Each transaction in violation of this act and each day that a violation continues shall be a separate offense except that whenever a corporation shall violate any provision of this act, such violation shall be deemed to be also that of the individual directors, officers, and agents of such corporation who shall have authorized, ordered, or done any of the acts constituting such violation in whole or in part.
(b) A corporation and its directors, officers, and agents may each be prosecuted separately for violations of this act and the acquittal or conviction of one such director, officer or agent shall not abate the prosecution of the others.
(c) Violations of this act also may be enjoined or the violators ousted from continuing such violations by proceedings brought by the county attorney of the proper county or by the attorney general, regardless of whether or not criminal proceedings have been instituted.
