Such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of his/her heirs, executors and administrators.

The right to indemnification conferred in this Section shall be a contract right and shall include the right to be paid by the Association the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that the payment of such expenses in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding shall be made to or on behalf of a director or officer only upon delivery to the Association of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article or otherwise, which undertaking may be unsecured and may be accepted without reference to financial ability to make repayment.

Section 6.2 Non-exclusive.

The Association may enter into contracts with any director or officer of the Association in furtherance of the provisions of this Article and may create a trust fund, grant a security interest or use other means (including, without limitation, a letter of credit) to ensure the payment of such amounts as may be necessary to effect indemnification as provided in this Article.

Section 6.4 Interim Payments. The Association may, by action of its Board of Directors from time to time, provide indemnification and pay expenses in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding to employees and agents of the Association with the same scope and effect as the provisions of this Article with respect to the indemnification and advancement of expenses of directors and officers of the Association or pursuant to rights granted pursuant to, or provided by, applicable law.
