Causing the notice to be served upon the president or other executive officer in charge of the business of the institution; b. Causing the notice to be provided to all correspondent banks of the institution. However, if the commissioner fails to provide the notice, the commissioner shall incur no liability for such failure to act; and c. Causing the notice to be made public. 2. The rights and liabilities of an institution and of the institution's creditors, depositors, shareholders, and all other persons interested in the institution's estate, unless otherwise directed, must be fixed as of the date of the delivery of the notice of possession to the president or other executive officer actively in charge of the business of the institution. In the case of mutual debts or mutual credits of equal priority between the institution and another person, the credits and debts must be setoff and the balance only must be allowed or paid. The right to setoff must be determined as of the date of delivery of the notice of possession of the institution to the president or other executive officer actively in charge of the business of the institution.

6-07.2-04. Appointment of receiver - Restrictions on proceedings, liens, or credits - Bonding. 1. After taking possession of the business and property of the institution, the commissioner may appoint the appropriate federal deposit insurance agency or other qualified party as the receiver of the closed institution. If the federal deposit insurance corporation or national credit union association accepts appointment as receiver, the federal deposit insurance corporation or national credit union association is not required to post bond. 2. Upon appointment as receiver, title to all assets of the institution vests in the receiver without the execution of any instruments of conveyance, assignment, transfer, or endorsement. If no other receiver is appointed as provided in this chapter, the commissioner shall act as receiver and has all of the powers and duties of a receiver as provided in this chapter. 3. Except as otherwise provided, the sole and exclusive right to liquidate and terminate the affairs of an institution is vested in the receiver appointed under this section, and another receiver, assignee, trustee, or liquidating agent may not be appointed by any court or any other person. 4. After the commissioner has taken possession of the business and property of an institution, a suit, action, or other proceeding at law or in equity may not be commenced or prosecuted against the institution upon any debt, obligation, claim, or demand. All such claims may be brought against the receiver. 5. A person holding any of the property or credits of the institution does not have a lien or charge against the property or credits for any payment, advance, or clearance made after the commissioner has taken possession. A lien may not attach to any of the assets or property of the institution by reason of the entry of any judgment recovered against the institution after the commissioner has taken possession of the institution's business and property.

6. Every receiver appointed by the commissioner, except a federal deposit insurance agency, before entering upon the discharge of the receiver's duties and before proceeding to liquidate the affairs of any institution, may be required by the commissioner to furnish a bond. Such bond must be approved as to form and amount by the commissioner. The cost of such bond must be paid from the assets of the institution being liquidated.
