        536A.12  CONTINUING LICENSE -- ANNUAL FEE -- CHANGE OF      NAME OR LOCATION -- CHANGE OF CONTROL.         1.  Each license remains in full force and effect until      surrendered, revoked, or suspended, or until there is a change of      control.         2.  A licensee, on or before December 1, shall pay to the      superintendent the sum of two hundred fifty dollars as an annual      license fee for the succeeding calendar year.  The licensee shall      submit the annual license fee with a renewal application in the form      prescribed by the superintendent.  The superintendent may assess a      late fee of ten dollars per day per license for applications received      after December 1.         3.  When a licensee changes its name or place of business from one      location to another in the same city, the licensee shall notify the      superintendent thirty days in advance of the effective date of the      change.  A licensee shall pay a fee of twenty-five dollars per      license to the superintendent with the notification of change.         4. a.  A person who proposes to purchase or otherwise acquire,      directly or indirectly, any of the outstanding shares of an      industrial loan company which would result in a change of control of      the industrial loan company, shall first apply in writing to the      superintendent for a certificate of approval for the proposed change      of control.         b.  At the time of making the application, the applicant shall      pay to the superintendent one hundred dollars to cover the cost of      the investigation of the applicant.         c.  The superintendent shall grant the certificate if the      superintendent is satisfied of both of the following:         (1)  The person who proposes to obtain control of the industrial      loan company is qualified by character, experience, and financial      responsibility to control and operate the industrial loan company in      a sound and legal manner.         (2)  The interests of the thrift certificate holders, creditors,      and shareholders of the industrial loan company, and of the public      generally, will not be jeopardized by the proposed change of control.         d.  If a board member of the industrial loan company has      reason to believe any of the requirements of this subsection have not      been met, the board member shall promptly report the facts in writing      to the superintendent.         e.  If there is any doubt as to whether a change in the      ownership of the outstanding shares is sufficient to result in      control of the industrial loan company, or to effect a change in the      control of the industrial loan company, the doubt shall be resolved      in favor of reporting the facts to the superintendent.         5. a.  For purposes of this section, a change of control does      not occur when a majority shareholder of an industrial loan company      transfers the shareholder's shares of the industrial loan company to      a revocable trust, so long as the transferor retains the power to      revoke the trust and take possession of the shares.         b.  Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph "a", a      change of control is deemed to occur two years after the death of the      majority shareholder, whether the shareholder's shares of the      industrial loan company are held in a revocable trust or otherwise.
