The reduction shall be 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 the assuming insurer as security for the payment of obligations thereunder, if the security 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, as defined in subsection B of Section 5123.1 of this title. This security may be in the form of: 1. Cash; 2.
