(3) The ratable portion, included in such liabilities, of the gross liabilities and reserves on risks reinsured, in whole or in part, by an alien insurer which complies with this article and includes in the statements required thereby all reserves and liabilities arising out of such reinsurance, or, subject to the same limitations as are contained in Sections 922.2 to 922.8, inclusive, by another insurer which is authorized to transact insurance in any state of the United States, except in the case of excess loss and catastrophe reinsurance where the deduction shall be on the basis of the actual reinsurance premiums and the actual reinsurance terms.

(4) Those liabilities in the United States, pertaining to any asset in the United States of such alien insurer, other than the assets described in subdivisions (a), (b), (c), and (d), but such deduction shall in no case exceed that portion of the value of such asset which is applicable to the liability pertaining thereto.

(5) If such alien insurer is a life insurer, the amount of the unpaid principal and interest of any loan made by it to the holder of, and solely on the security of, any policy of life insurance or annuity contract issued or assumed by it, on the life of or to any person in the United States. Such amount shall in no case exceed the amount of the reserve required to be maintained on such policy or annuity contract by such insurer. Such amount is designated as “policy loans in the United States.”
