(1) The person in whose name the deposit account, stock deposit account, property, or safe deposit box is held by the association, or;

(2) An individual or group of individuals who are authorized to draw upon or control the deposit account, stock deposit account, property, or safe deposit box pursuant to a certified resolution of a corporation or unincorporated association, currently on file with the association which has not been revoked to the actual knowledge of the association and is not the subject of a dispute actually known to the association as to its original validity.

(2) To deliver to the association a bond, in form and in amount and with sureties satisfactory to the association, indemnifying the association against any liability, loss or expense which it might incur because of its recognition of the adverse claim or because of its refusal by reason of such claim to honor any application for withdrawal, or to deliver any property to or permit access to a safe deposit box by anyone described in division (A)(1) or (A)(2) of this section.
