A. A protected cell of a sponsored captive insurance company may be formed as an entity-protected cell. "Entity-protected cell" means a protected cell that is established as any type of legal entity separate from the sponsored captive insurance company of which it is a part.
B. Subject to the prior written approval of the sponsored captive insurance company and of the Insurance Commissioner, an entity-protected cell shall be entitled to enter into contracts and undertake obligations in its own name and for its own account. In the case of a contract or obligation to which the sponsored captive insurance company is not a party, either in its own name and for its own account or on behalf of a protected cell, the counterparty to the contract or obligation shall have no right or recourse against the sponsored captive insurance company and its assets other than against assets properly attributable to the entity-protected cell that is a party to the contract or obligation.
C. The articles of incorporation or articles of organization of an entity-protected cell shall refer to the sponsored captive insurance company for which it is a protected cell and shall state that the protected cell is incorporated or organized for the limited purposes authorized by the sponsored captive insurance company's license. A copy of the prior written approval of the Commissioner to add the entity-protected cell, required by Section 6470.29 of Title 36 of the Oklahoma Statutes, shall be attached to and filed with the articles of incorporation or the articles of organization.
D. Sponsored captive insurance companies, including those licensed as special purpose captive insurance companies, shall have
the option to establish one or more protected cells as a separate corporation, mutual corporation, nonprofit corporation, limited liability company, or reciprocal insurer. This section shall not be construed to limit any rights or protections applicable to protected cells not established as corporations, mutual corporations, nonprofit corporations, limited liability companies, or reciprocal insurers.
