4.02    Payments in Respect of Permitted Claims and Surplus Notes.
The Management Services Provider shall, on behalf of the Segregated Account, demand payment from AAC pursuant to Section 1(a) of the Secured Note in the amount of Cash to be paid in connection with any Payment and any payments made on account of Surplus Notes or Junior Surplus Notes as provided in Section 2.05 of this Plan.

4.03    Administrative Claims.
(a)    Submission of Administrative Claims.The Holder of an Administrative Claim shall submit its Administrative Claim to the Management Services Provider or, if directed by the Rehabilitator, to the Rehabilitator, in the same manner as such Holder would submit such Administrative Claim in the ordinary course of business, and in accordance with, and including such information as is required by, the provisions of the underlying instrument(s), contract(s) or arrangement(s) giving rise to such Administrative Claim, if any. Each such Administrative Claim submitted in accordance with this Section shall be referred to as a Pending Administrative Claim.
(b)    Evaluation of Pending Administrative Claims.The Management Services Provider or, in his sole and absolute discretion, the Rehabilitator shall evaluate each Pending Administrative Claim to determine whether such Pending Administrative Claim is a Permitted Claim or whether an Objection should be raised as to such Administrative Claim in accordance with the Payment Guidelines. The Management Services Provider or the Rehabilitator may ask any Holder to supplement its Pending Administrative Claim with further supporting documentation in order to evaluate such Pending Administrative Claim. Upon the determination by the Management Services Provider or the Rehabilitator that a Pending Administrative Claim constitutes a Permitted Claim, such Administrative Claim shall be considered a Permitted Administrative Claim.
(c)    Payment of Administrative Claims.The Segregated Account shall make a Payment to each Holder of a Permitted Administrative Claim, in accordance with normal business practices and in complete satisfaction of such Permitted Administrative Claim, in an amount equal to the dollar amount of such Permitted Administrative Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Management Services Provider may, in its discretion, allow Payments of Permitted Administrative Claims to be made directly by AAC, and such amount shall be deemed to have been paid by the Segregated Account.
4.04    Policy Claims.
Policy Claims shall be submitted, Permitted or Disputed, and Deferred Amounts shall be established, and, in each case, paid as appropriate, according to the procedures set forth in the Payment Guidelines. Holders acting in their capacity as Trustees shall permit, and provide any authorization or direction (but not indemnification) needed for, the Segregated Account, AAC, any Paying Agent and/or DTC to make, process and/or accept any Payments (including, without limitation, Accretion Amounts) as contemplated by the Payment Guidelines.

