secured, in whole or in part, by the undertaking of another person fails to prove and file that
claim, such other person may do so in the creditor's name and shall be subrogated to the rights of
the creditor, whether the claim has been filed by the creditor or by the other person in the
creditor's name, to the extent that the other person discharges the undertaking; except that, in the
absence of an agreement with the creditor to the contrary, the other person shall not be entitled to
any distribution until the amount paid to the creditor on the undertaking plus the distributions
paid on the claim from the insurer's estate to the creditor equals the amount of the entire claim of
the creditor. Any excess received by the creditor shall be held by the creditor in trust for such
other person. The term "other person", as used in this section, does not apply to a guaranty
association or foreign guaranty association.
