      5.  Collect any payment from a retrocessionaire or commit the reinsurer to any settlement of a claim with a retrocessionaire, without the approval of the reinsurer. If approval is given, the manager for reinsurance shall promptly forward a report to the reinsurer.

      6.  Employ a person who is employed by the reinsurer unless the manager for reinsurance is under common control with the reinsurer within the meaning of chapter 692C of NRS.

      7.  Appoint another person to act as a manager for reinsurance.
