(D) To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of the Association has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in paragraphs (B) and (C) of this Article, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.
(E) Any indemnification under paragraphs (B) and (C) of this Article (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Association only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth therein. Such determination shall be made (1) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum (as directed in the bylaws of the Association) consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or (2) if such quorum is not obtainable, or even if obtainable a quorum of disinterested directors so elects, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (3) by the shareholders.
(F) Expenses incurred by an officer or director in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the Association in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Association as authorized in this Article. Such expenses incurred by other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Board of Directors deems appropriate.
(G) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by or granted pursuant to this Article shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any statute, bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office.
(H) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by or granted pursuant to this Article shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.
(I) By action of its Board of Directors, notwithstanding any interest of the directors in the action, the Association may purchase and maintain insurance, in such amounts as the Board of Directors deems appropriate, on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Association, or of any association a majority of the voting stock of which is owned by the Association, or is or was serving at the request of the Association as a director, officer, employee or agent of another association, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Association would have the power or would be required to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of this Article or any other applicable law; provided, however, that such insurance shall exclude coverage for a formal order assessing civil money penalties against a director, officer, employee or agent of the Association.
(J) The term director as used herein shall include persons serving as advisory directors, senior directors or directors emeritus or any other similar advisory capacity to the Board of Directors of the Association.
(K) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, the Association shall not indemnify directors, officers or employees against expenses, penalties or other payments incurred in an administrative proceeding or action instituted by an appropriate Bank regulatory agency, which proceeding or action results in a final order assessing civil money penalties or requiring affirmative action by an individual or individuals in the form of payments to the Association; provided, however that the Association shall advance expenses to a director, officer or employee incurred in connection with the defense of any such action if:
