(1) If the assets of a domestic reciprocal insurer are at any time insufficient to discharge its liabilities, other than any liability on account of funds contributed by the attorney or other parties, and to maintain the surplus required for the kinds of insurance it is authorized to transact, and if the deficiency is not cured from other sources, its attorney shall forthwith levy an assessment upon subscribers made subject to assessment by the terms of the policies for the amount needed to make up the deficiency.
(2) If the attorney fails to make the assessment within thirty days after the Commissioner orders him to do so, or if the deficiency is not fully made up within sixty days after the date the assessment was made, the insurer shall be deemed insolvent and shall be proceeded against as authorized by this title.
(3) If liquidation of such an insurer is ordered, an assessment shall be levied upon the subscribers for such an amount subject to limits as provided in this chapter, as the Commissioner determines to be necessary to discharge all liabilities of the insurer, exclusive of any funds contributed by the attorney or other parties, but including the reasonable cost of the liquidation.
