TEMPORARY ORDER TO
CEASE AND DESIST
FDIC-99-145c&b
   The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") has determined that the unsafe or unsound banking practices which Hartford Carlisle Savings Bank, Carlisle, Iowa ("Bank"), is alleged to have engaged in, as specified in the NOTICE OF CHARGES AND OF HEARING ("NOTICE") attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, and/or the continuation thereof by the Bank, are likely to cause insolvency or significant dissipation of the assets or earnings of the Bank, or are likely to weaken the condition of the Bank or otherwise prejudice the interests of the depositors of the Bank prior to the completion of the proceedings against the Bank conducted pursuant to section 8(b) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act ("Act"), 12 U.S.C. § 1818(b).
   Therefore, the FDIC hereby issues this TEMPORARY ORDER TO CEASE AND DESIST ("TEMPORARY ORDER") and hereby gives notice pursuant to section 8(c)(1) of the Act, 12 U.S.C. § 1818(c)(1), that the Bank and its institution-affiliated parties, successors and assigns, be and hereby are ORDERED as follows:

   (b) Without the prior written consent of the Regional Director and the Superintendent, the Bank shall not, directly or indirectly, make, extend or renew any extensions of credit to an established borrower of the Bank or his or her related interest(s) in an amount that, when added to any other extensions of credit to the borrower and his or her related interest(s) made since the effective date of this TEMPORARY ORDER, would exceed $50,000;
   (c) The Bank shall not extend, direct or indirectly, credit to, or for the benefit of, any borrower who has a loan or other extension of credit with the Bank that has been charged off or classified, in whole or in part, "Loss," "Doubtful," or "Substandard," and is uncollected, without the prior written consent of the Regional Director and the Superintendent; and
   (d) As used in this TEMPORARY ORDER, the terms:

   (i) "extension of credit" shall be defined as provided in section 215.3 of Regulation O of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, 12 C.F.R. § 215.3, ("Regulation O");
