The Secretary may take possession and control of a savings bank and its assets by posting upon the premises a notice reciting that the Secretary is assuming possession pursuant to this Act and the time when his or her possession shall be deemed to commence, which time shall not pre-date the posting of the notice. Promptly after taking possession and control of a  savings bank, if the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation is not appointed as receiver, the Secretary shall file a copy of the notice posted upon the premises in the circuit court in the county in which the savings bank is located, and thereupon the clerk of such court shall note the filing of the notice upon the records of the court, and shall enter such cause as a court action upon the dockets of such court under the name and style of "In the matter of the possession and control of the Secretary of (insert the name of such savings bank)", and thereupon the court wherein the cause is docketed shall be vested with jurisdiction to hear and determine all issues and matters pertaining to or connected with the Secretary's possession and control of the savings bank as provided in this Act, and such further issues and matters pertaining to or connected with the Secretary's possession and control as may be submitted to the court for its adjudication by the Secretary. When the Secretary has taken possession and control of a savings bank and its assets, then he or she shall be vested with the full powers of management and control, including without limitation the following:(1) the power to continue or to discontinue the     business;(2) the power to stop or to limit the payment of its     obligations; provided, however with respect to a qualified financial contract between any party and a savings bank or a branch or agency of which the Secretary has taken possession and control, which party has a perfected security interest in collateral or other valid lien or security interest in collateral enforceable against third parties pursuant to a security arrangement related to that qualified financial contract, the party may retain all of the collateral and upon repudiation or termination of that qualified financial contract in accordance with its terms apply the collateral in satisfaction of any claims secured by the collateral; in no event shall the total amount so applied exceed the global net payment obligation, if any;(3) the power to collect and to use its assets and to     give valid receipts and acquittances therefore;(4) the power to employ and to pay any necessary     assistants;(5) the power to execute any instrument in the name     of the savings bank;(6) the power to commence, defend, and conduct in its     name any action or proceeding in which it may be a party;(7) the power, upon the order of the court, to sell     and convey its assets in whole or in part, and to sell or compound bad or doubtful debts upon terms and conditions as may be fixed in such order;(8) the power, upon the order of the court, to make     and to carry out agreements with other  savings banks or with the United States or any agency thereof that shall insure the savings bank's deposits, in whole or in part, for the payment or assumption of the  savings bank's liabilities, in whole or in part, and to transfer assets and to make guaranties, in whole or in part, and to transfer assets and to make guaranties in connection therewith;(9) the power, upon the order of the court, to borrow     money in the name of the savings bank and to pledge its assets as security for the loan;(10) the power to terminate his or her possession and     control by restoring the savings bank to its board of directors;(11) the power to reorganize the savings bank as     provided in this Act;(12) the power to appoint a receiver and to order     liquidation of the savings bank as provided in this Act; and(13) the power, upon the order of the court and     without the appointment of a receiver, to determine that the savings bank has been closed for the purpose of liquidation without adequate provision being made for payment of its depositors, and thereupon the savings bank shall be deemed to have been closed on account of inability to meet the demands of its depositors.As soon as practical after taking possession, the Secretary shall make his or her examination of the condition of the savings bank and an inventory of the assets. Unless the time shall be extended by order of the court, and unless the Secretary shall have otherwise settled the affairs of a savings bank pursuant to the provisions of this Act, at the termination of 30 days from the time of taking possession and control of a savings bank for the purpose of examination, reorganization or liquidation through receivership, the Secretary shall either terminate his or her possession and control by restoring the savings bank to its board of directors or appoint a receiver and order the liquidation of the savings bank as provided in this Act. All necessary and reasonable expenses of the Secretary's possession and control and of its reorganization shall be borne by the savings bank and may be paid by the Secretary from its assets. If the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation is appointed by the Secretary as receiver of a savings bank, or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation takes possession of the savings bank, the receivership proceedings and the powers and duties of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation shall be governed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and regulations promulgated under that Act rather than the provisions of this Act.
