{{7-31-04 p.C-6103}

   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 38 Ill. Adm. Code, section 392.30, regarding hearings before the Office of Banks and Real Estate for the State of Illinois ("OBRE"), and 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 ("STIPULATION") with representatives of the OBRE and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC"), dated April 30, 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 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:

       C. Operating with an inadequate allowance for loan and lease losses ("ALLL") for the volume, kind, and quality of loans and leases held;

       D. Engaging in hazardous lending and lax collection practices including but not limited to:

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

       G. Violating laws, rules, or regulations, including:

         (ii) Failing to comply with the lending limit restrictions of section 23A of the Federal Reserve Act ("section 23A"), 12 U.S.C. §371c(a)(1)(A); and

   [.1] 1. (a) Within 30 days from the last day of each calendar quarter following the effective date of this ORDER, the Bank shall determine from its Reports of Condition and Income its level of Tier 1 capital as a percentage of its total assets ("Capital Ratio") for that calendar quarter.

   (b) Any increase in Tier 1 capital may be accomplished by the following:

       (i) The sale of common stock and non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock constituting Tier 1 capital under Part 325; or

       (ii) The elimination of all or part of the assets classified "Loss" or "one-half of Doubtful" in the OBRE and FDIC joint report of examination as of September 15, 2003 ("Joint Report") without loss or liability to the Bank, provided any 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;
