(1) No foreign insurer licensed under this chapter may enter into or be subject to a contract that grants or surrenders the control or management of the insurer, unless the commissioner gives express approval of the contract. If amended, a contract previously approved under this subsection must again receive the commissioner's express approval.

The commissioner's disapproval shall be delivered to the insurer in writing, stating the grounds for the disapproval.

(3) The commissioner may not approve an exclusive management or exclusive agency contract under Subsection (1) or (2) which:

(a) subjects the insurer to excessive charges for expenses;

(b) vests in a person any control over the general affairs of the insurer to the exclusion of its board of directors or officers;
