ORDER OF PROHIBITION FROM
FURTHER PARTICIPATION

   Benedict R. Moser ("Respondent"), having been advised of his right to a NOTICE OF INTENTION TO PROHIBIT FROM FURTHER PARTICIPATION ("NOTICE") issued by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") under section 8(e)(4) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act ("Act"), 12 U.S.C. § 1818(e)(4)(1989), detailing the violations of law and/or regulation, the unsafe or unsound banking practices, and/or the breaches of fiduciary duty by reason of which New England Bank and trust, Windsor, Connecticut ("Bank"), has suffered or will probably suffer substantial financial loss or other damage, and/or that the interests of depositors have been or could be seriously prejudiced and/or that Respondent has received financial gain or other benefit; and which demonstrate that such violations, practices, or breaches evidence Respondent's personal dishonesty and/or willful and/or continuing disregard for the safety and soundness of the Bank. Having been further advised of his right to a hearing on the alleged charges under section 8(e) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act ("Act"), 12 U.S.C. § 1818(e), and Part 308 of the {{6-30-91 p.C-982}}FDIC's Rules of Practice and Procedures, 12 C.F.R. Part 308, and having waived those rights, Respondent entered into a STIPULATION AND CONSENT TO THE ISSUANCE OF AN ORDER OF PROHIBITION FROM FURTHER PARTICIPATION ("CONSENT AGREEMENT") with a representative of the Legal Division of the FDIC, dated February 18, 1991, whereby solely for the purpose of this proceeding and without admitting any violations of law and/ or regulation, any acts of personal dishonesty, any unsafe or unsound banking practices, or any breaches of fiduciary duty, Respondent consented to the issuance of an ORDER OF PROHIBITION FROM FURTHER PARTICIPATION ("ORDER") by the FDIC.

   (iii) Such violations, practices and/or breaches of fiduciary duty involved personal dishonesty on the part of Respondent or demonstrate Respondent's willful and/or continuing disregard for the safety or soundness of the Bank, and further evidenced Respondent's unfitness to serve as an institution-affiliated party or person participating in the conduct of the affairs of the Bank or any other insured depository institution, or agency or organization enumerated in section 8(e)(7) of the Act, 12 U.S.C. § 1818(e)(7)(1989).
