the Bank verbally or in writing, and the Claimant (or counsel) shall have the
right 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
