In the Matter of

RIVER BANK AMERICA
NEW ROCHELLE, NEW YORK
(Insured State Nonmember Bank)
ORDER TO CEASE AND DESIST

   River Bank America, New Rochelle, New York ("Bank"), having been advised of its right to a Notice of Charges and of Hearing detailing the unsafe or unsound banking practices and violations of law and regulations alleged to have been committed by the Bank and of its right to a hearing on such alleged charges under section 8(b) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act ("Act"), 12 U.S.C. § 1818(b), and having waived those rights, entered into a STIPULATION AND CONSENT TO THE ISSUANCE OF AN ORDER TO CEASE AND DESIST ("CONSENT AGREEMENT") with counsel for the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"), dated December 5, 1991, whereby, solely for the purpose of this proceeding and without admitting or denying the alleged charges of unsafe or unsound banking practices and violations of law and regulations, the Bank consented to the issuance of an ORDER TO CEASE AND DESIST ("ORDER") by the FDIC.
   The FDIC considered the matter and determined that it had reason to believe that the Bank had engaged in unsafe or unsound banking practices and violations of law and regulations. The FDIC, therefore, accepted the CONSENT AGREEMENT and issued the following:

   IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, that River Bank America, New Rochelle, New York, its successors, assigns, directors, officers, employees, agents, and other "institution-affiliated parties", as defined in section 3(u) of the Act, 12 U.S.C. 1813(u), CEASE AND DESIST from the following unsafe or unsound banking practices and violations of law and regulations:

   (a) Operating the Bank with management policies and practices which are detrimental to the Bank and jeopardize the safety of its deposits;
   (b) Operating the Bank with a level of Tier 1 capital which is inadequate in relation to the kind and quality of its assets;
   (c) Failing to establish and follow adequate lending, investment, and funds management policies;
   (d) Operating the Bank with an excessive level of adversely classified assets;
   (e) Engaging in hazardous lending and lax collection practices;
   (f) Extending credit which is inadequately secured and without adequate and appropriate supporting documentation;
   (g) Operating the Bank with excessive concentrations of credit;
   (h) Failing to provide an adequate reserve for loan and lease losses;
   (i) Operating the Bank without adequate liquidity and proper regard for funds management;
   (j) Operating the Bank in such a manner as to produce unsatisfactory earnings;
{{2-29-92 p.C-1727}}(k) Operating the Bank with an excessive reliance upon brokered deposits and volatile funding;
   (l) Engaging in violations of applicable laws and regulations as more fully set forth on pages 6-a through 6-a-2 of the Report of Examination of the Bank by the FDIC as of February 11, 1991, and on page 10 of the Report of Examination of the Bank by the New York State Department of Banking as of December 31, 1990; and
   (m) Operating the Bank without establishing and following acceptable internal routine and controls.

   [.1] 1. Within 90 days from the effective date of this ORDER, the Bank shall submit a capital plan to the Regional Director of the New York Regional Office of the FDIC ("Regional Director") and the Superintendent of Banks of the New York State Banking Department ("Superintendent"), which provides for:

