The mortgage guaranty insurance company shall contribute to the contingency reserve an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of such remaining earned premiums. Contributions to the contingency reserve made during each calendar year shall be maintained for a period of one hundred twenty (120) months, except that withdrawals may be made by the company in any year in which the actual incurred losses exceed thirty-five percent (35%) of the corresponding earned premiums, and no such releases shall be made without prior approval by the commissioner of the mortgage guaranty insurance company's state of domicile.
