(4) In the case of a group including incorporated and individual unincorporated underwriters, the trust shall consist of a trusteed account representing the group's liabilities attributable to business written in the United States and, in addition, the group shall maintain a trusteed surplus of which $100,000,000.00 shall be held jointly for the benefit of United States ceding insurers of any member of the group; the incorporated members of the group shall not engage in any business other than underwriting as a member of the group and shall be subject to the same level of solvency regulation and control by the group's domiciliary regulator as are the unincorporated members; and the group shall make available to the commissioner an annual certification of the solvency of each underwriter by the group's domiciliary regulator and its independent public accountants.

(5) In the case of a group of incorporated insurers under common administration which complies with the filing requirements contained in subsection (d) of this section, and which has continuously transacted an insurance business outside the United States for at least three years immediately prior to making application for accreditation; and submits to this state's authority to examine its books and records and bears the expense of the examination, and which has aggregate policyholders' surplus of $10,000,000,000.00; the trust shall be in an amount equal to the group's several liabilities attributable to business ceded by United States ceding insurers to any member of the group pursuant to reinsurance contracts issued in the name of such group; plus the group shall maintain a joint trusteed surplus of which $100,000,000.00 shall be held jointly for the benefit of United States ceding insurers of any member of the group as additional security for any such liabilities, and each member of the group shall make available to the commissioner an annual certification of the member's solvency by the member's domiciliary regulator and its independent public accountant.

(g) If the assuming insurer is not licensed or accredited to transact insurance or reinsurance in this state, the credit permitted by subsections (e) and (f) of this section shall not be allowed unless the assuming insurer agrees in the reinsurance agreements:

(1) that in the event of the failure of the assuming insurer to perform its obligations under the terms of the reinsurance agreement, the assuming insurer, at the request of the ceding insurer, shall submit to the jurisdiction of any court of competent jurisdiction in any state of the United States, will comply with all requirements necessary to give such court jurisdiction, and will abide by the final decision of such court or of any appellate court in the event of an appeal; and

(2) to designate the secretary of state or a designated attorney as its true and lawful attorney upon whom may be served any lawful process in any action, suit or proceeding instituted by or on behalf of the ceding company. This provision is not intended to conflict with or override the obligation of the parties to a reinsurance agreement to arbitrate their disputes, if such an obligation is created in the agreement.

(h) Reduction from liability for reinsurance ceded by a domestic insurer to an assuming insurer. A domestic insurer that does not meet the requirements of subsections (a) through (g) of this section shall be allowed a reduction in liability:

(1) in an amount not exceeding the liabilities carried by the ceding insurer; and

(2) in the amount of funds held by or on behalf of the ceding insurer, including funds held in trust for the ceding insurer, under a reinsurance contract with such assuming insurer as collateral for the payment of obligations thereunder, if such collateral is held in the United States subject to withdrawal solely by, and under the exclusive control of, the ceding insurer; or, in the case of a trust, held in a qualified United States financial institution approved by the commissioner. Such collateral shall be in the form of:

Letters of credit meeting applicable standards of issuer acceptability as of the dates of their issuance or confirmation shall, notwithstanding the issuing or confirming institution's subsequent failure to meet applicable standards of issuer acceptability, continue to be acceptable as security until their expiration, extension, renewal, modification, or amendment, whichever first occurs; or

(D) any other form of collateral acceptable to the commissioner.

(i) Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection, the commissioner shall allow credit for reinsurance ceded and assumed to a pooling arrangement that has the following characteristics:

(1) the majority of the pooling members are licensed to transact business in this state, or are licensed in a state that is accredited with the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, or are approved by the commissioner;

(2) the members of the pool are subject to joint and several liability;

(3) all members of the pool agree to file with the commissioner, annually on or before March 1, a copy of the member's annual statement filed with the insurance department of its state of domicile; and

(4) the manager of the pool files with the commissioner, annually on or before December 1, a request to be exempted from the provisions of subdivisions (a)(1) through (4) of this section.
