Among other powers, the receiver may exercise all of the powers of the corporation, through or in place of its board of directors, executive committee or officers, to the extent necessary to carry on the ordinary and necessary business of the corporation and to manage the affairs of the corporation in the best interests of its shareholders and creditors.

D. The court from time to time during the receivership may order compensation paid and expense disbursements or reimbursements made to the receiver and its counsel from the assets of the corporation or proceeds from the sale of the assets.

E. A receiver of a corporation may sue and defend in all courts in his own name as receiver of such corporation.