All Objections are final, and the Claim or the portion thereof in respect of which the Rehabilitator or the Management Services Provider has raised an Objection, as applicable, shall become a Disallowed Claim without order of the Court and no further dispute resolution shall be permitted, unless the Holder of such Disputed Claim follows the dispute resolution procedures set forth in the Payment Guidelines. Upon final determination in accordance with this Plan or the Interim Cash Payment Rules that a Claim is a Disallowed Claim, such determination shall effect a full and complete release and termination of any liabilities, duties, obligations, Liens, other claims, interests, or encumbrances upon the Segregated Account and AAC with respect to such Disallowed Claim.
4.07    Setoffs.
As provided in the Payment Guidelines, the Rehabilitator may set off in whole or in part against Permitted Claims, any Payment, Deferred Amount, Junior Deferred Amount, or any other amount established, paid or payable by or on behalf of the Segregated Account on account of a Permitted Claim.
4.08    Recoveries on Policy Claims.
Notwithstanding the Proceeding, any provisions of the Interim Cash Payment Rules, the Payment Guidelines, this Plan, the Disclosure Statement and/or any amendments and/or or supplements thereto, the Segregated Account shall be entitled, in the Rehabilitator’s sole and absolute discretion, to reduce its obligations under this Plan to the Holders of Permitted Policy Claims by any Recovery Amounts attributable to such Holders or the relevant Insured Obligations, whether by: (i) reducing the amount of any Payments to such Holders; (ii) reducing the Deferred Amount(s) established for such Holders; or (iii) if the applicable Transaction Documents so provide, reducing the current month’s Claim under such Policy. No Holder, Trustee or Beneficial Holder may apply a Recovery Amount in a manner inconsistent with the determination by the Segregated Account pursuant to this Section 4.08 or the Payment Guidelines.
4.09    Reimbursements on Policy Claims.
Notwithstanding the Proceeding, any provisions of the Interim Cash Payment Rules, the Payment Guidelines, this Plan, the Disclosure Statement and/or any amendments and/or supplements thereto, unless waived in writing by the Management Services Provider or the Rehabilitator (following consultation with AAC), AAC shall be entitled to collect any Reimbursement Amounts that it becomes, or is, entitled to receive under the Transaction Documents in relation to any: (i) payments made prior to the Petition Date pursuant to, and in accordance with, the applicable Policy and any related Transaction Documents; (ii) payments made according to the Interim Cash Payment Rules; (iii) Payments made (other than Accretion Amounts); and (iv) other amounts paid by or on behalf of the Segregated Account in respect of an Insured Obligation, and in any case where such payment is made by a Person other than AAC, then in each such case as if AAC had paid such amount under the relevant Policy to the Holder directly.
4.10    Subsequent Adjustments.
If the Rehabilitator or the Management Services Provider determines that any amount of the Cash received by the Holder of a Permitted Claim as a Payment, a payment under the Interim Cash Payment Rules, or any other amount paid by or on behalf of the Segregated Account in respect of a particular Insured Obligation was incorrect, the Rehabilitator or the Management Services Provider may, as necessary to account for such error: (i) recoup from the Holder the amount of such Payments or other amounts paid by the Segregated Account; (ii) adjust the amount of the Cash paid in respect of the relevant Insured Obligation in one or more subsequent Payments of other Permitted Claims; or (iii) reduce the Holder’s then applicable Deferred Amount or Junior Deferred Amount for the relevant Insured Obligation, by following the procedure set forth in the Payment Guidelines. All Subsequent Adjustments are final and no further dispute resolution shall be permitted, unless the Holder of such Permitted Claim follows the dispute resolution procedures set forth in the Payment Guidelines.
4.11    Terminated Trusts.
Notwithstanding the terms of any Transaction Documents to the contrary, at no time throughout the effective duration of this Plan shall any Trustee acting on behalf of and for the benefit of Beneficial Holders, or any other person, be permitted to terminate the trust or an indenture relating to a Policy, or to extinguish or retire, or cause

13




to be extinguished, retired, or terminated, any Insured Obligation insured by such Policy in respect of which a Deferred Amount is continuing, without the express, written consent of AAC and the Rehabilitator. If the terms of the Transaction Documents at any time permit termination, extinguishment or retirement of an Insured Obligation or a trust or indenture, then in such event the Trustee shall, at its election, either (a) continue to serve as Trustee on the same terms and conditions set forth in the Transaction Documents but at rates authorized by the Rehabilitator, or (b) assign all of its rights and obligations under such Transaction Documents to a trustee/agent designated by the Rehabilitator. Where possible, upon termination, extinguishment or retirement of an Insured Obligation or a trust or indenture, it is not the intention of the Rehabilitator to continue the services required of a Trustee beyond those services necessary to effectuate this Plan, including, but not limited to, the effectuation of Recovery Amounts, Reimbursement Amounts, Reconciliations, Payments and Deferred Payments.

