Item 5.  Other Events.

         On August 25, 2000, Century Bancshares, Inc. (the "Company") completed
its previously announced purchase of certain assets and assumption of certain
deposits and other liabilities of the branch of Resource Bank located at 1498
North Point Village Center, Reston, Virginia (the "Reston Branch"). As part of
the transaction, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Century National Bank
(the "Bank"), assumed approximately $52 million in deposits of the Reston Branch
from Resource Bank and obligations under the Reston Branch's lease and acquired
approximately $3.4 million in mortgage loans from the Reston Branch's portfolio.

         The assumption of the deposits and other liabilities by the Bank was
made pursuant to a Purchase and Assumption Agreement by and between the Bank and
Resource Bank dated May 22, 2000, as amended by that certain  Amendment No. 1 to
Purchase and Assumption Agreement by and between Resource Bank and the Bank (the
"Reston Agreement").  In consideration of the assumption of the deposits and
other liabilities, Resource Bank made a cash transfer to the Bank on the closing
date of approximately $43.9 million, representing the total amount of the
liabilities assumed, including interest posted or accrued thereon, less an
amount equal to the sum on the closing date of (i) the face value of vault cash
at the Reston Branch, (ii) $1,000,000 for the leasehold interest and leasehold
improvements and certain personal property located at the Reston Branch, (iii)
the unpaid principal balance and accrued interest thereon of certain overdraft
protection loans and certain other loans, (iv) certain proration items, and (v)
an amount, not to exceed $4,000,000, equal to 7.2% of the balance of the
deposits assumed as of the closing date, excluding deposits of the Reston Branch
and its directors, officers, employees, affiliates, principal shareholders or
their families or related interests and certain other types of deposits.

         In connection with the transaction, Resource Bank has agreed, for a
period of two years after the closing, that neither it nor any of its
subsidiaries, affiliates, successors or assigns will enter into any agreement to
acquire, lease, purchase, own, operate or use any building, office or other
facility or premises within a three mile radius of the Reston Branch location
for the purpose of accepting deposits or cashing checks provided, however, that
Resource Bank shall be permitted to operate facilities in Herndon,  Virginia at
698 Elden Street, 625 Elden Street and 500 Grove Street. In addition, Resource
Bank has agreed that neither it nor its subsidiaries or affiliates (including
the directors, officers,

<PAGE>


employees or principal shareholders), successors or assigns will, for a period
of two years after  closing, solicit deposits, loans or other business from
customers whose deposits are assumed or whose loans are acquired pursuant to the
Reston Agreement provided, however, that Resource Bank or any of its
subsidiaries, affiliates, successors or assigns shall not be prohibited from
engaging in general media advertising by means of publications of general
circulation in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan market or broadcast stations
serving such market.
         In connection with the transaction, the Bank assumed the lease for the
Restom Branch's location at 1498 North Point Village Center, Reston, Virginia.
The Reston Branch is located in Fairfax County, Virginia. The Reston Branch
premises consist of approximately 2600 square feet, which are under lease
through 2013, with the option to renew the lease for two successive terms of 5
years each.

         (f) All right, title and interest of Seller in and to the safe deposit

         1.02  Assumption of Liabilities.  At the Closing, upon the terms and
subject to the conditions of this Agreement and subject to adjustment as

         (a) The deposit accounts held at the Branch, whether represented by
collected or uncollected funds, together with all accrued and unpaid interest

funded by assumed deposit accounts, which deposit accounts are identified by

<PAGE>


         (d) The safe deposit business at the Branch.

The Liabilities shall not include any liabilities of Seller of any kind or
description not specifically identified herein or in the Exhibits hereto.

         1.03 Closing Date Adjustments to Assets and  Liabilities.  At and as of
the Closing Date, Seller shall update all Exhibits provided for in Sections 1.01
and 1.02 (including in Exhibit 1.02(a) the names and addresses of customers for
accounts included in the Deposits) and shall deliver such updated Exhibits to
Purchaser.

         1.04 Consideration for Purchase and Assumption.  In consideration for
the sale of the Assets by Seller and the assumption by Purchaser of the
Liabilities, Seller shall make available and transfer to Purchaser, in the
manner specified in Section 1.06 hereof, funds equal to the sum of the aggregate
balance of all of the Deposits (as set forth on the balance sheet of Seller at
the close of business on Closing Date prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles applied on a basis consistent with prior periods)
including interest posted or accrued to such accounts as of the close of
business on the Closing Date, less an amount equal to the sum of:

         (a)     The face value of the Vault Cash;
         (b)     The sum of $1,000,000 for the Real Estate Interests and the
Personal Property;
         (c)     The unpaid principal balance and accrued interest thereon of
the Overdraft Protection Loans and the Loans determined as of the close of
business of the Branch on the Closing Date;
         (d)     The Purchaser's share of the pro rata adjustment of items
required pursuant to Section 1.05; and
         (e)     An amount equal to 7.2% of the Deposits on the Closing Date,
provided that such amount shall not exceed $4,000,000 ("Premium").

