cell income – Insurance securitization.
A.  The protected cell assets of any protected cell shall not be
charged with liabilities arising out of any other business the
protected cell company may conduct.  All contracts or other
documentation reflecting protected cell liabilities shall clearly
indicate that only the protected cell assets are available for the
satisfaction of those protected cell liabilities.
B.  Unless otherwise approved by the Insurance Commissioner,
assets attributed to a protected cell shall be valued at their fair
value on the date of valuation.
C.  The income, gains and losses, realized or unrealized, from
protected cell assets and protected cell liabilities shall be
credited to or charged against the protected cell without regard to
other income, gains or losses of the protected cell company,
including income, gains or losses of other protected cells.  Amounts
attributed to any protected cell and accumulations on the attributed
amounts may be invested and reinvested without regard to any
requirements or limitations imposed on investments of insurance
companies domiciled in this state and the investments in any
protected cell or cells may not be taken into account in applying
the investment limitations otherwise applicable to the investments
of the protected cell company, subject to any restrictions that may

be imposed by the Commissioner in accordance with Section 9 of this
act.
D.  As permitted by the Commissioner, a protected cell company
may, in respect of any of its protected cells, engage in fully
funded indemnity triggered and/or fully funded nonindemnity
triggered insurance securitization to support in full the protected
cell exposures attributable to that protected cell.  A protected
cell company insurance securitization that is nonindemnity triggered
shall qualify as an insurance securitization under the terms of this
section only after the Commissioner, in accordance with the
authority granted under Section 9 of this act, adopts regulations
addressing the methods of funding of the portion of the risk that is
not indemnity-based, accounting, disclosure, risk-based capital
treatment, and assessing risks associated with those
securitizations.  A protected cell company insurance securitization
that is not fully funded, whether indemnity triggered or
nonindemnity triggered, is prohibited.  Protected cell assets may be
used to pay interest or other consideration on any outstanding debt
or other obligation attributable to that protected cell, and nothing
in this section shall be construed or interpreted as preventing a
protected cell company from entering into a swap agreement or other
transaction for the account of the protected cell that has the
effect of guaranteeing that interest or other consideration.
E.  In all protected cell company insurance securitizations, the
contracts or other documentation effecting the transaction shall
contain provisions identifying the protected cell to which the
transaction will be attributed.  In addition, the contracts or other
documentation shall clearly disclose that the assets of that
protected cell, and only those assets, are available to pay the
obligations of that protected cell.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,
and subject to the provisions of this title and any other applicable
law or rules, the failure to include that language in the contracts
or other documentation shall not be used as the sole basis by
creditors, reinsurers or other claimants to circumvent the
provisions of this section.
F.  At the cessation of business of a protected cell, and in
absence of any placement under administrative supervision or order
of conservation, rehabilitation or liquidation attributable to that
protected cell or the protected cell company, the protected cell
company shall voluntarily close out the protected cell account in
accordance with a plan approved by the Commissioner.
G.  A protected cell company shall only be authorized to
attribute to a protected cell account the insurance obligations
relating to the protected cell company's general account.  Under no
circumstances shall a protected cell be authorized to issue
insurance or reinsurance contracts directly to policyholders or

reinsureds or have any obligation to the policyholders or reinsureds
of the protected cell company's general account.
