  • When  the  superintendent  shall  take  possession of the property and business of any banking organization:
        1.  The superintendent shall forthwith give notice of such fact to all
      corporations, unincorporated  associations,  partnerships,  governmental
      entities  and  other  entities  and individuals known to him to hold any
      assets of such  banking  organization.  No  corporation,  unincorporated
      association,   partnership,  governmental  entity  or  other  entity  or
      individual having notice or knowledge that the superintendent has  taken
      possession of such banking organization, shall have a lien or charge for
      any  payment,  advance  or  clearance thereafter made against any of the
      assets of such banking organization for liability thereafter incurred.
        2. Upon the written demand of  the  superintendent,  any  corporation,
      unincorporated  association,  partnership,  governmental entity or other
      entity or individual holding assets of such banking  organization  shall
      deliver  such  assets  to  the  superintendent  and  shall  thereupon be
      discharged from liability with respect to any claim  upon  such  assets;
      provided,  however  that  such  demand  shall  not affect the right of a
      secured creditor with a perfected security interest, or other valid lien
      or security  interest  enforceable  against  third  parties,  to  retain
      collateral,  including  any  right  of  such  secured creditor under any
      security arrangement related  to  a  qualified  financial  contract,  as
      defined  in  section  six  hundred  eighteen-a of this article to retain
      collateral and apply such collateral in accordance with paragraph (d) of
      subdivision two of section  six  hundred  eighteen-a  of  this  article.
      Nothing in this section shall affect any right of setoff permitted under
      applicable   law;   provided,  however,  that  in  connection  with  the
      liquidation of a branch or  agency  of  a  foreign  banking  corporation
      pursuant  to  this  article,  no  entity  or  individual may set off the
      business and property in this state of such foreign banking  corporation
      described  in  subparagraph  one of paragraph (c) of subdivision four of
      section six hundred six of this  article  against  liabilities  of  such
      foreign   banking  corporation  other  than  those  that  arise  out  of
      transactions had by such entity or individual with such branch or agency
      (which liabilities shall be deemed to include in the case  of  qualified
      financial  contracts  the  lesser  of  the  two  amounts calculated with
      respect to any such qualified financial contract pursuant  to  paragraph
      (c)  of  subdivision  two  of  section  six  hundred  eighteen-a of this
      article) and provided that such setoff is  otherwise  permissible  under
      applicable law.
