Derivative Instruments | Note 8: Derivative Instruments O v erv i ew MBIA has entered into derivative instruments through its financial guarantee of CDS and for purposes of hedging risks associated with existing assets and liabilities and forecasted transactions. The Company accounts for derivative instruments in accordance with the accounting principles for derivative and hedging activities, which requires that all such instruments be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. Refer to “Note 6: Fair Value of Financial Instruments” for the method of determining the fair value of derivative instruments. U.S. Public Finance Insurance The Company's derivative exposure within its U.S. public finance insurance operations primarily consists of insured interest rate and inflation-linked swaps related to insured U.S. public finance debt issues. These derivatives do not qualify for the financial guarantee scope exception. The Company has also purchased certain investments containing embedded derivatives. All derivatives are recorded at fair value on the Company's consolidated balance sheet s with the changes in fair value recorded o n the Company's consolidated statements of operations within “Unrealized gains (losses) on insured derivatives,” for the insured derivatives, or “Net gains (losses) on financial instruments at fair value and foreign exchange” for the embedded derivatives. S t r u c t u r e d F i n an c e an d I n t e r na t i on a l I n s u r an c e The Company entered into derivative instrument s that it viewed as an extension of its core financial guarantee business but which do not qualify for the financial guarantee scope exception and, therefore, must be recorded at fair value on the balance sheet. These insured CDS contracts, primarily referenc ing corporate, asset-backed, residential mortgage-backed, commercial mortgage-backed, CRE loans and CDO securities, are intended to be held for the entire term of the contract absent a negotiated settlement with the counterparty. Changes in the fair value of derivatives, excluding insured derivatives, are recorded each period in current earnings within “Net gains (losses) on financial instruments at fair value and foreign exchange.” Changes in the fair value of insured derivatives are recorded each period in current earnings within “Net change in fair value of insured derivatives.” The net change in the fair value of the Company's insured derivatives has two primary components: (i) realized gains (losses) and other settlements on insured derivatives and (ii) unrealized gains (losses) on insured derivatives. “Realized gains (losses) and other settlements on insured derivatives” include (i) premiums received and receivable on sold CDS contracts, (ii) premiums paid and payable to reinsurers in respect to CDS contracts, (iii) net amounts received or paid on reinsurance commutations, (iv) losses paid and payable to CDS contract counterparties due to the occurrence of a credit event or settlement agreement, (v) losses recovered and recoverable on purchased CDS contracts due to the occurrence of a credit event or settlement agreement and (vi) fees relating to CDS contracts. The “Unrealized gains (losses) on insured derivatives” include all other changes in fair value of the insured derivative contracts. In certain instances, t he Company's structured finance and international insurance business purchased or issued securities that contain embedded derivatives. In accordance with the accounting guidance for derivative instruments and hedging activities, the balance sheet location of the Company's embedded derivative instruments is determined by the location of the related security. Variable Interest Entities VIEs consolidated by the Company have entered into derivative instrument s primarily consisting of interest rate swaps. Interest rate swaps are entered into to mitigate the risks associated with fluctuations in interest rates or fair values of certain contracts. Asset/Liability Products The Company's asset/liability products business has entered into derivative instrument s primarily consisting of interest rate swaps, cross currency swaps, and CDS contracts. Interest rate swaps are entered into to hedge the risks associated with fluctuations in interest rates or fair values of certain contracts. Cross currency swaps are entered into to hedge the variability in cash flows resulting from fluctuations in foreign currency rates. CDS contracts are entered into to hedge credit risk or to replicate investments in cash assets consistent with the Company's risk objectives and credit guidelines for its asset management business. In certain instances, t he Company's asset/liability products business purchased or issued securities that contain embedded derivatives. In accordance with the accounting guidance for derivative instruments and hedging activities, the balance sheet location of the Company's embedded derivative instruments is determined by the location of the related security. Changes in the fair value of the Company's asset/liability products business derivatives are recorded on the Company's consolidated statements of operations within “Net gains (losses) on financial instruments at fair value and foreign exchange”. Credit Derivatives Sold The following table s present information about credit derivatives sold by the Company's insurance operations that were outstanding as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. Credit ratings represent the lower of underlying ratings assigned to the collateral by Moody's, S&P or MBIA.

Counterparty Credit Risk The Company manages counterparty credit risk on an individual counterparty basis through master netting agreements covering derivative instruments in the a sset/l iability p roducts segment. There are no master netting agreements in the s tructured f inance and i nternational i nsurance or the U.S. p ublic f inance insurance segments. The master netting agreements in the a sset/l iability p roducts segment allow the Company to contractually net amounts due from a counterparty with those amounts due to such counterparty when certain triggering events occur. The Company only executes swaps under master netting agreements, which typically contain mutual credit downgrade provisions that generally provide the ability to require assignment or termination in the event either MBIA or the counterparty is downgraded below a specified credit rating. Under these arrangements, the Company may receive or provide U.S. Treasury and other highly rated securities or cash to secure counterparties' exposure to the Company or its exposure to counterparties, respectively. Such collateral is available to the holder to pay for replacing the counterparty in the event that the counterparty defaults. As of June 30, 2013, the Company did not hold cash collateral to derivative counterparties but posted cash collateral to derivative counterparties of $223 million. Of this amount, $151 million is netted within “Derivative liabilities”, $16 million is included within “Other liabilities” as cash collateral netted against accrued interest on derivative liabilities and an additional $56 million is included in “Other assets” on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2012, the Company did not hold cash collateral to derivative counterparties but posted cash collateral to derivative counterparties of $285 million. Of this amount, $203 million is netted within “Derivative liabilities”, $16 million is included within “Other liabilities” as cash collateral netted against accrued interest on derivative liabilities and an additional $66 million is included in “Other assets” on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company did not post securities to derivative counterparties. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the fair value on one positive Credit Support Annex (“CSA”) was $3 million and $4 million, respectively. This CSA governs collateral posting requirements between MBIA and its derivative counterparties. The Company did not receive collateral due to the Company's credit rating, which was below the CSA minimum credit ratings level for holding counterparty collateral. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the counterparty was rated A2 by Moody's and A by S&P. Financial Statement Presentation The fair value of amounts recognized for eligible derivative contracts executed with the same counterparty under a master netting agreement, including any cash collateral that may have been received or posted by the Company, is presented on a net basis in accordance with accounting guidance for the offsetting of fair value amounts related to derivative instruments. Insured CDSs and insured swaps are not subject to master netting agreements. VIE derivative assets and liabilities are not presented net of any master netting agreements. As of June 30, 2013, the total fair value of the Company's derivative assets, after counterparty netting of $59 million, was $12 million, of which $4 million was reported within “Other assets” and “Other assets” presented under “Assets of consolidated variable interest entities” on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. Embedded derivatives of $8 million were reported within “Medium-term notes” on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2013, the total fair value of the Company's derivative liabilities, after counterparty netting of $59 million and cash collateral posted by the Company of $151 million was $1.7 billion, which was reported within “Derivative liabilities” and “Derivative liabilities” presented under “Liabilities of consolidated variable interest entities” on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. Embedded derivatives of $30 million were reported within “Medium-term notes” on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. Counterparty netting of derivative assets and liabilities offsets balances in “Interest rate” and “Currency swaps” in the table below. The following table presents the total fair value of the Company's derivative assets and liabilities by instrument and balance sheet location, before counterparty netting and posting of cash collateral, as of June 30, 2013:
