WHEREAS, the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS), based upon information derived
from the exercise of its regulatory responsibilities, is of the opinion that
grounds exist to initiate a civil money penalty assessment proceeding against
American Savings Bank, F.S.B., Honolulu, Hawaii, OTS Docket No. 08384
(Institution), pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 4012a(f); and

WHEREAS, the Institution desires to cooperate with the OTS and to avoid the time
and expense of such administrative proceeding; and

WHEREAS, the Institution enters into this Stipulation and Consent to the
Issuance of an Order of Assessment of a Civil Money Penalty (Stipulation)
without admitting or denying that grounds exist to initiate a civil money
penalty proceeding but admitting the statements and conclusions in Paragraph 1
below, concerning jurisdiction, hereby stipulates and agrees to the following:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Jurisdiction.

(a) The Institution is a “savings association” within the meaning of 12 U.S.C. §
1813(b) and 12 U.S.C. § 1462(4) and a “regulated lending institution” as that
term is defined at 12 U.S.C. § 4003(a)(10);

(b) Pursuant to 12 U.S.C. § 1813(q) and 42 U.S.C. § 4003(a)(5), the Director of
the OTS is the “appropriate Federal Banking agency” and the “Federal entity for
lending regulation” to initiate and maintain a civil money penalty proceeding
against the Institution pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 4012a(f); and

(c) The Director of the OTS has delegated to the Regional Director of the West
Region of the OTS or his designee (Regional Director) the authority to issue
civil money penalty assessment orders where a savings association has consented
to the issuance of the order.

2. OTS Findings of Fact. The Institution failed to comply with the requirements
set forth in 42 U.S.C. §§ 4001-4128, and OTS implementing regulations set forth
at 12 C.F.R. Part 572. Specifically, OTS finds the Institution engaged in a
pattern or practice of violations under 42 U.S.C. § 4012a(f)(1) by failing to
ensure adequate flood insurance coverage at loan origination in violation of 12
C.F.R. § 572.3 or failing to provide appropriate notification or to force place
insurance in instances where the loan was covered by no or inadequate flood
insurance in violation of 12 C.F.R. §572.7. The violations involve a total of
ninety-eight (98) loans.

3. Consent. The Institution consents to the issuance by the OTS of the
accompanying Consent Order of Assessment of Civil Money Penalty (Order). The
Institution further agrees to comply with the terms of the Order upon issuance
and stipulates that the Order complies with all requirements of law.

12 U.S.C. § 1818(i) and 42 U.S.C. § 4012a(f).

5. Waivers. The Institution waives the following:

(b) The right to an administrative hearing of the OTS’s charges against it as
provided by 12 U.S.C. § 1818(i), 12 C.F.R. Part 509, and 42 U.S.C. §
4012a(f)(4);

(c) The right to seek judicial review of the Order or otherwise to challenge the

Access to Justice Act, 5 U.S.C. § 504, or 28 U.S.C. § 2412.

(b) If any provision of this Stipulation and the Order is ruled to be invalid,
illegal, or unenforceable by the decision of any Court of competent
jurisdiction, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining
provisions hereof shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, unless
