If the Commissioner disapproves an agreement he shall state his objections and give an opportunity to the merging banks to amend the merger agreement to obviate such objections. (4) The Commissioner may impose such terms and conditions on the approval of the merger agreement as he deems necessary or appropriate. (5) If the Commissioner approves a merger agreement, he may revoke that approval if the merger has not been approved by the shareholders in accordance with Section 23 within 180 days after the date of the Commissioner's approval, unless a request has been submitted, in writing, to the Commissioner for an extension and the request has been approved. (6) The board of directors of a bank or insured savings association is under a continuing obligation until the Commissioner takes action on the application to furnish additional information if there are any material changes in circumstances after the merger agreement has been submitted which may affect the Commissioner's opinions and findings.
