(b) Notwithstanding Subsection (a), if the loan or advance agreement provides for a sinking fund out of which the loan or advance is to be repaid, the loan or advance is a legal liability of the insurer or health maintenance organization, and a liability with respect to the insurer's or health maintenance organization's financial statement, only to the extent of the amounts accumulated and held in the sinking fund. By agreement of the parties, any portion of the amounts accumulated in the sinking fund may be returned to the surplus of the insurer or health maintenance organization at any time and any amount returned may not be a legal liability of the insurer or health maintenance organization or a liability with respect to the insurer's or health maintenance organization's financial statement.