         In the event that the sum of items (a) through (e) above should be in
excess of the aggregate amount to be transferred by Seller pursuant to the first
paragraph of this Section 1.04, the full amount of such excess shall constitute
an amount due from Purchaser to Seller and shall be paid to Seller at the
Closing in the manner specified in Section 1.06 hereof.

         In calculating the amount of the Premium in Section 1.04(e) of the
Agreement, the following amounts shall be excluded from the Deposits: (i) the
balance of certificates of deposit, if any, required to reduce the amount of
total Deposits to comply with Section 6.07(a) and/or the certificate of deposit
percentage to comply with Section 6.07(b), and (ii) the balance of accounts held
by Seller or any of its directors, officers, employees, affiliates, principal
shareholders or their families or related interests.  With respect to the
foregoing accounts, Seller shall be exempt from the provisions of Section
2.17(f) of the Agreement and therefore be permitted (but not required) to
transfer such accounts to another one of Seller's branches prior to Closing.
Any such transfer shall not be deemed (a) to effect a material adverse change
pursuant to Section 2.17(a); (b) to be a change in any method of management or
operation of the Branch pursuant to Section 2.17(d); or to be a transaction
other than in the ordinary course of business pursuant to Sections 2.17(h) or
4.01. Exhibit 1.02(a) to this Agreement contains a separate listing of the
accounts described in (ii) above as of the date of this Agreement, which list
shall be updated as provided by this Agreement.

         1.05 Pro Rata Adjustment and Reimbursement. Unless otherwise provided
herein, it is the intention of the parties that Seller will operate the Branch
for its own account until the close of business on Closing Date and that
Purchaser shall operate the Branch, hold the Assets and assume the Liabilities
for its own account after the close of business on the Closing Date.  Thus,
except as otherwise specifically provided herein, items of proration and other
adjustments shall be prorated as of close of business of the Branch on the
Closing Date and settled between Seller and Purchaser on the Closing Date
whether or not such adjustment would normally be made as of such time.  Items of
proration and adjustment will be handled at Closing as an adjustment to the
amount of funds to be delivered by Seller to Purchaser, or Purchaser to Seller,
as appropriate, unless otherwise agreed.

         For purposes of this Agreement, items of proration and other
adjustments shall consist of: (i) rental payments under the Lease; (ii) sales
and use taxes and personal and real property taxes and assessments; (iii) FDIC
deposit insurance assessments; (iv) safe deposit rental payments; and (v) other
prepaid expenses and items and accrued and unpaid liabilities, if any, as of the
close of business on the Closing Date.

         1.06 Closing.

         (a) The consummation and closing ("Closing") of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement shall take place as of the close of business of
the Branch on the Friday next following the receipt of all necessary regulatory,
corporate and other approvals, the expiration of any mandatory waiting periods
and the satisfaction or waiver of all other conditions set forth in Sections 6
and 7, or on such other date as shall be  mutually agreed to by the parties
hereto.  The date on which the Closing takes place is referred to herein as the
"Closing Date".  The Closing shall take place at Resource Bank, 500 Grove St.,
Suite 300, Herndon, Virginia 20170, as of the close of business of the Branch,
on the Closing Date, or at such other place and time as shall be mutually
agreed to by the parties hereto.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the
intention of the parties as of the date hereof that the Closing become effective
on the Closing Date by means of an exchange of documents without the physical
meeting of the parties as set forth above.

         (b) Subject to the adjustment procedures set forth in this Section
1.06, the transfer of the funds, if any, due to Purchaser or to Seller, as the
case may be, as set forth pursuant to the terms of Section 1.04 hereof, shall be
made on the Closing Date in immediately available United States Federal Funds.
At least two business days prior to the Closing, Seller and Purchaser shall
provide written notice to one another indicating the account and bank to which
such funds shall be wire transferred.  In order to facilitate the Closing, the
parties agree:  (i) that the amount of funds transferred on the Closing Date,
pursuant to Section 1.04 hereof, shall be computed based upon (a) the aggregate
book value of the Assets and the Liabilities as of the close of business on the
day immediately preceding the Closing Date and (b) the estimated amount of the
Premium; and (ii) that within ten (10) business days after the Closing, the
parties shall make appropriate post-closing adjustments, consistent with the
provisions of Section 1.04 hereof, based upon actual Deposits, Loans, Overdraft
Protection Loans and cash transactions which took place on the Closing Date or
which took place prior to the Closing Date but which were not reflected as of
the close of business on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date. Such
adjustment amount shall bear interest computed from the Closing Date to the
settlement date based on the rate prevailing on the settlement date for Federal
Funds sold to First Union National Bank.

