (1/100th) of a Common Share, as the case may be. Any
         provision of this Section 5 to the contrary notwithstanding, no
         adjustment in the Conversion Ratios shall be made if the amount of such
         adjustment would be less than one hundredth of a Common Share, but any
         such amount shall be carried forward and an adjustment with respect
         thereto shall be made at the time of any subsequent adjustment which,
         together with such amount and any other amount or amounts so carried
         forward, shall aggregate one hundredth of a Common Share or more.

                  (e) Timing of Issuance of Additional Common Shares upon
         Certain Adjustments. In any case in which the provisions of this
         Section 5 shall require that an adjustment shall become effective
         immediately after a record date for an event, the Corporation may defer
         until the occurrence of such event issuing to the holder of any Series
         A Preferred Shares converted after such record date and before the
         occurrence of such event the additional Common Shares or other property
         issuable or deliverable upon such conversion by reason of the
         adjustment required by such event over and above the Common Shares or
         other property issuable or deliverable upon such conversion before
         giving effect to such adjustment; provided, however, that the
         Corporation upon request shall deliver to such holder a due bill or
         other appropriate instrument evidencing such holder's right to receive
         such additional shares or other property, and such cash, upon the
         occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment.

                  (f) Statement Regarding Adjustments. Whenever the Conversion
         Ratios shall be adjusted as provided in this Section 5, the Corporation
         shall forthwith file, at the office of any transfer agent for the
         Series A Preferred Shares and at the principal office of the
         Corporation a statement showing in detail the facts requiring such
         adjustment and the Conversion Ratios that shall be in effect after such
         adjustment, and the Corporation shall also cause a copy of such
         statement to be mailed, first class postage prepaid, to each holder of
         Series A Preferred Shares at its address appearing on the Corporation's
         records.

                  (g) Cost. The Corporation shall pay all documentary, stamp,
         transfer or other transactional taxes attributable to the issuance or
         delivery of Common Shares of the Corporation or other securities or
         property upon conversion of any Series A Preferred Shares; provided,
         however, that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any taxes
         which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the
         issuance or delivery of any certificate for such shares or securities
         in the name other than that of the holder of Series A Preferred Shares
         in respect of which such shares are being issued.

         6. Voting. The holders of Series A Preferred Shares shall have no right
or power to vote on any matter except as required by law. In any matter on which
the holders of Series A Preferred Shares shall, as a matter of law, be entitled
to vote, the holders shall be entitled to one vote for each Series A Preferred
Share held.

         7. Liquidation Rights.

                  (a) Upon the dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the
         Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of Series A
         Preferred Shares then outstanding shall be entitled to receive out of
         the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to equity
         holders, an amount per share in cash equal to the Purchase Price before
         any payment or distribution shall be made on the Common Shares or on
         any other class of capital shares of the Corporation ranking junior to
         the Series A Preferred Shares upon liquidation. All outstanding shares
         of any other series of preferred shares shall rank at parity with the
         Series A Preferred Shares. The consolidation or merger of the
         Corporation, or a sale, exchange or transfer of all or substantially
         all of its assets as an entirety, shall not be regarded as a
         "dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation" within the
         meaning of this Section 7(a).

                  (b) After the payment to the holders of Series A Preferred
         Shares of the full preferential amounts fixed hereby for Series A
         Preferred Shares, the holders of Series A Preferred Shares as such
         shall have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the
         Corporation.

                  (c) If the assets of the Corporation available for
         distribution to the holders of Series A Preferred Shares upon
         dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation are
         insufficient to pay in full all amounts to which such holders are
         entitled pursuant to Section 7(a), no distribution shall be made on
         account of any shares of a class or series of capital shares of the
         Corporation ranking on a parity with the Series A Preferred Shares, if
         any, upon such dissolution, liquidation or winding up unless
         proportionate distributive amounts shall be paid on account of the
         Series A Preferred Shares, ratably, in proportion to the full
         distributable amounts for which holders of all such parity shares are
         respectively entitled upon such dissolution, liquidation or winding up.

         8. Reports to Holders of Series A Preferred Shares. For so long as
there shall remain outstanding any Series A Preferred Shares, the Corporation
shall furnish to each holder of record of Series A Preferred Shares (i) all
reports or other correspondence sent by the Corporation to holders of record of
the Common Shares of the Corporation, and (ii) a quarterly report setting forth
the average monthly deposits on behalf of the Banking Office.

         9. Certain Covenants. So long as any Series A Preferred Shares are
outstanding, without the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of
the outstanding Series A Preferred Shares, the Corporation shall not amend,
alter or repeal any provisions of this Resolution Establishing Series A
Convertible Preferred Shares, or otherwise amend, alter or repeal any


                                       81
<PAGE>   82

provision of the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation so as to affect
adversely the preferences, rights, powers or privileges of the Series A
Preferred Shares.

         10. Certain Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated but
not expressly provided for by the provisions of Section 4 or Section 5 herein,
then the Corporation's Board of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in
the Conversion Ratios for the Series A Preferred Shares to protect the rights of
the holders thereof.

         11. Exclusion of Other Rights. Unless otherwise required by law, the
Series A Preferred Shares shall not have any voting powers, preferences or
relative, participating, optional or other special rights other than those
specifically set forth herein.


                                                                       EXHIBIT B

         at the option of the Corporation, out of the assets of the Corporation
         legally available therefor, at any time or from time to time, in whole

         convert the Series B Preferred Shares into Common Shares) shall cease
         on the Redemption Date except the right to receive the amount payable

         given if deposited in the United States mail postage prepaid, and
         addressed to each holder of record at his, her or its address appearing
         on the books of the Corporation.

         4. Conversion Rights. The Series B Preferred Shares shall be
convertible into Common Shares as follows:

                  (a) No Optional Conversion. Other than pursuant to a
         redemption of the Series B Preferred Shares as set forth in Section 3
         above, the holders of Series B Preferred Shares shall have no optional
         rights to convert such shares into Common Shares.

                  (b) Automatic Conversion. Each Series B Preferred Share shall
         be automatically converted, without any further act of the Corporation
         or the holders of Series B Preferred Shares, into fully paid and
         nonassessable Common Shares in the manner and at the times specified
         below:

                           (i) Second Anniversary after Start Date. If the
                  Deposit Goal is met prior to twenty-four (24) months from the
                  Start Date, (A) the date of the automatic conversion into
                  Common Shares shall be twenty-seven (27) months after the
                  Start Date, and (B) each Series B Preferred Share shall
                  automatically be converted into 1.25 Common Shares. If the
                  Deposit Goal has not been met prior to twenty-four (24) months
                  from the Start Date, the Series B Preferred Shares will not be
                  converted into Common Shares until after the third anniversary
                  of the Start Date.