   (a) Recapitalizing the Bank so as to increase the ratio of its Tier 1 capital to its total assets ("Tier 1 capital ratio") to not less than 6.0 percent by September 30, 1992, and thereafter maintain that ratio. For the purposes of this ORDER, the terms "Tier 1 capital" and "total assets" shall have the meanings ascribed to them in Part 325 of the FDIC's Rules and Regulations, respectively, in subsections 325.2(m) and (n), 56 Fed. Reg. 10,154, 10,161 (1991) (to be codified at 12 C.F.R. §§ 325.2(m) and (n)). The 6.0 percent Tier 1 capital ratio required by this paragraph 1(a) is dependent upon the Bank achieving compliance with the ratio requirements of paragraph 6(a) of this ORDER. Therefore, if the Bank is not in compliance with the requirements of paragraph 6(a) of this ORDER as of September 30, 1992 and/or June 30, 1993, the Bank shall forthwith be required to achieve a greater Tier 1 capital ratio. Such additional capital requirements shall be determined by the FDIC, giving consideration to the asset quality and condition of the Bank, each time that the Bank is not in compliance with the requirements of paragraph 6(a) of this ORDER.
   (b) Exploring all methods and opportunities for achieving the Tier 1 capital ratio levels set forth and provided for in paragraph 1(a), including, but not limited to: conversion of the Bank's outstanding preferred stock and/or subordinated notes to securities which constitute Tier 1 capital; asset sales; downsizing of the Bank; the sale of subsidiaries; income retention; the sale of portions of the Bank's deposits; the direct contribution of cash by the directors; the sale of common stock or non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock without regard to any diminution in the value of stock presently held by any stockholder; merger or consolidation; private investor acquisition or investment; or any combination of the above or alternative means acceptable to the FDIC and the Superintendent. Upon receipt of a written approval or statement of nonobjection from the Regional Director and the Superintendent, the revised capital plan shall forthwith be adopted and implemented.
   2. (a) If all or part of the increase in Tier 1 capital required by paragraph 1(a) of this ORDER is accomplished by the sale of new securities, the board of directors of the Bank shall forthwith adopt and implement a plan for the sale of such additional securities, including voting any shares owned or proxies controlled by them in favor of the plan. Should the implementation of the plan involve a public distribution of Bank securities (including a distribution limited only to the Bank's existing shareholders), the Bank shall prepare offering materials fully describing the securities being offered, including an accurate description of the financial condition of the Bank and the circumstances giving rise to the offering, and any other material disclosures necessary to comply with State and Federal securities laws. Prior to the implementation of the plan, and in any event not less than 20 days prior to the dissemination of such materials, the plan and any materials used in the sale of the securities shall be submitted to the FDIC, Registration and Disclosure Section, Washington, D.C., 20429, and to the New York State Banking Department ("NYSBD") for review. Any changes requested to be made in the of- {{2-29-92 p.C-1728}}fering plan or materials by the FDIC or the NYSBD shall be made prior to their dissemination. If any part of the increase in Tier 1 capital is provided by the sale of or conversion to noncumulative perpetual preferred stock, then all terms and conditions of the issue, including but not limited to those terms and conditions relative to interest rate and any convertibility factor, shall be presented to the Regional Director and the NYSBD for prior approval.
   (b) In complying with the provisions of paragraph 2(a) of this ORDER, written notice shall be provided by the Bank to any subscriber and/or purchaser of Bank securities detailing any planned or existing development or other change which is materially different from the information reflected in any offering material used in connection with the sale of Bank securities. The written notice required by this paragraph shall be furnished within 10 calendar days from the date such material development or change was planned or occurred, whichever is earlier, and shall be furnished to every purchaser and/or subscriber of Bank securities who received or was tendered the information contained in the Bank's original offering materials.

   [.2] 4. While this ORDER is in effect, the Bank shall not declare or pay either directly or indirectly any dividends, whether in cash, stock, or otherwise, on its common stock, without the prior written consent of the Regional Director and the Superintendent.

   [.3] 5. (a) Within 10 days from the effective date of this ORDER, the Bank shall eliminate from its books, by collection, charge-off, or other proper entry, all assets or portions of assets classified "Loss" and 50 percent of all assets or portions of assets classified "Doubtful" by the FDIC or the NYSBD as a result of their examinations of the Bank as of February 11, 1991 and December 31, 1990, respectively, which have not been previously charged off or collected. In addition, and so long as this ORDER remains in effect, the Bank shall, within 30 days of the receipt of any subsequent Report of Examination of the Bank from the FDIC or the NYSBD, eliminate from its books, by collection, charge-off, or other proper entry, all assets or portions of assets classified "Loss" and 50 percent of all assets or portions of assets classified "Doubtful" in said Report of Examination. Elimination of these assets through the use of proceeds of loans or other extensions of credit made by the Bank does not constitute collection for the purposes of this paragraph 5(a).
   (b) Within 60 days from the effective date of this ORDER, the Bank's board of directors shall adopt a method of computing the balance of the Bank's reserve for loan and lease losses that gives consideration to the volume and composition of the loan portfolio not subject to criticism, as well as to the volume and composition of assets which are subject to criticism, whether by any bank regulatory agency or by the Bank as a result of its internal reviews of assets. Thereafter, the Bank's board of directors shall, during the first month of each quarter, reevaluate the reserve for loan and lease losses and make such additional provisions for loan and lease losses that are, in the judgement of the board, necessary to maintain the reserve at an adequate level relative to the volume of risk of the Bank's loan portfolio. All such additional provisions for loan and lease losses shall be made in the first month of the calendar quarter in which the deficiency in the reserve is identified, but as of the end of the preceding calendar quarter, and shall be reflected in the Report of Condition and the Report of Income filed in the calendar quarter in which the deficiency in the reserve is identified. The minutes of the board of directors of the bank shall reflect that such reevaluation has been performed, and documentary proof of the method employed in determining the level of the reserve shall be maintained for future regulatory review.
   (c) All increases in the reserve for loan and lease losses, with the exception of
{{2-29-92 p.C-1729}}recoveries credited directly to the reserve, shall be accomplished by charges to operating earnings through the provision for loan and lease losses.
   6. (a) By September 30, 1992, the Bank shall reduce the remaining total of all assets classified "Doubtful" and "Substandard" by the FDIC and the NYSBD as a result of their examinations of the Bank as of February 11, 1991 and December 31, 1990, respectively, to not more than 150 percent of total equity capital and reserves and, subsequently, the Bank shall reduce the total of such assets to not more than 100 percent of total equity capital and reserves by June 30, 1993.
   (b) The requirements of this paragraph 6 shall not be construed as a standard for future operations of the Bank. In addition to accomplishing the foregoing schedule of reductions, the Bank shall eventually reduce all adversely classified assets of the Bank.
   (c) As used in paragraphs 6(a) and 6(b) of this ORDER, the word "reduce" means (1) to collect, (2) to charge-off or eliminate by other proper entry, or (3) to improve the quality of adversely classified assets sufficiently to warrant removing any adverse classification, as determined by the FDIC and the NYSBD. Reduction of these assets through the use of the proceeds of loans or other extensions of credit made by the Bank does not constitute collection for the purposes of paragraph 6(a) and 6(b) of this ORDER.

   [.4] 7. (a) Immediately upon the effective date of this ORDER, and notwithstanding any other provision of this ORDER, the Bank shall not extend, either directly or indirectly, any new or additional credit (which, for the purposes of this ORDER, shall include the granting of renewals or extensions, or the capitalizing of accrued interest) to, or for the benefit of, any borrower who is obligated in any manner to the Bank on any extension of credit, or portion thereof, which has been charged off the books of the Bank in whole or in part, or to any affiliate or related interest of any such borrower, so long as any portion of such extension of credit, whether or not that portion was charged off, remains uncollected. The provisions of this paragraph 7(a) shall not apply to the advance of funds by the Bank for the sole purpose of maintaining or protecting the Bank's real estate collateral for any extension of credit, if:

   (i) the Bank's failure to advance such funds would be substantially detrimental to the best interests of the Bank;
   (ii) a comparison with the written program adopted pursuant to paragraph 8 of this ORDER shows that the Bank's formal program to eliminate the basis of criticism of said criticized asset is not compromised; and
   (iii) prior to advancing any funds, a majority of the Bank's full board of directors approves the extension of credit and certifies, in writing, the specific reasons why failure to so act would be substantially detrimental to the best interests of the Bank. A copy of the board of director's certification shall be maintained in the credit file of the classified borrower, and shall also be submitted promptly to the Regional Director and the Superintendent.

   (i) the Bank's failure to extend further credit to a classified borrower would
{{2-29-92 p.C-1730}}be substantially detrimental to the best interests of the Bank;
   (ii) a comparison with the written program adopted pursuant to paragraph 8 of this ORDER shows that the Bank's formal program to eliminate the basis of criticism of said criticized asset is not compromised; and,
   (iii) prior to extending any credit, a majority of the Bank's full board of directors approves the extension of credit and certifies, in writing, the specific reasons why failure to so act would be substantially detrimental to the best interests of the Bank. A copy of the board of director's certification shall be maintained in the credit file of the classified borrower, and shall also be submitted promptly to the Regional Director and the Superintendent.

   (a) Has been adversely classified or listed for "Special Mention" by the FDIC or the NYSBD as a result of their examinations of the Bank as of February 11, 1991 and December 31, 1990, respectively, or is adversely classified or listed for "Special Mention" by either the FDIC or the NYSBD as a result of any subsequent examination of the Bank; or
   (b) Has been accorded a sub-investment quality rating and/or has been designated a work-out or watch list asset, or some equivalent designation, as the result of an internal asset review and rating procedure performed by the Bank or by another party on behalf of the Bank; or
   (c) Is past due in excess of 120 days and/or has been placed in either a nonaccrual or nonearning status by the Bank; or
   (d) Has been partially charged off.

   [.6] 9. (a) The Bank's board of directors shall conduct a review of each program adopted pursuant to paragraph 8 of this ORDER at least once in each month, to determine:

   (i) the status of each problem asset;
   (ii) management's adherence to each written program;
   (iii) the status and effectiveness of each written program; and
   (iv) the need to revise each written program and/or take other actions.

   [.7] 10. Within 60 days from the effective date of this ORDER, the Bank shall take all necessary steps to eliminate all deficiencies noted in all assets listed for "Special Mention" on pages 2-c through 2-c-2 of the Report of Examination of the Bank by the FDIC as of February 11, 1991 and on supplemental pages 3 of the Report of Examination of the Bank by the NYSBD as of December 31, 1990. Within 60 days after receipt of each subsequent Report of Examination from the FDIC or the NYSBD, the Bank shall take all necessary steps to eliminate all deficiencies noted in all assets scheduled as "Special Mention" in each such report.

