The amendments introduce definitions for first-loss and pari-passu coverage schemes, establish risk weightings for protection providers, and mandate specific documentation for loan files, including appraisals and verification reports. Additionally, the resolution updates capital requirement calculations to recognize these guarantee schemes and sets procedures for additional provisions and liquidity loans.

Regarding repo operations, the Societies must determine prior to the risk-weighted credit calculation, the result of subtracting from the repo debtor balance, the corresponding fair value of the collateral received in each operation, referred to in the Accounting Criteria contained in Annex E of these provisions. In case the obtained result is positive, said difference will be multiplied by the weighting corresponding to the risk group of the counterparty.

For the purposes of what is stated in this article, the Societies may deduct from the total amount of each credit, up to 100% of the money deposits constituted by the borrower themselves or by third parties who are members of the Society, that meet the conditions to be considered a guarantee in terms of what is stipulated by Annex C, Section V of these provisions. The amount to be deducted cannot exceed the outstanding balance of the credit.

Likewise, the Societies may recognize the coverage provided by the First Loss Coverage Scheme or the Step-by-Step Coverage Scheme. In order to determine the weightings corresponding to the operations covered by said schemes, the Societies must comply with the following:

I.

To the covered portion, which may be up to 100%, the risk weighting corresponding to that of the Protection Provider will be assigned, while for the rest of the operation, the procedure will follow what is established in the second paragraph of this article, in accordance with what is indicated below, and subsequently, it must be multiplied by 8% to determine the corresponding capitalization requirement. Only the following Protection Providers will be eligible, both in the case of the First Loss Coverage Scheme and in the Step-by-Step Coverage Scheme or proportional:

a)

Group 1 (Weighting of 0%):

Development banking institutions.

National Financial Institution for Agricultural, Rural, Forestry and Fisheries Development, or the one that replaces it.

II.

In the case of the First Loss Coverage Scheme for credit portfolios, the Societies must adhere to the following:

a)

If the amount of said coverage is equal to or greater than the sum of the capital requirements of the credits that make up the portfolio, no capital will be required for the entirety of the individual credits as there is no uncovered portion. For the part covered by the First Loss Coverage Scheme, capital will be required in accordance with the credit risk before the guarantor. In this case, the covered part is equal to the sum of the capital requirements of the individual credits.

b)

If the amount of the coverage is less than the aforementioned sum of capital requirements for the individual credits, the Society will constitute capital for the uncovered part for an amount equal to the difference between both concepts. For the part covered by the First Loss Coverage Scheme, capital will be required in accordance with the credit risk before the guarantor. In this case, the covered part is equal to the value of the First Loss Coverage Scheme.

III.

In the case of guarantees under the Step-by-Step Coverage Scheme, where the guarantee does not cover the entirety of the exposure and, in addition, the covered and uncovered portions have the same precedence, reductions in total capitalization requirements will be allowed proportionally, that is, the covered part of the position will receive the treatment applicable to admissible guarantees and the remainder will be considered as unsecured.

PROCEDURE FOR THE QUALIFICATION AND CONSTITUTION OF PREVENTIVE ESTIMATES

I. Consumer credit portfolio

Societies must qualify and constitute the corresponding preventive estimates for their consumer credit portfolio, with figures as of the last day of each calendar month, adjusting to the following procedure:

a) They must classify the entirety of their consumer credit portfolio, based on the number of days of delay or delinquency elapsed from the day of the first amortization of the credit, which has not been covered by the borrower as of the date of qualification.

b) Likewise, they must classify their credit portfolio into Type 1 and Type 2 as follows:

Type 1 Portfolio, that credit portfolio with respect to which it is not estimated probable that the debtor will default on its credit obligations to the Society, and is not within the circumstances of being considered as "troubled portfolio".

Type 2 Portfolio, that credit portfolio whose credits it is probable that the debtor will default on its credit obligations to the Society, updating such circumstance when it determines that any of the credits owed by the debtor constitutes "troubled portfolio". Once a credit has been classified as Type 2 Portfolio, it will remain in that classification until its liquidation.

