Funds that are held pursuant to a contract with provisions that require the funds to be collateralized at 100 percent, if the funds are deposited into an account that is separate from other accounts of the holder of the funds and the public official and the financial institution in which the funds are deposited have entered into a written agreement that provides a perfected security interest to the public official in collateral valued at an amount at least equal to the amount of funds in the account, in a manner substantially similar to a pledge agreement described in ORS 295.001 (17).

Funds that are held by a trustee or escrow agent, whether commingled with other moneys or in a segregated account, if the trust or escrow agreement provides for collateral or other methods that may be used to secure the moneys that comply with rules or policies adopted by the State Treasurer to protect the funds from loss by the financial institution in which they are deposited.

Notwithstanding subsection (1) of this section, funds deposited by a custodial officer under ORS 294.035 (3)(d) are subject to the provisions of ORS 295.001 to 295.108.
