AGREEMENT FOR BANKING SUPPORT SERVICES

This Agreement for Banking Support Services is made and entered into as of the
1st day of January, 1994, by and between First-Citizens Bank & Trust Company, a
North Carolina banking corporation ("FCB"), and The Fidelity Bank, a banking
corporation incorporated under the laws of North Carolina (the "Client").

In support of its own banking operations, FCB has developed the staff,
resources, organization, and technology required to deliver a broad variety of
banking products and services to FCB's customers. The organization created by
FCB now has the expertise, technology, and excess capacity to provide banking
and support services and other related banking products and services to other
financial institutions. The processes, programs, products and services to be
provided under this Agreement are referred to collectively as the "services."
The Client, recognizing the benefits it can derive by subscribing to various
services offered by FCB, desires to utilize and avail itself of the expertise,
technology, and excess capacity of FCB. For and in consideration of the terms
and conditions contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable
consideration, FCB and the Client agree as follows:

1.    The parties intend for this Agreement to be a "master" agreement. This
      Agreement identifies the overall framework within which FCB will offer
      various services from time to time to the Client. This Agreement is not
      exclusive, however, and the parties may enter into various other
      agreements outside the scope of this Agreement. The nature, scope and cost
      of specific services to which the Client may subscribe pursuant to this
      Agreement will be identified on one or more forms entitled "Specific
      Services Schedule", an example of which is attached to this Agreement and
      incorporated herein by reference. The nature and scope of the services to
      be provided by FCB, and the terms and conditions under which the services
      will be provided, may therefore be modified from time to time by the
      parties by the execution of new or amended Specific Services Schedules
      executed by FCB and the Client. The purpose of this arrangement is to
      insure flexibility for the delivery of specific services under the
      "umbrella" of this master agreement. Each Specific Services Schedule duly
      executed by both parties shall become a part of this Agreement.

2.    By way of example, but not by way of limitation, FCB may offer the Client
      some or all of the following bank-related services: accounting, internal
      auditing, administrative, personnel administration (including payroll
      services and benefits administration), check processing, courier, data
      processing, loan servicing, shared research and development for products
      and services, marketing, and education and training. FCB may also license
      or sell the Client the right to use certain other products and services
      offered by FCB to its customers which fall outside the scope of this
      Agreement. The foregoing list is not intended to be a comprehensive list
      of all of the various services which may be offered from time to time by
      FCB on a subscription basis.

3.    The Client agrees to pay FCB for all services rendered by FCB under this
      Agreement. Invoices shall be due and payable upon presentation. The
      initial fees, rates and charges for the services to be provided by FCB
      (collectively, the "fees"), shall be as set forth on the Specific Services
      Schedule applicable to such services. The fees (including those "standard
      rates" adopted by FCB) may be increased or decreased by FCB from time to
      time, provided:



      A.    FCB may not increase fees more frequently than annually;

      B.    No annual fee increase shall be greater than five percent
            (compounded annually), but the Client agrees to negotiate in good
            faith with respect to fee increases in excess of five percent
            requested by FCB necessary to cover the costs of providing the
            service or services in question; and

      C.    FCB may pass on to the Client any increased "pass-through" charges
            or fees.

      In addition to the fees charged by FCB, FCB shall be entitled to recover
      its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. Any increase in fees shall become
      effective only after FCB gives the Client at least 45 days prior written
      notice of the increase. All such fees shall be determined in an "arms
      length" manner. In determining its pricing structure, FCB will
      periodically conduct surveys of the marketplace to insure that the fees
      are reasonable in light of the nature, extent, and quality of the services
      to be delivered according to this Agreement and competitive in the
      marketplace. The Client acknowledges that it is not a "captive" customer.
      When goods and services are offered by FCB, the Client shall conduct its
      own market survey to determine whether the nature, extent, quality and
      price of the services offered by FCB are satisfactory to the Client.

