Agree with the comment below. The MBIA-wrapped bonds will not be in default. By subrogation, MBIA will have rights of a creditor of a defaulted entity, though, to recoup any payments it makes to the bondholders. Also, if there are unwrapped bonds elsewhere in the capital structure, such bonds will likely suffer (true) default.
