In the Matter of

individually, and as institution-affiliated party of
BESTBANK
BOULDER, COLORADO
(Insured State Nonmember Bank — In Receivership)
ORDER OF PROHIBITION FROM FURTHER PARTICIPATION

FDIC-00-007E

   John J. Schmalzer ("Respondent") has been advised of the right to receive a NOTICE OF INTENTION TO PROHIBIT FROM FURTHER PARTICIPATION ("NOTICE") issued by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") detailing the unsafe or unsound practices and/or breaches of fiduciary duty for which an ORDER OF PROHIBITION FROM FURTHER PARTICIPATION ("ORDER") may issue, and has been further advised of the right to a hearing on the alleged charges under section 8(e) of the Federal Deposit Insurance
{{3-31-02 p.C-5040}}

   Act ("Act"), 12 U.S.C. §1818(e), and the FDIC's Rules of Practice and Procedure, 12 C.F.R. Part 308. Having waived those rights, the 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, whereby solely for the purpose of this proceeding and without admitting or denying any unsafe or unsound practices and/or any breaches of fiduciary duty, Respondent consented to the issuance of an ORDER by the FDIC.

   The FDIC considered the matter and determined it had reason to believe that:

       (a) The Respondent engaged or participated in unsafe or unsound practices and/or breaches of fiduciary duty as an institution-affiliated party of BestBank, Boulder, Colorado;

       (b) By reason of such unsafe or unsound practices and/or breaches of fiduciary duty, the Bank suffered financial loss or other damage, the interests of the Bank's depositors have been prejudiced and/or Respondent received financial gain or other benefit; and

       (c) Such unsafe or unsound practices and/or breaches of fiduciary duty demonstrated the Respondent's willful and/or continuing disregard for the safety or soundness of the Bank.

   The FDIC further determined that such unsafe or unsound practices and/or breaches of fiduciary duty demonstrate the Respondent's unfitness to serve as a director, officer, person participating in the conduct of the affairs or as an institution-affiliated party of any insured depository institution, or any other agency or organization enumerated in section 8(e)(7)(A) of the Act, 12 U.S.C. §1818(c)(7)(A).

   The FDIC, therefore, accepted the CONSENT AGREEMENT and issued the following:

   

ORDER OF PROHIBITIONFROM FURTHER PARTICIPATION

   1. John J. Schmalzer is hereby, without the prior written approval of the FDIC and the appropriate Federal financial institutions regulatory agency, as that term is defined in section 8(e)(7)(D) of the Act, 12 U.S.C. §1818(e)(7)(D), prohibited from:

   [.1] (a) participating in any manner in the conduct of the affairs of any financial institution or organization enumerated in section 8(e)(7)(A) of the Act, 12 U.S.C. §1818(e)(7)(A);

   [.2] (b) soliciting, procuring, transferring, attempting to transfer, voting, or attempting to vote any proxy, consent or authorization with respect to any voting rights in any financial institution enumerated in section 8(e)(7)(A) of the Act, 12 U.S.C. §1818(e)(7)(A);

   (c) violating any voting agreement previously approved by the appropriate Federal banking agency; or

   (d) voting for a director, or serving or acting as an institution-affiliated party.

   2. This ORDER will become effective ten (10) days after its issuance. The provisions of this ORDER will remain effective and enforceable except to the extent that, and until such time as, any provision of this ORDER shall have been modified, terminated, suspended, or set aside by the FDIC.

   Pursuant to delegated authority.

   Dated this 21st day of December, 2000.
