(2) Any person having a contract under which he enjoys in fact the exclusive or dominant right to manage or control a stock or mutual insurer. (3) Any person holding the shares of capital stock or policyholders' proxies of a domestic insurer for the purpose of control of its management either as voting trustee or otherwise. (4) Any person engaged in or proposing to be engaged in or assisting in the proposed formation of a domestic insurer or an insurance holding corporation or a stock corporation to finance a domestic mutual insurer for the production of its business or the attorney-in-fact of a domestic reciprocal insurer.
