a final executed copy of all material agreements, instruments or documents, including, without limitation, opinions of Delaware legal

that have been entered into or that have been required to effectuate the SPFC contract or the special purpose financing transaction.

Commissioner. The following are not considered material changes:

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

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.

eliminate 1 or more protected cells under a single certificate of authority upon approval by the Commissioner of a plan of operation
