Sec. 13. Every company issuing any such certificates of indebtedness or investment shall at all times maintain a reserve balance equal to at least three percent (3%) of the total amount paid in on all of its outstanding certificates of indebtedness or investment, which said reserve balance shall consist of cash on hand or on demand deposit with a solvent and going bank or trust company. If at any time such reserve balance shall be reduced below the amount prescribed in this section, such company shall not issue any additional certificates of indebtedness or investment nor make any new loans or pay any dividends until such reserve balance shall have been fully restored to the amount prescribed in this section. All of the officers and such of the directors as participate in violating any of the provisions of this section shall be jointly and severally liable to the holder or holders of any certificates of indebtedness or investment issued when such reserve balance is below the amount prescribed in this section for any loss suffered or sustained by them accruing by reason of such violation. Any such company which maintains federal deposit insurance as authorized in section 6(a)(17) of this chapter and which maintains the reserves required by the Federal Reserve Act shall be considered to have complied fully with this section.
