Indemnification Procedure. If the Party to be indemnified intends to claim indemnification under this Clause 12, ​.

Claim Procedure. If an Employee or former Employee makes a written request alleging a right to receive benefits under this Plan or alleging a right to receive an adjustment in benefits being paid under the Plan, the Committee shall treat it as a claim for benefit. All claims for benefit under the Plan shall be sent to the Committee and must be received within 30 days after termination of employment. If the Committee determines that any individual who has claimed a right to receive benefits, or different benefits, under the Plan is not entitled to receive all or any part of the benefits claimed, it will inform the claimant in writing of its determination and the reasons therefor in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant. The notice will be sent within 60 days of the claim. The notice shall make specific reference to the reasons for denial and pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is based, and describe any additional material or information necessary for the claim to succeed and a description of why it is necessary. Such notice shall, in addition, inform the claimant what procedure the claimant should follow to take advantage of the review procedures set forth below in the event the claimant desires to contest the denial of the claim. The claimant may within 90 days thereafter submit in writing to the Committee a notice that the claimant contests the denial of his claim by the Committee and desires a further review. The Committee shall within 60 days thereafter review the claim and authorize the claimant to appear personally and review pertinent documents and submit issues and comments relating to the claim to the persons responsible for making the determination on behalf of the Committee. The Committee will render its final decision with specific reasons therefor and in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant, and will transmit it to the claimant within 60 days of the written request for review. If the Committee fails to respond to a claim filed in accordance with the foregoing within 60 days, the Committee shall be deemed to have denied the claim. This [Section 7.5] shall not serve to prohibit any Participant from bringing an action in a court of competent jurisdiction to enforce his rights under the Plan after satisfaction of the foregoing procedures. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the claims and appeals procedure provided for in this [Section 7.5] will be provided for the use and benefit of Participants who may choose to use such procedures, but compliance with the provisions of these claims and appeals procedures will not be mandatory for any Participant claiming benefits after a Change in Control. It will not be necessary for any Participant to exhaust these procedures and remedies after a Change in Control prior to bringing any legal claim or action, or asserting any other demand, for payments or other benefits to which such participant claims entitlement.

Review Procedure. If the Plan Administrator denies part or all of the claim, the claimant shall have the opportunity for a full and fair review by the Plan Administrator of the denial, as follows:

Review Procedure. Within 60 days (180 days in the case of a claim regarding Disability) after the date on which a person receives a written notification of denial of claim (or, if written notification is not provided, within 60 days (180 days in the case of a claim regarding Disability) of the date denial is considered to have occurred), such person (or his or her duly authorized representative) may # file a written request with the Administrator for a review of his or her denied claim and of pertinent documents and # submit written issues and comments to the Administrator. The Administrator will notify such person of its decision in writing. Such notification will be written in a manner calculated to be understood by such person and will contain specific reasons for the decision as well as specific references to pertinent Plan provisions. The notification will explain that the person is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to and copies of all pertinent documents and has the right to bring a civil action following an adverse decision on review. The decision on review will be made within 60 days (45 days in the case of a claim regarding Disability). The Administrator may extend the period for making the decision on review by 60 days (45 days in the case of a claim regarding Disability) if special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the request such as an election by the Administrator to hold a hearing, and if written notice of such extension and circumstances is given to such person within the initial 60-day period (45 days in the case of a claim regarding Disability). If the decision on review is not made within such period, the claim will be considered denied.

Transfer Procedure. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.3 and upon providing the Company with written notice, Holder may transfer all or part of this Warrant or the Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant to any transferee; provided that in connection with any such transfer, Holder will give the Company notice of the portion of the Warrant and/or Shares being transferred with the name, address and taxpayer identification number of the transferee, and Holder will surrender this Warrant, or the certificates or other evidence of such Shares or other securities, to the Company for reissuance to the transferee(s) (and to Holder if applicable); and provided further, that any transferee shall make substantially the representations set forth in Section 5.1 above and shall agree in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Warrant.