   [.8] 11. (a) Within 90 days from the effective date of this ORDER, the Bank shall complete a review of its files for all loans and/or real estate development investments to the same or related, affiliated, or associated borrowers which total more than $5,000,000 as to any such borrower or related, affiliated, or associated borrow- {{2-29-92 p.C-1731}}ers, to determine whether the documentation and financial statements provided by guarantors and developers to the Bank and upon which the Bank is relying in support of such extensions of credit are comprehensive in all respects, including, to the extent possible, full balance sheets, income statements, cash flow statements, and contingencies, all prepared by a certified public accountant in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and which include all financial obligations and information about the borrower and/or guarantor and not just a compilation of selected information.
   (b) Immediately upon discovering that any of the foregoing required documentation or any other financial information which would support an extension of credit is missing, the Bank shall take such action as it reasonably necessary to ensure that such documentation and/or information is forthwith provided to the Bank.

   [.9] 12. (a) Within 75 days from the effective date of this ORDER, the board of directors of the Bank shall formulate its 1992 Strategic Plan, covering the three years ending December 31, 1994, to incorporate therein and take into account the findings of the FDIC and NYSBD examinations of the Bank as of February 11, 1991 and December 31, 1990, respectively. Immediately subsequent to the formulation thereof, the board shall submit to the Regional Director and the Superintendent a copy of the strategic plan ("Plan") for the Bank. At a minimum, the Plan shall establish objectives for the Bank's earnings performance, growth, balance sheet mix, liability structure, capital adequacy, and reduction in the volume of nonperforming and underperforming assets, together with strategies for achieving those objectives. The Plan shall also identify capital, funding, managerial, and other resources needed to accomplish its objectives. Such Plan shall also specifically provide for the following:

   (i) the Bank shall not engage in nor shall it permit any subsidiary to engage in any new construction lending other than (1) fulfilling legally binding commitments which are outstanding on the effective date of this ORDER and (2) constructing one-to-four family units which are already subject to a legally binding contract of sale on the date of the commitment;
   (ii) the Bank shall not engage in nor shall it permit any subsidiary to engage in any new commercial business lending which is related to real estate development activities, other than any such commercial business lending as to which the Bank is subject to a legally binding commitment which is outstanding on the effective date of this ORDER;

   (iv) the Bank shall not engage in nor shall it permit any subsidiary to engage in financing any new "highly leveraged transactions", as that term is defined in the appendix to the joint request for public comment on the Supervisory Definition of Highly Leveraged Transactions, 56 Fed. Reg. 31464, 31465 (July 10, 1991), other than any such highly leveraged transaction financing as to which the Bank is subject to a legally binding commitment which is outstanding on the effective date of this ORDER.
   (v) the limitations and prohibitions of paragraphs 12(a)(i) through 12(a)(iv) of this ORDER shall not prevent the Bank from being able to (1) make such advances of funds which are specifically permitted by paragraph 7 of this ORDER, and (2) make extensions of credit to facilitate the sale of real estate collateral held by the Bank as Other Real Estate ("ORE") to a third party which is not affiliated with or a related interest of any borrower whose real estate collateral has become the ORE which is being sold, provided that the Bank's board of directors first determines that the third party is creditworthy and fully capable of repaying any such extension of credit. Written evidence of the basis for such determination shall be maintained in the credit file of the third party.
   (b) The Bank shall submit, in conjunc- {{2-29-92 p.C-1732}}tion with the Plan submitted pursuant to paragraph 12(a) of this ORDER, financial projections for a period covering at least two years. Additionally, by the forty-fifth day of each subsequent calendar quarter, the Bank shall provide to the Regional Director and the Superintendent a detailed analysis of the extent to which the Bank has achieved the submitted projections and the reasons therefor, together with appropriate supporting documentation. By February 15 of each year, while this ORDER remains in effect, the Bank shall submit updated financial projections for the ensuing two year period.
   (c) Upon receipt of written approval or a statement of nonobjection from the Regional Director and the Superintendent, the Plan submitted pursuant to paragraph 12(a) of this ORDER shall be forthwith adopted and implemented by the Bank's board of directors.

{{2-29-92 p.C-1733}}by the board of the revised policies and procedures, a copy of each such policy and procedure shall be provided to the Regional Director and the Superintendent. At a minimum, these policies and procedures shall specifically address the deficiencies detailed on pages 6-b through 6-b-9 of the FDIC Report of Examination of the Bank as of February 11, 1991 and shall provide for:

   (a) Monthly management reporting to the board of directors;
   (b) Realistic, quantified, guidelines for liquidity and interest rate sensitivity positions; and

Such procedures shall include, but not be limited to, the designation of a qualified compliance officer, who shall be responsible for making the Bank aware, on a continuing basis, of all applicable laws and regulations, and for ensuring compliance therewith. A copy of these procedures shall be forwarded to the Regional Director and the Superintendent.
