(a) the board of directors determines that a higher limit is consistent with prudent, safe, and sound banking practices in light of the bank's experience in lending to officers, directors, and principal shareholders and is necessary to attract or retain directors or to prevent restricting the availability of credit in small communities;
(b) the resolution sets forth the facts and reasoning on which the board of directors bases the finding, including the amount of the bank's lending to officers, directors, and principal shareholders as a percentage of the bank's unimpaired capital and unimpaired surplus as of the date of the resolution;
(c) the bank has submitted the resolution to the department; and
(d) the bank meets or exceeds, on a fully phased-in basis, all applicable capital requirements established by the department.
