(a) If the Commissioner shall find at any time that any bond required under this act is insecure or exhausted, an additional bond to be approved by the Commissioner shall be filed by the licensee within ten (10) days after written demand therefor by the Commissioner.

(b) In lieu of any bond required under this act, the licensee may deposit with the Commissioner securities with a ready market value equal to the amount of any such bond. Such securities shall consist of (1) general obligations of or fully guaranteed by the United States or of any agency or instrumentality of or corporation wholly owned by the United States directly or indirectly; or (2) direct general obligations of the State of Oklahoma, or of any county, city, town, school district, or other political subdivision or municipal corporation of the State of Oklahoma. Such securities shall be held by the Commissioner to secure the same obligation as would any bond, required by this act. The securities so deposited may be exchanged from time to time for other securities receivable as aforesaid. All said securities shall be subject to sale, and transfer and to the disposal of the proceeds by said Commissioner only on the order of a court of competent jurisdiction. So long as the licensee so depositing shall continue solvent, such licensee shall be permitted to receive the interest or dividends on said deposit. The Commissioner may provide for custody of such securities by any qualified trust company or bank located in the State of Oklahoma or by any Federal Reserve Bank. The compensation, if any, of the custodian for acting as such under this section shall be paid by the depositing licensee.
