1. Is domiciled in (or, in the case of a U.S. branch of an alien assuming insurer, is entered through) a state that employs standards regarding credit for reinsurance substantially similar to those applicable under A.R.S. Title 20, Chapter 30 and this Part;

2. Maintains a surplus as regards policyholders in an amount not less than $20 million; and

3. Files a properly executed From AR-1 (Exhibit A) with the Director as evidence of the submission to the Director's authority to examine its books and records.
