MARVIN MANDEL, Governor
1653
VOLUNTARILY OR INVOLUNTARILY DISSOLVED IS VESTED WITH
FULL TITLE TO ALL THE ASSETS OF THE CORPORATION AND HAS
FULL POWER TO ENFORCE OBLIGATIONS OR LIABILITIES IN ITS
FAVOR. HE SHALL LIQUIDATE THE ASSETS OF THE CORPORATION
AND WIND DP ITS AFFAIRS UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF THE

(B) AS TO FRAUDULENT TRANSFER OR PREFERENCE.

FRAUDULENT UNDER STATE LAW OR THE FEDERAL BANKRUPTCY ACT
IF MADE BY AN INSOLVENT OR BANKRUPT IS TO THE SAME EXTENT
VOID, VOIDABLE, OR FRAUDULENT, RESPECTIVELY, AS TO THE
CORPORATION, AND THE RECEIVER HAS THE POWERS OF A TRUSTEE

OTHERWISE IN WRITING, THE SALE MAY TAKE PLACE AS IF THE
PROCEEDINGS FOR DISSOLUTION HAD NOT BEEN INSTITUTED.
