(2) For the purpose of making insurance upon vessels, freights, goods, wares, merchandise, specie, bullion, jewels, profits, commissions, bank notes, bills of exchange and other evidence of debt, bottomry and respondentia interests, and every insurance appertaining to or connected with marine risks and risks of transportation and navigation, including the risks of lake, river, canal, and inland transportation and navigation, and to effect reinsurance on any risk of the subscribers hereto, or any of said risks wholly or in part, or the transfer thereof, and to accept any authorized risk whether direct or by reinsurance.
(3) For the purpose of making insurance against loss or damage resulting from accident to or injury sustained by an employee or other person for which accident or injury the insured is liable.

Provided, that no such insurance shall be written by any Lloyds under this chapter until such Lloyds shall have deposited with the department of insurance of the state of Indiana the sum of twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) in the direct or indirect obligations of the United States or of any state of the United States. In the event the total of all unsatisfied and unappealed from final awards made by the worker's compensation board under IC 22-3-2 through IC 22-3-6 against any Lloyds having made the above deposit shall exceed the amount of the above said deposit, then the department of insurance may require such Lloyds to make an additional deposit or deposits in cash in direct or indirect obligations of the United States or of any state of the United States in a sum equal to the difference between the amount of the unsatisfied final awards and the amount of the deposit with the department of insurance. The department of insurance is hereby authorized and directed to receive such deposit or deposits and to hold them exclusively for the protection of the holders of such insurance policies. Any deposit so made shall not be withdrawn except upon filing with the department of insurance evidence satisfactory to it that such Lloyds has no unsecured liability outstanding in this state upon any such insurance policy, and upon the approval of the department of insurance such Lloyds may withdraw such deposit, except that the above mentioned additional deposit may be withdrawn with the approval of the department of insurance upon filing satisfactory evidence that the total of all unsatisfied and unappealed from final awards made by the worker's compensation board do not exceed the amount of twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000).
