(a) If a reciprocal insurer's assets are at any time insufficient to discharge its liabilities, other than any liability because of funds contributed by the attorney or others, and to maintain the required surplus, its attorney shall immediately make up the deficiency or levy an assessment upon the subscribers for the amount needed to make up the deficiency, subject to the limitation set forth in the power of attorney or policy.

(b) If the attorney fails to make up the deficiency or to make the assessment within thirty (30) days after the commissioner orders him to do so, or if the deficiency is not fully made up within sixty (60) days after the date the assessment is made, the insurer is deemed insolvent and shall be proceeded against as authorized by this code.

(c) If an insurer's liquidation is ordered, an assessment shall be levied upon the subscribers in an amount, subject to limits as provided by this chapter, the commissioner determines to be necessary to discharge all the insurer's liabilities, exclusive of any funds contributed by the attorney or other persons, but including the reasonable liquidation cost.
