Third Party Actions If the Indemnitee is a person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of the Company) by reason of the fact that he is or was an agent of the Company, or by reason of anything done or not done by him in any such capacity, against any and all expenses and liabilities of any type whatsoever (including, but not limited to, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the investigation, defense, settlement or appeal of such proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful; and
Regulatory Actions The following provisions shall be applicable to the parties to the extent that they are required to be included in employment agreements between a savings bank and its employees pursuant to Section 563.39(b) of the Office of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”) Rules and Regulations, 12 C.F.R. §563.39(b), or any successor thereto, and shall be controlling in the event of a conflict with any other provision of this Agreement, including without limitation Section 5 hereof.
Defense of Third Party Actions If either party hereto (the "Indemnified Party") receives notice or otherwise obtains knowledge of the commencement or threat of any claim, demand, dispute, action, suit, examination, audit, proceeding, investigation, inquiry or other similar matter that may give rise to an indemnification claim against the other party hereto (the "Indemnifying Party"), then the Indemnitee shall promptly deliver to the Indemnified Party a written notice describing such complaint or the commencement of such action or proceeding; provided, however, that the failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from liability under this Agreement with respect to such claim only if, and only to the extent that, such failure to notify the Indemnifying Party results in the forfeiture by the Indemnifying Party of rights and defenses otherwise available to the Indemnifying Party with respect to such claim or the opportunity to defend or participate in the defense of said claim. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, upon written notice delivered to the Indemnified Party within 20 days thereafter to assume the defense of such action or proceeding, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of the fees and disbursements of such counsel. In the event, however, that the Indemnifying Party declines or fails to assume the defense of the action or proceeding or to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, in either case within such 20 day period, then such Indemnified Party may employ counsel, reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party, to represent or defend it in any such action or proceeding and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of such counsel as incurred; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be required to pay the fees and disbursements of more than one counsel for all Indemnified Parties in any jurisdiction in any single action or proceeding. In any action or proceeding with respect to which indemnification is being sought hereunder, the Indemnified Party or the Indemnifying Party, whichever is not assuming the defense of such action, shall have the right to participate in such litigation and to retain its own counsel at such party's own expense. The Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be, shall at all times use all commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be, reasonably apprised of the status of the defense of any action, the defense of which they are maintaining, and to cooperate in good faith with each other with respect to the defense of any such action. No Indemnified Party may settle or compromise any claim or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to which indemnification is being sought hereunder without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Indemnifying Party shall not settle any claim or assertion, unless the Indemnified Party consents in writing to such settlement, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

The Company, IHK and Merger Sub will promptly correct any information provided by them for use in the Schedule 14D-9 that becomes false or misleading in any material respect, and the Company will take all steps necessary to cause the Schedule 14D-9 as so corrected to be filed with the SEC and to be disseminated to holders of shares of Company Common Stock, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable law. IHK and its counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Schedule 14D-9 prior to its filing with the SEC. The Company agrees to provide IHK with any comments that may be received from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Schedule 14D-9 and any amendments thereto, promptly after receipt thereof.
