(2) to any person, in an amount or amounts aggregating not more than $10,000.00, upon the pledge of a life insurance policy or policies issued by a company which has been authorized to transact business in this State for not less than five years next preceding the making of such loan; but no such loan shall exceed 90% of the cash surrender value of such policy or policies; and

(3) to any person, (i) in an amount or amounts aggregating not more than $10,000.00, upon the pledge of securities which (a) have a value not less than twice the amount of such loan, and (b) are of the kind in which a savings bank may by law invest, or (c) if not eligible for such investment, have a readily ascertainable market value or are listed upon a registered stock or securities exchange, or (ii) in an amount or amounts aggregating not more than $20,000.00 upon the pledge of stocks, bonds, and notes or obligations of or guaranteed by the United States, or those for which the credit of the United States is pledged for the payment of the principal and interest or dividends thereof, which have a value not less than 110% of such loan.

B. No savings bank shall make any loan of the character described in paragraphs (2) or (3) of subsection A of this section at any time when the total of all such loans made pursuant to both of such paragraphs exceed, or if the making of such a loan would cause such total to exceed, 10% of its deposits.