For the purposes of what is established in items 1 and 2 above, "troubled portfolio" shall be understood as that constituted by consumer credits with respect to which it is determined that, based on current information and facts, as well as in the credit review process, there is a considerable probability that they cannot be recovered in their entirety, both their principal amount and interest, as established in the contract. Likewise, it will be "troubled portfolio" that which, having undergone restructuring or renewal, becomes past due portfolio in accordance with what is established in the Accounting Criteria. Both the performing and past due portfolios are susceptible to being identified as troubled portfolio.

c ) For each stratum and type of portfolio, they must maintain and constitute the preventive estimates resulting from applying to the total amount of their consumer credit portfolio, the percentage of estimates corresponding according to the following table:

b) They must classify their credit portfolio into Type 1 and Type 2 as follows:

Type 1 Portfolio, that with respect to which it is not estimated probable that the debtor will default on its credit obligations to the Society, and is not within the circumstances of being considered as "troubled portfolio".

Type 2 Portfolio, that integrated by credits with respect to which it is probable that the debtor will default on its credit obligations to the Society, updating such circumstance when it determines that any of the credits owed by the debtor constitutes a "troubled portfolio". Once a credit has been classified as Type 2 Portfolio, it will remain in that classification until its liquidation.

For the purposes of what is established in items 1 and 2 above, "troubled portfolio" shall be understood as that constituted by commercial credits with respect to which it is determined that, based on current information and facts, as well as in the credit review process, there is a considerable probability that they cannot be recovered in their entirety, both their principal amount and interest, as established in the contract. Likewise, it will be "troubled portfolio" that which, having undergone restructuring or renewal, becomes past due portfolio in accordance with what is established in the Accounting Criteria.

IV. Housing credit portfolio

Societies must qualify and constitute the corresponding preventive estimates for their housing credit portfolio, with figures as of the last day of each calendar month, adjusting to the following procedure:

a) They must classify the entirety of their housing credit portfolio, based on the number of days of delay or delinquency elapsed from the day of the first amortization of the credit, which has not been covered by the borrower as of the date of qualification.

b) They must classify their credit portfolio into Type 1 and Type 2 as follows:

Type 1 Portfolio, that with respect to which it is not estimated probable that the debtor will default on its credit obligations to the Society, and is not within the circumstances of being considered as "troubled portfolio".

Type 2 Portfolio, that integrated by credits with respect to which it is probable that the debtor will default on its credit obligations to the Society, updating such circumstance when it determines that any of the credits owed by the debtor constitutes "troubled portfolio". Once a credit has been classified as Type 2 Portfolio, it will remain in that classification until its liquidation.

For the purposes of what is established in items 1 and 2 above, "troubled portfolio" shall be understood as that constituted by housing credits with respect to which it is determined that, based on current information and facts, as well as in the credit review process, there is a considerable probability that they cannot be recovered in their entirety, both their principal amount and interest, as established in the contract. Likewise, it will be "troubled portfolio" that which, having undergone restructuring or renewal, becomes past due portfolio in accordance with what is established in the Accounting Criteria. Both the performing and past due portfolios are susceptible to being identified as troubled portfolio.

Days of Delinquency Percentage (%) of preventive estimates Type 1 Portfolio Percentage (%) of preventive estimates Type 2 Portfolio 0 0.35 2 1 to 30 1.05 5 31 to 60 2.45 10 61 to 90 8.75 20 91 to 120 17.50 30 121 to 150 33.25 45 151 to 180 34.30 60 181 to 1460 70 80 More than 1460 100 100

The amount subject to qualification shall not include accrued but uncollected interest, recorded in the balance sheet, of credits that are in past due portfolio.

Societies may only constitute the preventive estimates referred to in this Section IV, for the part of the amount of their credits that is covered, with mortgage guarantees duly registered in their name, being applicable to them the percentage corresponding according to the previous table, while to the uncovered part corresponds a percentage of 100%, without the recognition of real estate guarantees being applicable, provided for in Section V of this Annex.

In those credits intended for remodeling or improvement of housing that do not have a mortgage guarantee duly registered in the name of the Society, to qualify and constitute the corresponding preventive estimates, they must apply the table referred to in Section I of this Annex, as appropriate.

V. Adjustments to preventive estimates and recognition of guarantees

Societies may only recognize reductions in the days of delinquency of credits that have been subject to restructuring or renewal, once there is sustained payment in accordance with what is established in the Accounting Criteria. When making such reductions, they will adjust to the policies that the Society itself has approved for such effect.

