(a) No person referred to in § 4702 (solicitation permit required; penalty) of this title, after receiving a certificate of authority, if an insurer in this or any other State or after completing its original organization and financing, if other than an insurer, shall in this State solicit or receive funds in exchange for its securities until it has applied to the Commissioner for and has been granted a solicitation permit. This provision is subject to the same exemptions as are provided by § 4704 of this title.
(b) The Commissioner shall expeditiously issue such a permit unless the Commissioner finds:
(1) That the funds proposed to be secured are inadequate or excessive in amount for the purposes intended; or
(2) That the proposed securities or the manner of their distribution would be unfair or inequitable to existing or proposed security holders or policyholders of the issuer.
(c) Any such permit granted by the Commissioner shall be for such duration and shall contain such terms and be issued upon such conditions as the Commissioner may reasonably specify or require for the protection of existing or proposed investors. In the Commissioner's discretion, such terms and conditions may be substantially the same as or materially different from requirements made under this chapter as to solicitation permits for initial financing.
(d) Violation of subsection (a) of this section shall be subject to the same penalties as prescribed by § 4702(b) (solicitation permit required; penalty) of this title.
