     33-3-411. Contingent liability of mutual members. (1) Each member of a domestic mutual insurer shall, except as otherwise provided in this part with respect to nonassessable policies, have a contingent liability, pro rata and not one for another, for the discharge of its obligations. The contingent liability must be expressed in the policy and must be in a maximum amount specified in the insurer's articles of incorporation.
     (2) Termination of the policy of any member may not relieve the member of contingent liability for the member's proportion, if any, of the obligations of the insurer that accrued while the policy was in force.
     (3) Unrealized contingent liability of members does not constitute an asset of the insurer in any determination of its financial condition.
