(b) Exceptions—(1) Change in condition. If, in good faith, a national bank believes that there has been a change in condition that threatens its financial position by increasing its exposure to loss, then the bank may:
- (i) Take reasonable and appropriate action, including the actions specified in § 23.2(f), to salvage or protect the value of the leased property or its interests arising under the lease; and
- (ii) Acquire or perfect title to the leased property pursuant to any existing rights.
- (2) Provisions to protect the bank's interests. A national bank may include any provision in a lease, or make any additional agreement, to protect its financial position or investment in the event of a change in conditions that would increase its exposure to loss.
- (3) Arranging for services by a third party. A national bank may arrange for a third party to provide any of the services enumerated in § 23.2(f) to the lessee at the expense of the lessee.
