of a statement or statements from the Indemnitee requesting such advance or
advances from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of such
Proceeding. Such statement or Statements shall reasonably evidence the expenses
incurred by the Indemnitee and, if required by law at the time of such advance,
shall include or be accompanied by an undertaking by or on behalf of the
Indemnitee to repay the amounts advanced if, and to the extent, it should
ultimately be determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified
against such expenses.

         (b) Written Request for Indemnification. To obtain indemnification
under this Article VII, an Indemnitee shall submit to the Secretary of the Bank
a written request, including such documentation and information as is reasonably
available to the Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to determine whether and to
what extent the Indemnitee is entitled to Indemnification (the "Supporting
Documentation"). The determination of the Indemnitee's entitlement to
indemnification shall be made within a reasonable time after receipt by the Bank
of the written request for indemnification together with the Supporting
Documentation. The Secretary of the Bank shall, promptly upon receipt of such a
request for indemnification, advise the Board in writing that the Indemnitee has
requested indemnification.

         (c) Procedure for Determination. The Indemnitee's entitlement to
indemnification under this Article VII shall be determined (i) by the Board by a
majority vote of a quorum (as defined in Article II of these By-laws) consisting
of directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or (ii)

issue of entitlement to indemnification to the stockholders for their
determination
