(A) the amounts that may be assessed under this chapter are insufficient to ensure full and prompt performance of the association's duties under this chapter; or
(B) adverse economic or financial conditions affecting member insurers make imposition of the lien in the public interest; or
(2) in addition to any contractual provision for deferral of cash or policy loan value, impose a temporary moratorium or lien on payment of cash values and policy loans or the exercise of any other right to withdraw money held in connection with a policy or contract.