When Societies have guarantees that comply with what is provided in Annex C Bis 1, Section I of these provisions, they may reduce the percentage of preventive estimates of the credit or credits in question, taking the necessary measures so that the guarantee can be adjudicated and executed at the moment that defaults occur on the part of the borrower, placing them in past due portfolio, in accordance with what is established in the Accounting Criteria. The uncovered part will maintain the percentage of preventive estimates corresponding to it.

Societies may only recognize reductions in the days of delinquency derived from the application of personal and non-financial real guarantees of credits that have been subject to restructuring or renewal when there is sustained payment, and must take the necessary measures so that the guarantee can be adjudicated and executed at the moment that defaults occur on the part of the borrower, placing them in past due portfolio, in accordance with what is established in the Accounting Criteria. In case that the efforts for the adjudication and execution of the guarantee do not begin at the moment the credit is classified as past due portfolio, the Societies must cease to recognize the coverage provided by said guarantee and assign the preventive estimates corresponding to the days of delinquency registered.

The guarantees constituted in terms of the previous paragraph, may cover the total or a determined percentage of the outstanding balance of one or more credits when in the deposit contracts or in the modifications to them it is provided that there is no possibility of making withdrawals or disposing of said guarantees during the validity of the credits, and that these can be covered from such deposits or values.

Societies, when qualifying credits that have 2 or more guarantees, may recognize the coverage of said guarantees considering the following:

a) They will determine the part of the balance that is covered by 2 or more guarantees, whether they are means of payment with immediate liquidity, non-financial guarantees, or Step-by-Step Coverage Scheme or First Loss Coverage Scheme, as well as the exposed or uncovered portion in the terms described.

b) The covered part of the credit balance can be divided into 2 or more segments, based on the type of guarantees that have been granted, when they adjust to the following:

If there are 2 or more Step-by-Step Coverage or First Loss Coverage schemes, each guarantor must respond for the guaranteed part of the credit balance, provided that there are no exceptions or defenses of priority order in collection among the guaritons themselves.

If there are 2 or more guarantees constituted with means of payment with liquidity

immediate or non-financial guarantees, each of them must cover the guaranteed portion of the credit balance, provided that it has been expressly and irrevocably agreed in the contracts giving rise to the guarantee as to the portion of the credit that will remain guaranteed with each encumbered asset.

In the case of combinations of the Step-and-Measure Coverage Scheme or the First Loss Coverage Scheme and payment instruments with immediate liquidity or non-financial guarantees, each of them may be considered, provided that they are enforceable at the time of rating and meet the requirements established in items a) and b) of this Section.

Upon receiving guarantees whose validity is subject to compliance with terms and conditions by the Creditor Society and the latter fails to comply with such terms and conditions, the guarantee shall not be considered for the purposes of this Section.

Societies may not simultaneously apply the Step-and-Measure Coverage Scheme or the First Loss Coverage Scheme and payment instruments with immediate liquidity or non-financial guarantees from the same guarantor.

Societies may choose not to recognize guarantees if this results in higher preventive estimates.

The credit balance for portfolio rating purposes shall not include accrued but uncollected interest on credits in default, as these shall be reserved separately applying a 100% estimate.

Regarding guarantees constituted with payment instruments with immediate liquidity provided for in Annex C Bis 1, Section I, items a), b), c) and d) of these provisions, to which it can be ensured that such resources are applied to the entire outstanding balance or to a certain percentage of the outstanding credit balance, Societies may exempt the portion of the credit covered by such guarantees from the establishment of preventive estimates.

Regarding guarantees constituted with payment instruments with immediate liquidity provided for in Annex C Bis 1, Section I, items e) and f) of these provisions, to which it can be ensured that such resources are applied to the entire outstanding balance or to a certain percentage of the outstanding credit balance, Societies shall establish estimates corresponding to a percentage of 0.5% for the covered portion.

In the event that Societies are beneficiaries under the First Loss Coverage Scheme for a credit or for a portfolio of identified credits with similar characteristics, they shall apply the following procedure:

a)

Ensure that the credits comprising the portfolio covered by the received guarantee are clearly identified and have similar characteristics.

b)

Calculate the estimate requirement for the credit, or for each of the credits in the covered portfolio according to the methodologies described in Sections I to IV of this Annex, as applicable, and in the case of credit portfolios, sum the results of each credit to determine the total estimate requirement for said portfolios.

c)

The total estimates calculated according to item b) above shall be compared with the value of the corresponding First Loss Coverage Schemes, in order to adjust as follows:

If the value of the First Loss Coverage Schemes is greater than or equal to the total estimate requirement for the credit or for the portfolio of credits before the recognition of their own guarantees, the Society shall only establish the estimates resulting from multiplying the estimate percentage corresponding to the Protection Provider, in accordance with this Annex, by the amount of estimates required for the credit or portfolio of credits.

