        through its duly elected and acting Board of Directors (“Board”), and the
        Comptroller, through his authorized representative, that the Bank shall operate
        at all times in compliance with the articles of this Agreement.

      (2)    Within
        sixty (60) days, the Board shall review the capabilities of the Bank’s

        the
        Board determines that an officer will continue in his/her position but that
        the

        days, develop and implement a written program, with specific time frames,
        to

        against the Bank’s goals and objectives.

      Upon
        completion, a copy of the written program shall be submitted to the
        ADC.

      (5)    If
        a
        position mentioned in this Article is vacant now or in the future, including
        if
        the Board realigns an existing officer’s responsibilities and a position
        mentioned in this Article becomes vacant, the Board shall within ninety (90)
        days of such vacancy appoint a capable person to the vacant position who
        shall
        be vested with sufficient executive authority to ensure the Bank’s compliance

        ADC
        shall have the power to disapprove the appointment of the proposed new officer.

        requirement to submit information and the prior disapproval provisions of
        this

        discovered, prior to the filing of the Consolidated Reports of Condition

      (3)    A
        copy of
        the Board's program shall be submitted to the ADC for review and prior written
        determination of no supervisory objection. Upon receiving a determination

        capital program. The Board shall review and update the Bank's capital program
        on
        an annual basis, or more frequently if necessary. Copies of the reviews and

      adherence
        to, and undertake to perform certain
        obligations of the Bank, 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 Agreement;
          

        (b)    require

          such
          actions. 

        (7)    This
          Agreement is intended to be, and shall be construed to be, a supervisory
          “written agreement entered into with the agency” as contemplated by 12 U.S.C. §
1818(b)(1), and expressly does not form, and may not be construed to form,
          a
          contract binding on the Comptroller or the United States. Notwithstanding
          the
          absence of mutuality 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 U.S.C. § 1818(b)(1),
          and not as a matter of contract law. The Bank expressly acknowledges that
          neither the Bank nor the Comptroller has any intention to enter into a
          contract.
          The Bank also expressly acknowledges that no officer or employee of the
          Office
          of the Comptroller of the Currency has statutory or other authority to
          bind the
          United States, the U.S. Treasury Department, the Comptroller, or any other
          federal bank regulatory agency or entity, or any officer or employee of
          any of
          those entities to a contract affecting the Comptroller’s exercise of his
          supervisory

        The terms of this Agreement, 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.
