The secretary shall take an oath faithfully to perform the duties of his office.

None of the provisions herein shall prevent a person from serving as an official of an insurer if he/she holds office as director of the financial holding company or the depository institution with which said insurer has a direct or indirect relationship as owner, subsidiary or affiliate, provided said relationship complies with the applicable provisions and requirements of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act.
