A. A transfer or obligation is not voidable under § 44-1004, subsection A, paragraph 1 against a person who took in good faith and for a reasonably equivalent value or against any subsequent transferee or obligee.
B. Except as otherwise provided in this section, to the extent a transfer is voidable in an action by a creditor under § 44-1007, subsection A, paragraph 1, 1 the creditor may recover judgment for the value of the asset transferred, as adjusted under subsection C of this section, or the amount necessary to satisfy the creditor's claim, whichever is less. The judgment may be entered against either:
1. The first transferee of the asset or the person for whose benefit the transfer was made.
2. Any subsequent transferee other than a good faith transferee who took for value or from any subsequent transferee.

1. A lien on or a right to retain any interest in the asset transferred.
2. Enforcement of any obligation incurred.
3. A reduction in the amount of the liability on the judgment.
E. A transfer is not voidable under § 44-1004, subsection A, paragraph 2 or § 44-1005 if the transfer results from:
