         The shares  represented by this  certificate  are issued subject to all
the provisions of the Articles of  Incorporation  and Bylaws of CBCT Bancshares,
Inc. (the  "Corporation")  as from time to time amended  (copies of which are on
file at the principal executive offices of the Corporation).

         The Corporation's  Articles of Incorporation  provides that no "person"
(as  defined in the  Articles  of  Incorporation)  who  "beneficially  owns" (as
defined in the Articles of  Incorporation)  in excess of 10% of the  outstanding
shares of the Corporation shall be entitled to vote any shares held in excess of
such limit.  This provision of the Articles of Incorporation  shall not apply to
an  acquisition  of securities of the  Corporation by an employee stock purchase
plan  or  other  employee  benefit  plan  of  the  Corporation  or  any  of  its
subsidiaries.

         The Corporation's  Articles of Incorporation  also includes a provision
the general effect of which is to require the affirmative vote of the holders of
80% of the  outstanding  voting  shares of the  Corporation  to approve  certain
"business  combinations" (as defined in the Articles of  Incorporation)  between
the  Corporation  and a stockholder  owning in excess of 10% of the  outstanding
shares of the Corporation.  However,  only the affirmative vote of a majority of
the outstanding shares or such vote as is otherwise required by law (rather than
the 80% voting requirement) is applicable to the particular transaction if it is
approved  by a majority  of the  "disinterested  directors"  (as  defined in the
Articles of Incorporation) or, alternatively,  the transaction satisfies certain
minimum price and procedural requirements.

         The  Corporation  will  furnish to any  stockholder  upon  request  and
without charge a full  statement of the powers,  designations,  preferences  and
relative  participating,  optional or other  special  rights of each  authorized
class  of  stock  or  series  thereof  and the  qualifications,  limitations  or
restrictions of such preferences and/or rights, to the extent that the same have
been fixed, and of the authority of the board of directors to designate the same
with respect to other series.  Such request may be made to the Corporation or to
its Transfer Agent and Registrar.

         The following  abbreviations,  when used in the inscription on the face
of this certificate,  shall be construed as though they were written out in full
according to applicable laws or regulations:
