   WHEREAS, the Acquiring Party is also desirous for an exemption from liability as to the FBG Banks for any losses the FDIC may suffer or reasonably anticipates to suffer from the possible default and/or possible assistance to MBank Waco, filed pursuant to the provisions of section 5(e)(5)(A) of the Act, 12 U.S.C. §1815(e)(5)(A); and

   WHEREAS, the Board of Directors ("Board") of the FDIC, having fully considered the facts and information relating to the foregoing requests for exemption from losses, has concluded that an exemption is in the best interest of the Bank Insurance Fund and that approval of the application for exemption should be granted.

   WHEREFORE, for the foregoing reasons, the Co-Applicants' request for exemption from losses is herewith conditionally granted by this ORDER CONDITIONALLY GRANTING APPROVAL FOR WAIVER OF CROSS-GUARANTY ("ORDER"), subject to the conditions and restrictions set forth below:

   [.1]1. This ORDER is conditioned upon the acquisition of control of MBank Waco by the Acquiring Party. Should anyone other than the Acquiring Party acquire control of MBank Waco, or should MCorp Financial, Inc. ever reacquire control of MBank Waco, this ORDER shall be null and void.

   [.2]2. Immediately upon the sale of MBank Waco to the Acquiring Party and certain local investors, the Acquiring Party will ensure that MBank Waco have a minimum of 7.5 million dollars ($7,500,000) in equity capital. The Co-Applicants will have six months from the date of issuance of this ORDER to complete all transactions necessary to accomplish the sale of MBank Waco to the Acquiring Party, et al. Also within six months from the date of issuance of this ORDER, the Acquiring Party will ensure that MBank Waco have a minimum of fifteen million dollars ($15,000,000) in equity capital. At no time during the six months from the date of issuance of this ORDER shall MBank Waco's equity capital be less than 2 percent (2%) of the bank's total assets. Failure to conclude all necessary actions, and to attain and maintain said capital levels provided herein, within the time frames established herein, and obtain all appropriate federal regulatory approval thereto, will render this ORDER null and void.

   [.3]3. Immediately upon receipt of this ORDER, MBank Waco shall dismiss its claims against the Receivership of MBank Fort Worth, National Association, Forth Worth, Texas, filed approximately June, 1989, in the amount of $13,595.05; the Receivership of MBank Austin, National Association, Austin, Texas, filed approximately June, 1989, in the amount of $15,130.90; and the Receivership of MBank Dallas, National Association, Dallas, Texas, filed approximately June, 1989, in the amount of $322,207.84.

   [.4]4. This ORDER shall expire five years from the date of issuance contained herein. Further, should any of the FBG Banks fail or require assistance from the FDIC, or should any other insured depository institution controlled by the Acquiring Party fail or require assistance from the FDIC, the liability for resulting loss as provided in section 5(e) of the Act, 12 U.S.C. §1815(e), would remain with the remaining FBG Banks and/or any other insured depository institution controlled by the Acquiring Party.

   [.5]5. Should the FDIC determine that either Co-Applicant has failed to comply fully with the aforesaid conditions, the FDIC shall have the right to revoke this exemption after giving the Co-Applicants written notice of said revocation and a reasonable opportunity to be heard on the matter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, should the condition contained in paragraph 1 above be violated or the conditions in paragraph 2 above fail to be met in the time frame specified therein, this ORDER shall be immediately null and void, without further hearing on the matter.

   Dated at Washington, D.C., this 28th day of May, 1991.

   By order of the Board of Directors.
