If the assets of a sponsored captive insurance company's general account are used to pay expenses or claims attributable solely to one or more of the company's protected cells, the sponsor shall not be required to contribute additional capital and surplus to the company's general account. Notwithstanding any provision of this subdivision, the sponsor shall satisfy the minimum capital and surplus requirements applicable to such sponsor in order to maintain its license; and

(2) Not extend to any asset of another protected cell or in the sponsored captive insurance company's general account, and the creditor shall not be entitled to recourse against any asset attributable to another protected cell or in the company's general account.

(h) When an obligation of a sponsored captive insurance company relates solely to such company's general account, a creditor shall, with respect to such obligation, be entitled to recourse only against the assets in such account.

(i) The establishment of one or more protected cells alone, without more, shall not, by itself, constitute (1) a fraudulent conveyance, (2) evidence of intent by a sponsored captive insurance company to defraud creditors, or (3) the conduct of business by a sponsored captive insurance company for any other fraudulent purpose.
