(b) As soon as reasonably practicable after the closing of each SPFC contract or special purpose financing transaction, and, in any event, within 30 days after such closing, the special purpose financial captive insurance company shall provide to the Commissioner a final executed copy of all material agreements, instruments or documents, including, without limitation, opinions of Delaware legal counsel regarding compliance of the SPFC contract and the special purpose financing transaction with the requirements of this chapter, that have been entered into or that have been required to effectuate the SPFC contract or the special purpose financing transaction.
(c) Any material change of the special purpose financial captive insurance company's plan of operation requires prior approval of the Commissioner. The following are not considered material changes:
(1) If approved in the plan of operation, securities subsequently issued or entered into to continue the activities of the special purpose financial captive insurance company either before or after expiration, redemption or satisfaction of part or all of the securities issued or entered into pursuant to the initial special purpose financing transaction; and
(2) If a swap transaction has been approved in the plan of operation, a change or substitution of a swap counterparty, if, at the time of the change or substitution, the replacement swap counterparty carries the same or a higher rating than its predecessor from 2 or more nationally recognized rating agencies.
(d) Upon termination or cancellation of all of the SPFC contracts and all related special purpose financing transactions set forth in a plan of operation, unless otherwise approved by the Commissioner, the certificate of authority granted by the Commissioner terminates, and the special purpose financial captive insurance company may not enter into any further or additional SPFC contracts or special purpose financing transactions.
(e) In the case of a special purpose financial captive insurance company organized as a sponsored captive insurance company, upon termination or cancellation of all of the SPFC contracts and all related special purpose financing transactions set forth in the plan of operation with respect to a protected cell, unless otherwise approved by the Commissioner, the authority granted by the Commissioner with respect to that particular cell terminates, and the protected cell may not enter into any further or additional SPFC contracts or special purpose financing transactions.
(f) A special purpose financial captive insurance company that is organized as a sponsored captive insurance company may add or eliminate 1 or more protected cells under a single certificate of authority upon approval by the Commissioner of a plan of operation specific to the protected cells.
