(3) After expiration of such 10-day period, the premium finance company may thereafter in the name of the insured cancel such insurance policy or policies by mailing to the insurer a notice of cancellation, and the insurance policy shall be canceled as if such notice of cancellation had been submitted by the insured, but without requiring the return of the insurance policy or policies. The premium finance company shall also mail a notice of cancellation to the insured at the last-known address of the insured and to the insurance producer indicated on the premium finance agreement.
