good faith effort to apply the substantive law (and the law of remedies, if applicable) of the state of California, or federal law, or both, as applicable, without reference to its conflicts of laws provisions, but an arbitration decision shall not
be subject to review because of errors of law. The arbitrator is without jurisdiction to apply any different substantive law. The arbitrator shall have the authority to hear and rule on dispositive motions (such as motions for summary adjudication
or summary judgment). The arbitrator shall have the powers granted by California law and the rules of JAMS which conducts the arbitration, except as modified or limited herein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the rules of JAMS, the
arbitration shall provide (i)&nbsp;for written discovery and depositions as provided under California law, and (ii)&nbsp;for a written decision by the arbitrator that includes the essential findings and conclusions upon which the decision is based
which shall be issued no later than thirty (30)&nbsp;days after a dispositive motion is heard and/or an arbitration hearing has completed. The Bank shall pay all fees and administrative costs charged by the arbitrator and JAMS. The Executive and the

the State of California (including but not limited to all applicable privileges), and the award of the arbitrator must follow California and/or federal law, as applicable. The arbitrator shall be selected by the mutual agreement of the parties. If
the parties cannot agree on an arbitrator, the parties shall alternately strike names from a list provided by JAMS until only one name remains. The decision of the arbitrator will be final, conclusive, and binding on the parties to the arbitration.
The prevailing party in the arbitration, as determined by the arbitrator, shall be entitled to recover his/her or its reasonable attorneys; fees and costs, including the costs or fees charged by the arbitrator and JAMS to the extent allowed by law.

California, in accordance with the JAMS rules for resolution of employment disputes then in effect, except as provided herein. The rules can be found online at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-employment-arbitration/#one. The arbitrator selected shall
have the authority to grant any party all remedies otherwise available by law, including injunctions, but shall not have the power to grant any remedy that would not be available in a state or federal court in California. The arbitrator shall make a
good faith effort to apply the substantive law (and the law of remedies, if applicable) of the </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">state of California, or federal law, or both, as
applicable, without reference to its conflicts of laws provisions, but an arbitration decision shall not be subject to review because of errors of law. The arbitrator is without jurisdiction to apply any different substantive law. The arbitrator
shall have the authority to hear and rule on dispositive motions (such as motions for summary adjudication or summary judgment). The arbitrator shall have the powers granted by California law and the rules of JAMS which conducts the arbitration,
except as modified or limited herein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the rules of JAMS, the arbitration shall provide (i)&nbsp;for written discovery and depositions as provided under California law, and (ii)&nbsp;for a written decision
by the arbitrator that </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">includes the essential findings and conclusions upon which the decision is based which shall be issued no later than thirty
(30)&nbsp;days after a dispositive motion is heard and/or an arbitration hearing has completed. The Bank shall pay all fees and administrative costs charged by the arbitrator and JAMS. The Executive and the Bank shall have the same amount of time to
file any claim against any other party as such party would have if such a claim had been filed in state or federal court. In conducting the arbitration, the arbitrator shall follow the rules of evidence of the State of California (including but not
limited to all applicable privileges), and the award of the arbitrator must follow California and/or federal law, as applicable. The arbitrator shall be selected by the mutual agreement of the parties. If the parties cannot agree on an arbitrator,
the parties shall alternately strike names from a list provided by JAMS until only one name remains. The decision of the arbitrator will be final, conclusive, and binding on the parties to the arbitration. The prevailing party in the arbitration, as
determined by the arbitrator, shall be entitled to recover his/her or its reasonable attorneys; fees and costs, including the costs or fees charged by the arbitrator and JAMS to the extent allowed by law. Judgment may be entered on the
arbitrator&#146;s decision in any court having jurisdiction. </P> <P STYLE="font-size:18pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P>
