          WHEREAS, WGNB and the Reserve Bank have mutually agreed to enter into this Written Agreement (the “Agreement”); and

 

          WHEREAS, on July 14, 2009, the board of directors of WGNB, at a duly constituted meeting, adopted a resolution authorizing and directing H.B.

          NOW, THEREFORE, WGNB and the Reserve Bank agree as follows:

 

Dividends and Distributions

 

          1.     (a)     WGNB shall not declare or pay any dividends without the prior written approval of the Reserve Bank and the Director of the Division of Banking Supervision and Regulation (the “Director”) of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Board of Governors”).

 

                   (b)     WGNB shall not directly or indirectly take dividends or any other form of payment representing a reduction in capital from the Bank without the prior written approval of the Reserve Bank.

 

                  (c)     WGNB and its nonbank subsidiary shall not make any distributions of interest, principal, or other sums on subordinated debentures or trust preferred securities without the prior written approval of the Reserve Bank and the Director.

 

                  (d)     All requests for prior approval shall be received by the Reserve Bank at least 30 days prior to the proposed dividend declaration date, proposed distribution on subordinated debentures, and required notice of deferral on trust preferred securities.
