ORDER OF REMOVAL FROM

FROM FURTHER PARTICIPATION
FDIC-91-288e

   Gary A. Larson ("Respondent"), having been advised of his right to a NOTICE OF INTENTION TO REMOVE FROM OFFICE AND TO PROHIBIT FROM FURTHER PARTICIPATION ("NOTICE") issued by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") detailing the unsafe or unsound banking practices, violations of law, rule or regulation, and/or breaches of fiduciary duty demonstrating willful or continuing disregard for safety or soundness and involving personal dishonesty alleged to have been committed by Respondent individually and as an institution-affiliated party in his capacity as director, officer and person participating in the conduct of the affairs of State Savings Bank, Aplington, Iowa ("Insured Institution"), resulting in substantial financial loss or other damage to the Insured Institution, serious prejudice to the interests of the Insured Institution's depositors and financial gain to the Respondent, and having been further advised of his right to a hearing on the alleged charges under section 8(e) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act ("Act"), 12 U.S.C. § 1818(e), and Part 308 of the FDIC's Rules of Practice and Procedures, 12 C.F.R. Part 308, waived those rights and entered into a STIPULATION AND CONSENT TO THE ISSUANCE OF AN ORDER OF REMOVAL FROM OFFICE AND PROHIBITION FROM FURTHER PARTICIPATION ("CONSENT AGREEMENT") with a representative of the Legal Division of the FDIC, dated April 5, 1991, whereby solely for the purpose of this proceeding and without admitting or denying any unsafe or unsound banking practices, violations of law, rule or regulation, and/or breaches of fiduciary duty, Respondent consented to the issuance of an ORDER OF REMOVAL FROM OFFICE AND PROHIBITION FROM FURTHER PARTICIPATION ("ORDER") by the FDIC.
   The FDIC considered the matter and determined it had reason to believe that:
   (a) Respondent has engaged or participated in unsafe or unsound banking practices, violations of law, rule or
{{12-31-91 p.C-1570}}regulation, and breaches of his fiduciary duty as a director and officer of the Insured Institution;
   (b) by reason of such practices, violations, and breaches of fiduciary duty, (i) the Insured Institution has suffered or will probably suffer substantial financial loss or other damage, (ii) the interests of the Insured Institution's depositors have been or could be seriously prejudiced, and (iii) Respondent has received financial gain; and
   (c) such practices, violations, and breaches of fiduciary duty demonstrate Respondent's willful and continuing disregard for the safety or soundness of the Bank and involve his personal dishonesty.
   The FDIC further determined that such practices, violations, and breaches of fiduciary duty demonstrate Respondent's unfitness to serve as an institution-affiliated party of any insured depository institution, as defined in section 3(u) of the Act, 12 U.S.C. § 1813(u), including his unfitness to continue to serve as a director or officer of the Insured Institution. The FDIC, therefore, accepted the CONSENT AGREEMENT and issued the following:

   [.1] 1. IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that, except with the prior written consent obtained in accordance with section 8(e)(7)(B) of the Act, 12 U.S.C. § 1818(e)(7)(B), Respondent is removed as an institution-affiliated party of the Insured Institution and is prohibited from participating in any manner in the conduct of the affairs of the Insured Institution.

   [.2] 2. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, except with prior written consent obtained in accordance with the said section 8(e)(7)(B) of the Act, Respondent shall not continue or commence to hold any office in, or participate in any manner in the conduct of the affairs of, any institution or agency specified in section 8(e)(7)(A) of the Act, 12 U.S.C. § 1818(e)(7)(A), including:

   (d) any insured credit union under the Federal Credit Union Act;
