            WebBank,  Salt Lake City, Utah ("Bank"),  having been advised of its
right to a Notice of  Charges  and of  Hearing  detailing  the unsafe or unsound
banking practices and violations of law and/or regulations  alleged to have been
committed by the Bank and of its right to a hearing on the alleged charges under
section  8(b)(1) of the Federal  Deposit  Insurance Act ("Act"),  12 U.S.C.  ss.
1818(b)(1),  and Utah Code Ann. §§  7-1-307,  and having  waived those  rights,
entered into a STIPULATION  AND CONSENT TO THE ISSUANCE OF AN ORDER TO CEASE AND
DESIST  ("CONSENT  AGREEMENT")  with counsel for the Federal  Deposit  Insurance
Corporation  ("FDIC"),  dated  January  26,  2005,  and  with  counsel  for  the
Department of Financial Institutions for the State of Utah ("Department"), dated
January 26, 2005,  whereby solely for the purpose of this proceeding and without
admitting or denying the alleged charges of unsafe or unsound banking  practices
and violations of law and/or regulations,  the Bank consented to the issuance of
an ORDER TO CEASE AND DESIST ("ORDER") by the FDIC and the Department.

            The FDIC and the  Department  considered  the matter and  determined
that they had reason to believe  that the Bank had  engaged in unsafe or unsound
banking practices and had committed  violations of law and/or  regulations.  The
FDIC and the Department,  therefore,  accepted the CONSENT AGREEMENTS and issued
the following:







                            ORDER TO CEASE AND DESIST
                            -------------------------

1813(u),  and its  successors  and assigns  cease and desist from the  following
unsafe and unsound banking practices and violations of law and/or regulation:

            (h)  operating  in  violation of sections 23A and 23B of the Federal
Reserve Act, 12 U.S.C.  ss.ss. 371c & 371c-1, made applicable to state nonmember
insured  institutions by section 18(j)(1) of the Act, 12 U.S.C. ss.  1828(j)(1),

                (a) Each  member of  management  shall have  qualifications  and
experience commensurate with his or her duties and responsibilities at the Bank.
Management  shall  include a chief  executive  officer  with  proven  ability in
managing a Bank of comparable  size,  and  experience in upgrading a low quality

attention.   Management  shall  also  include  a  senior  lending  officer  with
significant appropriate lending, collection, and loan supervision experience and
experience in upgrading a low quality loan portfolio.  Each member of management
shall  be  provided  appropriate  written  authority  from the  Bank's  board of
directors to implement the provisions of this ORDER.

                 (b) The  qualifications  of management shall be assessed on its
ability to:

                      (i)  comply with the requirements of this ORDER;

                     (ii)  operate the Bank in a safe and sound manner;

                    (iii)  comply with applicable laws and regulations; and

                 (c) During the life of this  ORDER,  the Bank shall  notify the
Regional  Director  of the  FDIC's  San  Francisco  Regional  Office  ("Regional
Director") and the  Commissioner,  Department of Financial  Institutions for the
State of Utah ("Commissioner") in writing when it proposes to add any individual

officer. The notification must be received at least 30 days before such addition
or employment is intended to become  effective and should  include a description
of the background and experience of the individual or individuals to be added or
employed.

            2. (a) Within 30 days from the  effective  date of this  ORDER,  the
board of directors shall increase its  participation in the affairs of the Bank,
assuming full  responsibility  for the approval of sound policies and objectives
and for the  supervision of all of the Bank's  activities,  consistent  with the
role and expertise  commonly expected for directors of Banks of comparable size.
This  participation  shall include  meetings to be held no less  frequently than
monthly,  with a majority of directors  attending in person,  and at which, at a
minimum,  the  following  areas  shall  be  reviewed  and  approved:  sufficient
information,  required of management,  so as to be fully informed of all lending
programs and the manner in which each lending line of business is conducted  and
controlled;  reports of income and expenses;  new,  overdue,  renewal,  insider,
charged-off,  and recovered loans; investment activity;  operating policies; and
individual  committee  actions.  Board minutes shall  document these reviews and
approvals, including the names of any dissenting directors.








                 (b)  Within 90 days of the date of this  ORDER,  the Bank shall
increase its board of directors by the addition of directors such that there are
no fewer than five directors,  a majority of whom must be independent directors.
Thereafter,  independent directors shall comprise a majority of the Bank's board
of  directors.

                 (c) The  addition  of any new Bank  directors  required by this
paragraph may be accomplished, to the extent permissible by state statute or the
Bank's  by-laws,  by means of  appointment  or  election at a regular or special
meeting of the Bank's  shareholders.  For purposes of this ORDER, an independent
director  shall  be  any  individual  who is not an  officer  of the  Bank,  any
subsidiary, or any of its affiliated  organizations;  who does not own more than
10 percent of the outstanding shares of the Bank; who is not related by blood or
marriage to an officer or director of the Bank or to any shareholder owning more
than 10 percent of the Bank's  outstanding  shares and does not otherwise have a
common financial interest with such officer, director or shareholder; who is not
indebted to the Bank director or indirectly,  including the  indebtedness of any
entity in which the  individual  has a  substantial  financial  interest,  in an
amount exceeding 10 percent of the Bank's total Tier 1 capital and allowance for
loan and  lease  losses;  or who is  deemed to be an  independent  director  for
purposes of this ORDER by the  Regional  Director and the  Commissioner.

