contributed to such capital reserve, and such amounts shall be evidenced by a certificate
issued to the contributor thereof.
(c) Dividends or interest may be paid upon the amounts standing to the credit of each
owner of a proportionate interest in the capital reserve, in accordance with the terms
of the deposit agreement, but in no event shall such dividends or interest be in excess
of the maximum rate paid on shares or accounts of the institution for the same period.
(d) The capital reserve established pursuant to this section shall be used as a guarantee
against losses, contingencies, and impairments of capital, and all losses and expenses
not otherwise absorbed shall be charged against it until such time as the conditions
in section 13202 of this title are met, provided that the amount credited to each contributor shall be reduced only
by the contributor’s proportionate share of such losses or expenses.

the institution.

reserve of the institution shall be transferable, together with any interest or dividends
credited thereon, subject to the conditions and restrictions of this subchapter. (Added 1999, No. 153 (Adj. Sess.), § 2, eff. Jan. 1, 2001.)
