In this section: (1) "Adjusted liabilities," when used with respect to a foreign bank which is licensed to establish an agency or a branch office this State, means the liabilities of that bank's business in this State, excluding: (a) accrued expenses; (b) any liability to an office, whether in or outside of this State, or majority-owned subsidiary of the bank; and (c) such other liabilities as the commissioner may by regulation or order exclude.

However, "eligible asset," when used with respect to a foreign bank which is licensed to establish an agency or a branch office, includes: (a) any asset which the bank establishes on deposit pursuant to section 69 of P.L.1996, c.17 (C.17:9A-450); and (b) any reserves which the bank establishes with respect to its business in this State in accordance with requirements prescribed by the Federal Reserve. b.

A foreign bank licensed to establish an agency or a branch office in this State shall hold at its agency or branch offices in this State or at such other places as the commissioner may approve, eligible assets in the amount, if any, as the commissioner may from time to time by regulation or order determine to be necessary for the interests of creditors of the bank's business in this State, or for the protection of the public interest. However, in no event shall the amount exceed 108 percent of the adjusted liabilities of the bank's business in this State. d.
