Thereafter, the Bank shall implement and follow the written policy. [.5] 5. (a) As of the effective date of this ORDER, the board of directors shall increase its participation in the affairs of the Bank, assuming full responsibility for the approval of sound policies and objectives and for the supervision of all of the Bank's activities, consistent with the role and expertise commonly expected for directors of banks of comparable size.

(c) Any increase in Tier 1 capital necessary to meet the requirements of Paragraph 6 of this ORDER may be accomplished by the following: (i) the sale of common stock; or (ii) the sale of noncumulative perpetual preferred stock; or (iii) the direct contribution of cash by the board of directors, shareholders, and/or parent holding company; or (iv) any other means acceptable to the Regional Director and the Director of Banks; or (v) any combination of the above means. Any increase in Tier 1 capital necessary to meet the requirements of Paragraph 6 of this ORDER may not be accomplished through a deduction from the Bank's allowance for loan and lease losses. (d) If all or part of the increase in Tier 1 capital required by Paragraph 6 of this ORDER is accomplished by the sale of new securities by the Bank, the board of directors shall forthwith take all necessary steps to adopt and implement a plan for the sale of such additional securities, including the voting of any shares owned or proxies held or controlled by them in favor of the plan. Should the implementation of the plan involve a public distribution of the Bank's securities (including a distribution limited only to the Bank's existing shareholders), the Bank shall prepare offering materials fully describing the securities being offered, including an accurate description of the financial condition of the Bank and the circumstances giving rise to the offering, and any other material disclosures necessary to comply with the Federal securities laws.

Any changes requested to be made in the plan or materials by the FDIC shall be made prior to their dissemination.

(e) In complying with the provisions of Paragraph 6 of this ORDER, the Bank shall provide to any subscriber and/or purchaser of the Bank's securities, a written notice of any planned or existing development or other changes which are materially different from the information reflected in any offering materials used in connection with the sale of Bank securities. The written notice required by this paragraph shall be furnished within ten (10) days from the date such material development or change was planned or occurred, whichever is earlier, and shall be furnished to every subscriber and/or purchaser of the Bank's securities who received or was tendered the information contained in the Bank's original offering materials. (f) For the purposes of this ORDER, the terms "Tier 1 capital" and "total assets" shall have, the meanings ascribed to them in Part 325 of the FDIC Rules and Regulations, 12 C.F.R. §§ 325.2(v) and 325.2(x). [.7] 7. (a) As of the effective date of this ORDER, the Bank shall replenish the allowance for loan and lease losses ("ALLL") as directed on page 3 of the Report of Examination and thereafter maintain the ALLL at an adequate level. (b) Within 30 days of the effective date of this ORDER, the Bank shall improve its ALLL methodology, correct all deficiencies relating to the ALLL methodology detailed in the Report of Examination, and ensure future compliance with outstanding regulatory statements of policy regarding ALLL. (c) Within 30 days from the effective date of this ORDER, the board of
directors shall also develop or revise, adopt and implement a
comprehensive policy for determining the adequacy of the ALLL. For the
purpose of this determination, the adequacy of the ALLL shall be
determined after the charge-off of all loans or other items classified
"Loss." The policy shall provide for a review of the ALLL at
least once each calendar quarter. Said review should be completed prior
to the end of each quarter, in order that the findings of the board of
directors with respect
to the ALLL may be properly reported in the quarterly Reports of Condition and Income. The review shall, at a minimum, focus on the results of the Bank's internal loan review, loan loss experience, trends of delinquent and non-accrual loans, an estimate of potential loss exposure of significant credits, concentrations of credit, and present and prospective economic conditions. A deficiency in the ALLL shall be remedied in the calendar quarter it is discovered, prior to submitting the Report of Condition, by a charge to current operating earnings. The minutes of the board of directors meeting at which such review is undertaken shall indicate the results of the review. Upon completion of the review, the Bank shall increase and maintain its ALLL consistent with the ALLL policy established. Such policy and its implementation shall be satisfactory to the Regional Director and the Director of Banks as determined at subsequent examinations and/or visitations. [.8] 8. (a) Within five days from the effective date of this ORDER, the Bank shall eliminate from its books, by charge-off or collection, all assets classified "Loss" and one-half of the assets classified "Doubtful" in the Report of Examination that have not been previously collected or charged off. Elimination of these assets through proceeds of other loans made by the Bank is not considered collection for the purpose of this paragraph. (b) Within 90 days from the effective date of this ORDER, the Bank shall have reduced the assets classified "Substandard" and "Doubtful" in the Report of Examination that have not previously been charged off to not more than $14,000,000.

Reduction of these assets through proceeds of other loans made by the Bank is not considered collection for the purpose of this paragraph. As used in subparagraphs 8(b), 8(c), 8(d), 8(e) and 8(f) the word "reduce" means: (i) to collect; (ii) to charge-off; or (iii) to sufficiently improve the quality of assets adversely classified to warrant removing any adverse classification, as determined by the Regional Director and the Director of Banks. [.9] 9.

(c) Beginning with the effective date of this ORDER, the Bank shall not extend, directly or indirectly, any additional credit to, or for the benefit of, any borrower who has a loan or other extension of credit from the Bank that has been classified, in whole or part, "Substandard" without the prior approval of a majority of the board of directors or the loan committee of the Bank.

credit, or additional credit to a borrower in paragraphs (b) and (c)
above without first collecting in cash all past due interest.

For each time frame, the plan will also specify the anticipated average maturity and average yield on loans and securities; the average maturity and average cost of deposits; the level of earning assets as a percentage of total assets; and the ratio of net interest income to average earning assets. The plan shall be in a form and manner acceptable to the Regional Director and the Director of Banks as determined at subsequent examinations and/or visitations. [.13] 13.
