Part 21, Subpart C.

The Bank, in the interest of compliance and cooperation, consents to the issuance of a Consent Order, dated September 11, 2013 (the “Order”).

In consideration of the above premises, the Comptroller, through his authorized representative, and the Bank, through its duly elected and acting Board of Directors, hereby stipulate and agree to the following:
