section 10 of this chapter, the incorporators or their representatives
shall obtain a certified copy of the articles of incorporation from the
secretary of state and file such certified copy with the department.
(b) The incorporators shall also file with the department a surety
bond payable to the state of Indiana in the sum of ten thousand dollars
($10,000), with surety to be approved by the commissioner or collateral

of authority from the department, or to its shareholders, members,
applicants for policies and creditors, or the trustee, receiver, or assignee
of the proposed company duly appointed in any proceedings in any
court of competent jurisdiction in the state in accordance with their
respective rights in case the organization of the proposed company

department to make the kind or kinds of insurance proposed in its
articles of incorporation, provided that such company shall not issue
policies or enter into contracts of insurance until it shall have received
the certificate of the department authorizing it so to do.