If the value of the First Loss Coverage Schemes is less than the total estimate requirement for the credit or portfolio of credits before the recognition of their own guarantees, the Society shall establish estimates for the uncovered portion up to the amount necessary to reach the total of the required estimates, while for the covered portion it shall establish the estimates resulting from multiplying the estimate percentage corresponding to the Protection Provider, in accordance with this Annex, by the amount of the guarantee.

For Societies to recognize guarantees and assign the corresponding reserve to the covered tranches of the credit or portfolio, there must be evidence of compliance with the terms and conditions established by the guarantors regarding the information they require, as well as compliance with the processes established in the corresponding contracts.

Regarding the Step-and-Measure Coverage Scheme, the Society shall separate the covered portion of the credit or covered portfolio from the uncovered portion, assigning to the former the estimate percentage corresponding to the Protection Provider and to the latter the estimate percentage corresponding to the original borrower, in accordance with this Annex.

In the case of both the First Loss Coverage Scheme and the Step-and-Measure or proportional Coverage Scheme, only the following groups of admissible Protection Providers shall be recognized for portfolio rating purposes:

Group 1:

a)

Development banking institutions.

b)

National Financial Institution for Agricultural, Rural, Forestry and Fisheries Development, or the one that replaces it.

c)

Public trusts that are part of the Mexican banking system in accordance with Article 3 of the Credit Institutions Law.

d)

Trusts entered into specifically for the purpose of sharing credit risk, in which development banking institutions act as settlors and trustees, which have an express guarantee from the Federal Government.

e)

National Guarantee Fund for the Agricultural, Forestry, Fisheries and Rural Sectors, or the one that replaces it.

f)

National Infrastructure Fund, or the one that replaces it.

g)

Entities of the Federal Public Administration under direct budgetary control, state productive enterprises or programs derived from a federal law that are part of the Federal Expenditure Budget.

h)

Funds constituted with resources contributed as guarantee by state or municipal governments that are liquid and irrevocable in favor of the Society.

Group 2:

a)

National multiple banking institutions that have a rating of at least investment grade on the national scale.

b)

Other entities comprising the Mexican financial system, including insurers, that have at least investment grade on the national scale.

c)

Other legal persons or international financial entities that have at least investment grade on the international scale.

Group 3:

a)

Other members of the same Society.

When Protection Providers listed in Group 1 are available, the estimate percentage corresponding to the covered portion shall be 0.5%. Regarding Protection Providers listed in Group 2, an estimate percentage of 1% shall be assigned to the covered portion. In the case of guarantees granted by the persons referred to in Group 3, the estimate percentage corresponding to the maximum days of default that said member records in other credit operations with the Society, other than the one being guaranteed, shall be assigned to the covered portion, applied to the estimate table of the covered operation.

In the event that the uncovered portion corresponds to a lower estimate percentage than that corresponding to the covered portion, as indicated in the previous paragraph, Societies may use the former for the entire operation.

In the case of credits intended to finance the primary activity of the agricultural sector that have crop and livestock insurance, which meet the characteristics referred to in Annex C Bis 1, Section IX, item d) of these provisions, Societies may multiply the estimates corresponding to the direct borrower by a factor of 95%, as long as no insurance claim is filed.

For the purposes of the previous paragraph, "credits to the agricultural and rural sector" shall be understood as those directed to the primary production of the agricultural, livestock, forestry and fishing sectors, as well as to the industrial, commerce and services sectors when these are integrated into the primary activity of the initially mentioned sectors, whose branches and sub-branches of economic activity correspond to those designated as sector 11 of the North American Industry Classification System 2018 (NAICS) of the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI), or the one that replaces it.

In the event that a claim is made to the insurance-granting entity by the lending Society and said entity accepts it without the covered amount having been executed or paid and, therefore, the credit has not been written off from the balance sheet of the Societies, these may calculate the estimates by multiplying the balance of the covered credit by 0.5% when the aforementioned insurance-granting entity has a rating assigned by a rating institution of lower than investment grade on the national scale.

