(3) The association shall be entitled to receive, to the extent of the amount paid or payable by the association by reason of a covered claim, any amount recoverable by the receiver or the insolvent insurer by way of right of indemnification from the catastrophic claims association created in section 3104.
(4) The association shall be entitled to any option to take possession of, right of salvage in, or other right to proceeds from the sale or disposition of insured property which is the subject matter of a covered claim, to which the insolvent insurer would have been entitled had it paid the claim.