4.    In order to deliver the services contemplated by this Agreement, FCB may
      require from the Client access to or delivery of various information,
      data, records, materials, commercial banking items, and policies and
      procedures (collectively referred to in this Agreement as the "input
      data"). The Client will prepare and process input data with reasonable
      care in a manner acceptable to FCB and in a manner commercially reasonable
      given the range of services to be provided by FCB. The Client will deliver
      input data to the place designated by FCB for processing in a timely
      manner according to the timetable prescribed from time to time by FCB. In
      addition, the Client will furnish all necessary records and materials
      reasonably required by FCB to provide the services contemplated by this
      Agreement, even though such records and materials are not specifically
      identified in this Agreement.

5.    All deliveries and pick ups from FCB shall be the responsibility of the
      Client and shall be accomplished at the Client's expense. If the receipt
      of input data from the Client by FCB is delayed, FCB will use its best
      efforts to reschedule and process the work and perform its services as
      promptly as it reasonably can, but both parties understand and acknowledge
      that completion time may be delayed. If the Client's input data is not
      received in a timely manner or in a form reasonably acceptable to FCB,
      additional costs may be incurred by FCB to provide the services
      contemplated by this Agreement within commercially acceptable time limits.
      The Client will be responsible for the payment of any such additional
      costs. All deliveries to FCB will be made at the time, place, and in the
      form prescribed by FCB.

                                      2








6.    FCB may impose additional charges for any changes in the input data,
      output data or any computational procedures which may be requested by the
      Client after FCB has begun performing the services contemplated by this
      Agreement. Such charges shall be based on FCB's then prevailing standard
      rates for personnel and/or machine time occasioned by such changes. If
      additional personnel or machine time is required as a result of these
      changes, FCB reserves the right to extend delivery dates. FCB will use its
      best efforts to reschedule and process the work and perform its services
      as promptly as it reasonably can.

7.    FCB is authorized to make minor corrections or minor adjustments to input
      data when an original source document may be in error or incomplete.
      Unless in the judgment of FCB the volume of minor corrections and
      adjustments becomes burdensome, FCB will make no charge for minor
      corrections or adjustments. If the volume becomes burdensome, FCB may
      notify the Client of its intention to impose charges for such additional
      work at the then prevailing standard rate charged by FCB for personnel
      and/or machine time.

8.    In the delivery of the services contemplated by this Agreement, FCB will
      use the personnel, facilities, equipment and machines selected by it. FCB
      will make reasonable efforts to deliver the services with the same care
      and in substantially the same manner as used by it in connection with the
      delivery of its own banking services. FCB assumes no liability or
      responsibility for any errors or omissions in the delivery of the services
      contemplated by this Agreement except those which may arise out of FCB's
      gross negligence or bad faith. FCB's liability to the Client arising out
      of this Agreement shall not exceed the damages or losses directly
      sustained by the Client as a consequence of FCB's gross negligence or bad
      faith. FCB shall not be liable for indirect, punitive, special or
      consequential damages, nor shall FCB be liable to the Client or any other
      person because of failure to perform or delay in performance of the
      services provided by FCB pursuant to this Agreement when such failure or
      delay is caused by: (a) an event or circumstance within the control of the
      Client, or (b) an event or circumstance beyond the control of FCB,
      including, but not limited to, any of the following events: fire; flood;
      explosion; other catastrophe; legal acts of public authorities; strikes;
      riots; war; civil insurrection; acts of terrorism; or the failure of
      communications, power supply, or mechanical difficulties with any
      equipment which could not be reasonably anticipated and prevented. In the
      event of any emergency, the internal operational needs of FCB will take
      priority over the Client's needs. FCB agrees to maintain adequate backup
      procedures in the event of a computer system failure.

9.    Significant delays beyond the control of either party may occur in the
      delivery of the services contemplated by this agreement. When delays
      occur, it may be necessary to prioritize the Client's work based upon the
      Client's needs. When possible, FCB will consult with the Client to
      prioritize the delivery of the services. If the parties cannot consult
      regarding the prioritization of the Client's needs, FCB may rely upon any
      written

                                      3





      prioritization supplied to FCB by the Client or, in the absence of a
      written prioritization, its own best judgment.