                           (ii) Third Anniversary after Start Date. If the
                  conversion of the Series B Preferred Shares into Common Shares
                  has not previously taken place within thirty-six (36) months
                  after the Start Date, then, thirty-nine (39) months after the
                  Start Date, each outstanding Series B Preferred Share shall
                  automatically be converted into (A) 1.10 Common Shares if the
                  Deposit Goal has been met prior to the end of thirty-six (36)
                  months after the Start Date, and (B) 1.02 Common Shares if the
                  Deposit Goal has not been met prior to the end of thirty-six
                  (36) months after the Start Date.

                           (iii) Determination of Whether Deposit Goal Has Been
                  Met. The Deposit Goal shall have been met prior to a specified
                  date if the average deposits at the Bank on behalf of the
                  Banking Office for any calendar quarter prior to such date
                  equal or exceed $25,000,000. For the purposes of determining
                  whether the Deposit Goal has been met, the Corporation will
                  follow the following procedures:

                           Deposit Goal calculations, "deposits" means the book
                           balances of all accounts which are insurable by the
                           Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (such as
                           demand, savings, time, money market and NOW accounts
                           and certificates of deposit), including the balances
                           in such accounts in excess of $100,000; provided,
                           however, that certificates of deposit in amounts of
                           $100,000 or more shall be included in the total
                           amount of deposits only to the extent such
                           certificates of deposit do not exceed 10% of total
                           deposits.

                                    Credit for Deposits: The specific banking
                           office at which a deposit account is opened receives
                           the credit for the account; provided, however, that
                           if the Banking Office is not authorized to accept
                           deposits or has not yet opened for business, a
                           deposit account may be established at another banking
                           office on behalf of the Banking Office if designated
                           as such. The Bank's accounting system tracks and
                           accounts for all depository accounts on a daily
                           basis.

                                    Calendar Quarter Average: After a calendar
                           quarter has expired, the Bank will calculate the
                           calendar quarter average of deposits for accounts
                           designated as gathered on behalf of the Banking
                           Office by adding the sum of the daily general ledger
                           balance for such deposits and then dividing this sum
                           by the number of days in the calendar quarter.

                  All determinations regarding whether the Deposit Goal has been
                  met as of any date shall be made by the Corporation. Such
                  determinations in this regard shall be final and conclusive
                  for all purposes.

                  (c) Mechanics of Conversion. Upon the occurrence of the dates
         specified in Section 4(b) above, the outstanding Series B Preferred
         Shares shall be converted automatically without any further action by
         the holders of such shares and whether or not the certificates
         representing such shares are surrendered to the Corporation or its
         transfer agent; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be
         obligated to issue to any holder certificates evidencing the Common
         Shares issuable upon such conversion unless certificates evidencing the
         Series B Preferred Shares are delivered either to the Corporation or
         any transfer agent designated by the Corporation. Conversion shall be
         deemed to have been effected on the date of the occurrence of the dates
         specified in Section 4(b) above, as the case may be, and such date is
         referred to herein as the "Conversion Date." Subject to the provisions
         of Section 4(b) above, as promptly as practicable thereafter (and after
         surrender of the certificate or certificates representing the Series B
         Preferred Shares to the Corporation or any transfer agent designated by
         the Corporation), the Corporation shall issue and deliver to such
         holder a certificate or certificates for the number of full Common
         Shares to which such holder is entitled as provided in Section 4(b)
         hereof. Subject to the provisions of Section 4(b), the person in whose
         name the certificate or certificates for Common Shares are to be issued
         shall be


                                       85

<PAGE>   86

         deemed to have become a holder of record of such Common Shares on the
         applicable Conversion Date.

                  (d) Fractional Shares. No fractional Common Shares or scrip
         shall be issued upon conversion of Series B Preferred Shares. In lieu
         of any fractional Common Shares which would otherwise be issuable upon
         conversion of any Series B Preferred Shares, the number of full Common
         Shares issuable upon conversion thereof shall be increased to the next
         higher number of whole shares.

                  (e) Rights After Conversion Date. From and after the
         Conversion Date (unless the Corporation defaults in issuing Common
         Shares in conversion for the outstanding Series B Preferred Shares on
         the Conversion Date), such Series B Preferred Shares shall be deemed
         not to be outstanding and all rights of the holders of such shares as
         Shareholders of the Corporation by reason of the ownership of such
         shares shall cease, except the right to receive Common Shares as
         provided in Section 4(b) herein on presentation and surrender of the
         respective certificates evidencing such Series B Preferred Shares. Upon
         presentation and surrender, on or after the Conversion Date, of any
         certificate evidencing Series B Preferred Shares (properly endorsed or
         assigned for transfer, if the Corporation shall so require), such
         shares shall be converted by the Corporation for Common Shares as
         provided in this Section 4.

                  (f) Authorized, But Unissued Shares. Any Series B Preferred
         Shares that shall at any time have been converted into Common Shares
         pursuant to this Section 4 shall, after such conversion become
         authorized but unissued Preferred Shares of the Corporation, and the
         certificates evidencing such shares shall be canceled.

                  (g) Reservation of Shares. The Corporation shall reserve at
         all times so long as any Series B Preferred Shares remain outstanding,
         free from preemptive rights, out of its treasury shares or its
         authorized but unissued Common Shares, or both, solely for the purpose
         of effecting the conversion of the Series B Preferred Shares,
         sufficient Common Shares to provide for the conversion of all
         outstanding Series B Preferred Shares.

                  (h) Fully Paid and Nonassessable Shares. All Common Shares or
         other securities which may be issued upon conversion of the Series B
         Preferred Shares will upon issuance by the Corporation be duly and
         validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes,
         liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof and the
         Corporation shall take no action which would cause a contrary result.

         5. Conversion Ratio Adjustments. The number of Common Shares into which
the Series B Preferred Shares shall be converted pursuant to Section 4 (the
"Conversion Ratios") and the securities or other property deliverable upon
conversion of the Series B Preferred Shares shall be subject to adjustment from
time to time as follows:

                  (a) Share Subdivisions or Split-Ups. If the number of Common
         Shares outstanding at any time after the date of issuance of the Series
         B Preferred Shares is increased by a subdivision or split-up of Common


                                       86

<PAGE>   87
         Shares, then immediately after the record date fixed for the
         determination of holders of Common Shares entitled to receive such
         subdivision or split-up, as the case may be, the Conversion Ratios
         shall be appropriately increased so that the holder of any Series B
         Preferred Shares thereafter converted shall be entitled to receive the
         number of Common Shares of the Corporation which the holder would have
         owned immediately following such action had such Series B Preferred
         Shares been converted immediately prior thereto.

