                    Subpart C--Compromise of a Claim
 
Sec. 15.45  Restrictions on the compromise of a claim.

    (a) The NRC may not accept a percentage of a debtor's profits nor 
stock in a debtor corporation in compromise of a claim. In negotiating a 
compromise with a business concern, consideration is given to requiring 
a waiver of the tax-loss-carry-forward and tax-loss-carry-back rights of 
the debtor.
    (b) If two or more debtors are jointly and severally liable, 
collection action is not withheld against one debtor until the other or 
others pay their proportionate share. The amount of a compromise with 
one debtor is not considered a precedent or as morally binding in 
determining the amount which will be required from other debtors jointly 
and severally liable on the claim.