         (c) The payments to be made pursuant to Section 1.04 shall be as set
forth and calculated in accordance with the settlement statement prepared in
connection with the Closing, substantially in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit 1.06(c).

         1.07 Seller's Actions at Closing.  On the Closing Date, the Seller
shall:

         (a) deliver to Purchaser such of the Assets as are capable of physical
delivery, including, without limitation, all records, documents and files of

Branch premises, except as otherwise provided elsewhere in this Agreement;

         (b) execute, acknowledge and deliver to Purchaser all such

provide Purchaser with reasonable access to such records as provided in this
Agreement;

         (d) assign, transfer and deliver to Purchaser all records in possession

         Seller agrees that it will preserve and safely keep, for so long as may
be required under applicable law, all of the files and records not transferred
to Purchaser which relate to the Assets and Liabilities, for the mutual benefit
of itself and Purchaser, and that it will, upon the request of Purchaser and in
a timely manner, consult and review such files and records and provide Purchaser
with such information relating to pre-Closing transactions and activity relating
to the Assets and Liabilities as Purchaser may reasonably require.  For purposes
of this Section 1.07, where possible, physical delivery may be accomplished by
the transfer of control over the Branch from Seller to Purchaser at the Closing.

         1.08 Purchaser's Actions at Closing.  On the Closing Date, the

         (a) pay to Seller any funds required to be paid to Seller pursuant to
the terms of this Agreement; and

         (b) execute, acknowledge and deliver to Seller all certificates and
other documents required to be delivered to Seller by Purchaser at the Closing
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

         1.09 Certain Pre-Closing Transitional Matters.

         (a) Seller shall provide such records and other information as shall be
necessary to enable Purchaser to send, subsequent to the receipt of all required
regulatory approvals and approximately 10 days prior to the Closing Date, at
Purchaser's cost and expense, to each depositor or other holder of a Liability,
a letter prepared by Purchaser and reasonably acceptable to Seller, notifying
each such depositor or holder of the prospective assignment of the Liability
pursuant to this Agreement and providing information about Purchaser and its
banking services.  Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser to enable Purchaser, at
Purchaser's expense, prior to the Closing, to reissue checks and other similar
documents and instruments to depositors whose Liabilities are to be assumed by
Purchaser hereunder.

         (b) Prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser shall designate a successor
trustee or custodian, which may be Purchaser, as to any IRA constituting a
Liability and for which Seller acts as trustee or custodian.  Seller  will
transfer the trusteeship or custodianship of all such IRAs to such successor
trustee or custodian on the Closing Date.  Seller shall be responsible for all
federal, state and local income tax reporting for such accounts for the period
ending on the Closing Date, and the successor trustee or custodian shall be
responsible for such reporting thereafter.

         (c) In order to assist Purchaser with the conversion of Seller's data
concerning Branch operations to Purchaser's systems, Seller shall, at its cost
and expense, within 10 days of the date of this Agreement, provide to Purchaser
a master file original and record file layout tape or tapes concerning the
Deposits and Loans and a master file print and all product specifications to

information on Deposits, Loans, safe deposit boxes and ATM cards.  Such tape(s)
and other information shall be as of a recent date mutually agreeable to
Purchaser and Seller and shall be updated by Seller and delivered to Purchaser
at and as of the Closing Date.

         1.10 Certain Post-Closing Transitional Matters.

         (a) Seller and Purchaser agree that each party shall be solely
responsible for providing to the Internal Revenue Service and to each depositor,
other holder of a Liability or customer, to the extent required by law, Forms
1098, 1099 INT, 1099R and 5498 and other applicable reporting forms with respect
to each of the Liabilities and Assets for the period during which Seller or
Purchaser, as applicable, administers such Liabilities and Assets during 2000.

         (b) Within ten (10) business days following the Closing Date, Seller
shall prepare and mail closing statements for each Deposit for which there has
been any activity between the last statement prior to Closing and the close of
business on the Closing Date, for the period from the date of the last statement
to and including the Closing Date, and provide Purchaser with a copy.

         (c) Purchaser agrees to pay in accordance with law and customary
banking practices all properly drawn and presented checks, drafts and withdrawal
orders presented to Purchaser by mail, over the counter or through the check
clearing system of the banking industry, by depositors relating to the Deposits,
whether drawn on checks, withdrawal or draft forms provided by Purchaser or
Seller, and in all other respects to discharge, in the usual course of the
banking business, the duties and obligations of Seller with respect to the
balances due and owing to the depositors with respect to whom Purchaser has
assumed the Deposits.  Purchaser's obligation hereunder to honor checks, drafts
and withdrawal orders on forms provided by Seller and carrying its imprint shall
not apply to any such check, draft or withdrawal order presented to Purchaser
more than 120 days following the Closing Date.

