The New York bond insurer believes its business with Bear Stearns is structured "to protect Ambac from any material loss."

Bear Stearns agreed to be bought for $2 per share by JPMorgan Chase & Co. in a government-backed rescue of the bank.

Ambac has been forced to increase its capital base to cover the likelihood of higher default claims on mortgage-backed bonds.
