Sec. 11. (a) Subject to subsections (b) through (d), if an order for liquidation or rehabilitation of a member insurer domiciled in Indiana has been entered, the receiver appointed under the order shall have a right to recover on behalf of the member insurer, from any affiliate that controlled it, the amount of distributions, other than stock dividends paid by the member insurer on its capital stock, made at any time during the five (5) years preceding the filing of the petition for liquidation or rehabilitation.
(b) A distribution described in subsection (a) is not recoverable if the member insurer shows that when the distribution was paid the distribution was lawful and reasonable, and that the member insurer did not know and could not reasonably have known that the distribution might adversely affect the ability of the member insurer to fulfill the member insurer's policy and contract obligations.
(c) A person who was an affiliate that controlled the member insurer at the time a distribution described in subsection (a) was paid is liable up to the amount of distributions the person received. A person who was an affiliate that controlled the member insurer at the time the distributions were declared shall be liable up to the amount of distributions that would have been received if the distributions had been paid immediately. If two (2) or more persons are liable with respect to the same distributions, they are jointly and severally liable.
(d) The maximum amount recoverable under this section shall be the amount needed in excess of all other available assets of the insolvent insurer to pay the policy and contract obligations of the insolvent insurer.
(e) If a person liable under subsection (c) is insolvent, the affiliates that controlled the person at the time the distribution was paid shall be jointly and severally liable for any resulting deficiency in the amount recovered from the insolvent affiliate.
