§   1321.   Commutation   of   reinsurance   agreements.  (a)  If  the
superintendent finds that a domestic insurer or a United  States  branch
of  an alien insurer entered through this state is impaired or insolvent
within the meaning of this chapter, the superintendent may  permit  such
insurer  to  utilize commutations of reinsurance agreements to eliminate
the impairment  or  insolvency,  provided  that  such  commutations  are
approved  by  the superintendent in accordance with standards prescribed
by regulation.

(b) For purposes of this section, commutation of a reinsurance agreement is the elimination of all present and future obligations between the parties, arising from the reinsurance agreement, in exchange for a current consideration.

(c) Nothing herein contained shall preclude the superintendent from proceeding against such insurer under any other provision of this chapter.
