Protected cell assets shall be absolutely protected from the creditors of the protected cell company who are not creditors in respect of that protected cell and who, accordingly, are not entitled to have recourse to the protected cell assets attributable to that protected cell. Creditors with respect to a protected cell shall not be entitled to have recourse against the protected cell assets of other protected cells or the assets of the protected cell company's general account. Protected cell assets are available only to creditors of a protected cell company after all protected cell liabilities have been extinguished or otherwise provided for in accordance with the plan of operation relating to that protected cell.
(b) When an obligation of a protected cell company to a person arises from a transaction, or is otherwise imposed, in respect of a protected cell:(1) that obligation of the protected cell company shall extend only to the protected cell assets attributable to that protected cell, and the person shall, in respect of that obligation, be entitled to have recourse only to the protected cell assets attributable to that protected cell; and(2) that obligation of the protected cell company shall not extend to the protected cell assets of any other protected cell or the assets of the company's general account, and that person shall not, in respect of that obligation, be entitled to have recourse to the protected cell assets of any other protected cell or the assets of the company's general account.(c) When an obligation of a protected cell company relates solely to the general account, the obligation of the protected cell company shall extend only to, and that creditor shall, in respect of that obligation, be entitled to have recourse only to, the assets of the protected cell company's general account.(d) The activities, assets, and obligations relating to a protected cell are not subject to the provisions of Article XXXIII1/2; (Illinois Life and Health Guaranty Association Law) or Article XXXIV (Illinois Insurance Guaranty Fund), and neither a protected cell nor a protected cell company shall be assessed by or otherwise be required to contribute to any guaranty fund or guaranty association in this State with respect to the activities, assets, or obligations of a protected cell. Nothing in this subsection shall affect the activities or obligations of a company's general account.(e) In no event shall the establishment of one or more protected cells alone constitute or be deemed to be a fraudulent conveyance, an intent by the protected cell company to defraud creditors, or the carrying out of business by the protected cell company for any other fraudulent purpose.
