of the licensee are issued or sold, Two Hundred Fifty Thousand
Dollars ($250,000.00) for sixteen (16) to five hundred (500)
locations within this state at which checks of the licensee are

one (501) to eight hundred (800) locations within this state at

(800) locations, within this state at which checks of the licensee
are issued or sold, but in no event shall the bond be required to be

($1,500,000.00). A licensee may furnish a bond in the maximum
amount required by this section, or deposit securities equal to such
amount as provided in subsection (b) of Section 2109 of this title,
even though the locations in this state at which checks of the
licensee are issued or sold do not total a number requiring a bond
or a deposit of securities in such maximum amount. Each application
for a license or for the renewal of a license shall be accompanied
by a list of the locations, including agencies, at which the
applicant engages in the business of selling checks in this state.
The bond shall be conditioned that the obligor will faithfully
conform to and abide by the provisions of this act and will honestly
and faithfully apply all funds received and perform all obligations
and undertakings for exchange issued and sold under this act and
will pay to the state and to any person entitled thereto all money
that becomes due and owing to the state or to such person under the
provisions of this act because of any checks or exchange issued or
sold in this state by such licensee. The bond shall remain in force
and effect until canceled by the surety, which cancellation may be
had only upon thirty (30) days' written notice to the Commissioner.
Such cancellation shall not affect any liability incurred or accrued
prior to the termination of such thirty-day period.

In lieu of the corporate surety bond required herein, the
Commissioner may in his discretion permit an approved applicant to
furnish an irrevocable letter of credit from a bank approved in
writing by the Commissioner in the same amount as would be required
for a corporate surety bond. A new irrevocable letter of credit
from a qualifying bank would be required within fifteen (15) days if
the bank originally issuing the irrevocable letter of credit refuses
to continue the letter of credit or is otherwise notified by the
Commissioner that the original bank is no longer qualified to issue
a letter of credit for the purposes described in this section.
