(c) The obligation of the other person to the person in liquidation is to pay an assessment levied against the other person or to pay a balance upon a subscription for shares of the capital stock of the person in liquidation.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a set-off of amounts due on obligations arising from those contracts shall be allowed if the balance arises from contracts that were entered into, renewed, or extended with the express written approval of the commissioner.
