   Continental Community Bank and Trust Company, Aurora, 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, rule or regulation alleged to have been committed by the Bank, and of its right to a hearing on the charges under section 38 Ill. Adm. Code, section 392.30,
{{11-30-04 p.C-5966}}

   regarding hearings before the Office of Banks and Real Estate for the State of Illinois ("OBRE"), and under section 8(b)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (the "FDI Act"), 12 U.S.C. §1818(b)(1), and having waived those rights, entered into a STIPULATION AND CONSENT TO THE ISSUANCE OF AN ORDER TO CEASE AND DESIST ("STIPULATION") with representatives of the OBRE and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC"), dated January 5, 2004 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, rule, or regulation, the Bank consented to the issuance of an ORDER TO CEASE AND DESIST ("ORDER") by the OBRE and the FDIC.

   The OBRE and the FDIC considered the matter and determined that there was reason to believe that the Bank had engaged in unsafe or unsound banking practices and had violated laws, rules, or regulations. The OBRE and the FDIC, therefore, accepted the STIPULATION and issued the following:

ORDER TO CEASE AND DESIST

   IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, that the Bank, its institution-affiliated parties, as that term is defined in section 3(u) of the FDI Act, 12 U.S.C. §1813(u), and its successors and assigns, cease and desist from the following unsafe or unsound banking practices and violations of law, rule, or regulation:

       I. Operating with management whose practices are detrimental to the Bank and jeopardize the safety of its deposits;

       J. Failing to provide accurate board reports and maintain adequate records; and

   IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, that the Bank, its institution-affiliated parties, as that term is defined in section 3(u) of the FDI Act, 12 U.S.C. §1813(u), and its successors and assigns, take affirmative action as follows:

If the capital ratio is less than 7.0 percent, the Bank shall, within 60 days of the date of the required determination, increase its capital ratio to not less than 7.0 percent calculated as of the end of that preceding quarterly period.

   (b) Such growth plan, at a minimum, shall include the funding source to support the projected growth, as well as the anticipated use of funds. This growth plan shall not be implemented without the prior written consent of the Commissioner and Regional Director.

In making this determination, the board of directors shall consider the FFIEC Instructions for the Reports of Condition and Income, the Policy Statement on Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses Methodologies and Documentation for Banks and Savings Institutions ("ALLL Policy Statement") and any analysis of the Bank's ALLL provided by the OBRE or the FDIC.

   (b) As used in this paragraph, "reduce" means to: collect; charge-off; or improve the quality of such assets so as to warrant removal of any adverse classification by the OBRE or the FDIC.

   (c) In developing such plan, the Bank shall, at a minimum, review the financial position of each such borrower, including the source of repayment, repayment ability, and alternative repayment sources.

   (d) Such plan shall include, but not be limited to:

   (g) As of the effective date of this ORDER, the Bank shall not extend, directly or indirectly, any additional credit to, or for the benefit of, any borrower whose loan or other credit has been classified "Substandard," "Doubtful" or is listed for "Special Mention" and is uncollected unless the Bank's board of directors has adopted, prior to such extension of credit, a detailed written statement giving the reasons why such extension of credit is in the best interest of the Bank. A copy of the statement shall be placed in the appropriate loan file and shall be incorporated in the minutes of the applicable board of directors' meeting.

   or charged-off. Any such charged-off asset shall not be rebooked without the prior written consent of the Commissioner and the Regional Director. Elimination or reduction of these assets with the proceeds of other Bank extensions of credit is not considered collection for the purpose of this paragraph.

   [.7]7. Effective immediately, the Bank shall not renew or obtain brokered deposits without the prior written approval of the Commissioner and the Regional Director.

   [.8]8. (a) Within 60 days from the effective date of this ORDER, the Bank shall develop and submit to the Commissioner and the Regional Director for review and comment a written plan addressing liquidity, the Bank's relationship of volatile liabilities to temporary investments and asset/liability management. Annually thereafter during the life of this ORDER, the Bank shall review this plan for adequacy and, based upon such review, make appropriate revisions to the plan that are necessary to strengthen funds management procedures and maintain adequate provisions to meet the Bank's liquidity needs.

       (v) Addressing the proper use of borrowings (e.g., seasonal credit needs, match-funding mortgage loans, etc.) and providing for limits on the use of the borrowed funds, addressing concentration of funding sources, pricing and collateral requirements with specific allowable funding channels identified (i.e., brokered deposits, internet deposits, Fed funds purchased and other correspondent borrowings);

       (vi) Establishing procedures to ensure that liquidity and cash flow calculations are accurate; and

       (vii) Establishing procedures for managing the Bank's sensitivity to interest rate risk which comply with the Joint Agency Statement of Policy on Interest Rate Risk (June 26, 1996). Specifically, the Bank should evaluate and revise as necessary assumptions used in the interest rate risk model, establish limits to monitor changes in the market value of equity for given interest rate changes, and provide for an annual independent review of the model.

   (c) Within 30 days from the receipt of all such comments from the Commissioner and the Regional Director, and after revising the plan as necessary, the Bank shall approve the plan, which approval shall be recorded in the minutes of a board of directors' meeting. Thereafter, the Bank shall implement the plan.
