. Policy forms and any amendments thereto shall be filed with
the commissioner within 30 days after their use in this state by the
financial guaranty insurance corporation.
(a) (1) Every policy shall provide that, in the event of a payment
default or insolvency of the obligor, there shall be no acceleration
of the payments required to be made under the policy with respect to
guarantied obligations except at the option of the financial
guaranty insurance corporation.
(2) Notwithstanding paragraph (1), the following provisions apply:
(A) A policy may insure amounts payable under a credit default
swap or interest rate, currency, or other swap upon a credit event or
termination event if the expected amount payable on an accelerated
basis in respect of any individual obligation referenced by a credit
default swap or in the aggregate under an interest rate, currency, or
other swap does not exceed the single risk limits prescribed in
subdivision (e) of Section 12115.
(B) A policy insuring a credit default swap referencing an
obligation shall be treated as if the insurer had directly insured
the referenced obligation for all other purposes of this article,
including, without limitation, contingency reserve requirements,
except that the currency of amounts owed under the credit default
swap, rather than the currency of the obligations referenced by the
credit default swap, shall apply for purposes of determining whether
the obligation is a permissible guaranty under subdivision (b) of
Section 12112.
(b) Every policy shall contain a statement that in the event the
insurer were to become insolvent, any claims arising under a policy
of financial guaranty insurance are excluded from coverage by the
California Insurance Guaranty Association, established pursuant to
Article 15.2 (commencing with Section 1063) of Chapter 1 of Part 2 of
Division 1.
(c) The commissioner may prescribe additional minimum policy
provisions determined by the commissioner to be necessary or
appropriate to protect policyholders, claimants, obligees, or
indemnitees.
