107. A financial services cooperative shall assume the defence of its officers and managers, and of persons who have acted in that capacity for the cooperative, who are prosecuted by a third person for an act done in the performance of their duties and shall pay any injury resulting from that act, unless they have committed a gross negligence or a personal fault separable from the performance of their duties.
In penal or criminal proceedings, however, the cooperative shall assume payment of the expenses of its officers and managers, and of persons who have acted in that capacity for the cooperative, only where they had reasonable grounds to believe that their conduct was in conformity with the law or where they have been discharged or acquitted, or where the proceedings have been withdrawn or dismissed.