                  (b) Combinations of Shares. If the number of Common Shares
         outstanding at any time after the date of issuance of the Series B
         Preferred Shares is decreased by a combination of the outstanding
         Common Shares, then, immediately after the effective date of such
         combination, the Conversion Ratios applicable thereto shall be
         appropriately decreased so that the holder of any Series B Preferred
         Shares thereafter converted shall be entitled to receive the number of
         Common Shares of the Corporation which the holder would have owned
         immediately following such action had such Series B Preferred Shares
         been converted immediately prior thereto.

                  (c) Reorganization, Reclassification, Merger, Sale of All
         Assets, etc. In case of any capital reorganization of the Corporation,
         or of any reclassification of the Common Shares, or in case of the
         consolidation of the Corporation with or the merger of the Corporation
         with or into any other Person or of the sale, lease or other transfer
         of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation to any
         other Person, or in the case of any distribution of cash or other
         assets or of notes or other indebtedness of the Corporation or any
         other securities of the Corporation (except Common Shares) to the
         holders of its Common Shares, each Series B Preferred Share shall,
         after such capital reorganization, reclassification, consolidation,
         merger, sale, lease or other transfer or such distribution, be
         convertible into the number of shares or other securities or property
         to which the Common Shares issuable (at the time of such capital
         reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, lease or
         other transfer or such distribution) upon conversion of such Series B
         Preferred Shares would have been entitled upon such capital
         reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, lease or
         other transfer or such distribution in place of (or in addition to, in
         the case of any such event after which Common Shares remain
         outstanding) the Common Shares into which such Series B Preferred
         Shares would otherwise have been convertible; and in any such case, if
         necessary, the provisions set forth herein with respect to the rights
         and interest thereafter of the holders of Series B Preferred Shares
         shall be appropriately adjusted so as to be applicable, as nearly as
         may reasonably be, to any shares or other securities or property
         thereafter deliverable on the conversion of the Series B Preferred
         Shares.

                  (d) Rounding of Calculations; Minimum Adjustment. All
         calculations under this Section 5 shall be made to the nearest one
         hundredth (1/100th) of a Common Share, as the case may be. Any
         provision of this Section 5 to the contrary notwithstanding, no
         adjustment in the Conversion Ratios shall be made if the amount of such
         adjustment would be less than one hundredth of a Common Share, but any



                                       87
<PAGE>   88

         such amount shall be carried forward and an adjustment with respect
         thereto shall be made at the time of any subsequent adjustment which,
         together with such amount and any other amount or amounts so carried
         forward, shall aggregate one hundredth of a Common Share or more.

                  (e) Timing of Issuance of Additional Common Shares upon
         Certain Adjustments. In any case in which the provisions of this
         Section 5 shall require that an adjustment shall become effective
         immediately after a record date for an event, the Corporation may defer
         until the occurrence of such event issuing to the holder of any Series
         B Preferred Shares converted after such record date and before the
         occurrence of such event the additional Common Shares or other property
         issuable or deliverable upon such conversion by reason of the
         adjustment required by such event over and above the Common Shares or
         other property issuable or deliverable upon such conversion before
         giving effect to such adjustment; provided, however, that the
         Corporation upon request shall deliver to such holder a due bill or
         other appropriate instrument evidencing such holder's right to receive
         such additional shares or other property, and such cash, upon the
         occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment.

                  (f) Statement Regarding Adjustments. Whenever the Conversion
         Ratios shall be adjusted as provided in this Section 5, the Corporation
         shall forthwith file, at the office of any transfer agent for the
         Series B Preferred Shares and at the principal office of the
         Corporation a statement showing in detail the facts requiring such
         adjustment and the Conversion Ratios that shall be in effect after such
         adjustment, and the Corporation shall also cause a copy of such
         statement to be mailed, first class postage prepaid, to each holder of
         Series B Preferred Shares at its address appearing on the Corporation's
         records.

                  (g) Cost. The Corporation shall pay all documentary, stamp,
         transfer or other transactional taxes attributable to the issuance or
         delivery of Common Shares of the Corporation or other securities or
         property upon conversion of any Series B Preferred Shares; provided,
         however, that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any taxes
         which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the
         issuance or delivery of any certificate for such shares or securities
         in the name other than that of the holder of Series B Preferred Shares
         in respect of which such shares are being issued.

         6. Voting. The holders of Series B Preferred Shares shall have no right
or power to vote on any matter except as required by law. In any matter on which
the holders of Series B Preferred Shares shall, as a matter of law, be entitled
to vote, the holders shall be entitled to one vote for each Series B Preferred
Share held.

         7. Liquidation Rights.

                  (a) Upon the dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the
         Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of Series B
         Preferred Shares then outstanding shall be entitled to receive out of
         the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to equity
         holders, an amount per share in cash equal to the Purchase Price


                                       88

<PAGE>   89

         before any payment or distribution shall be made on the Common Shares
         or on any other class of capital shares of the Corporation ranking
         junior to the Series B Preferred Shares upon liquidation. All
         outstanding shares of any other series of preferred shares shall rank
         at parity with the Series B Preferred Shares. The consolidation or
         merger of the Corporation, or a sale, exchange or transfer of all or
         substantially all of its assets as an entirety, shall not be regarded
         as a "dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation" within
         the meaning of this Section 7(a).

                  (b) After the payment to the holders of Series B Preferred
         Shares of the full preferential amounts fixed hereby for Series B
         Preferred Shares, the holders of Series B Preferred Shares as such
         shall have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the
         Corporation.

                  (c) If the assets of the Corporation available for
         distribution to the holders of Series B Preferred Shares upon
         dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation are
         insufficient to pay in full all amounts to which such holders are
         entitled pursuant to Section 7(a), no distribution shall be made on
         account of any shares of a class or series of capital shares of the
         Corporation ranking on a parity with the Series B Preferred Shares, if
         any, upon such dissolution, liquidation or winding up unless
         proportionate distributive amounts shall be paid on account of the
         Series B Preferred Shares, ratably, in proportion to the full
         distributable amounts for which holders of all such parity shares are
         respectively entitled upon such dissolution, liquidation or winding up.

         8. Reports to Holders of Series B Preferred Shares. For so long as
there shall remain outstanding any Series B Preferred Shares, the Corporation
shall furnish to each holder of record of Series B Preferred Shares (i) all
reports or other correspondence sent by the Corporation to holders of record of
the Common Shares of the Corporation, and (ii) a quarterly report setting forth
the average monthly deposits on behalf of the Banking Office.

