     (a) may not exceed reserves and undivided earnings;
     (b) may include both member paid-in capital and nonmember paid-in capital;
     (c) are available to cover losses that exceed reserves and undivided earnings;
     (d) are not insured by the national credit union share insurance fund (NCUSIF) or other share or deposit insurers;
     (e) are callable only at the option of the corporate credit union and only if the corporate credit union meets its minimum level of required capital after the funds are called; and
     (f) in the event of liquidation of the corporate credit union, are payable only after satisfaction of all liabilities of the liquidation estate, including uninsured share obligations to the shareholders, the NCUSIF, and membership capital holders.
     (2) (a) A corporate credit union may issue paid-in capital to its members.
     (b) Member paid-in capital must have an initial maturity of 20 years.
     (c) A corporate credit union may not condition membership, services or prices for services on a member's ownership of paid-in capital.
     (d) When a paid-in capital instrument has a remaining maturity of 5 years, the amount of the instrument that may be considered paid-in capital for the purposes of this part is reduced by a constant monthly amortization that ensures the recognition of paid-in capital is fully amortized when the instrument has a remaining maturity of 3 years.
     (e) The terms and conditions of any member paid-in capital instrument must be disclosed to the recorded owner of the instrument at the time the instrument is created and at least annually thereafter.
     (3) A corporate credit union may issue nonmember paid-in capital accounts. However, the corporate credit union may only issue the accounts after approval by the department and the national credit union administration (NCUA), and following an evaluation by the NCUA of the strategic purpose and financial impact of issuing the accounts, the corporate credit union's financial condition and management capabilities, the maturity and capital amortization schedules of the paid-in capital instrument; and the participation, voting, acceleration, redemption, or other rights of the holder.
