(6) make distributions to and pay creditors, depositors, shareholders, and members of the association as their interests appear;
(7) from time to time make a ratable liquidation dividend on claims that have been proved to the satisfaction of the association's board of directors or the liquidating agent or that have been adjusted by a court;
