(1) an amount specified by the reinsurer; or
(2) one percent (1%) of the reinsurer's policyholder's surplus as of December 31 of the last complete calendar year before the payment or commitment.
(e) A RM may not collect any payment from a retrocessionaire or commit the reinsurer to any claim settlement with a retrocessionaire without prior approval of the reinsurer. If prior approval is given, a report must be promptly forwarded to the reinsurer.
