2. No insurance is provided until the certificate of authority has been so issued; and

3. The prepaid premium or deposit, and membership or policy fee, if any, shall be refunded in full to the applicant if the organization is not completed and certificate of authority issued before a specified reasonable date, which date shall be not later than one (1) year following date of issuance of the certificate of incorporation.
