(1) the guarantor has capital and surplus of $100 million, exclusive of investments in subsidiaries and affiliates;

(2) the guarantor has admitted assets backing capital and surplus in an amount sufficient to fulfill the guaranty, and the sufficiency on an ongoing basis is demonstrated to the satisfaction of the commissioner;

(3) the guarantor and all affiliates are in good standing with the department;