             3.  (a) Within 120 days from the effective date of this ORDER,  the
Bank shall  develop  and adopt a capital  plan  designed to maintain an adequate
level of capital protection for the kind and quality of assets held by the bank.
The  Plan  shall  address  both   internal  and  external   sources  of  capital
augmentation,  including capital infusions and retention of earnings.

                 (b) Within 120 days from the effective date of this ORDER,  the
Bank shall develop and adopt a plan to meet and thereafter  maintain the minimum
risk-based capital  requirements as described in the FDIC Statement of Policy on
Risk-Based  Capital  contained  in  Appendix A to Part 325 of the FDIC Rules and
Regulations,  12 C.F.R.  Part 325,  Appendix  A. The Plan shall be in a form and
manner  acceptable to the Regional  Director and  Commissioner  as determined at
subsequent  examinations.






             4. Within 30 days from the effective  date of this ORDER,  the Bank
shall  have and  maintain  an  adequate  allowance  for loan and  lease  losses.

                Additionally,  within 120 days from the  effective  date of this
ORDER,  the board of directors  shall  develop or revise,  adopt and implement a
comprehensive  policy for determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan and
lease losses. For the purpose of this determination, the adequacy of the reserve
shall be determined  after the charge-off of all loans or other items classified
"Loss." The policy  shall  provide for a review of the  allowance  at least once
each  calendar  quarter.  Said review should be completed no later than ten (10)
days following the end of each calendar  quarter,  in order that the findings of
the board of directors  with respect to the loan and lease loss allowance may be
properly reported in the quarterly  Reports of Condition and Income.  The review
should  focus on the  results  of the Bank's  internal  loan  review,  loan loss
experience, trends of delinquent and non-accrual loans, an estimate of potential
loss exposure of significant credits,  concentrations of credit, and present and
prospective economic conditions. A deficiency in the allowance shall be remedied
in the calendar  quarter it is  discovered,  prior to  submitting  the Report of
Condition,  by a charge to current operating earnings.  The minutes of the board
of  directors  meeting at which such review is  undertaken  shall  indicate  the
results of the review.  Upon  completion of the review,  the Bank shall increase
and  maintain  its  allowance  for loan and  lease  losses  consistent  with the
allowance  for loan and lease  loss  policy  established.  Such  policy  and its
implementation   shall  be  satisfactory  to  the  Regional   Director  and  the
Commissioner as determined at subsequent examinations and/or visitations.

             5. (a) Within 10 days from the  effective  date of this ORDER,  the
Bank shall  eliminate from its books,  by charge-off or  collection,  all assets
classified "Loss" and one-half of the assets classified  "Doubtful" in the Joint
Report of  Examination  as of  August  30,  2004  that have not been  previously
collected or charged off.  Elimination of these assets through proceeds of other
loans  made by the Bank is not  considered  collection  for the  purpose of this
paragraph.

                (b) Within 90 days from the  effective  date of this ORDER,  the
Bank shall have reduced the assets  classified  "Substandard"  and "Doubtful" in
the Joint Report of Examination as of August 30, 2004,  that have not previously
been  charged  off to not more than  $1,600,000.

                (c) Within 180 days from the effective  date of this ORDER,  the
Bank shall have reduced the assets  classified  "Substandard"  and "Doubtful" in
the Joint Report of Examination as of August 30, 2004,  that have not previously
been  charged  off to not more than  $1,200,000.

                (d) Within 360 days from the effective  date of this ORDER,  the
Bank shall have reduced the assets  classified  "Substandard"  and "Doubtful" in
the Joint Report of Examination as of August 30, 2004,  that have not previously
been  charged  off  to  not  more  than  $800,000.

                (e) The requirements of subparagraphs 5(a), 5(b), 5(c), and 5(d)
of this ORDER are not to be construed as standards for future operations and, in
addition to the  foregoing,  the Bank shall  eventually  reduce the total of all
adversely classified assets. Reduction of these assets through proceeds of other
loans  made by the Bank is not  considered  collection  for the  purpose of this
paragraph. As used in subparagraphs 5(b), 5(c), 5(d), and 5(e) the word "reduce"
means:






                    (i)    to collect;

                   (ii)    to charge-off; or

                  (iii)    to   sufficiently   improve  the  quality  of  assets
adversely  classified  to  warrant  removing  any  adverse  classification,   as
determined by the FDIC and the Department at onsite examinations or visitations.

                (f) Within 60 days from the  effective  date of this ORDER,  the
Bank shall develop written asset  disposition  plans for each  classified  asset
greater  than  $100,000.  The plans shall be reviewed and approved by the Bank's
board of directors and acceptable to the Regional  Director and the Commissioner
as determined at subsequent examinations.

