PREAMBLE
The respective Boards of Directors of the Parties have determined that
it is the best interests of their respective institutions to restructure the
transactions contemplated by the Agreement such that the acquisition of
Brunswick ("Acquisition") will be effected in a manner that will permit
Brunswick to be operated as a commercial bank subsidiary, the deposits of which
are insured by the SAIF of the FDIC, rather than operated as a thrift subsidiary
and will consist of the following series of transactions: (i) the conversion of
Brunswick from a federally chartered stock savings bank organized under the laws
of the United States to a state chartered stock savings and loan association
organized under the laws of the State of Georgia; (ii) the conversion of
Brunswick from a state chartered stock savings and loan association organized
under the laws of the State of Georgia to a state chartered bank organized under
the laws of the State of Georgia, the deposits of which are insured by the SAIF
maintained by the FDIC; (iii) the organization of Brunswick Interim, Inc.
("Interim"), as a wholly owned subsidiary of C&S (or CSC in the event the CSC
reorganization described herein is consummated); and (iv) the merger of Interim
into and with Brunswick.
In consideration of the above, the mutual warranties, representations,
covenants and agreements set forth in the Agreement and herein, the Parties
agree as follows:

inconsistent with this Amendment Number One and the Preamble set forth herein

and loan association organized and existing under the laws of the State of
Georgia and then to a state chartered bank organized and existing under the
laws of the State of Georgia is necessary for and is a condition precedent

on the same day as consummation of the Merger. The Parties further
acknowledge that neither this Agreement, the Plan of Thrift Conversion,
nor the Amended Brunswick Articles will obligate Brunswick to consummate
either conversion other than as a condition precedent to the Merger.

Plan of Thrift Conversion, on the Effective Date and immediately prior to
the consummation of the Bank Conversion and the Merger, Brunswick shall
convert from a federally chartered stock savings bank to a state chartered

laws of the State of Georgia. The Thrift Conversion shall be consummated
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Plan of Thrift Conversion,
both of which have been approved and adopted by the Board of Directors of
Brunswick. The Thrift Conversion shall be effected by filing the Plan of
Thrift Conversion as part of the articles of conversion to be filed with
the Georgia Commissioner pursuant to Section 7-1-551 of the Georgia
Financial Institutions Code.
(b) Bank Conversion. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, on the
Effective Date and immediately subsequent to the Thrift Conversion but
immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger, Brunswick shall
convert from a state chartered savings and loan association organized and
existing under the laws of the State of Georgia to a state chartered bank
organized and existing under the
- 3 -
laws of the State of Georgia, the deposits of which are insured by SAIF,
in accordance with the provisions of and with the effect provided by 12
U.S.C. ss 1815 (d)(2)(G) and Sections 7-1-293(b) and Section 7-1-510
through 7-1-516 of the Georgia Financial Institutions Code. Upon consum-
mation of the Bank Conversion, Brunswick shall be governed by the laws of
the State of Georgia and shall continue to conduct its business under the
name "First Interim Bank of Brunswick, Georgia." The Bank Conversion
shall be consummated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the pro-
visions of the Amended Brunswick Articles, both of which have been
approved and adopted by the Board of Directors of Brunswick. The Bank
Conversion shall be effected by filing the Amended Brunswick Articles as
part of the articles of amendment to be filed with the Georgia Com-
missioner pursuant to Section 7-1-512 of the Georgia Financial
Institutions Code.
(c) Merger. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Plan of
Merger, on the Effective Date and after consummation of the Thrift Con-
version and the Bank Conversion, Brunswick Interim shall be merged into
and with Brunswick in accordance with the provisions of and with the

the entity resulting from the Merger and shall continue to exist and to be
governed by the laws of the State of Georgia as a commercial bank
operating under the name "The Citizens and Southern Bank of Xxxxx County."
The Merger shall be consummated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement
and the Plan of Merger, both of which have been approved and adopted to
the extent necessary by the Boards of Directors of C&S, CSGA, CSNB and
Brunswick and which shall be approved and adopted by the Board of
Directors of Brunswick Interim upon its organization. The Merger shall be
effected by filing the Articles of Merger with the Georgia Commissioner as
required by Section 7-1-532 of the Georgia Financial Institutions Code.

transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if this Agreement, the Plan of Thrift Conversion, the
Amended Brunswick Articles and the Plan of Merger are terminated by C&S

the willful breach by the other of any representation, warranty,
covenant, undertaking or restriction contained herein, if the
terminating Party shall not have been in breach (in any material
respect) of any representation, warranty, covenant, undertaking or
restriction contained in this Agreement, then the breaching Party shall
pay for any and all of the expenses of the terminating Party (including
but not limited to, fees and expenses of its accountants, counsel and
investment bankers) reasonably incurred in attempting to effect the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Final settlement with

11.3 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. Except as otherwise expressly provided
herein or in the Amendment Number One, this Agreement and the Plan of
Merger contain the entire agreement between the Parties with respect
to the transactions contemplated hereunder and thereunder, and such
agreements supersede all prior arrangements or understandings with
respect thereto, written or oral. The terms and conditions of this
Agreement and the Plan of Merger shall inure to the benefit of and be
binding upon the Parties and their respective successors. Nothing in
this Agreement, the Plan of Thrift Conversion, and Amended Brunswick
Articles or the Plan of Merger expressed or implied, is intended to
confer upon any Party, other than the Parties or their respective
successors, any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or
by reason of this Agreement, the Plan of Thrift Conversion, the
Amended Brunswick Articles or the Plan of Merger, except as expressly
provided herein or therein.

of the outstanding shares of Brunswick Common Stock, and that no

35. This Amendment Number One may be executed in two counterparts, each
of which shall be deemed an original, but both of which when taken together
shall constitute one and the same instrument.
