Mutual Acknowledgement. Both the Association and Indemnitee acknowledge that in certain instances, Federal law or public policy may override applicable law and prohibit the Association from indemnifying its directors and officers under this Agreement or otherwise. For example, the Association and Indemnitee acknowledge that the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") has taken the position that indemnification is not permissible for liabilities arising under certain federal securities laws, and federal legislation prohibits indemnification for certain ERISA violations. Indemnitee understands and acknowledges that the Association has undertaken or may be required in the future to undertake with the SEC to submit questions of indemnification to a court in certain circumstances for a determination of the Association's right under public policy to indemnify Indemnitee. Furthermore, Indemnitee and Association acknowledge that the extent of indemnification permissible under Section 204(a)(11) of the California Corporations Code has not been judicially determined; therefore, the enforceability of Indemnitee's rights under Subparagraph (1) is uncertain.
