A. At the time of filing its application with the Insurance Commissioner for review and approval of an Insurance Business Transfer Plan, the applicant shall pay a nonrefundable fee to the Insurance Department in the amount of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00).
B. In the Commissioner's discretion, in connection with the Department's participation in the proceedings undertaken pursuant to the Insurance Business Transfer Act, the applicant shall reimburse the Department for any compensation and benefits paid to the personnel of the Department for time spent engaged in the proceedings, including but not limited to examiners, actuaries, attorneys, managers and paraprofessionals.
C. The Commissioner may retain independent attorneys, appraisers, actuaries, certified public accountants, or other professionals and specialists to assist Department personnel in connection with the review required by the Insurance Business Transfer Act, the cost of which shall be borne by the applicant.
D. The applicant shall pay the expenses of the Department and its authorized consultants incurred in fulfilling their obligations under this act, including the actual expenses of the Department or the expenses and compensation of any consultants retained by the Department.
E. The transferring insurer and the assuming insurer shall jointly be obligated to pay any compensation, costs and expenses of the independent expert and any consultants retained by the independent expert and approved by the Department incurred in fulfilling the obligations of the independent expert under this act. Nothing in this act shall be construed to create any duty for the independent expert to any party other than the Department or the Court.
F. Failure to pay any of the requisite fees or reimbursements within thirty (30) days of demand shall be grounds for the Commissioner to request that the court dismiss the petition for approval of the Insurance Business Transfer Plan prior to the filing of an implementation order by the court or, if after the filing of an implementation order, the Commissioner may suspend or revoke the assuming insurer's certificate of authority to transact insurance business in this state.
