1. Any officer, manager, director, trustee, owner, employee or agent of any insurer, or any other persons with authority over or in charge of any segment of the insurer's affairs, shall cooperate with the director or any receiver in any proceeding under sections 375.1150 to 375.1246 or any investigation preliminary to the proceeding. The term "person" as used in this section, shall include any person who exercises control directly or indirectly over activities of the insurer through any holding company or other affiliate of the insurer. "To cooperate" shall include, but shall not be limited to, the following:
(1) To reply promptly in writing to any inquiry from the director requesting such a reply; and
(2) To make available to the director any books, accounts, documents, or other records or information or property of or pertaining to the insurer and in its possession, custody or control.
2. It is unlawful for any person included in subsection 1 of this section to obstruct or interfere with the director in the conduct of any delinquency proceeding or any investigation preliminary or incidental thereto.
3. This section shall not be construed to abridge otherwise existing legal rights, including the right to resist a petition for liquidation or other delinquency proceedings, or other orders.
4. In any proceeding under sections 375.1150 to 375.1246, the director and his deputies shall be responsible on their official bonds for the faithful performance of their duties. If the court deems it desirable for the protection of the assets, it may at any time require an additional bond from the director or his deputies, and such bonds shall be paid for out of the assets of the insurer as a cost of administration.
