(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, in any action of the Fund as insurer, subrogee, conservator, or receiver against a shareholder, director, officer, employee, agent, or other person contributing to a loss at a member association or to enforce the terms of a net worth certificate or similar obligation:

(1) A judgment obtained by the Fund shall have priority over any other judgment lien on a defendant's real or personal property without need for further perfection or execution thereon;

(2) All attorneys' fees, costs, and expenses of the Fund for the litigation shall be assessed as part of any judgment in favor of the Fund; and

(3) All money recovered by the Fund as insurer or subrogee shall be first applied to repay any monetary advance by the State to the Fund, including any and all fees, costs, and expenses, to further the purposes of this title. Money so recovered shall be placed in a separate account and shall be transferred as specified under § 10-110.2 of this subtitle.