         9. Certain Covenants. So long as any Series B Preferred Shares are
outstanding, without the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of
the outstanding Series B Preferred Shares, the Corporation shall not amend,
alter or repeal any provisions of this Resolution Establishing Series B
Convertible Preferred Shares, or otherwise amend, alter or repeal any provision
of the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation so as to affect adversely
the preferences, rights, powers or privileges of the Series B Preferred Shares.

         10. Certain Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated but
not expressly provided for by the provisions of Section 4 or Section 5 herein,
then the Corporation's Board of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in
the Conversion Ratios for the Series B Preferred Shares to protect the rights of
the holders thereof.

         11. Exclusion of Other Rights. Unless otherwise required by law, the
Series B Preferred Shares shall not have any voting powers, preferences or


                                       89
<PAGE>   90

relative, participating, optional or other special rights other than those
specifically set forth herein.


                                                                       EXHIBIT C

         3. Redemption.

                  (a) The outstanding Series C Preferred Shares are redeemable
         at the option of the Corporation, out of the assets of the Corporation
         legally available therefor, at any time or from time to time, in whole
         and not in part, at a redemption price per share of Series C Preferred

         Preferred Shares as shareholders of the Corporation by reason of the
         ownership of such shares (including, without limitation, the right to

         shall be deemed not to be outstanding after the Redemption Date.

                  (d) Any Series C Preferred Shares that have been redeemed
         shall, after such redemption, not be reissued as Series C Preferred
         Shares, but shall become authorized but unissued Preferred Shares of

         canceled.

<PAGE>   92

         4. Conversion Rights. The Series C Preferred Shares shall be
convertible into Common Shares as follows:

                  (a) No Optional Conversion. Other than pursuant to a
         redemption of the Series C Preferred Shares as set forth in Section 3
         above, the holders of Series C Preferred Shares shall have no optional
         rights to convert such shares into Common Shares.

                  (b) Automatic Conversion. Each Series C Preferred Share shall
         be automatically converted, without any further act of the Corporation
         or the holders of Series C Preferred Shares, into fully paid and
         nonassessable Common Shares in the manner and at the times specified
         below:

                           (i) Second Anniversary after Start Date. If the
                  Deposit Goal is met prior to twenty-four (24) months from the
                  Start Date, (A) the date of the automatic conversion into
                  Common Shares shall be twenty-seven (27) months after the
                  Start Date, and (B) each Series C Preferred Share shall
                  automatically be converted into 1.25 Common Shares. If the
                  Deposit Goal has not been met prior to twenty-four (24) months
                  from the Start Date, the Series C Preferred Shares will not be
                  converted into Common Shares until after the third anniversary
                  of the Start Date.

                           (ii) Third Anniversary after Start Date. If the
                  conversion of the Series C Preferred Shares into Common Shares
                  has not previously taken place within thirty-six (36) months
                  after the Start Date, then, thirty-nine (39) months after the
                  Start Date, each outstanding Series C Preferred Share shall
                  automatically be converted into (A) 1.10 Common Shares if the
                  Deposit Goal has been met prior to the end of thirty-six (36)
                  months after the Start Date, and (B) 1.02 Common Shares if the
                  Deposit Goal has not been met prior to the end of thirty-six
                  (36) months after the Start Date.

                           (iii) Determination of Whether Deposit Goal Has Been
                  Met. The Deposit Goal shall have been met prior to a specified
                  date if the average deposits at the Bank on behalf of the
                  Banking Office for any calendar quarter prior to such date
                  equal or exceed $50,000,000. For the purposes of determining
                  whether the Deposit Goal has been met, the Corporation will
                  follow the following procedures:

                                    Deposits: For the purpose of making the
                           Deposit Goal calculations, "deposits" means the book
                           balances of all accounts which are insurable by the
                           Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (such as
                           demand, savings, time, money market and NOW accounts
                           and certificates of deposit), including the balances
                           in such accounts in excess of $100,000; provided,
                           however, that certificates of deposit in amounts of
                           $100,000 or more shall be included in the total
                           amount of deposits only to the extent such
                           certificates of deposit do not exceed 10% of total
                           deposits.

                                    Credit for Deposits: The specific banking
                           office at which a deposit account is opened receives
                           the credit for the account; provided, however, that
                           if the Banking Office is not authorized to accept
                           deposits or has not yet opened for business, a
                           deposit account may be established at another banking
                           office on behalf of the Banking Office if designated
                           as such. The Bank's accounting system tracks and
                           accounts for all depository accounts on a daily
                           basis.

                                    Calendar Quarter Average: After a calendar
                           quarter has expired, the Bank will calculate the
                           calendar quarter average of deposits for accounts
                           designated as gathered on behalf of the Banking
                           Office by adding the sum of the daily general ledger
                           balance for such deposits and then dividing this sum
                           by the number of days in the calendar quarter.

                  All determinations regarding whether the Deposit Goal has been
                  met as of any date shall be made by the Corporation. Such
                  determinations in this regard shall be final and conclusive
                  for all purposes.

                  (c) Mechanics of Conversion. Upon the occurrence of the dates
         specified in Section 4(b) above, the outstanding Series C Preferred
         Shares shall be converted automatically without any further action by
         the holders of such shares and whether or not the certificates
         representing such shares are surrendered to the Corporation or its
         transfer agent; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be
         obligated to issue to any holder certificates evidencing the Common
         Shares issuable upon such conversion unless certificates evidencing the
         Series C Preferred Shares are delivered either to the Corporation or
         any transfer agent designated by the Corporation. Conversion shall be
         deemed to have been effected on the date of the occurrence of the dates
         specified in Section 4(b) above, as the case may be, and such date is
         referred to herein as the "Conversion Date." Subject to the provisions
         of Section 4(b) above, as promptly as practicable thereafter (and after
         surrender of the certificate or certificates representing the Series C
         Preferred Shares to the Corporation or any transfer agent designated by
         the Corporation), the Corporation shall issue and deliver to such
         holder a certificate or certificates for the number of full Common
         Shares to which such holder is entitled as provided in Section 4(b)
         hereof. Subject to the provisions of Section 4(b), the person in whose
         name the certificate or certificates for Common Shares are to be issued
         shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such Common Shares
         on the applicable Conversion Date.

                  (d) Fractional Shares. No fractional Common Shares or scrip
         shall be issued upon conversion of Series C Preferred Shares. In lieu
         of any fractional Common Shares which would otherwise be issuable upon
         conversion of any Series C Preferred Shares, the number of full Common
         Shares issuable upon conversion thereof shall be increased to the next
         higher number of whole shares.

                  (e) Rights After Conversion Date. From and after the
         Conversion Date (unless the Corporation defaults in issuing Common
         Shares in


                                       93
<PAGE>   94


         conversion for the outstanding Series C Preferred Shares on the
         Conversion Date), such Series C Preferred Shares shall be deemed not to
         be outstanding and all rights of the holders of such shares as
         Shareholders of the Corporation by reason of the ownership of such
         shares shall cease, except the right to receive Common Shares as
         provided in Section 4(b) herein on presentation and surrender of the
         respective certificates evidencing such Series C Preferred Shares. Upon
         presentation and surrender, on or after the Conversion Date, of any
         certificate evidencing Series C Preferred Shares (properly endorsed or
         assigned for transfer, if the Corporation shall so require), such
         shares shall be converted by the Corporation for Common Shares as
         provided in this Section 4.

                  (f) Authorized, But Unissued Shares. Any Series C Preferred
         Shares that shall at any time have been converted into Common Shares
         pursuant to this Section 4 shall, after such conversion become
         authorized but unissued Preferred Shares of the Corporation, and the
         certificates evidencing such shares shall be canceled.

                  (g) Reservation of Shares. The Corporation shall reserve at
         all times so long as any Series C Preferred Shares remain outstanding,
         free from preemptive rights, out of its treasury shares or its
         authorized but unissued Common Shares, or both, solely for the purpose
         of effecting the conversion of the Series C Preferred Shares,
         sufficient Common Shares to provide for the conversion of all
         outstanding Series C Preferred Shares.

                  (h) Fully Paid and Nonassessable Shares. All Common Shares or
         other securities which may be issued upon conversion of the Series C
         Preferred Shares will upon issuance by the Corporation be duly and
         validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes,
         liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof and the
         Corporation shall take no action which would cause a contrary result.

         5. Conversion Ratio Adjustments. The number of Common Shares into which
the Series C Preferred Shares shall be converted pursuant to Section 4 (the
"Conversion Ratios") and the securities or other property deliverable upon
conversion of the Series C Preferred Shares shall be subject to adjustment from
time to time as follows:

                  (a) Share Subdivisions or Split-Ups. If the number of Common
         Shares outstanding at any time after the date of issuance of the Series
         C Preferred Shares is increased by a subdivision or split-up of Common
         Shares, then immediately after the record date fixed for the
         determination of holders of Common Shares entitled to receive such
         subdivision or split-up, as the case may be, the Conversion Ratios
         shall be appropriately increased so that the holder of any Series C
         Preferred Shares thereafter converted shall be entitled to receive the
         number of Common Shares of the Corporation which the holder would have
         owned immediately following such action had such Series C Preferred
         Shares been converted immediately prior thereto.

                  (b) Combinations of Shares. If the number of Common Shares
         outstanding at any time after the date of issuance of the Series C
         Preferred Shares is decreased by a combination of the outstanding
         Common

                                       94
<PAGE>   95

         Shares, then, immediately after the effective date of such combination,
         the Conversion Ratios applicable thereto shall be appropriately
         decreased so that the holder of any Series C Preferred Shares
         thereafter converted shall be entitled to receive the number of Common
         Shares of the Corporation which the holder would have owned immediately
         following such action had such Series C Preferred Shares been converted
         immediately prior thereto.

                  (c) Reorganization, Reclassification, Merger, Sale of All
         Assets, etc. In case of any capital reorganization of the Corporation,
         or of any reclassification of the Common Shares, or in case of the
         consolidation of the Corporation with or the merger of the Corporation
         with or into any other Person or of the sale, lease or other transfer
         of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation to any
         other Person, or in the case of any distribution of cash or other
         assets or of notes or other indebtedness of the Corporation or any
         other securities of the Corporation (except Common Shares) to the
         holders of its Common Shares, each Series C Preferred Share shall,
         after such capital reorganization, reclassification, consolidation,
         merger, sale, lease or other transfer or such distribution, be
         convertible into the number of shares or other securities or property
         to which the Common Shares issuable (at the time of such capital
         reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, lease or
         other transfer or such distribution) upon conversion of such Series C
         Preferred Shares would have been entitled upon such capital
         reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, lease or
         other transfer or such distribution in place of (or in addition to, in
         the case of any such event after which Common Shares remain
         outstanding) the Common Shares into which such Series C Preferred
         Shares would otherwise have been convertible; and in any such case, if
         necessary, the provisions set forth herein with respect to the rights
         and interest thereafter of the holders of Series C Preferred Shares
         shall be appropriately adjusted so as to be applicable, as nearly as
         may reasonably be, to any shares or other securities or property
         thereafter deliverable on the conversion of the Series C Preferred
         Shares.

                  (d) Rounding of Calculations; Minimum Adjustment. All
         calculations under this Section 5 shall be made to the nearest one
         hundredth (1/100th) of a Common Share, as the case may be. Any
         provision of this Section 5 to the contrary notwithstanding, no
         adjustment in the Conversion Ratios shall be made if the amount of such
         adjustment would be less than one hundredth of a Common Share, but any
         such amount shall be carried forward and an adjustment with respect
         thereto shall be made at the time of any subsequent adjustment which,
         together with such amount and any other amount or amounts so carried
         forward, shall aggregate one hundredth of a Common Share or more.

                  (e) Timing of Issuance of Additional Common Shares upon
         Certain Adjustments. In any case in which the provisions of this
         Section 5 shall require that an adjustment shall become effective
         immediately after a record date for an event, the Corporation may defer
         until the occurrence of such event issuing to the holder of any Series
         C Preferred Shares converted after such record date and before the
         occurrence of such event the additional Common Shares or other property
         issuable or



                                       95
<PAGE>   96

         deliverable upon such conversion by reason of the adjustment required
         by such event over and above the Common Shares or other property
         issuable or deliverable upon such conversion before giving effect to
         such adjustment; provided, however, that the Corporation upon request
         shall deliver to such holder a due bill or other appropriate instrument
         evidencing such holder's right to receive such additional shares or
         other property, and such cash, upon the occurrence of the event
         requiring such adjustment.

                  (f) Statement Regarding Adjustments. Whenever the Conversion
         Ratios shall be adjusted as provided in this Section 5, the Corporation
         shall forthwith file, at the office of any transfer agent for the
         Series C Preferred Shares and at the principal office of the
         Corporation a statement showing in detail the facts requiring such
         adjustment and the Conversion Ratios that shall be in effect after such
         adjustment, and the Corporation shall also cause a copy of such
         statement to be mailed, first class postage prepaid, to each holder of
         Series C Preferred Shares at its address appearing on the Corporation's
         records.

                  (g) Cost. The Corporation shall pay all documentary, stamp,
         transfer or other transactional taxes attributable to the issuance or
         delivery of Common Shares of the Corporation or other securities or
         property upon conversion of any Series C Preferred Shares; provided,
         however, that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any taxes
         which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the
         issuance or delivery of any certificate for such shares or securities
         in the name other than that of the holder of Series C Preferred Shares
         in respect of which such shares are being issued.

         6. Voting. The holders of Series C Preferred Shares shall have no right
or power to vote on any matter except as required by law. In any matter on which
the holders of Series C Preferred Shares shall, as a matter of law, be entitled
to vote, the holders shall be entitled to one vote for each Series C Preferred
Share held.

         7. Liquidation Rights.

                  (a) Upon the dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the
         Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of Series C
         Preferred Shares then outstanding shall be entitled to receive out of
         the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to equity
         holders, an amount per share in cash equal to the Purchase Price before
         any payment or distribution shall be made on the Common Shares or on
         any other class of capital shares of the Corporation ranking junior to
         the Series C Preferred Shares upon liquidation. All outstanding shares
         of any other series of preferred shares shall rank at parity with the
         Series C Preferred Shares. The consolidation or merger of the
         Corporation, or a sale, exchange or transfer of all or substantially
         all of its assets as an entirety, shall not be regarded as a
         "dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation" within the
         meaning of this Section 7(a).

                  (b) After the payment to the holders of Series C Preferred
         Shares of the full preferential amounts fixed hereby for Series C


                                       96

<PAGE>   97

         Preferred Shares, the holders of Series C Preferred Shares as such
         shall have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the
         Corporation.

                  (c) If the assets of the Corporation available for
         distribution to the holders of Series C Preferred Shares upon
         dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation are
         insufficient to pay in full all amounts to which such holders are
         entitled pursuant to Section 7(a), no distribution shall be made on
         account of any shares of a class or series of capital shares of the
         Corporation ranking on a parity with the Series C Preferred Shares, if
         any, upon such dissolution, liquidation or winding up unless
         proportionate distributive amounts shall be paid on account of the
         Series C Preferred Shares, ratably, in proportion to the full
         distributable amounts for which holders of all such parity shares are
         respectively entitled upon such dissolution, liquidation or winding up.

         8. Reports to Holders of Series C Preferred Shares. For so long as
there shall remain outstanding any Series C Preferred Shares, the Corporation
shall furnish to each holder of record of Series C Preferred Shares (i) all
reports or other correspondence sent by the Corporation to holders of record of
the Common Shares of the Corporation, and (ii) a quarterly report setting forth
the average monthly deposits on behalf of the Banking Office.

         9. Certain Covenants. So long as any Series C Preferred Shares are
outstanding, without the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of
the outstanding Series C Preferred Shares, the Corporation shall not amend,
alter or repeal any provisions of this resolution establishing Series C
Convertible Preferred Shares, or otherwise amend, alter or repeal any provision
of the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation so as to affect adversely
the preferences, rights, powers or privileges of the Series C Preferred Shares.

         10. Certain Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated but
not expressly provided for by the provisions of Section 4 or Section 5 herein,
then the Corporation's Board of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in
the Conversion Ratios for the Series C Preferred Shares to protect the rights of
the holders thereof.

         11. Exclusion of Other Rights. Unless otherwise required by law, the
Series C Preferred Shares shall not have any voting powers, preferences or
relative, participating, optional or other special rights other than those
specifically set forth herein.

         3. Redemption.

                  (a) The outstanding Series D Preferred Shares are redeemable
         at the option of the Corporation, out of the assets of the Corporation
         legally available therefor, at any time or from time to time, in whole
         and not in part, at a redemption price per share of Series D Preferred
         Shares (the "Redemption Price") equal to the Purchase Price; provided,

         fixed for redemption (the "Redemption Date"), the holders of the

         specifying the date fixed for redemption, the redemption price and the
         place at which shareholders may obtain payment of the Redemption Price

         more than 90 days prior to the Redemption Date. Such notice shall set
         forth the manner in which shareholders may convert their Series D
         Preferred Shares into Common Shares, or to receive the Redemption
         Price, upon surrender of their certificates.

<PAGE>   101

                  (c) Unless the Corporation defaults in the payment in full of
         the Redemption Price, (i) all rights of the holders of such Series D
         Preferred Shares as shareholders of the Corporation by reason of the
         ownership of such shares (including, without limitation, the right to
         convert the Series D Preferred Shares into Common Shares) shall cease
         on the Redemption Date except the right to receive the amount payable
         upon redemption of such shares upon presentation and surrender of the
         respective certificates evidencing such shares, and (ii) such shares
         shall be deemed not to be outstanding after the Redemption Date.

                  (d) Any Series D Preferred Shares that have been redeemed
         shall, after such redemption, not be reissued as Series D Preferred
         Shares, but shall become authorized but unissued Preferred Shares of
         the Corporation, and the certificates evidencing such shares shall be
         canceled.

                  (e) Any notice required by the provisions of this Section 3 to
         be given to the holders of Series D Preferred Shares shall be deemed
         given if deposited in the United States mail postage prepaid, and
         addressed to each holder of record at his, her or its address appearing
         on the books of the Corporation.

         4. Conversion Rights. The Series D Preferred Shares shall be
convertible into Common Shares as follows:

                  (a) No Optional Conversion. Other than pursuant to a
         redemption of the Series D Preferred Shares as set forth in Section 3
         above, the holders of Series D Preferred Shares shall have no optional
         rights to convert such shares into Common Shares.

                  (b) Automatic Conversion. Each Series D Preferred Share shall
         be automatically converted, without any further act of the Corporation
         or the holders of Series D Preferred Shares, into fully paid and
         nonassessable Common Shares in the manner and at the times specified
         below:

                           (i) Second Anniversary after Start Date. If the
                  Deposit Goal is met prior to twenty-four (24) months from the
                  Start Date, (A) the date of the automatic conversion into
                  Common Shares shall be twenty-seven (27) months after the
                  Start Date, and (B) each Series D Preferred Share shall
                  automatically be converted into 1.25 Common Shares. If the
                  Deposit Goal has not been met prior to twenty-four (24) months
                  from the Start Date, the Series D Preferred Shares will not be
                  converted into Common Shares until after the third anniversary
                  of the Start Date.

                           (ii) Third Anniversary after Start Date. If the
                  conversion of the Series D Preferred Shares into Common Shares
                  has not previously taken place within thirty-six (36) months
                  after the Start Date, then, thirty-nine (39) months after the
                  Start Date, each outstanding Series D Preferred Share shall
                  automatically be converted into (A) 1.10 Common Shares if the
                  Deposit Goal has been met prior to the end of thirty-six (36)
                  months after the Start Date, and (B) 1.02 Common Shares if the
                  Deposit Goal has not been


                                      101
<PAGE>   102

                  met prior to the end of thirty-six (36) months after the Start
                  Date.

                           (iii) Determination of Whether Deposit Goal Has Been
                  Met. The Deposit Goal shall have been met prior to a specified
                  date if the average deposits at the Bank on behalf of the
                  Banking Office for any calendar quarter prior to such date
                  equal or exceed $25,000,000. For the purposes of determining
                  whether the Deposit Goal has been met, the Corporation will
                  follow the following procedures:

                                    Deposits: For the purpose of making the
                           Deposit Goal calculations, "deposits" means the book
                           balances of all accounts which are insurable by the
                           Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (such as
                           demand, savings, time, money market and NOW accounts
                           and certificates of deposit), including the balances
                           in such accounts in excess of $100,000; provided,
                           however, that certificates of deposit in amounts of
                           $100,000 or more shall be included in the total
                           amount of deposits only to the extent such
                           certificates of deposit do not exceed 10% of total
                           deposits.

                                    Credit for Deposits: The specific banking
                           office at which a deposit account is opened receives
                           the credit for the account; provided, however, that
                           if the Banking Office is not authorized to accept
                           deposits or has not yet opened for business, a
                           deposit account may be established at another banking
                           office on behalf of the Banking Office if designated
                           as such. The Bank's accounting system tracks and
                           accounts for all depository accounts on a daily
                           basis.

                                    Calendar Quarter Average: After a calendar
                           quarter has expired, the Bank will calculate the
                           calendar quarter average of deposits for accounts
                           designated as gathered on behalf of the Banking
                           Office by adding the sum of the daily general ledger
                           balance for such deposits and then dividing this sum
                           by the number of days in the calendar quarter.

                  All determinations regarding whether the Deposit Goal has been
                  met as of any date shall be made by the Corporation. Such
                  determinations in this regard shall be final and conclusive
                  for all purposes.

                  (c) Mechanics of Conversion. Upon the occurrence of the dates
         specified in Section 4(b) above, the outstanding Series D Preferred
         Shares shall be converted automatically without any further action by
         the holders of such shares and whether or not the certificates
         representing such shares are surrendered to the Corporation or its
         transfer agent; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be
         obligated to issue to any holder certificates evidencing the Common
         Shares issuable upon such conversion unless certificates evidencing the
         Series D Preferred Shares are delivered either to the Corporation or
         any transfer agent designated by the Corporation. Conversion shall be
         deemed to have been effected on the date of the occurrence of the dates


                                      102

<PAGE>   103


         specified in Section 4(b) above, as the case may be, and such date is
         referred to herein as the "Conversion Date." Subject to the provisions
         of Section 4(b) above, as promptly as practicable thereafter (and after
         surrender of the certificate or certificates representing the Series D
         Preferred Shares to the Corporation or any transfer agent designated by
         the Corporation), the Corporation shall issue and deliver to such
         holder a certificate or certificates for the number of full Common
         Shares to which such holder is entitled as provided in Section 4(b)
         hereof. Subject to the provisions of Section 4(b), the person in whose
         name the certificate or certificates for Common Shares are to be issued
         shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such Common Shares
         on the applicable Conversion Date.

                  (d) Fractional Shares. No fractional Common Shares or scrip
         shall be issued upon conversion of Series D Preferred Shares. In lieu
         of any fractional Common Shares which would otherwise be issuable upon
         conversion of any Series D Preferred Shares, the number of full Common
         Shares issuable upon conversion thereof shall be increased to the next
         higher number of whole shares.

                  (e) Rights After Conversion Date. From and after the
         Conversion Date (unless the Corporation defaults in issuing Common
         Shares in conversion for the outstanding Series D Preferred Shares on
         the Conversion Date), such Series D Preferred Shares shall be deemed
         not to be outstanding and all rights of the holders of such shares as
         Shareholders of the Corporation by reason of the ownership of such
         shares shall cease, except the right to receive Common Shares as
         provided in Section 4(b) herein on presentation and surrender of the
         respective certificates evidencing such Series D Preferred Shares. Upon
         presentation and surrender, on or after the Conversion Date, of any
         certificate evidencing Series D Preferred Shares (properly endorsed or
         assigned for transfer, if the Corporation shall so require), such
         shares shall be converted by the Corporation for Common Shares as
         provided in this Section 4.

                  (f) Authorized, But Unissued Shares. Any Series D Preferred
         Shares that shall at any time have been converted into Common Shares
         pursuant to this Section 4 shall, after such conversion, become
         authorized but unissued (and undesignated) preferred shares of the
         Corporation, and the certificates evidencing such shares shall be
         canceled.

                  (g) Reservation of Shares. The Corporation shall reserve at
         all times so long as any Series D Preferred Shares remain outstanding,
         free from preemptive rights, out of its treasury shares or its
         authorized but unissued Common Shares, or both, solely for the purpose
         of effecting the conversion of the Series D Preferred Shares,
         sufficient Common Shares to provide for the conversion of all
         outstanding Series D Preferred Shares.

                  (h) Fully Paid and Nonassessable Shares. All Common Shares or
         other securities which may be issued upon conversion of the Series D
         Preferred Shares will upon issuance by the Corporation be duly and
         validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes,


                                      103

<PAGE>   104

         liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof and the
         Corporation shall take no action which would cause a contrary result.

         5. Conversion Ratio Adjustments. The number of Common Shares into which
the Series D Preferred Shares shall be converted pursuant to Section 4 (the
"Conversion Ratios") and the securities or other property deliverable upon
conversion of the Series D Preferred Shares shall be subject to adjustment from
time to time as follows:

                  (a) Share Subdivisions or Split-Ups. If the number of Common
         Shares outstanding at any time after the date of issuance of the Series
         D Preferred Shares is increased by a subdivision or split-up of Common
         Shares, then immediately after the record date fixed for the
         determination of holders of Common Shares entitled to receive such
         subdivision or split-up, as the case may be, the Conversion Ratios
         shall be appropriately increased so that the holder of any Series D
         Preferred Shares thereafter converted shall be entitled to receive the
         number of Common Shares of the Corporation which the holder would have
         owned immediately following such action had such Series D Preferred
         Shares been converted immediately prior thereto.

                  (b) Combinations of Shares. If the number of Common Shares
         outstanding at any time after the date of issuance of the Series D
         Preferred Shares is decreased by a combination of the outstanding
         Common Shares, then, immediately after the effective date of such
         combination, the Conversion Ratios applicable thereto shall be
         appropriately decreased so that the holder of any Series D Preferred
         Shares thereafter converted shall be entitled to receive the number of
         Common Shares of the Corporation which the holder would have owned
         immediately following such action had such Series D Preferred Shares
         been converted immediately prior thereto.

