   State Bank of Keyesport, Keyesport, Illinois ("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 or regulation alleged to have been committed by the Bank and of its right to a hearing on the charges under section 8(b) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act ("Act"), 12 U.S.C. § 1818(b), and having waived those rights, {{4-30-95 p.C-1792}}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 10, 1991, whereby, solely for the purpose of this proceeding and without admitting or denying the charges of unsafe or unsound banking practices and violations of law or regulation, 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 had violated laws or regulations. The FDIC, therefore, accepted the CONSENT AGREEMENT, and issued the following:

   IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, that the Bank, its institution-affiliated parties, as that term is defined in section 3(u) of the Act, 12 U.S.C. § 1813(u), and its successors and assigns, cease and desist from the following unsafe or unsound banking practices or violations of law or regulation:
   A. Engaging in hazardous lending and lax collection practices.
   B. Operating with an inadequate level of capital protection for the kind and quality of assets held.
   C. Operating with an inadequate allowance for loan and lease losses for the volume, kind, and quality of loans and leases held.
   D. Operating with inadequate liquidity in light of the Bank's assets and liabilities.
   E. Violating:

   1) Section 23A of the Federal Reserve Act ("section 23A"), 12 U.S.C. § 371c.
   2) The preferentiality, more than normal risk of repayment, and/or unfavorable features prohibitions of section 215.4(a)(2) of Regulation O of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("Regulation O"), 12 C.F.R. § 215.4(a)(2).

   [.1] 1. (a) Within 120 days from the effective date of this ORDER, the Bank shall retain a new chief executive officer. The new chief executive officer shall have an appropriate level of lending, collection, and loan supervision experience for the type and quality of the Bank's loan portfolio. Such person shall be provided the necessary written authority to implement the provisions of this ORDER.
   (b) The qualifications of the new chief executive officer shall be assessed on its ability to:

   (iv) adhere to safe and sound lending and collection practices;

If those capital ratios are less than 7.0 percent and 8.0 percent, respectively, the Bank shall, within 60 days from the date of that determination, increase those capital ratios to not less than 7.0 percent and 8.0 percent, respectively. For purposes of this ORDER, the terms "Tier 1 capital" and "total assets" utilized in computing the capital ratio shall be defined and calculated in accordance with Part 325 of FDIC Rules and Regulations, 12 C.F.R. Part 325; "Tier 2 capital" shall be defined and calculated in accordance with Appendix A of Part 325.

   (i) The sale of common stock and noncumulative preferred stock constituting Tier 1 capital under Part 325; or
   (ii) The elimination of all or part of the assets classified "Loss" as of May 31, 1991 without loss or liability to the Bank, provided any such collection on a partially charged-off asset shall first be applied to that portion of the asset which was not charged off pursuant to this ORDER; or
   (iii) The collection in cash of assets previously charged-off; or
   (iv) The direct contribution of cash by the directors and/or shareholders of the Bank or its holding company; or

A copy of the statement shall be placed in the appropriate loan file and shall be included in the minutes of the applicable board of directors' meeting.

   [.7] 7. As of the effective date of this ORDER, the Bank's board of directors shall designate a directors loan committee to include at least three directors who are not salaried officers of the Bank. At a minimum, the committee shall meet at least twice monthly and perform the following functions:
