(a) Upon application by a dissolved limited cooperative association that has published a notice under § 29-1012.09, the Superior Court may determine the amount and form of security to be provided for payment of claims against the association that are contingent, have not been made known to the association, or are based on an event occurring after the effective date of dissolution, but that, based on the facts known to the association, are reasonably anticipated to arise after the effective date of dissolution. The court need not require security for any claim that is barred under § 29-1012.08 or § 29-1012.09 or that is reasonably anticipated to be barred under that section.
(b) Not later than 10 days after filing an application under subsection (a) of this section, a dissolved limited cooperative association shall give notice of the proceeding to each known claimant holding a contingent claim as shown on the records of the dissolved association.
(c) The Superior Court may appoint a representative in a proceeding brought under this section to represent all claimants whose identities are unknown. The dissolved limited cooperative association shall pay reasonable fees and expenses of the representative, including all reasonable attorneys' and expert witness fees.
(d) Provision by the dissolved limited cooperative association for security in the amount and the form ordered by the Superior Court shall satisfy the association's obligations with respect to claims that are contingent, have not been made known to the association, or are based on an event occurring after the effective date of dissolution. The association's obligations with respect to claims that are contingent may not be enforced against a member or holder of financial rights that received assets in liquidation.
