(1) The Bank shall, within one hundred twenty (120) days, achieve and maintain the following
minimum capital levels (as defined in 12 C.F.R. Part 3)1:

capitalized” for purposes of 12 U.S.C. § 1831o and 12 C.F.R. Part 6 pursuant to
12 C.F.R. § 6.4(b)(1)(iv).
	 
	2	 	Adjusted total assets is defined in 12 C.F.R. § 3.2(a)

	 	(f)	 	a dividend policy that permits the declaration of a dividend
only:

	 	(i)	 	when the Bank is in compliance with its

Capital Plan and paragraph (1) of this Article immediately following
the payment of any dividend;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	when the Bank is in compliance with 12 U.S.C.
§§ 56 and 60; and
	 
	 	(iii)	 	following the prior written determination of
no supervisory objection by the Director.

(3) Prior to the Bank’s offering of any new products or services, or the resumption of
commercial real estate lending, the Board shall forward to the Director for his review a written
Strategic Plan for the Bank covering at least a three-year period. Immediately following receipt
of the Director’s determination of no supervisory objection, the Board shall adopt and the Bank
(subject to Board review and ongoing monitoring) shall implement and thereafter ensure adherence to
the Strategic Plan which shall, at a minimum, include the following:

	 	(a)	 	the strategic goals and objectives to be accomplished, to focus
on reduced concentrations risk and greater diversification of risk in business
lines;
	 
	 	(b)	 	an assessment of the risks and benefits of the product, service
or business line to the Bank;

 

 

 

	 	(c)	 	a description of the Bank’s targeted market(s) and an
assessment of the current and projected risks and competitive factors in the
Bank’s identified target market(s);
	 
	 	(d)	 	specific actions to accomplish identified strategic goals and
objectives, including specific time frames;
	 
	 	(e)	 	designated Bank personnel who are responsible and accountable
for achieving each goal and objective of the Strategic Plan; and
	 
	 	(f)	 	the appointment of a qualified and capable Chief Credit Officer
who shall be vested with sufficient executive authority to fulfill the duties
and responsibilities of this position and ensure the safe and sound operation
of the Bank.

(4) Prior to the appointment of any individual pursuant to paragraph (3), section (f) of this
Article, the Board shall submit to the Director written notice as required by 12 C.F.R. § 5.51 and
in accordance with the Comptroller’s Licensing Manual, to include a position description, duties
and responsibilities. The Director shall have the power to disapprove the appointment of the
proposed officer. However, the failure to exercise such veto power shall not constitute an
approval or endorsement of the proposed officer.

(5) The requirement to submit information and the prior disapproval provisions of paragraph
(4) of this Article are based upon the authority of 12 U.S.C. § 1818(b) and do not
require the Comptroller or the Director to complete his review and act on any such information
or authority within ninety (90) days.

 

 

 

(6) The Board shall review and update the Bank’s Capital Plan and Strategic Plan on an annual
basis or more frequently if necessary, or if requested by the Director. Prior to adoption by the
Board, any subsequent amendments or revisions to the Capital Plan or the Strategic Plan shall be
forwarded to the Director for review and prior written determination of no supervisory objection.
Upon receiving a determination of no supervisory objection from the Director, the Bank (subject to
Board review and ongoing monitoring) shall immediately implement and adhere to the Capital Plan
and/or Strategic Plan, as amended or revised.

(7) If the Director determines, in his sole judgment, that the Bank failed to submit an
acceptable Capital Plan as required by paragraph (2) of this Article, or fails to implement or
adhere to a Capital Plan for which the Director has taken no supervisory objection pursuant to
paragraphs (2) or (3) of this Article, then within thirty (30) days of receiving written notice
from the Director of such fact, the Bank shall develop and shall submit to the Director for his
review and prior written determination of no supervisory objection a Disposition Plan, which shall
detail the Board’s proposal to sell or merge the Bank, or liquidate the Bank under 12 U.S.C. § 181.

(8) In the event that the Disposition Plan submitted by the Bank’s Board outlines a sale or
merger of the Bank, the Disposition Plan, at a minimum, shall address the steps that will be taken
and the associated timeline to ensure that a definitive agreement for the sale or merger is
executed not later than ninety (90) days after the receipt of the Director’s written determination
of no supervisory objection to the Disposition Plan. If the Disposition Plan outlines a
liquidation of the Bank, the Disposition Plan shall detail the actions and steps necessary to
accomplish the liquidation in conformance with 12 U.S.C. §§ 181 and 182, and the dates by which
each step of
the liquidation shall be completed, including the date by which the Bank will terminate the
national bank charter. In the event of liquidation, the Bank shall hold a shareholder vote
pursuant to 12 U.S.C. § 181, and commence liquidation, within thirty (30) days of receiving the
Director’s written determination of no supervisory objection to the Disposition Plan.

 

 

 

(9) After the Director has advised the Bank in writing that he does not take supervisory
objection to the Disposition Plan, the Board shall immediately implement, and shall thereafter
ensure adherence to, the terms of the Disposition Plan. Failure to submit a timely, acceptable
Disposition Plan, or failure to implement and adhere to the Disposition Plan after the Board
obtains a written supervisory non-objection from the Director, may be deemed a violation of this
Order, in the exercise of the Director’s sole discretion.

hardship to the Bank, or requires an extension of any timeframe within this Order, the Board shall
submit a written request to the Director asking for relief. Any written requests submitted
pursuant to this Article shall include a statement setting forth in detail the special

CLOSING

review or prior determination of no supervisory objection of the Director, the Board has
the ultimate responsibility for proper and sound management of the Bank and the completeness
and accuracy of the Bank’s books and records.

(2) It is expressly and clearly understood that if, at any time, the Comptroller deems it
appropriate in fulfilling the responsibilities placed upon him by the several laws of the United
States of America to undertake any action affecting the Bank, nothing in this Order shall in any
way inhibit, estop, bar or otherwise prevent the Comptroller from so doing.

(3) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any time limitations imposed by this Order
shall begin to run from the effective date of this Order.

(4) The provisions of this Order are effective upon issuance of this Order by the Comptroller,
through his authorized representative whose hand appears below, and shall remain effective and
enforceable, except to the extent that, and until such time as, any provisions of this Order shall
have been amended, suspended, waived, or terminated in writing by the Comptroller.

(5) In each instance in this Order in which the Bank or the Board is required to ensure
adherence to, and undertake to perform certain obligations under, the Order, it is intended to mean
that the Board shall:

	 	(a)	 	authorize and adopt such actions on behalf of the Bank as may
be necessary for the Bank to perform its obligations and undertakings under the
terms of this Order;
	 
	 	(b)	 	require the timely reporting by Bank management of such actions
directed by the Board to be taken under the terms of this Order;

 

 

 

	 	(c)	 	follow-up on any non-compliance with such actions in a timely
and appropriate manner; and
	 
	 	(d)	 	require that corrective action of any non-compliance with such
actions be taken in a timely manner.

(6) This Order is intended to be, and shall be construed to be, a final order issued pursuant
to 12 U.S.C. § 1818(b), and expressly does not form, and may not be construed to form, a contract
binding on the Comptroller or the United States.

(7) The terms of this Order, including this paragraph, are not subject to amendment or
modification by any extraneous expression, prior agreements or prior arrangements between the
parties, whether oral or written.

IT IS SO ORDERED, this 18th day of February, 2009.

of obligation, or of consideration, or of a contract, the Comptroller may enforce any of the
commitments or obligations herein undertaken by the Bank under his supervisory powers, including 12
