Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
A.  Every transfer made or suffered to be made and every
obligation incurred by an insurer within one (1) year prior to the
filing of a successful petition for rehabilitation or liquidation
under the Insurance Code is fraudulent as to then existing and
future creditors if made or incurred without fair consideration or
with actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud either existing or
future creditors.  A transfer made or an obligation incurred by an
insurer ordered to be rehabilitated or liquidated under the
Insurance Code, which is fraudulent under this section, may be

avoided by the receiver, except as to a person who in good faith is
a purchaser, lienor, or obligee for a present fair equivalent value,
and except that any purchaser, lienor or obligee, who in good faith
has given a consideration less than fair for such transfer, lien, or
obligation, may retain the property, lien or obligation as security
for repayment.  The court may, on due notice, order any such
transfer or obligation to be preserved for the benefit of the
estate, and in that event, the receiver shall succeed to and may
enforce the rights of the purchaser, lienor, or obligee.
B.  Every director, officer, employee, stockholder, member,
agent, subscriber, and any other person acting on behalf of such
insurer who shall be concerned in any such act or deed and every
person receiving thereby any property of such insurer or the benefit
thereof shall be personally liable therefor and shall be bound to
account to the Insurance Commissioner.
C.  The Insurance Commissioner as receiver in any proceeding
under this article may avoid any transfer of or lien upon the
property of an insurer which any creditor, stockholder, subscriber
or member of such insurer might have avoided and may recover the
property so transferred unless such person was a bona fide holder
for value prior to the date of the granting of an order to show
cause under this article.  Such property or its value may be
recovered from anyone who has received it except a bona fide holder
for value as herein specified.
D.  Any transaction of the insurer with a reinsurer shall be
deemed fraudulent and may be avoided by the receiver under this
section if:
1.  The transaction consists of the termination, adjustment or
settlement of a reinsurance contract in which the reinsurer is
released from any part of its duty to pay the originally specified
share of losses that had occurred prior to the time of the
transactions, unless the reinsurer gives a present fair equivalent
value for the release; and
2.  Any part of the transaction took place within one (1) year
prior to the date of filing of the petition through which the
receivership was commenced.
E.  Notwithstanding subsection A of this section, or any other
provision of this chapter, no receiver shall avoid any transfer of,
or any obligation to transfer, money or any other property arising
under or in connection with any Federal Home Loan Bank security
agreement, or any pledge, security, collateral or guarantee
agreement or any other similar arrangement or credit enhancement
relating to such Federal Home Loan Bank security agreement.
However, a transfer may be avoided under this section if it was made
with actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud either existing or
future creditors.
