ORDER OF PROHIBITION FROM
FURTHER PARTICIPATION

   Kenneth E. Rolston ("Respondent"), individually, and as a former officer, director, and/or person participating in the conduct of the affairs of Enterprise Bank - Houston, Houston, Texas, Navigation Bank, Houston, Texas, Alvin State Bank, Alvin, Texas, Highlands State Bank, Highlands, Texas, and the former Commercial State Bank, Houston, Texas (collectively, the "Banks"), was advised of his right to file an Answer to the NOTICE OF INTENTION TO PROHIBIT FROM FURTHER PARTICIPATION ("NOTICE") issued by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"), which NOTICE details the violations of law, rule and/or regulation, unsafe or unsound banking practices, and/or breaches of fiduciary duty by reason of which the Banks had suffered substantial financial loss or other damage and/or the interests of its depositors had been prejudiced, and which demonstrated a willful and/or continuing disregard by Respondent for the safety and soundness of the Banks. Having been further advised of his right to a hearing on those alleged charges pursuant to section 8(e) of the Act, 12 U.S.C. § 1818(e), and Part 308 of the FDIC's Rules of Practice and Procedures, 56 Fed. Reg. 37,968 (1991) (to be codified at 12 C.F.R. Part 308), and having waived those rights, Respondent entered into a STIPULATION AND CONSENT TO THE ISSUANCE OF AN ORDER OF PROHIBITION FROM FURTHER PARTICIPATION ("CONSENT AGREEMENT") with a representative of the Legal Division of the FDIC, dated January 6, 1992, whereby solely for the purpose of this proceeding and without admitting or denying any of the alleged violations of law, unsafe or unsound banking practices and/or breaches of fiduciary duty, Respondent consented to the issuance of an ORDER OF PROHIBITION FROM FURTHER PARTICIPATION ("ORDER") by the FDIC.
   The FDIC considered the matter and determined there was and is reason to believe that:

       (i) Respondent had engaged or otherwise had participated in violations of law, rule and/or regulation, unsafe or unsound banking practices, and/or breaches of his fiduciary duty as a former officer, director, and/or person participating in the conduct of the affairs of the Banks;
       (ii) By reason of such violations, practices and/or breaches of fiduciary duty, each of the Banks has suffered substantial financial loss or other damage and/or the interests of its depositors have been prejudiced; and
       (iii) Such violations, practices and/or breaches of fiduciary duty demonstrated a willful and/or continuing disregard by the Respondent for the safety or soundness of the Banks.
   The FDIC further determined that such violations, practices and/or breaches of fiduciary duty evidence Respondent's unfitness to serve as an officer, director, employee, person participating in the conduct of the affairs, and/or as an "institution-affiliated party" of any insured depository institution, agency or organization enumerated in section 8(e)(7)(A) of the Act, 12 U.S.C. § 1818(e)(7)(A). The FDIC, therefore, accepted the CONSENT AGREEMENT and issued the following:
