(3) If any insurer issuing policies for or to the purchasing group has any order of supervision, receivership, conservation, or liquidation, or any order similar to such an order, entered against it in any state or country by a court or insurance commissioner (or equivalent supervisory official).
(4) If the purchasing group solicits or accepts, or permits the solicitation or acceptance, of insurance applications by a person not licensed in Washington as an insurance producer or surplus line broker; or does or permits any other act, by a person not licensed as an insurance producer or surplus line broker, if that act may be performed only by one so licensed.
