The director shall limit a bank's investments in any one project and a bank's aggregate investments under this section. A bank's aggregate investments under this section may not exceed an amount equal to the sum of five percent of the bank's capital, surplus, and undivided profits, unless the director determines by order that the higher amount will not pose a significant risk to the bank and the bank is adequately capitalized. In no case may a bank's aggregate investments under this section exceed an amount equal to the sum of ten percent of the bank's capital stock actually paid in and unimpaired and ten percent of the bank's unimpaired surplus fund.
