(a) [Repealed, Sec. 102 ch 26 SLA 1993].

(b) When the department has taken possession of a state bank, it is vested with the full and exclusive power of management and control, including the power to continue or discontinue the business, to stop or limit the payment of the bank's obligations, to employ necessary assistants, to execute any instrument in the name of the bank, to commence, defend, and conduct in the bank's name any action or proceeding in which the bank may be a party, to terminate the possession by restoring the bank to its board of directors, and to reorganize or liquidate the bank under this chapter. As soon as practicable after taking possession, the department shall make an inventory of the assets and file a copy of the inventory with the superior court.

(c) When the department has taken possession, there shall be a postponement, until six months after the commencement of that possession, of the date upon which any period of limitation fixed by a statute or agreement would otherwise expire on a claim or right of action of the bank, or upon which an appeal must be taken or a pleading or other document must be filed by the bank in any pending action or proceeding.

(1) any lien or attachment, other than an attorney's or mechanic's lien, obtained upon any asset of the bank during the department's possession or within four months before commencement of that possession, may be vacated, except liens created by the department while in possession; and

(2) any transfer of an asset of the bank made after or in contemplation of its insolvency or in anticipation of the department's takeover, with intent to effect a preference of one creditor over another creditor or to prevent the distribution of the bank's assets according to law, is void.

(h) The department may borrow money in the name of the bank in its possession and may pledge assets of the bank as security for the loan.