8.02    Indemnification and Injunction With Regard to Holders and Sub-Trustee/Agents.
Each Holder acting on its own behalf or acting in its capacity as Trustee, and any party to the Transaction Documents assigned or delegated in whole or in part duties relating to submitting or processing payment of Policy Claims under the related Transaction Documents (each a “Sub-Trustee/Agent”), shall submit any claim for payment under such Policy in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and the Payment Guidelines by completing and submitting the Proof of Policy Claim Form in full (in the form approved by the Rehabilitator). Actions taken in compliance with the Plan and the Payment Guidelines by any such Holder or Sub-Trustee/Agent shall not be deemed to be a violation of any provision in, or duty arising out of, the applicable Policy or related Transaction Documents. The Segregated Account shall indemnify any such Holder acting in its capacity as Trustee and any such Sub-Trustee/Agent, and any Paying Agent retained by the Segregated Account hereunder (each an “Indemnified Party”) for any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket losses and costs, including reasonable attorney fees, incurred in defending any lawsuit, action, or similar formal legal proceeding arising out of their compliance with the Plan and the Payment Guidelines (excluding losses and costs resulting from the negligence, gross negligence or other misconduct of such Indemnified Parties, provided, however, that for purposes of this indemnity, compliance with the Plan and the Payment Guidelines shall not be deemed to constitute negligence, gross negligence, or misconduct) (each a “Third Party Liability”), provided (a) no amounts shall be payable by the Segregated Account to any Indemnified Party to the extent that the same shall be reimbursable to them under or pursuant to the Transaction Documents and (b) any Indemnified Party making a claim for indemnification shall have used its best efforts to cause any such lawsuit, action or similar formal legal proceeding to be brought before the Court as part of this Proceeding.
Any indemnification obligation of the Segregated Account under this provision shall further be subject to the following: promptly upon receipt by any Indemnified Party of notice of any claim or of the commencement or threatened commencement of any action against the Indemnified Party which may constitute a Third-Party Liability, such Indemnified Party will cause notice to be given to the Segregated Account in writing of such claim or such commencement or threatened commencement of action or proceeding, together with a copy of any documents received by the Indemnified Party in connection therewith. In the event that any such claim or action shall be asserted against an Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall consent to the intervention by the Segregated Account in any such suit in order to defend against said claim and/or shall tender to the Segregated Account control of the defense and settlement of such claim or action, and shall cooperate with the Segregated Account in such defense and settlement. The Segregated Account shall at all times have the right to employ counsel to represent both the Indemnified Party and the Segregated Account in any claim or action or proceeding, whether or not the Segregated Account has requested intervention or tender of control; provided that in the event the Segregated Account’s counsel or the Indemnified Party’s counsel determines that there is a legal conflict of interest between the Segregated Account and such Indemnified Party, and neither the Segregated Account nor such Indemnified Party is willing to waive such conflict, then such Indemnified Party shall be entitled to retain one separate counsel, acceptable to the Segregated Account. Until the Segregated Account requests the control of the defense and settlement of such claim or action or unless the Segregated Account has otherwise employed counsel to represent both the Segregated Account and such Indemnified Party, such Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ its own counsel with respect to such lawsuit, action or similar formal legal proceeding, whose reasonable fees and expenses shall be Third-Party Liabilities (provided that the Segregated Account shall in no event be liable for the legal fees and expenses of more than one firm). Such Indemnified Party giving notice and, if requested, tendering defense of the lawsuit or action required by this paragraph are conditions to the Segregated Account’s indemnification obligations hereunder. Further, the Segregated Account shall have no liability for any settlement of any lawsuit or action for which the Segregated Account otherwise agrees herein to indemnify an

16




Indemnified Party unless written notice of such proposed settlement shall have been furnished to the Segregated Account, and the Segregated Account in its sole discretion shall have consented in writing to such settlement.
All persons and entities are enjoined and restrained from commencing or prosecuting any actions, claims, lawsuits or other formal legal proceedings in any state, federal or foreign court, administrative body or other tribunal other than the Court against: (i) any Trustee in respect of such Trustee’s compliance with the Plan and the Payment Guidelines; (ii) any Sub-Trustee/Agent, in respect of such Sub-Trustee Agent’s compliance with the Plan and the Payment Guidelines; and/or (iii) any Paying Agent, in respect of such Paying Agent’s compliance with the Plan and the Payment Guidelines. The Court shall have exclusive jurisdiction over such actions, claims, or lawsuits, which must be raised by motion or other filing in the Proceeding.