         (d) Holds that have been placed on particular Liabilities by Seller or
on individual checks, draws or other instruments shall be continued by Purchaser
under the same terms.  Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a list or tape of any
such holds at the Closing.

         (e) Seller will promptly and fully recompense Purchaser for:

                  (i) items returned to Purchaser or Seller on account of fraud,
         negligence, errors or improper banking practices or procedures, which
         are drawn on or chargeable to Deposits assumed by Purchaser hereunder
         and for which the transaction date on the item was on or prior to the
         Closing Date; and

                  (ii) items  returned to Purchaser  or Seller for "uncollected
         funds" which are drawn on or chargeable to Deposits assumed by
         Purchaser hereunder, for which the transaction date of such returned
         item is on or prior to the Closing Date, but only to the extent that
         Seller has paid or honored items withdrawn on "uncollected funds" on or
         prior to the Closing Date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not be charged for any item unless
Purchaser has sustained a loss with respect to such item, after normal
collection efforts (normal collection efforts, however, shall not require
Purchaser to institute a lawsuit or any other legal action).  At time of payment
by Seller to Purchaser pursuant to this Section 1.10(e), Purchaser shall assign
to Seller any rights Purchaser may have to prosecute a claim against a third
party relating to the items.

         the parties. Purchaser and Seller agree that any courier or telephone
         costs associated with paragraph (ii) shall be borne by Purchaser.
         Seller further agrees that it shall notify Purchaser of any information
         received regarding the settlement and clearance of any foreign checks,

         Date.

         (g) From and after the Closing Date, Seller shall continue to accept

(g) and (h) Purchaser and Seller agree that Seller shall provide Purchaser by

time of each business day; the parties agree that the party obligated to remit
any funds thereunder shall do so by wire transfer before 3:00 p.m. Virginia time
of such day. Any such settlement shall be provisional pending receipt by the
respective parties of the physical items relating to such settlement; the
parties shall adjust the next daily settlement to reflect any adjustments
resulting from its receipt of the physical items.

         (k) In case of any dispute with or inquiry by an account holder whose
Deposit is assumed under this Agreement, which dispute or inquiry relates to the
servicing of such Deposit by Seller prior to the date for which a Deposit
history has been provided to Purchaser, Seller will provide Purchaser with the
appropriate information regarding the Deposit and copies of pertinent documents
or instruments to the extent available with respect to such dispute or inquiry
so as to permit Purchaser to respond to the account holder within a period of
time and in a manner which would comply with standard banking practices and
customs.

         (l) As soon as practicable following the Closing Date, Purchaser will
substitute its name and logo for the name and logo of the Seller on all signs
located at the Branch and shall be entitled to remove all signs which carry the
name and logo of the Seller which Seller has not removed.  If Purchaser removes
any of such signs of Seller, such signs will be returned to Seller.

         1.11 Non-Solicitation of Business. In consideration of the purchase of
Assets and assumption of Liabilities by Purchaser, neither Seller nor its
subsidiaries, affiliates (including the directors, officers, employees or
principal shareholders), successors or assigns will, for a period of two years
after the Closing Date, solicit, on behalf of itself or others, deposits, loans
or other business from customers whose Deposits are assumed or Loans or Over-
draft Protection Loans acquired by Purchaser hereunder; provided, however, that
nothing contained in this Section 1.11 shall prohibit Seller or any of its
subsidiaries, affiliates, successors or assigns from engaging in general media
advertising by means of publications of general circulation in the Washington,
D.C. Metropolitan market or broadcast stations serving such market.

         1.12 Covenant Not to Compete.  From and after the Closing, and for a

         1.14 Survival of Covenants.  The obligations and covenants of the
parties under this Section shall survive the Closing.

                                   SECTION 2

                    Representations and Warranties of Seller

       Except as specified in the Schedule of Exceptions accompanying this
       Agreement, Seller represents and warrants to Purchaser as follows:

         2.01 Corporate Organization and Related Matters.  Seller is a state
chartered commercial bank duly organized, validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, with the corporate power and
authority to transact business in the Commonwealth of Virginia and to engage in
the banking business and all other businesses in which it engages and to own the
Assets and hold the Deposits.  Seller has the requisite corporate power and
authority to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions
contemplated hereby.  Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor
the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby violate, conflict with
or constitute a breach of any provision of the charter of Seller or its Bylaws
or (subject to any consent required to be obtained pursuant to this Agreement)
any agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which its assets are
bound, or any law, rule or regulation or any order or decree applicable by its
terms specifically to Seller or its assets.

