(C) In approving an application for a trust company license, the superintendent may impose any condition the superintendent determines to be appropriate.
(D) When an applicant has satisfied all prior conditions imposed by the superintendent in approving the applicant's application for a trust company license and has pledged securities as required by section 1111.04 of the Revised Code, the superintendent shall issue the applicant a trust company license. A license issued pursuant to this section shall remain in force and effect until surrendered by the licensee pursuant to section 1111.31 of the Revised Code or suspended or revoked by the superintendent pursuant to section 1111.32 of the Revised Code.
