the sum of the state | 6 |
| bank's Tier 1 Capital and Tier 2 Capital plus such other
| 7 |
| shareholder equity as may be included by
regulation of the | 8 |
| Commissioner. Unimpaired capital and unimpaired surplus
shall | 9 |
| be calculated on the basis of the date of the last quarterly | 10 |
| call report
filed with the Commissioner preceding the date of | 11 |
| the transaction for which the
calculation is made, provided | 12 |
| that: (i) when a material event occurs after the
date of the | 13 |
| last quarterly call report filed with the Commissioner that | 14 |
| reduces
or increases the bank's unimpaired capital and | 15 |
| unimpaired surplus by 10% or
more, then the unimpaired capital | 16 |
| and unimpaired surplus shall be calculated
from the date of the | 17 |
| material
event for a transaction conducted after the date of | 18 |
| the material event; and
(ii) if the Commissioner determines for | 19 |
| safety and soundness reasons that a
state bank should calculate | 20 |
| unimpaired capital and unimpaired surplus more
frequently than | 21 |
| provided by this paragraph, the Commissioner may by written
| 22 |
| notice direct the bank to calculate unimpaired capital and | 23 |
| unimpaired surplus
at a more frequent interval. In the case of | 24 |
| a state bank newly chartered under
Section 13 or a state bank | 25 |
| resulting from a merger, consolidation, or
conversion under | 26 |

| examination made by the eligible State bank's appropriate | 3 |
| federal banking
agency pursuant to Section 111 of the Federal | 4 |

| 10 |
| borne by the out-of-state bank, unless the fees are borne by | 11 |
| the state
regulatory authority that chartered the out-of-state | 12 |
| bank, as determined by a
cooperative agreement between the | 13 |
| Commissioner and the state regulatory
authority that chartered | 14 |
| the out-of-state bank.
| 15 |
| (2.5) Whenever any State bank, any subsidiary or affiliate | 16 |
| of a State
bank, or after May 31, 1997, any branch of an | 17 |
| out-of-state bank causes to
be performed, by contract or | 18 |
| otherwise, any bank services
for itself, whether on or off its | 19 |
| premises:
| 20 |
| (a) that performance shall be subject to examination by | 21 |
| the Commissioner
to the same extent as if services were | 22 |
| being performed by the bank or, after
May 31, 1997, branch | 23 |
| of the out-of-state bank itself
on its own premises; and
| 24 |

| fees
provided in this Section by an electronic transfer of | 13 |
| funds or an automatic
debit of an account of each of the | 14 |
| State banks. In case more than one
examination of any
bank | 15 |
| is deemed by the Secretary Commissioner to be necessary in | 16 |
| any examination
frequency cycle specified in subsection | 17 |
| 2(a) of this Section,
and is performed at his direction, | 18 |
| the Secretary Commissioner may
assess a reasonable | 19 |

| 20 |
| examination; provided, however, that an examination | 21 |
| conducted at the request
of the State Treasurer pursuant to | 22 |
| the Uniform Disposition of Unclaimed
Property Act shall not | 23 |
| be deemed to be an additional examination under this
| 24 |
| Section.
In lieu
of the method and amounts set forth in | 25 |
| this paragraph (a) for the calculation
of the Call Report | 26 |

appears likely, the Commissioner may | 8 |
| assign an examiner or examiners to
monitor the affairs of a | 9 |
| State bank with whatever frequency he deems
appropriate, | 10 |
| including but not limited to a daily basis. The reasonable
| 11 |
| and necessary expenses of the Commissioner during the | 12 |
| period of the monitoring
shall be borne by the subject | 13 |
| bank. The Commissioner shall furnish the
State bank a | 14 |

| (b) "Fiscal year" for purposes of this Section 48 is | 11 |
| defined as a
period beginning July 1 of any year and ending | 12 |
| June 30 of the next year.
The Commissioner shall receive | 13 |
| for each fiscal year, commencing with the
fiscal year | 14 |
| ending June 30, 1987, a contingent fee equal to the lesser | 15 |
| of
the aggregate of the fees paid by all State banks under | 16 |
| paragraph (a) of
subsection (3) for that year, or the | 17 |
| amount, if any, whereby the aggregate
of the administration | 18 |

| 20 |
| State banks for that year under paragraph (a) of subsection | 21 |

| arrived at for any fiscal year shall be apportioned | 5 |
| amongst,
assessed upon, and paid by the State banks and | 6 |
| foreign banking corporations,
respectively, in the same | 7 |
| proportion
that the fee of each under paragraph (a) of | 8 |
| subsection (3), respectively,
for that year bears to the | 9 |
| aggregate for that year of the fees collected
under | 10 |
| paragraph (a) of subsection (3). The aggregate amount of | 11 |
| the
contingent fee, and the portion thereof to be assessed | 12 |

| Trust
Company Fund to permit the timely payment of | 8 |
| administration expenses. In
each fiscal year the total | 9 |
| administration expenses shall be deducted from
the total | 10 |
| fees collected by the Commissioner and the remainder | 11 |
| transferred
into the Cash Flow Reserve Account, unless the | 12 |
| balance of the Cash Flow
Reserve Account prior to the | 13 |
| transfer equals or exceeds
one-fourth of the total initial | 14 |
| appropriations from the Bank and Trust
Company Fund for the | 15 |
| subsequent year, in which case the remainder shall be

| corporation
shall be in the same proportion as the
Call | 20 |
| Report Fees paid by each for the year bear to the total | 21 |
| Call Report
Fees collected for the year. If, after a | 22 |
| transfer to the Cash Flow Reserve
Account is made or if no | 23 |
| remainder is available for transfer, the balance
of the | 24 |
| Cash Flow Reserve Account is less than one-fourth of the | 25 |
| total
initial appropriations for the subsequent year and | 26 |
| the amount transferred
is less than 5% of the total Call |

in | 5 |
| the same proportion that the Call Report Fees of each,
| 6 |
| respectively, for the year bear to the total Call Report | 7 |

receivership fees provided for in Section 5-10 | 12 |
| of the Corporate Fiduciary Act.