                  (c) Reorganization, Reclassification, Merger, Sale of All
         Assets, etc. In case of any capital reorganization of the Corporation,
         or of any reclassification of the Common Shares, or in case of the
         consolidation of the Corporation with or the merger of the Corporation
         with or into any other Person or of the sale, lease or other transfer
         of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation to any
         other Person, or in the case of any distribution of cash or other
         assets or of notes or other indebtedness of the Corporation or any
         other securities of the Corporation (except Common Shares) to the
         holders of its Common Shares, each Series D Preferred Share shall,
         after such capital reorganization, reclassification, consolidation,
         merger, sale, lease or other transfer or such distribution, be
         convertible into the number of shares or other securities or property
         to which the Common Shares issuable (at the time of such capital
         reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, lease or
         other transfer or such distribution) upon conversion of such Series D
         Preferred Shares would have been entitled upon such capital
         reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, lease or
         other transfer or such distribution in place of (or in addition to, in
         the case of any such event after which Common Shares remain
         outstanding) the Common Shares into which such Series D Preferred
         Shares would otherwise have been convertible; and in any such case, if
         necessary, the provisions set


                                      104
<PAGE>   105

         forth herein with respect to the rights and interest thereafter of the
         holders of Series D Preferred Shares shall be appropriately adjusted so
         as to be applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be, to any shares or
         other securities or property thereafter deliverable on the conversion
         of the Series D Preferred Shares.

                  (d) Rounding of Calculations; Minimum Adjustment. All
         calculations under this Section 5 shall be made to the nearest one
         hundredth (1/100th) of a Common Share, as the case may be. Any
         provision of this Section 5 to the contrary notwithstanding, no
         adjustment in the Conversion Ratios shall be made if the amount of such
         adjustment would be less than one hundredth of a Common Share, but any
         such amount shall be carried forward and an adjustment with respect
         thereto shall be made at the time of any subsequent adjustment which,
         together with such amount and any other amount or amounts so carried
         forward, shall aggregate one hundredth of a Common Share or more.

                  (e) Timing of Issuance of Additional Common Shares upon
         Certain Adjustments. In any case in which the provisions of this
         Section 5 shall require that an adjustment shall become effective
         immediately after a record date for an event, the Corporation may defer
         until the occurrence of such event issuing to the holder of any Series
         D Preferred Shares converted after such record date and before the
         occurrence of such event the additional Common Shares or other property
         issuable or deliverable upon such conversion by reason of the
         adjustment required by such event over and above the Common Shares or
         other property issuable or deliverable upon such conversion before
         giving effect to such adjustment; provided, however, that the
         Corporation upon request shall deliver to such holder a due bill or
         other appropriate instrument evidencing such holder's right to receive
         such additional shares or other property, and such cash, upon the
         occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment.

                  (f) Statement Regarding Adjustments. Whenever the Conversion
         Ratios shall be adjusted as provided in this Section 5, the Corporation
         shall forthwith file, at the office of any transfer agent for the
         Series D Preferred Shares and at the principal office of the
         Corporation a statement showing in detail the facts requiring such
         adjustment and the Conversion Ratios that shall be in effect after such
         adjustment, and the Corporation shall also cause a copy of such
         statement to be mailed, first class postage prepaid, to each holder of
         Series D Preferred Shares at its address appearing on the Corporation's
         records.

                  (g) Cost. The Corporation shall pay all documentary, stamp,
         transfer or other transactional taxes attributable to the issuance or
         delivery of Common Shares of the Corporation or other securities or
         property upon conversion of any Series D Preferred Shares; provided,
         however, that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any taxes
         which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the
         issuance or delivery of any certificate for such shares or securities
         in the name other than that of the holder of Series D Preferred Shares
         in respect of which such shares are being issued.

         6. Voting. The holders of Series D Preferred Shares shall have no right
or power to vote on any matter except as required by law. In any matter on which
the holders of Series D Preferred Shares shall, as a matter of law, be entitled
to vote, the holders shall be entitled to one vote for each Series D Preferred
Share held.

         7.       Liquidation Rights.

                  (a) Upon the dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the
         Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of Series D
         Preferred Shares then outstanding shall be entitled to receive out of
         the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to equity
         holders, an amount per share in cash equal to the Purchase Price before
         any payment or distribution shall be made on the Common Shares or on
         any other class of capital shares of the Corporation ranking junior to
         the Series D Preferred Shares upon liquidation. The Series D Preferred
         Shares shall rank at parity with all outstanding shares of any other
         series of preferred shares. The consolidation or merger of the
         Corporation, or a sale, exchange or transfer of all or substantially
         all of its assets as an entirety, shall not be regarded as a
         "dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation" within the
         meaning of this Section 7(a).

                  (b) After the payment to the holders of Series D Preferred
         Shares of the full preferential amounts fixed hereby for Series D
         Preferred Shares, the holders of Series D Preferred Shares as such
         shall have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the
         Corporation.

                  (c) If the assets of the Corporation available for
         distribution to the holders of Series D Preferred Shares upon
         dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation are
         insufficient to pay in full all amounts to which such holders are
         entitled pursuant to Section 7(a), no distribution shall be made on
         account of any shares of a class or series of capital shares of the
         Corporation ranking on a parity with the Series D Preferred Shares, if
         any, upon such dissolution, liquidation or winding up unless
         proportionate distributive amounts shall be paid on account of the
         Series D Preferred Shares, ratably, in proportion to the full
         distributable amounts for which holders of all such parity shares are
         respectively entitled upon such dissolution, liquidation or winding up.

         8. Reports to Holders of Series D Preferred Shares. For so long as
there shall remain outstanding any Series D Preferred Shares, the Corporation
shall furnish to each holder of record of Series D Preferred Shares (i) all
reports or other correspondence sent by the Corporation to holders of record of
the Common Shares of the Corporation, and (ii) a quarterly report setting forth
the average monthly deposits on behalf of the Banking Office.

         9. Certain Covenants. So long as any Series D Preferred Shares are
outstanding, without the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of
the outstanding Series D Preferred Shares, the Corporation shall not amend,
alter or repeal any provisions of this resolution establishing Series D
Convertible Preferred Shares, or otherwise amend, alter or repeal any


                                      106

<PAGE>   107

provision of the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation so as to affect
adversely the preferences, rights, powers or privileges of the Series D
Preferred Shares.

         10. Certain Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated but
not expressly provided for by the provisions of Section 4 or Section 5 herein,
then the Corporation's Board of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in
the Conversion Ratios for the Series D Preferred Shares to protect the rights of
the holders thereof.

         11. Exclusion of Other Rights. Unless otherwise required by law, the
Series D Preferred Shares shall not have any voting powers, preferences or
relative, participating, optional or other special rights other than those
specifically set forth herein.