         2.02 Execution of Agreement; Enforceability. The execution and
delivery of this Agreement and each of the documents and instruments
contemplated hereby, and the transactions contemplated hereby, have been duly
authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of Seller.  This
Agreement constitutes, and such documents and instruments will constitute,
legal, valid and binding obligations of Seller, enforceable in accordance with
their respective terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium, receivership, conservatorship and similar laws relating to the
rights and remedies of creditors, as well as to general principles of equity.

         2.03 Title to and Condition of Assets.  Seller is the owner of the
Assets and has good and marketable title thereto, free and clear of any
mortgage, pledge, lien, security interest, conditional sales agreement,
encumbrance or charge of any kind or  description, other than liens for current
taxes not yet due and payable and such encumbrances and imperfections in title,
if any, which are not substantial in character or amount or which otherwise do
not materially impair the use and enjoyment of such Assets.  No notice of any
violation of zoning laws, building or fire codes or other statutes, ordinances
or regulations relating to the use or operation of the Real Estate Interests has
been received by Seller and Seller has not undertaken any construction or
improvements on the Real Estate Interests which could result in the imposition
of any mechanics, materialmen or other similar liens on the Real Estate
Interests.  There are no condemnation proceedings pending or, to the knowledge
of Seller, threatened against the Real Estate Interests or any part thereof.
Neither the Real Estate Interests nor any other real estate owned or leased to
be conveyed or transferred to Purchaser hereunder, nor any real estate which is
pledged or stands as collateral security for any of the Loans is the subject of
any action, suit or proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of Seller,
threatened, under environmental, hazardous waste disposal or other similar
federal or state laws, rules or regulations, and none of the Real Estate
Interests or other real estate owned or leased which is to be conveyed or leased
to Purchaser hereunder or which is pledged or stands as collateral security for
any of the Loans has been used in any manner which would violate any such laws,
rules or regulations.

<PAGE>


         2.04 Actions, Suits and Proceedings.  There are no actions, suits or
proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of Seller, threatened against or
affecting Seller or the Assets or Liabilities, and no basis therefor, which, if

           2.12  Branch Lease.

           (a) The Lease is valid, binding and enforceable in accordance with
its terms subject as to enforcement to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium, laws governing fraudulent conveyance or equitable subordination
principles and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting
creditors' rights generally and to general principles of equity.  Neither Seller
nor, to Seller's knowledge, the lessor under the Lease is in default under, and
no event has occurred which, with notice of the lapse of time or both would
constitute a default under the Lease.  Seller has not previously been given
notice of any event of default, or event or condition which, with the giving of
notice or the lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default under the
Lease.  Seller has delivered a true and correct copy of the Lease to Purchaser.
The Lease is the only agreement between the Seller and the landlord thereunder
relating to the Real Estate Interest.  The Lease represents the entire agreement
between the landlord thereunder and the Seller with respect to the Branch.  All
payments of rent or other monies required to be paid by Seller pursuant to the
Lease have been paid.  The terms of the Lease permit Seller to use the premises
subject to the Lease as an office of a bank.

           (b) Seller is not entitled to, and has made no agreements with the
landlord under the Lease, or landlord's agents, employees or representatives,
concerning free rent, partial rent, rebates of rent payments, credit, offset or
reduction of rent, or other type of rental concession including, without
limitation, Lease support payments or Lease buyouts, except as previously dis-
closed to Purchaser in writing.

           2.13 Loans.  Attached hereto as Exhibits 1.01(c) and 1.01(d) are true
and accurate schedules of all Loans and Overdraft Protection Loans, respect-
ively, including accrued and unpaid interest thereon, computed as of a date
within 10 days prior to the date of this Agreement (which exhibits shall be up-
dated at and as of the Closing Date and, as updated, shall be true and accurate
as of such date).

           (a) Each Loan and Overdraft Protection Loan included in the Assets
was made or acquired by Seller in the ordinary course of business at the time
such Loan or Overdraft Protection Loan was made or acquired.

           (b) None of the Loans or Overdraft Protection Loans included in the
Assets is presently serviced by third parties, and there are no obligations,
agreements or understandings whatsoever that could result in any such Loan or
Overdraft Protection Loan becoming subject to any such third party servicing.

                                      -14-

<PAGE>

           (c) There are no misrepresentations of material facts made by
officers or employees of Seller in the credit files relating to the Loans and
Overdraft Protection Loans, provided that the term "facts" shall not include
judgments or opinions of such officers or employees which were in good faith or
information which is reflective of information supplied by the borrower.

