Finally

By Stephen Chapman, About.com

Definition: The finally statement defines a block of code that will always be run after the completion of the preceding try block. The finally block will always be run even when an error occurs and control is passed to a catch block. The finally block will be run immediately after any catch block. Finally is a reserved word and cannot be used for anything other than declaring a final error handler for a try block.
Examples:
finally {throw e}
