a. The company may make a mortgage loan on real property owned by an employee of the company which is to serve as the employee's dwelling, provided the company is regularly and actively involved in making residential mortgage loans to the public.

b. The company may acquire a mortgage loan on real property owned by an employee of the company which is to serve as the employee's dwelling, provided the company acquiring such loan is regularly and actively involved in acquiring residential mortgage loans not involving employees from sources in the secondary market.

c. The company may acquire a mortgage loan on real property owned by an employee, officer, or director which is included in a portfolio of mortgages initiated by others and acquired by the life insurance company.

d. The company may continue to hold a mortgage loan on real estate which is assumed by an employee, officer, or director if the mortgage was originally properly made or acquired by the life insurance company, provided that all terms and conditions of the mortgage loan remain unchanged and the mortgage loan is serviced in accordance with customary servicing practices of prudent lending institutions.

e. The company may continue to hold a mortgage on real estate owned by an officer or director which was properly made or acquired by the company before the officer or director became an officer or director of the company, provided that all terms and conditions of the mortgage loan remain unchanged and the mortgage loan is serviced in accordance with customary servicing practices of prudent lending institutions.