           (d)  With respect to each Loan and each Overdraft Protection Loan
originated by Seller and being transferred to Purchaser and to the knowledge of
Seller with respect to each loan purchased by Seller and being transferred to
Purchaser:

           (i)  Such Loan or Overdraft Protection Loan was solicited, originated
                and currently exists in material compliance with all applicable
                requirements of federal, state and local laws and regulations
                promulgated thereunder (for purposes of this clause (i), a Loan
                or Overdraft Protection Loan would not be in material compliance
                if the noncompliance adversely affects the value or collect-
                ibility of the Loan or Overdraft Protection Loan or subjects the
                lender to any penalty or liability);

           (ii) Each note, agreement or other instrument evidencing a Loan or
                Overdraft Protection Loan and any related security agreement or
                instrument (including, without limitation, any guaranty or
                similar instrument) constitutes a valid, legal and binding
                obligation of the obligor thereunder, enforceable in accordance
                with its terms, subject as to enforcement to bankruptcy, in-
                solvency, reorganization, moratorium, laws governing fraudulent
                conveyance or equitable subordination principles and other laws
                of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors'
                rights generally and to general principles of equity; and all
                actions necessary to perfect any related security interest have
                been duly taken;

           (iii)There has been no material modification to or material waiver of
                the terms of the applicable loan documents except as evidenced
                in documents executed by the parties and included in such loan
                documents; and

           (iv) To Seller's knowledge (as defined in Section 9.10 hereof), there
                is no valid claim or valid defense to the enforcement of such
                Loans and Overdraft Protection Loans, and Seller has not taken
                or failed to take any action that would entitle any obligor or
                other party to assert successfully any claim against Seller or
                Purchaser (including without limitation any right not to repay
                any such obligation or any part thereof).

           2.14 Personal Property. Exhibit 1.01(b) is a true and accurate
schedule of the categories of Personal Property owned by Seller at the Branch,
as of May 5, 2000, and describing any security interest therein or lien thereon.

ordinary wear and tear excepted.

obligation affecting the Assets and Liabilities without first obtaining

action or omit to take any action which would make any representation or
warranty contained in Section 3 hereof untrue in any material respect.

                                    SECTION 5

without limitation any of its or their officers, directors, employees or
significant stockholders) relating to any acquisition or purchase of any portion
of the Assets or Liabilities, or any equity interest in Seller or any business
interest in Seller or any subsidiary  which would impair or otherwise interfere
with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.  Seller shall
promptly cease and cause to be terminated any current negotiations conducted
with any parties other than Purchaser with respect to the acquisition or
purchase of any portion of the Assets or Liabilities, or any equity interest in
Seller or any business interest in Seller or any subsidiary which would impair
or otherwise interfere with the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby, and shall request the immediate return of any and all information
supplied to any such party in connection therewith.  Any consent heretofore
granted by Seller or its affiliates to permit persons to make any such proposal

with such additional financial and other data and information regarding the
Assets and Liabilities as Purchaser reasonably may request from time to time,
including without limitation any information required for inclusion in all
governmental applications necessary to effect the transactions contemplated
hereby.  Upon reasonable notice, Seller shall permit officers and authorized
representatives of Purchaser access to inspect the Branch during normal business
hours or at such other time mutually agreed by both parties and permit Purchaser
to make or cause to be made such reasonable investigation of information and
materials relating to the financial condition of the Branch, including, if any,
general and subsidiary ledgers, deposit records and any other information

           5.03 Confidentiality.  Purchaser will, and will cause its officers,
directors, employees and agents to, hold in strictest confidence and not
disclose to any other person or entity without the prior written consent of
Seller, all information received by Purchaser from or with respect to Seller in
connection with this Agreement and the transaction contemplated hereby,  except
such information as may otherwise be publicly available or except such in-
formation as may be required to be disclosed by applicable law in connection
with governmental applications or otherwise. Likewise, the Seller will, and will
cause its officers, directors, employees and agents to, hold information
concerning the Purchaser in strict confidence. These confidentiality obligations
shall survive the termination of this Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Purchaser and Seller agree that they will jointly prepare and issue a press
release announcing that Purchaser will be acquiring the Assets and assuming the
Deposits pursuant to this Agreement, which press release shall be mutually
agreeable to the Purchaser and Seller.

           5.04 Applications, Consents and Approvals.

         (a) Purchaser shall prepare and file all  applications,  as required by
law, with the appropriate federal and state banking regulatory authorities for
approval to purchase the Assets and to assume the Liabilities of and to
establish a branch at the location of the Branch of Seller not later than twenty
one (21) days following the execution of this Agreement and to effect in all
other respects the transaction contemplated hereby.

         (b)  Seller shall use its best efforts (i) to assist Purchaser in
preparing and filing all applications as required by law, to the appropriate
federal and state regulatory authorities; and (ii) to obtain any further
consents or authorizations to consummate in all other respects the transactions
contemplated hereby.

