The commissioner shall not approve any loan for the purposes of this act unless he shall be satisfied that the funds required for the retirement of preferred stock cannot be obtained by the issuance of preferred stock or common stock without undue hardship, cost or disadvantage to the bank or its stockholders. Any loan or loans made pursuant to this act shall be evidenced by debentures or capital notes which shall have such maturities, and, shall contain such terms, covenants and conditions as the Commissioner of Banking and Insurance may approve, within the provisions of this act.
