Notwithstanding subsection (a), a bank holding company assessed under

consultation with the appropriate Federal banking agency, where 
applicable, determines that, upon the repayment of all of such

        Secretary as a result of the Secretary's exercise of a warrant 
        received by the Secretary pursuant to section 113(d)(1)(B), the
