  the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the &#147;Calculation of Registration Fee&#148; table in the

  against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
  officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless
  in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be
  governed by the final adjudication of such issue. </P>

  Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
  Sections
  33-770
  through
  33-776
  of the Business Corporation Act
  of the State of Connecticut provide that a corporation may indemnify a director or officer against judgments, fines, penalties, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses actually incurred by him or her, including attorneys' fees, for
  actions brought or threatened to be brought against him or her in his or her capacity as a director or officer, other than actions brought by or in the right of the corporation, when it is determined by certain disinterested parties that he or she
  acted in good faith in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in the corporation's best interest (or in the case of conduct not in his or her official capacity, at least not opposed to the best interests of the corporation). In any
  criminal action or proceeding, it also must be determined that the director or officer had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. A director or officer must be indemnified when he or she is wholly successful on the
  merits or otherwise in the defense of a proceeding or in circumstances where a court determines that he or she is fairly and reasonably entitled to be indemnified. In connection with shareholder derivative suits, a director or officer may not be
  indemnified unless he or she is finally adjudged (a) to have met the relevant standard of conduct described above and (b) not to have received a financial benefit to which he or she was not entitled, whether he or she was acting in his or
  her official capacity.
  We have purchased insurance providing its officers and directors (and their heirs and other legal representatives)
  coverage against certain liabilities arising from any actual or alleged act, error, omission, or breach of duty claimed against them solely by reason of their being such officers and directors and providing coverage for MBIA Inc. against its
  obligation to provide indemnification as required by the above-described statute.

  Item 9. Undertakings.
  (a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
  (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration
  Statement:
  (i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act; and
  (ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the
  most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of
  securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with
  the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the
  effective registration statement; and (iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration
  Statement;
  Provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a
  post-effective amendment by those
  paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the
  Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in
  this Registration Statement;
  provided
  (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
  Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
  (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain
  unsold at the termination of the offering.
  (b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
  liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report
  pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
  at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
  (c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under
  the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is
  against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
  officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless
  in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be
  governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
