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.
