						<section><p>The attorney or other interested <span class="dictionary">persons</span> may advance to a domestic reciprocal any funds required in its operations. No repayment of the principal, or any payment of interest thereon, in whole or in part, shall be made without the approval of the <span class="dictionary">Commission</span>. The principal advanced and any interest accrued thereon shall not be treated as a liability of the reciprocal until the repayment of principal or payment of interest is approved by the <span class="dictionary">Commission</span>; nonetheless, all statements published or filed shall show accrued interest and the amount of principal remaining unpaid. In the event of a <span class="dictionary">liquidation</span> or dissolution, all claims under the instrument shall be subordinated to subscriber, claimant and beneficiary claims as well as debts owed to all other classes of <span class="dictionary">creditors</span>. The principal advanced shall not be withdrawn or repaid and no payments of interest thereon shall be made unless the reciprocal has sufficient earned surplus in excess of its minimum required surplus. No <span class="dictionary">commission</span> or brokerage shall be paid in acquiring the funds. Interest on the principal advanced shall be at a <span class="dictionary">rate</span> not exceeding the one-year treasury bill interest <span class="dictionary">rate</span> plus three percentage points at the time the loan is made or renewed.</p></section></text><history>1952, c. 317, &#xA7; 38.1-713; 1986, c. 562; 1994, c. 503.</history><metadata></metadata></law>
