ORDER OF PROHIBITION FROM FURTHER PARTICIPATION

   M. Robert Hecht ("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") detailing the violations of law, rule, or regulation, unsafe or unsound banking practices, and/or breaches of fiduciary duty by reason of which Citizens Bank, Houston, Texas ("Bank") has suffered substantial financial loss or other damage, and/ or that the interests of depositors have been seriously prejudiced and/or that Respondent has received financial gain; 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 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 November 29, 1990, whereby solely for the purpose of this proceeding and without admitting or denying any violations, 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.
   The FDIC considered the matter and determined it had reason to believe that:

   (i) Respondent has engaged or participated in violations of law, rule or regulation, or order, unsafe or unsound banking practices, and/or breaches of his fiduciary duty as an officer, director, and/or person participating in the conduct of the affairs of the Bank.
   (ii) By reason of such violations, practices and/or breaches of fiduciary duty, the Bank has suffered substantial financial loss or other damage, the interests of the Bank's depositors have been seriously prejudiced and/or Respondent received financial gain; and
   (iii) Such violations, practices and/or breaches of fiduciary duty involve personal dishonesty on the part of Respondent and/or demonstrate Respondent's willful and/or continuing disregard for the safety or soundness of the Bank.