Societies that have non-financial real guarantees covering at least 50% of the outstanding credit balance at the date of calculation of preventive estimates may recognize such guarantees for the purposes of provisioning their credit portfolio up to the amount resulting from multiplying the recognition percentage provided for in the following table by their last appraised value, updated for depreciation in the case of movable goods:

Type of non-financial guarantee or assimilable instrument

Recognition Percentage (%)

Commercial and residential real estate

75

Movable goods and others

50

To determine the estimates corresponding to the covered portion of each credit or portfolio covered with non-financial guarantees and assimilable instruments, a provisioning percentage of 0.5% shall be assigned.

In the administration of movable and immovable property, the Societies must clearly document the characteristics that must be met to be accepted as non-financial guarantees and the policies for their administration, as well as ensure that the goods accepted as collateral are insured in favor of the relevant Society in case of damage or defects, and carry out continuous monitoring of the existence and degree of any preferential right over the property.

VI.

In the risk management of the guarantees referred to in Section III of this Annex, the Societies must:

a)

In the case of real estate, including residential use, related to credits that have been restructured and are considered troubled portfolio, in the terms established in Annex C of these provisions, have an appraisal at least every three years, in accordance with what is established in subsection a) of Section VII of this Annex, where their real existence and current physical state are evidenced, as well as the monitoring of the existence and degree of any preferential right over the property.

b)

In the case of receivables:

Have a clear process to determine the credit risk of the receivables. This process must, among other aspects, include the analysis of the creditor's business and the economic sector in which it operates, considering the effects of the economic cycle, as well as the type of member with whom it negotiates. In case they use information provided by the creditor to evaluate the credit risk of the members, the Societies must examine the creditor's credit history to corroborate its strength and credibility.

Ensure that the margin or appraisal between the credit amount and the value of the receivables reflects all timely factors including the cost of adjudication, the degree of concentration of receivables from a single creditor, and the concentration risk with respect to the total positions of the relevant Society.

Carry out a continuous and adequate monitoring process for each type of risk, whether direct or contingent, attributable to the guarantee used as coverage. This process must include reports on age, control of commercial documents, certification of the debt base, frequent audits of the guarantee, account confirmation, control of income from paid accounts, dilution analysis, and periodic financial analysis of both the creditor and the issuers of the receivables, especially in the case that the guarantee is formed by a reduced number of high-value receivables. Likewise, they must observe the concentration limits that the relevant Society establishes for its guarantees in receivables, as well as the agreements related to the loan in question.

Ensure that the receivables pledged by a creditor are diversified. In case such receivables depend predominantly on the credit quality of the guarantor, the corresponding risks must be taken into consideration when establishing margins for the set of guarantees. Receivables from persons related to the creditor, including subsidiaries and employees, will not be recognized as risk coverages.

Have a documented process for collecting receivables in situations of difficulty, including understanding the services necessary to carry it out, even if the collection work is usually performed by the creditor.

VII.

Appraisals must be carried out by professional appraisers, in accordance with what is established in the Law on Transparency and Promotion of Competition in Secured Credit, in relation to the authorization as a professional appraiser of real estate objects of credits guaranteed for housing, and must be updated according to the policies of the relevant Society.

Regarding commercial real estate:

a)

A valid appraisal must be available, which must be updated at least every three years or with greater frequency when market conditions are unstable at the judgment of the Commission, observing for this effect what is provided in Section VI, subsection a) of this Annex. If as a result of the application of value estimates some properties are identified whose value has decreased and require new valuations, the appraisal must be updated.

b)

When available information suggests that its value may have been significantly reduced compared to general market prices or when any default occurs, the real estate in question will not be considered as a mitigant of credit risk.

VIII.

Goods granted under financial leasing may be recognized receiving the same treatment as admissible non-financial guarantees when the Societies are not subject to residual value risk, which consists in the exposure of said Societies to a potential loss derived from the fall of the fair value of the asset below its estimated residual value at the beginning of the lease. The Societies must comply with the minimum requirements for the type of admissible real guarantee in question and, in addition, must observe the following criteria:

a)

The lessor must carry out adequate risk management in accordance with the location of the asset, its use, its age, and its expected life cycle.

b)

The lessor must have ownership of the asset, as well as the capacity to exercise its rights as owner in a timely manner.

c)

The difference between the depreciation rate of the fixed asset and the amortization rate included in the lease payments must not be significant, in order to avoid overestimating the credit risk coverage attributed to the leased assets.

