L. No. 101-73 §902, 103 Stat. 183, 450 (1989) (to be codified at 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 April 6, 1990, 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 and regulation, the Bank consented to the issuance of an ORDER TO CEASE AND DESIST ("ORDER") by the FDIC.
   The FDIC considered the matter and determined that it had reason to believe that the Bank had engaged in unsafe or unsound banking practices and had violated laws and regulations. The FDIC, therefore, accepted the CONSENT AGREEMENT, and issued the following:

This written plan shall be submitted to the Regional Director and Commissioner for their review and comment.
   (c) Within 30 days of the receipt of any comment from the Regional Director and Commissioner regarding the Bank's growth plan and written plan to reduce loan volume described in sub-paragraphs (a) and (b) above, and after conforming the plans in accordance with any changes recommended by the Regional Director or Commissioner, the board of directors shall approve and implement the plans.