10.   The parties anticipate that the services which will be provided to the
      Client by FCB will include a variety of data processing services. The
      nature and extent of those services will be as set forth in the Specific
      Services Schedules approved by the parties. The purpose of this Section 10
      is to address a variety of general issues relating specifically to data
      processing services. All data processing services provided by FCB shall be
      subject to the terms and provisions of this Section 10 in addition to the
      other sections of this Agreement and to the Specific Services Schedules
      executed by the parties. If a conflict arises between the terms of this
      Agreement and the language of a Specific Services Schedule, the terms and
      provisions of the Specific Services Schedule shall control.

      A.    Applications to be processed will be as set forth in the Specific
            Services Schedules. In providing data processing services, FCB will
            apply daily accrual calculations. Data will be processed and reports
            generated on a daily basis, excluding weekends and holidays. The
            Client will provide FCB with a list of its banking holidays. FCB
            will generate for the Client the same types of reports that FCB
            generates for its own use when it processes its own data. FCB will
            provide to the Client any special forms which FCB may require from
            time to time in connection with data processing services. FCB may
            charge Client for any forms supplied to Client in bulk at the then
            prevailing standard rate charged by FCB.

      B.    Other provisions of this Agreement and the Specific Services
            Schedules address the payment of fees, rates and charges for
            services to be provided by FCB. In addition to the fees charged by
            FCB, FCB shall be entitled to recover its reasonable out-of- pocket
            expenses. Any costs of conversion and the time frame for conversion
            shall be as specified in the Specific Services Schedule or as
            otherwise may be agreed between the parties. Costs for satisfying
            special management requests, audit needs, regulatory requirements
            and mergers and acquisitions shall be negotiated on a case by case
            basis and shall be billed at the then prevailing standard rate
            changed by FCB. FCB shall own any special software developed for
            Client to process its applications, and FCB may use such special
            software for the benefit of its other clients, and may license
            and/or sell such software as it deems appropriate.

      C.    Unless otherwise provided in the Specific Services Schedule, the
            operating hours for online communications networks to Client's
            branches shall be from 8:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m. on a daily basis,
            weekends and holidays excluded. The operating hours for online
            communication networks for the ATM system, however, shall be 7 days
            per week, 24 hours per day. While the ATM system is encrypted, other
            communications networks are not presently encrypted. In order to
            provide security to the system, FCB utilizes "RACF" user sign-on,
            with various password levels authorized to individual users. This
            method assures that an individual cannot obtain access to certain
            information within the data processing system without

                                      4





            having been properly authorized and without utilizing his or her
            unique password to access the information.

      D.    FCB shall, at all times during the term of this Agreement, make
            available to the Client data processing emergency kits as well as
            FCB's backup data processing site in Raleigh, North Carolina.

      E.    If so designated in a Specific Services Schedule, FCB will be
            responsible for capturing and processing Client's FED (or "cash")
            letter.

      F.    The Internal Audit Department of FCB will not be responsible for
            conducting servicer audits with FCB staff. FCB will, however,
            annually contract for and provide copies to the Client of a third
            party CPA review of the data processing services provided. The cost
            of this review shall be passed on to the data processing clients of
            FCB on a pro-rata basis based upon asset size. FCB shall use its
            best efforts in good faith to minimize the cost of this review.

      G.    FCB maintains an effective disaster recovery/contingency plan, a
            copy of which shall be delivered to Client upon Client's request. In
            connection with its disaster recovery/contingency plan, FCB has
            established and shall maintain adequate backup arrangements for all
            data processing functions to which the Client subscribes. The
            details of all backup arrangements shall be made available to Client
            upon Client's request.

      H.    FCB shall not be responsible for, nor liable for, any source
            documents while in transit to or from FCB's service center. FCB
            maintains and shall continue to maintain reasonable and adequate
            insurance for fidelity, fire, liability and data losses from error
            and omissions. Details of FCB's insurance protection shall be
            provided to Client at Client's request.

