1.  A court of this State, in which an order of rehabilitation or liquidation has been entered in delinquency proceedings against a domestic insurer or alien insurer domiciled in this State, has jurisdiction also over persons, served as provided in subsection 2, in an action brought by the insurer's receiver on or arising out of such obligation or relationship, as follows:

A. Persons obligated to the insurer as a result of agency or brokerage or transactions between such persons and the insurer;   [PL 1969, c. 132, §1 (NEW).]

B. Reinsurers of the insurer, and their representatives;   [PL 1991, c. 828, §27 (AMD).]

C. Past or present officers, managers, trustees, directors, organizers and promoters of the insurer, and other persons in positions of similar responsibility with the insurer;   [PL 1991, c. 828, §27 (AMD).]

D. Persons served who are or were at the time of the institution of the delinquency proceeding against the insurer holding assets in which the receiver claims an interest on behalf of the insurer, in any action concerning the assets; and   [PL 1991, c. 828, §28 (NEW).]

E. Persons served who are obligated to the insurer in any way whatsoever, in any action on or incident to the obligation.   [PL 1991, c. 828, §28 (NEW).]

[PL 1991, c. 828, §§27, 28 (AMD).]
