subsection (a) of this section, the State Bank Commissioner shall, by order effective no earlier than 10 nor later than 30 days after issuance,
revoke such corporation's authority to transact business in this State. Upon the effective date of such order, and so long as such order has
not been suspended or set aside pursuant to subsection (c) of this section or withdrawn by the State Bank Commissioner, such corporation
shall cease all business activity of any kind in this State, but shall maintain a registered office in this State for the purpose of accepting
service of legal process.
(c) The Court of Chancery of the State shall have exclusive original jurisdiction of any judicial review of an order issued under
subsection (b) of this section, any other provision of law notwithstanding. Such review may be sought by the corporation affected at any
time within 1 year of the date of such order. Review of such order shall be de novo and such order will be specifically enforced by the
Court of Chancery upon a final determination that at the time of its issuance the order was valid in all respects. The Court of Chancery
may, in the exercise of its equitable jurisdiction in appropriate cases, suspend the operation of an order issued under subsection (b) of this
section while judicial review of such order proceeds. An order issued under subsection (a) of this section shall not be subject to judicial
review.
