(a) Prior to the solicitation of any applications for insurance pursuant to the requirements for a certificate of authority of a mutual insurer, the incorporators of the proposed insurer shall file with the Commissioner a corporate surety bond in the penalty of $15,000.00 in favor of the state and for the use and benefit of the state and of applicant members and creditors of the corporation.

All of the conditions shall become due and payable only in the event the corporation fails to complete its organization and secure a certificate of authority within two years from and after the date of the certificate of incorporation.

(b) In lieu of such bond, the incorporators may deposit with the Commissioner $15,000.00 in cash or United States government bonds negotiable and payable to the bearer, with a market value at all times of not less than $15,000.00, to be held in trust upon the same conditions as required for the bond.
