The Office recognizes that the Bank has made significant progress in correcting
numerous areas of concern identified in the May 25, 2007, Stipulation and
Consent Agreement, as adopted in the Office's Final Order of May 31, 2007, in
Administrative Proceeding Number 0342-B-9/06 ("2007 ORDER"). However, the Office
has determined that the continued deterioration of the national and state
economic conditions, especially in residential and commercial real estate, have
adversely impacted the Bank and therefore superseding action in the
form of an Order to Cease and Desist ("ORDER") is necessary.

     

    The Bank, by executing the attached
STIPULATION AND CONSENT TO ENTRY OF ORDER TO CEASE AND DESIST, which is hereby
incorporated by reference in this ORDER, has agreed to the entry of such
an ORDER and the termination of the 2007 ORDER.

     

    Accordingly,
it is hereby ORDERED that the Bank, and each of its
directors,  officers,

     

    employees,
and financial institution-affiliated parties, as such terms are defined in
Section

     

    655.005, Florida Statutes, and in the
Federal Deposit Insurance Act ("FDI Act") (12 U.S.C. § 1811et seq.) at 12 U.S.C. § 1813(u),
successors, assigns, and other persons participating in the conduct and
affairs of the Bank, shall CEASE AND DESIST from the following unsafe and unsound practices and violations of
applicable regulatory guidance relating to financial
institutions:

     

    A.
Operating the Bank in a manner that fails to prevent unsafe and unsound
practices and violations of regulatory guidance;

     

    B. Operating the Bank without adequate
loan underwriting standards or a loan review program that would insure
sound loan underwriting, risk assessment, and risk management;

     

    C.
Operating the Bank with an excessive level of adversely classified
assets;

     

    D.
Operating the Bank with an excessive level of brokered deposits;

     

    E.
Operating the Bank with an excessive level of concentrations in commercial
real

     

    estate
loans; and,

     

    F.
Operating the Bank with inadequate earnings.

     

    In
addition to the foregoing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Bank and its
directors,

     

    officers, employees, financial
institution-affiliated parties, successors, assigns, and other persons
participating in the conduct and affairs of the Bank take the following
affirmative corrective actions:

      may be deemed necessary to properly evaluate the proposed individual(s).
      The Bank shall not add or employ any proposed individual(s) if either of

      As long as this ORDER remains in effect, the Bank shall, within 30 days of
      receipt of any official Report of Examination of the Bank from the
      Supervisory Authorities, eliminate from its books by collection,
      charge-off, or other proper entries, all assets or portions of assets
      classified "Loss" which have not been previously collected or charged off,
      unless approved in writing by the Supervisory Authorities.

              Within 30 days of the effective
      date of this ORDER, the Board shall establish a Special Assets
      Committee, the majority of which shall be comprised of outside directors.
      Active officers participating in the Special Assets Committee shall not
      have had any role in the underwriting or approval of assets subject to
      this committee. The Special Assets Committee shall oversee loan and Other
      Real Estate Owned (OREO) workout efforts and approve all major aspects of
      loan and OREO improvement plans, including the Classified Assets Plan
      developed pursuant to paragraph 12 of this ORDER. The committee shall meet
      no less often than monthly.

            

    

     

    
      	
              12.

            	
              Within
      60 days from the effective date of this ORDER, under supervision of the
      Special Assets Committee established pursuant to paragraph 11 of this
      ORDER, the Bank shall formulate a written plan to reduce the Bank's risk
      exposure in each asset, or relationship, in excess of $500,000 and
      classified "Substandard" or "Doubtful" in the Report, or classified "Loss"
      but permitted to remain on the books pursuant to written approval of the
      Supervisory Authorities ("Classified Assets Plan"). For purposes of this
      provision, "reduce" means to collect, charge off, or improve the quality
      of an asset so as to warrant its removal from adverse classification by
      the Supervisory Authorities. In developing the Classified Assets Plan
      mandated by this paragraph, the Bank shall, at a minimum, and with respect
      to each adversely classified loan or lease, review, analyze, and document
      the financial position of the borrower, including source of repayment,
      repayment ability, and alternative repayment sources, as well as the value
      and accessibility of any pledged or assigned collateral, and any possible
      actions to improve the Bank's collateral
  position.

              In
      addition, the Classified Assets Plan mandated by this provision shall also
      include, but not be limited to, the

              additional

      advance of funds, such additional credit shall be approved by the Board,

      quarter, in order that the findings of the Board with respect to the ALLL
      may be properly reported in the quarterly Reports of Condition and Income.
      Such reviews shall, at a minimum:

      Income, the Interagency Policy Statement on the Allowance for Loan and
