ORDER TO CEASE AND DESIST
FDIC-95-53b

   DuPage Valley State Bank, Woodridge, 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, 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 May 12, 1995, 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 addition of any new Bank directors required by this paragraph may be accomplished, to the extent permissible by state statute or the Bank's bylaws, by means of appointment or by election at a regular or special meeting of the Bank's shareholders. For purposes of this paragraph, "affiliated organizations" shall have the meaning ascribed to "affiliate" pursuant to section 23A(b)(1) of the Federal Reserve Act, 12 U.S.C. § 371c(b)(1).

   [.3] 3. Within 30 days from the last day of each calendar quarter following the effective date of this ORDER, the Bank shall determine from its Report of Condition and Income its level of Tier 1 capital as a percentage of its total assets ("capital ratio") for the calendar quarter. If the capital ratio is less than 9 percent, the Bank shall, within 60 days of the date of the required determination, increase its capital ratio to not less than 9 percent calculated as the end of that preceding quarterly period. For purposes of this ORDER, Tier 1 capital and total assets shall be calculated in accordance with Part 325 of the FDIC Rules and Regulations ("Part 325"), 12 C.F.R. Part 325.

       (c) Any such increase in Tier 1 capital may be accomplished by the following:
         (i) The sale of common stock and noncumulative perpetual preferred stock constituting Tier 1 capital under Part 325; or
         (ii) The elimination of all or part of the assets classified "Loss" in the FDIC's Report of Examination as of September 26, 1994 ("FDIC's Report") or the Office of the Commissioner of Banks and Trust Companies for the State of Illinois' Report as of November 30, 1994 ("State's Report") 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;
         (iii) The collection in cash of assets previously charged off; or
         (iv) The direct contribution of cash by the directors and/or the shareholders of the Bank;
         (v) Any other means acceptable
{{7-31-95 p.C-4041}}
      to the Regional Director and Commissioner; or
         (vi) Any combination of the above means.
       (d) If all or part of the increase in capital required by this paragraph is to be accomplished by the sale of new securities, the board of directors of the Bank shall adopt and implement a plan for the sale of such additional securities, including the voting of any shares owned or proxies held by or controlled by them in favor of said plan. Should the implementation of the plan involve public distribution of the Bank securities, including a distribution limited only to the Bank's existing shareholders, the Bank shall prepare detailed 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 the 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 materials used in the sale of the securities shall be submitted to the FDIC at Washington, D.C., for its review. Any changes requested to be made in the materials by the FDIC shall be made prior to their dissemination.
       (e) In complying with the provisions of paragraph 3(d) of this ORDER, the Bank shall provide to any subscriber and/or purchaser of Bank securities written notice of any planned or existing development or other changes which are materially different from the information reflected in any offering materials used in connection with the sale of Bank securities. The written notice required by this paragraph shall be furnished within 10 calendar days of the date any material development or change was planned or occurred, whichever is earlier, and shall be furnished to every purchaser and/or subscriber of the Bank's original offering materials.
       (f) The capital ratio analysis required by this paragraph shall not negate the responsibility of the Bank and its board of directors for maintaining throughout the year an adequate level of capital protection for the kind, quality and degree of market depreciation of assets held by the Bank.

       [.4] 4. (a) Within 60 days from the effective date of this ORDER, the Bank shall adopt and implement a written plan to reduce the Bank's risk position in each asset in excess of $50,000 which is classified "Substandard" or "Doubtful" in the FDIC's Report or the State's Report.

       (c) As used in this paragraph, "reduce" means to (1) collect; (2) charge off; or (3) improve the quality of such assets so as to warrant removal of any adverse classification by the FDIC or the Commissioner.

       [.5] 5. (a) Within 90 days from the effective date of this ORDER, and annually thereafter, the board of directors of the Bank shall review the Bank's loan policy and procedures for adequacy and, based upon this review, shall make all appropriate revisions to the policy necessary to strengthen lending procedures and abate additional loan deterioration.

Within 30 days of receipt of all such comments from the Regional Director and Commissioner, and after consideration of all such comments, the board of directors shall approve the plan, which approval shall be recorded in the minutes of a board of directors' meeting.
