1. In cases where the creditor releases one of the joint and several debtors, whether the release is from the debt or from the solidarity, the other debtors may have a right of recourse against that debtor for their share in the debt, within the limits of the share of any bankrupt or insolvent among them. 2. If the creditor exempts the debtor they have released from all liability for the debt, the creditor shall bear the share of this debtor in the share of the bankrupt or insolvent debtor.