      I.    Upon termination of any data processing services, computer programs
            and related documentation shall remain the property of FCB. FCB
            shall provide to the Client, however, at the Client's expense the
            Client's master and transaction data files in machine-readable
            format within adequate time to convert in an orderly and timely
            manner. The fees for providing the master and transaction data files
            in machine- readable format shall be in accordance with FCB's then
            prevailing standard rates, plus out-of-pocket expenses. In the event
            of the termination of any specific data processing services, the
            parties agree to provide for the orderly and timely conversion from
            FCB to the Client or another servicer selected by the Client.

      J.    FCB will provide notification to Client of all systems changes that
            may affect Client's procedures, reports, and operations. Whenever
            possible, this notification shall be given at least 45 days prior to
            the time the change will become effective.


                                      5





      K.    Customer will give FCB prompt notice of any program changes required
            by federal or state regulations or required to consummate planned
            mergers and acquisitions. FCB will make every reasonable effort to
            effect program changes in a timely manner to insure regulatory
            compliance and to accommodate Client's anticipated acquisitions and
            mergers.

      L.    Unless a Specific Services Schedule provides to the contrary, FCB
            will provide any training and documentation required by Client's
            personnel prior to the time of data services conversion without
            additional charge (other than out-of-pocket expenses). After
            conversion, subsequent training shall be performed at Client's
            request at the then prevailing standard rates charged by FCB for
            such training, plus out-of-pocket expenses. Training may be
            addressed in a specific services schedule.

      M.    FCB shall establish a "user's group." If Client subscribes to data
            processing services with FCB, Client will be invited to participate,
            at its expense, in the user's group.

      N.    Nothing in this Agreement limits the ability of any regulator to
            arrange for an orderly and reasonable conversion of data to another
            vendor, or to a receiver in the event of a receivership. FCB shall
            be entitled, however, to compensation for the conversion work
            performed at its then prevailing standard rate, plus out-of-pocket
            expenses.

11.   In the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, FCB will hold
      in strict confidence all information to which it may become privy
      regarding the accounts and affairs of the Client and its customers, except
      to the extent disclosure to federal or state regulatory agencies is
      permitted or required by applicable law or regulation, and except as
      otherwise required by applicable law or regulation. Similarly, in the
      receipt of services and the performance of its obligations under this
      Agreement, the Client will hold in strict confidence all information to
      which it may become privy regarding the accounts, systems, technology,
      services, processes, products and affairs of FCB and its customers, except
      to the extent disclosure to federal or state regulatory agencies is
      permitted or required by applicable law or regulation, and except as
      otherwise required by applicable law or regulation.

12.   The parties recognize that the performance of the services contemplated by
      this Agreement may be subject to regulation, audit, and examination by
      various regulatory authorities to the same extent as if the services were
      being performed by the Client itself on its own premises. The Client
      authorizes FCB to furnish, when requested, any information requested by
      the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other regulatory
      authority, agency, or commission having jurisdiction over the FCB or the
      Client (including the state Banking Commission). Any additional work
      performed by FCB or information provided by FCB shall be paid for by the
      Client at FCB's then prevailing standard rates.


                                      6





13.   Services provided under this Agreement may be audited by the internal
      audit staff of FCB and by the certified public accounting firm regularly
      employed by FCB to perform its annual audits. The Client may annually
      audit FCB with respect to the services provided under this Agreement.

14.   FCB will provide the Client with FCB's annual financial statement and such
      other financial information as may be required by any regulatory agency
      having jurisdiction over the Client or FCB.

15.   In the delivery of the services contemplated by this Agreement, FCB is an
      independent contractor and not the agent of the Client. The Client agrees
      to indemnify FCB and hold it harmless from any loss, cost or damage
      (including attorneys fees and court costs, if any) which FCB may suffer or
      be liable for by virtue of this Agreement unless the loss, cost or damage
      arises from FCB's bad faith or gross negligence without contributory
      negligence on the part of the Client or any other person, firm, or
      corporation, whether or not acting as an agent or employee of the Client.
      This Agreement to indemnify and hold FCB harmless shall include, but not
      be limited to, all risk of loss of any information or documents during
      transit between the Client and FCB. This indemnity provision shall survive
      the termination of this Agreement.

16.   FCB owns extensive computer hardware and uses a broad array of computer
      software which may be used in the delivery of the various services
      contemplated by this Agreement. From time to time FCB may significantly
      change its hardware configuration, the software used in the delivery of
      services, and the procedures and documentation which may be required for
      the delivery of the services. FCB will use diligence in promptly notifying
      the Client of any prospective system changes so the Client will have an
      opportunity to analyze and approve any applicable test results. Whenever
      possible, the Client will be notified at least 45 days prior to the
      effective date of any change. All computer hardware, software, programs,
      written procedures, and similar items, including master and transaction
      data files, shall be and remain the property of FCB unless otherwise
      specified in writing by FCB.

17.   The Client will pay any taxes or governmental assessments arising out of
      this Agreement or any of the services rendered according to this
      Agreement, other than FCB's income taxes.

18.   The Client and FCB recognize that the cost of the delivery of services to
      the Client and the fees paid by the Client may be reduced to the extent
      FCB can avoid "customizing" the services to the peculiar or unique needs
      of the Client. To this extent, the parties acknowledge that it may be to
      the mutual benefit of both parties for the Client to adapt aspects of its
      internal operations, policies and procedures to match those of FCB. For
      that purpose, employees of the Client may be asked to participate in
      workshops, study sessions, user groups, and other similar activities
      conducted by FCB for the benefit of its own operations.

                                      7





19.   The parties acknowledge that they are competing financial institutions and
      that they are subject to various laws and regulations relating to
      anti-trust and unfair competition. It is the intent of FCB and the Client
      to adhere strictly to such applicable laws and regulations, and the
      parties agree that they will each make every effort to insure there is no
      violation of any such law or regulation. The parties further acknowledge
      that discussions about or the exchange of information concerning the
      retail pricing of products and services may be unlawful, and the parties
      agree that each shall be excluded during any discussion or determination
      of the other's retail pricing. Each party shall determine its own retail
      pricing structure independently of the other, totally without collusion.

20.   This Agreement contemplates that the parties may jointly undertake the
      research, development, testing and delivery of various services which may
      thereafter be offered by FCB and the Client to their respective customers,
      but serviced operationally by FCB. The Client agrees, at its own expense,
      that it will cooperate and participate fully in the research, development,
      testing, evaluation, implementation and delivery of such services as may
      be reasonably requested by FCB. Any such service shall be and remain the
      property of FCB. Neither this Agreement nor the Client's participation in
      the research, development, testing, evaluation, implementation or delivery
      of a service shall vest any ownership interest therein in the Client.
      Except for the fees agreed upon between the parties, each party shall bear
      its own costs and expenses in the research, development, testing,
      evaluation, implementation and delivery of a service undertaken pursuant
      to this Agreement, and, except as to the fees agreed upon, neither party
      shall be entitled to any reimbursement or refund from the other, even if,
      for any reason, a service is rejected or abandoned.

21.   Unless otherwise agreed in writing with respect to a particular service,
      either party may terminate this Agreement (either in full or as to one or
      more services) by giving at least 60 days prior written notice to the
      other. Any pending increases in the fees shall not become effective prior
      to the stated termination date. Notwithstanding this time limitation, upon
      default in the performance in any of the obligations by one party to this
      Agreement, the non-defaulting party may terminate this Agreement upon 30
      days prior written notice to the party in default. Neither the Client nor
      FCB shall be construed to be in default permitting termination of this
      Agreement if either is unable to comply with the provisions of this
      Agreement due to causes beyond its control, including, but not limited to,
      those events and circumstances enumerated in paragraph 8 of this
      Agreement. Provided the Client is not in default under the terms of this
      Agreement, the Client may postpone the stated termination date of any data
      processing services for a period of up to 360 days, and any other services
      for a period of up to 180 days, in order to permit the Client adequate
      time to effect a smooth transition and conversion from FCB to another
      service provider (including the Client, if the services will thereafter be
