Such corporation may not loan its funds, moneys, capital, trust funds, or any other property 
whatsoever to any director, officer, agent, or other employee thereof, nor may any such director, 
officer, agent, or other employee become in any manner indebted to said corporation by means 
of any overdraft, promissory note, account, endorsement, guaranty, or other contract 
whatsoever unless such indebtedness has been approved or authorized first by the board of 
directors, or an investment committee created by it, and such approval entered in the minutes of 
the proceedings of such board or committee. Any such director, agent, or employee who 
becomes indebted to said company, contrary to the provisions hereof, is guilty of the crime of 

theft to the amount of such indebtedness from the time such indebtedness was created and 
must be punished in the manner prescribed by section 12.1 -23-05. The execution and delivery 
of the official bond of such officer, agent, or employee, or that person's endorsement of 
commercial paper, however, may not be considered as an indebtedness for the purpose of this 
section.