Review Procedure. If the Claimant is determined by the Bank not to be eligible for benefit, or if the Claimant believes that he or she is entitled to greater or different benefits, the Claimant shall have the opportunity to have such claim reviewed by the Bank by filing a petition for review with the Bank within sixty (60) days after receipt of the notice issued by the Bank. Said petition shall state the specific reasons which the Claimant believes entitle him or her to benefits or to greater or different benefits. Within sixty (60) days after receipt by the Bank of the petition, the Bank shall afford the Claimant (and counsel, if any) an opportunity to present his of her position to the Bank verbally or in writing, and the Claimant (or counsel) shall have the tight to review the pertinent documents. The Bank shall notify the Claimant of its decision in writing within the 60-day period stating specifically the basis of its decision, written in a manner calculated to be understood by the Claimant and the specific provisions of the Agreement on which the decision is based. If, because of the need for a hearing, the 60- day period is not sufficient, the decision may be deferred for up to another sixty (60) days at the election of the Bank, but notice of this deferral shall be given to the Claimant.

ELECTION PROCEDURE. An Eligible Director wishing to participate in this Plan must file a written notice on the Notice of Election form electing to defer payment for a Plan Year of all or a portion of his or her Fees as a Director (“Election”). Any such Election must be filed prior to the first day of the Plan Year in which the Director’s annual service period begins and shall be effective only with respect to Fees earned after the end of the Plan Year in which the Election is filed. If, however, the Election is with respect to the first year a Director is eligible to participate in this Plan, the Committee may permit a Director to make the Election within thirty (30) days after the date on which the Director is first eligible; provided, however, any such Election will only apply with respect to Fees earned after the effective date of the Election. Any such Election will continue in effect until the Director modifies or terminates such Election effective as of the beginning of a subsequent Plan Year. An effective Election may be terminated or modified for any subsequent Plan Year by filing either a new Notice of Election form to effect modifications, or a Notice of Termination form to effect terminations, on or before the December 31st immediately preceding the Plan Year for which such modification or termination is to become effective. An Election shall not be effective until receipt of the fully and properly completed Notice of Election form by the Secretary of the Company. A fully and properly completed Notice of Election form must indicate: # the percentage of Fees to be deferred; # manner of payment upon distribution; # payment commencement date; and # deemed investment election. Once effective for a Plan Year, an Election is irrevocable and may not be changed for that Plan Year. No subsequent election may change the manner of payment, the payment commencement date or the deemed investment of the Fees previously deferred. An Election shall apply to Fees payable with respect to each subsequent Plan Year, unless terminated or modified as described herein. A person for whom an effective Election is terminated may thereafter file a new Notice of Election form, in the manner described above, for future Plan Years for which he or she is eligible to participate in this Plan.

Procedure for Exercise. Subject to this Agreement and the Plan, the Option may be exercised in whole or in part by the transmittal of a written notice to the Company at its principal place of business. Such notice shall specify the number of shares of Stock which the Grantee elects to purchase, shall be signed by the Grantee and shall be accompanied by payment of the Option Price for the shares of Stock which the Grantee elects to purchase. Except as otherwise provided by the Committee before the Option is exercised, such payment may be made in whole or in part # in cash or cash equivalents acceptable to the Company in the amount of the Option Price plus applicable tax withholding; # by the tender or attestation to the Company of shares of Stock owned by the Grantee which, if acquired from the Company, have been owned for at least six months and acceptable to the Committee having an aggregate Fair Market Value (valued on the date of exercise) that is equal to the amount of cash that would otherwise be required for payment; or # by authorizing a Company-approved third party to remit to the Company a sufficient portion of the sale proceeds to pay the entire Option Price and any tax withholding from such exercise. The Option shall not be exercisable if and to the extent the Company determines that such exercise would violate any provision of Applicable Laws, including applicable state or federal securities laws or the rules of any Stock Exchange on which the Stock is listed. If any Applicable Laws require the Company to take any action with respect to the shares of Stock specified in the written notice of exercise, or if any action remains to be taken under the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company, as in effect at the time, to effect due issuance of such shares, then the Company shall take such action and the day for delivery of such shares shall be extended for the period necessary to take such action. No Grantee shall have any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company under the Option unless and until shares of Stock are fully paid and duly issued upon exercise of the Option.
