(2) the obligation of the insurer to such person was purchased by or transferred to such person with a view of its being used as an offset, or
(3) the obligation of such person is to pay an assessment levied against the members of a mutual insurer or to pay a balance upon a subscription to the shares of a stock insurance corporation.
