Sec. 184.202.  VIOLATION OF LENDING LIMIT.  (a)  An officer, director, manager, managing participant, or employee of a state trust company who approves or participates in the approval of a loan with actual knowledge that the loan violates Section 184.201 is jointly and severally liable to the state trust company for the lesser of the amount by which the loan exceeded applicable lending limits or the state trust company's actual loss.  The person remains liable for that amount until the loan and all prior indebtedness of the borrower to the state trust company have been fully repaid.
(b)  The state trust company may initiate a proceeding to collect an amount due under this section at any time before the date the borrower defaults on the subject loan or any prior indebtedness or before the fourth anniversary of that date.
(c)  A person who is liable for and pays amounts to the state trust company under this section is entitled to an assignment of the state trust company's claim against the borrower to the extent of the payments.
(d)  For purposes of this section, an officer, director, manager, managing participant, or employee of a state trust company is presumed to know the amount of the state trust company's lending limit under Section 184.201 and the amount of the borrower's aggregate outstanding indebtedness to the state trust company immediately before a new loan or extension of credit to that borrower.
