   1. (1) in breach of the person's duty of loyalty to the state savings bank or its depositors, members, or stockholders;
   2. (2) not in good faith or involving a knowing violation of law; or
   3. (3) resulting in receipt by the person of an improper personal benefit.
2. (B) As used in this section, an act or omission in breach of a person's duty of loyalty means one which that person knows or believes to be contrary to the best interests of the state savings bank or its depositors in connection with a matter in which he has a material conflict of interest.
