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(i), and not as a matter of contract law.

10

 

(iii)                               tracking and identification of exceptions for loans outside the Bank’s trade area that would require loan committee approval; and

 

(iv)                              established limits on the size and complexity of new loans commensurate with the Bank’s level of expertise and ability to manage;

(c)                                  procedures to ensure that loans are properly monitored to include periodic receipt, analysis and documentation of sufficient financial and operating information to measure and monitor the borrower’s and guarantor’s financial condition and repayment ability, to include periodic (at least annually) cash flow analysis of income-producing collateral; and