         (c)  Purchaser and Seller shall comply with the normal and usual
requirements imposed by regulatory authorities applicable to effectuate
transactions such as the transaction contemplated hereby, shall use their
respective good faith efforts to obtain any required permission of such
regulatory authorities and to provide to each other any additional assistance
that would expedite preparations for the sale of the Assets and the assumption
of Liabilities to Purchaser.  Purchaser shall make draft copies of its
applications and filings available to Seller and its counsel on request
(excluding confidential Purchaser information), shall process all applications
in a diligent manner and on a priority basis, and shall provide Seller with
copies of all materials filed with regulatory authorities or other third parties
in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (excluding confidential
Purchaser information). Purchaser and Seller shall promptly notify each other of
the scheduling of any meeting with federal or state regulatory authorities
concerning the subject matter hereof and shall use their best efforts to permit
representatives of the other or their respective counsel to attend any such
meetings.

                                      -20-

         (d) Seller will use its best efforts to obtain promptly and diligently
all consents and approvals of third parties to the transactions contemplated
hereby, including, but not limited to the consent of the landlord under the
Lease to the assignment of the Lease to Purchaser.

           5.05 Reports to Purchaser. Until the earliest to occur of the Closing
Date or the termination of this Agreement,  Seller shall provide to Purchaser a
monthly Branch deposit summary involving the Deposits and such other reports and
information as Purchaser reasonably may request from time to time concerning the
Assets and Liabilities and the business and operations of Seller at its Branch,
provided that Seller shall not be required to take any action which would be
unduly disruptive of its business and activities. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser of any material adverse change in the
condition of the Assets or Liabilities.

           5.06 Operational and Data Processing Conversion Matters. Seller shall
cooperate with Purchaser's reasonable requests in order to accommodate any and
all requirements for Purchaser to convert the operations of the Branch from a
branch of Seller to a branch of Purchaser, including without limitation any
requirements for the conversion of data processing to Purchaser's systems.
Seller covenants that it will assist Purchaser with Purchaser's reasonable
requests following the Closing in the event that Purchaser is unable to complete
its requirements prior thereto. Except as otherwise provided herein, all costs
and expenses of the data processing and other similar conversions to Purchaser's
systems shall be borne by Purchaser.

           5.07 Further Assurances. Seller agrees to provide such bills of sale,
acknowledgments and other instruments of conveyance and transfer as in the
reasonable judgment of Purchaser shall be necessary and appropriate to vest in
Purchaser the legal and equitable title to the Assets, free and clear of all
liens and encumbrances. Purchaser shall be responsible for the cost of all title
examinations, titling fees and surveys relating to the Real Estate Interests.

           5.08 Allocation of Purchase Price. The purchase price of the Assets
and Liabilities hereunder shall be allocated on an allocation schedule to be
agreed to by Purchaser and Seller prior to the Closing.  Within 60 days of the
Closing, Seller shall prepare an IRS Form 8594 reflecting the allocation of the
purchase price as agreed to by Seller and Purchaser and shall submit such Form
8594 to Purchaser for review.  Purchaser shall inform Seller in writing of any
disagreements with the amounts allocated on Form 8594 within 15 days after
receipt. The amounts shown on Form 8594 shall become final should Purchaser fail
to inform Seller within 15 days.  Purchaser and Seller agree that they will not
take, nor will they permit any affiliated person to take, for income tax report-
ing purposes a position inconsistent with such allocation.

           5.09 Insurance. After the close of business on the Closing Date,
Seller will discontinue its insurance coverage maintained in connection with the
Branch and the activities conducted therein.  Purchaser shall be responsible for
all insurance protection for the Branch premises and the activities conducted
therein immediately following the close of business on the Closing Date. Pending
the Closing, risk of loss shall be the responsibility of Seller.

contemplated by this Agreement.

           6.04 Compliance Certificate. Seller shall have delivered to Purchaser

approvals necessary for the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby
and for Purchaser to operate a branch office at the location of Seller's Branch,
such approvals shall be in full force and effect and all waiting periods imposed
by law or regulation shall have expired, unless such approval imposes any
condition or requirement which in the judgment of Purchaser would adversely
impact the economic or business benefits of the transactions contemplated by the
Agreement or otherwise would in the judgment of the Purchaser be so burdensome
as to render inadvisable the consummation of the transactions contemplated by
the Agreement.

           6.06 Capital. On a pro forma basis giving effect to the consummation
 of the purchase and assumption transactions provided for in this Agreement, the
Purchaser will be "well-capitalized" as defined for bank regulatory purposes and

obligation of landlord.

writing by Purchaser, provided, however, that Purchaser will not have the right

application by Purchaser for approval of the transactions contemplated hereby;

            9.02 Employees.

         (a) Purchaser may, but shall be under no obligation to, extend offers
of employment as of the Closing Date to Seller's employees at the Branch. Seller
hereby agrees to transfer to Purchaser, promptly upon receiving a written
consent from such employees, a copy of each such employee's most recent
performance review and to permit Purchaser to review and make notes from each
such employee's entire personnel and employment file.

         (b) Such employees of Seller who accept offers of employment by
Purchaser ("Retained Employees") shall be employed upon terms and conditions of
employment determined solely by Purchaser's policies, procedures and programs;
provided, however, that for purposes of Purchaser's various employee benefit
plans following the Closing Date, time of service with the Seller will be
credited to Retained Employees for purposes of determining and calculating their
eligibility for and vesting to the greatest extent permitted under Purchaser's
plans and all preexisting conditions of Retained Employees will be waived by
Purchaser to the greatest extent permitted under Purchaser's plans.  Each
Retained Employee shall be permitted, to the extent permitted by law and the
provisions of Purchaser's plan, to participate in Purchaser's 401(k) plan and to
transfer to Purchaser's plan, amounts due to them under Seller's plan.

         (c) Seller agrees that it shall render Purchaser every assistance in
soliciting certain of its Branch employees to accept employment with Purchaser,
including but not limited to permitting Purchaser to immediately contact and
solicit such employees.  Purchaser acknowledges that Seller has made no
assurances to Purchaser with respect to such employees' accepting positions with
Purchaser and incurs no liability to Purchaser in rendering the assistance
referred to herein.

         (d) Purchaser shall have no liability to any of Seller's current
employees for any accrued wages, sick leave, vacation time, pension obligations
or any other employee benefits.  Purchaser will have no liability and will not
assume obligations under any "employee benefit plan" (as such term is defined in
the Employee Retirement Security Act of 1974, as amended) of Seller or any other
obligations (including, without limitation, severance obligations) of Seller to
the employees of the Branch.  Seller will be responsible for fulfilling, and
resolving any disputes concerning, its liabilities or obligations (including,
without limitation, severance obligations) to the employees at the Branch under
any such employee benefit plan or otherwise.  All wages and salaries, workers'
compensation payments, vacation pay and social security and unemployment taxes
of Branch employees shall be paid by Seller for the period to and including the
Closing Date.  The obligation of Seller pursuant to this Section shall survive
the Closing.

            9.03 Consents. Whenever the consent of a party is required under
this Agreement, such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Exhibit 2.2

              AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO PURCHASE AND ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT
                                 BY AND BETWEEN
                     RESOURCE BANK AND CENTURY NATIONAL BANK


         This AMENDMENT NO. 1 (the  "Amendment")  to the Purchase and Assumption
Agreement dated as of May 22, 2000 (the  "Agreement"),  by and between  RESOURCE
BANK ("Seller") and CENTURY NATIONAL BANK ("Purchaser) is dated as of August 25,
2000.

         The  Agreement  provides  for the  acquisition  of  certain  assets and
assumption of certain  liabilities of the Seller by the Purchaser.  Section 9.01
of the  Agreement  provides  that the  Agreement  may be amended by the  parties
thereto by a written instrument signed by Purchaser and Seller. The parties wish
to amend the Agreement to revise certain terms set forth in the  Agreement.  All
capitalized terms used in this Amendment without  definition are used as defined
in the Agreement.  Accordingly,  in consideration of the premises and the mutual
covenants and agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

A.       IRA Accounts

         1. As the notice  period  ("notice  period")  for a change in custodian
required to be given to IRA  account  holders  pursuant  to Seller's  Individual
Retirement  Custodial Account agreements will not expire until after the planned
August  25,  2000  Closing  under  the   Agreement,   the  parties  agree  that,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement:

                  (a) the  Deposits  relating  to the IRAs at the Branch will be
transferred to and assumed by Purchaser at Closing in accordance  with the terms
of the Agreement;

                  (b) the full amount of the Premium in respect of the  Deposits
relating  to such  IRAs  shall  be  paid by  Purchaser  on the  Closing  Date in
accordance  with the  provisions  of the  Agreement,  subject to  adjustment  in
accordance with the provisions of Section 1.06(b);

                  (c) except to the extent that any IRA account holder agrees in
writing to the earlier  appointment of Purchaser as successor custodian for such
account  holder's IRA,  Seller shall remain  custodian of the IRAs at the Branch
until the expiration of the notice period,  at which time Purchaser shall become
the successor  custodian for such IRAs in accordance  with the Agreement and the
terms of the Individual  Retirement Custodial Account agreement and Seller's tax
reporting obligations pursuant to the Agreement shall continue until transfer of
the custodianship is effective;

                  (d) if,  during  the notice  period,  any IRA  account  holder
appoints a successor  custodian  for such account  holder's  account  other than
Purchaser,  Purchaser  shall,  not later than the next  business  day  following
notice by Seller to Purchaser,  transfer the full amount of the deposit  balance
