Order to Pay ("Consent Agreement") dated August 21, 2000, whereby

admitting or denying any violation of law, unsafe or unsound banking
practice or breach of fiduciary duty for which a civil money penalty
may be assessed, consented and agreed to pay a civil money penalty in

After taking into account the CONSENT AGREEMENT, the appropriateness of
the penalty with respect to the financial resources and good faith of

previous violations by Respondent, and such other matters as justice
may require, the FDIC accepts the CONSENT AGREEMENT and issues the
following:
