(A) The assets deposited or withheld are held subject to withdrawal by, and under the control of, the ceding captive insurance company; or

(B) The assets deposited or withheld are placed in a trust or escrow account for such purposes in a bank which is either chartered by the State of Georgia or a national bank which is a member of the Federal Reserve System and withdrawals cannot be made without the express written consent of the ceding captive insurance company;

(3) To the extent of the amount of a letter of credit, as described in Code Section 33-41-9, given pursuant to an express provision in the reinsurance agreement as security for the payment of the reinsurer's obligations thereunder; or
