   WHEREAS, Keystone Holdings, Inc., Fort Worth, Texas ("Keystone"), has made a proposal to the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") to recapitalize Family Savings Bank, FSB, Los Angeles, California ("Family"), through investing in a qualified stock issuance offered by Family ("QSI") and to comply with certain other conditions and restrictions imposed by the FDIC and the OTS;

   WHEREAS, as a result of the proposal, New West Federal Savings and Loan Association, Stockton, California, and American Savings Bank, F.A., Stockton, California (collectively "Insured Institutions"), which are currently controlled by Keystone, may become potentially liable to the FDIC pursuant to section 5(e) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act ("Act"), 12 U.S.C. §1815(e), for losses incurred or reasonably anticipated to be incurred by the FDIC in connection with the default of Family, should Family ever go into default, as a commonly controlled insured depository institution;

   WHEREAS, in conjunction with the proposal, Keystone has made application on behalf of the Insured Institutions to the FDIC for an exemption pursuant to the provisions of section 5(e)(5)(A) of the Act, 12 U.S.C. §1815(e)(5)(A); and

   WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the FDIC ("Board") has fully considered the facts and information relating to the application for exemption and has concluded that approval of the application is in the best interests of the Savings Association Insurance Fund and should be granted, subject to certain conditions and restrictions set forth below.

   IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED:

   The request of Keystone for an exemption pursuant to the provisions of section 5(e)(5)(A) of the Act, 12 U.S.C. §1815(e)(5)(A), is hereby granted, subject to the following conditions as set forth below in this ORDER CONDITIONALLY GRANTING APPROVAL FOR WAIVER OF CROSS-GUARANTY ("ORDER"):

   [.4]4. Keystone will comply with the conditions set forth in paragraphs 1(B) through (F) of OTS Order No. 92-66, dated February 28, 1992 ("OTS Order"), attached hereto and made a part hereof.

   5. Keystone shall ensure that all requisite documents and approvals have been obtained from any necessary parties, including the OTS, in order to consummate and effectuate the conditions and transactions upon which this ORDER is based.

   [.6]7. If Keystone fails to inject $1,000,000 into Family by April 10, 1992, as described in paragraph 1, above, such failure will render this ORDER null and void, without further hearing on the matter.

   [.7]8. Failure of Keystone to comply with the conditions enumerated in paragraphs 2 and 3 will render this ORDER null and void, without further hearing on the matter.

   [.8]10. This ORDER for an exemption pertains only to losses incurred or reasonably anticipated to be incurred by the FDIC in connection with any default of or assistance provided to Family.

   [.9]11. Provided that Keystone complies with all conditions enumerated in this ORDER, this ORDER will become a permanent exemption as to losses incurred or reasonably anticipated to be incurred by the FDIC in connection with any default of or assistance provided to Family.
