At the end of two years from the date upon which the superintendent took possession of any such party to the agreement he may demand of the trustee or trustees payment to him from the fund of such additional sum as shall be necessary to enable him to pay a dividend on account of insured shares which taken together with dividends previously paid on account thereof shall equal seventy-five per centum of such established insured claims of shareholders. At the end of three years from the date upon which the superintendent took possession of any party to the agreement he may demand of the trustee or trustees payment to him from the fund of such additional sum as shall be necessary to enable him to pay the unpaid balance of such established insured claims of shareholders.
