The Executive further acknowledges and agrees that the Bank shall have no liability whatsoever related to any such personal tax effects or other personal costs, expenses, or liabilities applicable to the Executive and further specifically waives any right for himself or herself, and his or her heirs, beneficiaries, legal representatives, agents, successor and assign to claim or assert liability on the part of the Bank related to the matters described above in this Section 9.13.

Right to Consult with Counsel; No Drafting Party The Executive acknowledges having read and considered all of the provisions of this Agreement carefully, and having had the opportunity to consult with counsel of his own choosing, and, given this, the Executive agrees that the obligations created hereby are not unreasonable. The Executive acknowledges that he has had an opportunity to negotiate any and all of these provisions and no rule of construction shall be used that would interpret any provision in favor of or against a party on the basis of who drafted the Agreement.
Advice to Consult with an Attorney I understand and acknowledge that I am hereby being advised by the Company to consult with an attorney prior to signing this Release and I have done so. My decision whether to sign this Release is my own voluntary decision made with full knowledge that the Company has advised me to consult with an attorney.
Opportunity to Review Securityholder acknowledges receipt of the Merger Agreement and represents that he, she, or it has had (i) the opportunity to review, and has read, reviewed and understands, the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement and this Agreement, and (ii) the opportunity to review and discuss the Merger Agreement, the Transactions and this Agreement with his, her or its own advisors and legal counsel.
Opportunity to Ask Questions You have had the opportunity to ask questions about the Company and the investment. All your questions have been answered to your satisfaction.
Opportunity to Cure Notwithstanding Sections 5.1.2 and 5.1.3, it shall be a condition precedent to a party’s right to terminate Executive’s employment for Cause or Good Reason, as applicable, that (a) such party shall have first given the other party written notice stating with reasonable specificity the breach on which such termination is premised within ninety (90) days after the party providing such notice becomes aware of such breach, and (b) if such breach is susceptible of cure or remedy, such breach has not been cured or remedied within forty-five (45) days after receipt of such notice.
Opportunity to Defend The indemnifying party may elect to compromise or defend, at its own expense and by its own counsel, any Asserted Liability; provided, however, the indemnifying party may not compromise or settle any Asserted Liability without the prior written consent of the indemnified party (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) unless (i) such compromise or settlement requires no more than a monetary payment for which the indemnified party hereunder is fully indemnified and such settlement provides a complete release of, or dismissal with prejudice of, all claims against the indemnified party for all matters that were or could have been asserted in connection with such claim, or (ii) involves no other matters binding upon the indemnified party (other than obligations of confidentiality). If the indemnifying party elects to compromise or defend such Asserted Liability, it will within thirty (30) calendar days from receipt of the Claims Notice notify the indemnified party of its intent to do so, and the indemnified party will cooperate, at the expense of the indemnifying party, in the compromise of, or defense against, such Asserted Liability. If the indemnified party fails to cooperate, then each indemnifying party will be relieved of its obligations under this Section 6 only to the extent that such indemnifying party is prejudiced by such failure to cooperate. Unless and until the indemnifying party elects to defend the Asserted Liability, the indemnified party will have the right, at its option, to do so in such manner as it deems appropriate; provided, however, that the indemnified party will not settle or compromise any Asserted Liability for which it seeks indemnification hereunder without the prior written consent of the indemnifying party (which will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in (but not to control) the defense of any Asserted Liability that it has elected not to defend with its own counsel and at its own expense.