                (g) Within 120 days from the effective  date of this ORDER,  the
Bank shall adopt and implement a written plan for the  reduction and  collection
of delinquent  loans. The plan shall be acceptable to the Regional  Director and
the Commissioner as determined at subsequent examinations.

            6.  (a) Beginning  with the effective  date of this ORDER,  the Bank
shall not extend,  directly or indirectly,  any additional credit to, or for the
benefit of, any  borrower  who has a loan or other  extension of credit from the
Bank that has been  charged off or  classified,  in whole or in part,  "Loss" or
"Doubtful"  and is  uncollected.  Subparagraph  6(a) of  this  ORDER  shall  not
prohibit  the Bank from  renewing  or  extending  the  maturity of any credit in
accordance with the Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board Statement  Number 15
("FASB 15").

                (b) Beginning  with the effective  date of this ORDER,  the Bank
shall not extend,  directly or indirectly,  any additional credit to, or for the
benefit of, any  borrower  who has a loan or other  extension of credit from the
Bank in  excess  of  $100,000  that  has  been  classified,  in  whole  or part,
"Substandard" without the prior approval of a majority of the board of directors
or the loan  committee  of the Bank.







                (c) The loan  committee or Board shall not approve any extension
of credit,  or additional  credit to a borrower in paragraphs  (b) above without
first  collecting in cash all past due interest.

            7. Upon the effective  date of this Order,  the Bank shall cease any
and all purchases of factored accounts receivable until the Bank has established
and  implemented  policies and  procedures  to properly  monitor,  control,  and
provide proper  oversight for this program,  as described in the Joint Report of
Examination as of August 30, 2004.

            8.  (a) Within 120 days from the  effective  date of this ORDER,  the
Bank shall revise,  adopt, and implement written lending and collection policies
to provide  effective  guidance  and control over the Bank's  lending  function,
which  policies  shall  include  specific  guidelines  for  placing  loans  on a
non-accrual  basis.  In  addition,  the Bank shall  obtain  adequate and current
documentation  for all loans in the Bank's loan  portfolio.  Such  policies  and
their  implementation  shall be in a form and manner  acceptable to the Regional
Director and the  Commissioner as determined at subsequent  examinations  and/or
visitations.

                (b)  The  initial  revisions  to  the  Bank's  loan  policy  and
practices,  required  by  this  paragraph,  at  a  minimum,  shall  include  the
following:

                     (i)   provisions, consistent with FDIC instructions for the
preparation  of Reports of  Condition  and  Income,  under  which the accrual of
interest income is discontinued  and previously  accrued interest is reversed on
delinquent loans;

                    (ii)   provisions  which  prohibit  the   capitalization  of
interest or loans  related  expense  unless the board of  directors  supports in
writing  and  records in the  minutes of the  corresponding  board of  directors
meeting why an exception  thereto is in the best  interests  of the Bank;

                   (iii)   provisions     which    require     complete    loans
documentation, realistic repayment terms and current credit information adequate
to support the  outstanding  indebtedness  of the borrower.  Such  documentation
shall  include  current  financial  information,  profit and loss  statements or
copies of tax returns and cash flow projections;

                   (iv)   provisions which incorporate limitations on the amount
that can be loaned in relation to established collateral values;

                   (v)    provisions   which  specify  the   circumstances   and
conditions  under  which  real  estate   appraisals  must  be  conducted  by  an
independent third party;

                  (vi)    provisions  which  establish  standards  for unsecured
credit;

                  (vii) provisions which establish officer lending limits;







                (viii)   provisions that require  extensions of credit to any of
the Bank's executive officers,  directors, or principal shareholders,  or to any
related interest of such persons, to be approved in advance by a majority of the
entire board of directors in accordance with section 215.4(b) of Regulation O of
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System,  12 C.F.R.  ss.  215.4(b);


                  (ix)  provisions  which  prohibit  the  issuance  of  standby

marketable  collateral  and/or are  supported by current and complete  financial
information;

                   (x)   provisions  that  directors  first  determine  that the
lending staff has the  expertise  necessary to properly  supervise  construction

involved   before  funds  are   disbursed;

                  (xi)   provisions which prohibit  concentrations  of credit in
excess of 25 percent of the Bank's  total  equity  capital  and  reserves to any
borrower and that borrower's related  interests;

                 (xii)   provisions  which  require  the  preparation  of a loan
"watch list" which shall include relevant  information on all loans in excess of
$10,000 which are classified "Substandard" and "Doubtful" in the Joint Report of
Examination  as of  August  30,  2004,  or by  the  FDIC  or the  Department  in
subsequent  Reports of  Examination  and all other  loans in excess of  $10,000,
which warrant  individual  review and consideration by the board of directors as
determined  by the loan  committee or active  management.  The loan "watch list"
shall be presented to the board of  directors  for review at least  monthly with
such review noted in the minutes;  and

                (xiii)   the board of directors shall adopt  procedures  whereby
officer  compliance with the revised loan policy is monitored and responsibility
for exceptions  thereto assigned.  The procedures  adopted shall be reflected in
minutes of a board of directors meeting at which all members are present and the

shall  develop  and adopt a plan to  control  overhead  and other  expenses  and
