| (a) When the directors have organized as provided in | 6 |
| Section 12 of this
Act, and the capital stock and the preferred | 7 |
| stock, if any, together with a
surplus of not less than 50% of | 8 |

has been all fully paid in and a record of the | 9 |
| same
filed with the Commissioner, the Commissioner or some | 10 |
| competent
person of the Commissioner's appointment shall make a | 11 |
| thorough
examination into the affairs of the proposed bank, and | 12 |
| if satisfied (i)
that
all the requirements of this Act have | 13 |
| been complied with, (ii) that
no
intervening circumstance has | 14 |
| occurred to change the Commissioner's findings
made pursuant to | 15 |
| Section 10 of this Act, and (iii) that the prior involvement
by | 16 |
| any stockholder who will own a sufficient amount of stock to | 17 |
| have control,
as defined in Section 18 of this Act, of the | 18 |
| proposed bank with any other
financial institution, whether as | 19 |
| stockholder, director, officer, or customer,
was conducted in a | 20 |
| safe and sound manner, upon payment into the
Commissioner's | 21 |
| office of the reasonable expenses of the
examination, as | 22 |
| determined by the Commissioner, the Commissioner shall
issue a | 23 |

|
| 1 |
| charter outstanding as of
September 1, 1989, shall be | 2 |
| perpetual. For the 2 years after the Commissioner
has issued a | 3 |
| charter to a bank, the bank shall request and obtain from the
| 4 |
| Commissioner prior written approval before it may change senior | 5 |
| management
personnel or directors.
| 6 |
| The original charter, duly certified by the Commissioner, | 7 |
| or a certified copy
shall be evidence in all courts and places
| 8 |
| of the existence and authority of the bank to do business. Upon | 9 |
| the
issuance of the charter by the Commissioner, the bank
shall | 10 |
| be deemed fully organized and may
proceed to do business. The | 11 |
| Commissioner may, in the Commissioner's
discretion, withhold | 12 |
| the issuing of the charter when the Commissioner has
reason to | 13 |
| believe that the bank is organized for any purpose other than
| 14 |
| that contemplated by this Act. The Commissioner shall
revoke | 15 |
| the charter and order liquidation in the event that the bank | 16 |
| does
not commence a general banking business within one year | 17 |
| from the date of
the issuance of the charter, unless a request | 18 |
| has been submitted, in
writing, to the Commissioner for an | 19 |
| extension and the request has been
approved. After commencing a | 20 |
| general
banking business, a bank may
change
its name by filing | 21 |
| written notice with the Commissioner at least 30 days
prior
to | 22 |
| the effective date of such change. A bank chartered under this | 23 |
| Act may
change its main banking premises by filing written | 24 |
| application with the
Commissioner, on forms prescribed by the | 25 |
| Commissioner, provided (i) the change
shall not be a removal to | 26 |
| a new location without complying with the capital
requirements |

| (ii)
the Commissioner approves the relocation or change; and | 3 |
| (iii) the bank
complies with any applicable federal law or | 4 |
| regulation. The application
shall be deemed to be approved if | 5 |
| the Commissioner has not acted on the
application within 30 | 6 |
| days after receipt of the application, unless within the
30-day | 7 |
| time frame the Commissioner informs the bank that an extension | 8 |
| of time
is
necessary prior to the Commissioner's action on the | 9 |
| application.
| 10 |
| (b) (1) The Commissioner may also issue a charter to a bank | 11 |
| that is owned
exclusively by other depository institutions | 12 |
| or depository institution holding
companies and is | 13 |
| organized to engage exclusively in providing services to or
| 14 |
| for other financial depository institutions, their holding | 15 |
| companies, and the officers,
directors, and employees of | 16 |
| such institutions and companies, and in providing
| 17 |
| correspondent banking services at the request of other | 18 |
| financial depository institutions
or their holding | 19 |
| companies (also referred to as a "bankers' bank"). The bank | 20 |
| may also provide products and services to its officers, | 21 |
| directors, and employees.
| 22 |
| (2) A bank chartered pursuant to paragraph (1) shall, | 23 |
| except as otherwise
specifically determined or limited by | 24 |
| the Commissioner in an order or
pursuant to a rule, be | 25 |
| vested with the same rights
and privileges and subject to | 26 |

and liabilities |

| and an
out-of-state bank that merges with a State bank and | 4 |
| establishes or maintains a
branch in this State after
May 31, | 5 |
| 1997, shall obtain
from and, at all times while it accepts or | 6 |

authorized | 9 |

| 10 |
| (d) (i) A bank that has a banking charter issued by the | 11 |
| Commissioner under
this Act may, pursuant to a written | 12 |
| purchase and assumption agreement,
transfer substantially | 13 |
| all of its assets to another State bank or national
bank in | 14 |
| consideration, in whole or in part, for the transferee | 15 |
| banks'
assumption of any part or all of its liabilities. | 16 |
| Such a transfer shall in
no way be deemed to impair the | 17 |
| charter of the transferor bank or cause the
transferor bank | 18 |
| to forfeit any of its rights, powers, interests,
| 19 |
| franchises, or privileges as a State bank, nor shall any | 20 |
| voluntary
reduction in the transferor bank's activities | 21 |
| resulting from the transfer
have any such effect; provided, | 22 |
| however, that a State bank that transfers
substantially all | 23 |
| of its assets pursuant to this subsection (d) and
following | 24 |
| the transfer does not accept deposits and make loans, shall | 25 |
| not
have any rights, powers, interests, franchises, or | 26 |
| privileges under
subsection (15) of Section 5 of this Act |

making loans for a period of 24 | 5 |

date of the | 6 |
| transfer of substantially all of a State bank's assets, | 7 |

is later, or such longer period as the | 8 |

be the basis for a | 9 |

| (iii) The authority provided by subdivision (i) of this | 12 |

(d) shall terminate on May 31, 1997, and no bank | 13 |

substantially all of its assets | 14 |
