| 21 |
| purchaser or transferee shall be personally liable to the | 22 |
| Director for the
payment to the Director of the contributions, | 23 |
| interest and penalties
incurred by the seller or transferor up | 24 |
| to the amount of the reasonable
value of the property acquired | 25 |
| by him.
| 26 |
| Any person who shall acquire any property or rights thereto | 27 |
| which at the
time of such acquisition is subject to a valid | 28 |
| lien in favor of the
Director shall be personally liable to the | 29 |
| Director for a sum equal to the
amount of contributions secured | 30 |
| by such lien but not to exceed the
reasonable value of such | 31 |
| property acquired by him.