IX.

Regarding Step-and-Measure Coverage Scheme or First-Loss Coverage Scheme, the Societies must attend to the following.

a)

Have policies, procedures, and internal controls to carry out the coverage analysis that consider, at least, the following:

The periodic evaluation of the credit quality of the entity providing the Step-and-Measure Coverage Scheme or the First-Loss Coverage Scheme. For such purposes, it must consider, at minimum, the monitoring and analysis of the ratings assigned by securities rating agencies.

Regarding the Step-and-Measure Coverage Scheme or the First-Loss Coverage Scheme, they must evaluate the way in which such operations were structured and the ease of their execution considering, where applicable, other direct and contingent obligations borne by the Society or entity providing these.

b)

Have contracts or other instruments that document the constitution of the guarantees in which the assumptions and the procedure to exercise the guarantee are recorded. Regarding this, the contracts, documents, or instruments in which the guarantees are recorded must:

Ensure that the relevant Society maintains the right to enforce the guarantees legally in case of default, insolvency, commercial bankruptcy, or any other similar event, and that the contract or instrument in which they are documented does not contain any clause that allows the Protection Provider to unilaterally cancel the coverage or increase the cost of the guarantee in the event of a deterioration of the credit quality of the covered position.

Be irrevocable and unconditional, so the contracts or instruments in which they are recorded cannot contain any clause that allows the Protection Provider to exempt itself from paying promptly in the case that the original counterparty presents any default. In all cases, the contracts or other documents can only be modified with the agreement of the Society.

Be mandatory for the involved parties and legally enforceable in the corresponding jurisdictions.

Provide that, upon the occurrence of a default or non-payment by the debtor, the Society can immediately initiate actions against the guarantor regarding the pending payment obligations. Likewise, the contracts, documents, or instruments in which the guarantees are recorded must stipulate that the guarantor can make a single payment covering the total amount of the pending obligations borne by the debtor, or can assume the future payment of the obligations borne by the debtor. In all cases, the obligation of the guarantor must be established in the documentation formalizing the operation.

c)

Comply with the applicable legal requirements to obtain and maintain the right to exercise the Step-and-Measure Coverage Scheme or the First-Loss Coverage Scheme, as well as carry out the necessary monitoring with the objective of ensuring compliance with said requirements.

d)

Not recognize the Step-and-Measure Coverage Scheme or the First-Loss Coverage Scheme that are granted reciprocally between who provides any of these risk mitigation techniques and the Society itself.

e)

Reveal in notes to the financial statements the way in which they use the Step-and-Measure Coverage Scheme or the First-Loss Coverage Scheme to cover credit risk. This disclosure of information must be published in a general and aggregated manner, highlighting the amount covered by the Step-and-Measure Coverage Scheme or by the First-Loss Coverage Scheme.

f)

Ensure, at least, the following:

That it is an explicitly documented obligation assumed by the guarantor.

That the obligation cannot be unilaterally cancelled by the guarantor.

That the guarantor will cover any type of payment that the debtor is obliged to make by virtue of the legal instrument regulating the operation.

X.

The Societies, regarding credit insurance, must, at least, comply with the following:

The insurance provider must be a specialized institution authorized to grant insurance and have a credit rating equal to or higher than investment grade issued, by at least, one securities rating agency referred to in the Securities Market Law.

The contracts or policies of the coverage schemes must:

i)

Consider the conditions of partial or total default of a creditor.

ii)

Be legally enforceable in the corresponding jurisdiction. For this effect, they must allow the beneficiary Society to enforce the coverage scheme under the agreed conditions and timeframes, unless the relevant Society:

Fails to pay the insurance premium or the consideration corresponding to the granting of the guarantee.

Modifies, without authorization from the granting entity, the coverage scheme or the agreed conditions of the covered credits.

Cancels or transfers the insured credits under conditions different from those agreed, or commits any fraud related to the guaranteed credit.

iii)

Not include clauses that allow the entity granting the coverage scheme:

Cancel or revoke unilaterally, except for what is provided in subsection ii) of this subsection.

Increase the cost of the coverage scheme in the event of a deterioration of the credit quality of the covered position.