EXHIBIT 1
PAYMENT GUIDELINES

PAYMENT GUIDELINES FOR PLAN OF REHABILITATION, AS AMENDED
Date: June 12, 2014
Issued by
the Rehabilitator and the Special Deputy Commissioner
of the Segregated Account of Ambac Assurance Corporation
On March 24, 2010, the Circuit Court for Dane County, Wisconsin (the “Court”) entered a rehabilitation order (the “Rehabilitation Order”), granting the petition of the Commissioner of Insurance of the State of Wisconsin to place the Segregated Account of Ambac Assurance Corporation (the “Segregated Account”) into rehabilitation and to appoint the Commissioner as the Rehabilitator for the Segregated Account (the “Rehabilitator”). On January 24, 2011, the Court issued an order confirming the Plan of Rehabilitation for the Segregated Account, which became effective, following the Amendments, on the Effective Date. Unless otherwise defined herein or in the Plan, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings specified in Exhibit A hereto. Such meanings shall be equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of such terms, unless the context otherwise requires.
In order to facilitate an efficient and orderly process for the submission of Policy Claims and General Claims to the Segregated Account and the evaluation, processing, and payment of Claims by the Segregated Account pursuant to the Plan, the Rehabilitator hereby issues the following rules, procedures and guidelines (as may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time pursuant to the terms hereof, the “Payment Guidelines”). These Payment Guidelines are being posted online at www.ambacpolicyholders.com, and shall be effective on the Effective Date.1 
These Payment Guidelines replace and supersede the Guidelines under Plan of Rehabilitation (Claims Processing for Policy Claims) dated as of February 18, 2011, and the Rules Governing the Submission, Processing and Partial Payment of Policy Claims of the Segregated Account of Ambac Assurance Corporation in Accordance With June 4, 2012 Interim Cash Payment Order (the “Interim Cash Payment Rules”). These Payment Guidelines do not apply to payments relating to financial guaranty policy no. 17548BE, known as the “LVM Policy,” which shall be controlled by the LVM Payment Guidelines dated June 12, 2014, as amended and supplemented from time to time.
For illustration purposes, these Payment Guidelines are accompanied by a series of examples showing, as applicable, the disbursement of Interim Payments, the creation of Deferred Loss Amounts and Accretion Amounts, the reallocation of Deferred Loss Amounts, and the application of Recovery Amounts in three separate contexts: (i) Write Down Transactions; (ii) transactions affected by Undercollateralization; and (iii) Certain Multi-CUSIP Policies. The examples are attached hereto as Exhibits C, D, and E, respectively.

1    Unless otherwise defined herein or in the Plan, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings specified in Exhibit A hereto. Such meanings shall be equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of such terms, unless the context otherwise requires.

21




ARTICLE I
Submission and Processing of Policy Claims
1.1Policy Claims Administration. Pursuant to the Management Services Agreement, the Rehabilitator has engaged the Management Services Provider to assist him and the Segregated Account in processing all Policy Claims. Subject to the oversight and control of the Special Deputy Commissioner and the Rehabilitator, the Management Services Provider is responsible for administering, disputing, objecting to, compromising or otherwise resolving all Policy Claims in accordance with the Plan, these Payment Guidelines and the Segregated Account Operational Documents, together with any other rules or guidelines issued by the Rehabilitator or the Special Deputy Commissioner under any of the foregoing, all existing orders of the Court and the specific directions of the Rehabilitator or the Special Deputy Commissioner.
1.2Submission of Policy Claims. Each Holder of a Policy Claim, whether acting on its own behalf or in its capacity as Trustee, including any Policy Claim arising prior to the Effective Date (but not already submitted to the Management Services Provider in accordance with the provisions of the Interim Cash Payment Rules), shall submit to the Management Services Provider (i) such Policy Claim in accordance with, and including such information as is required by, the provisions of the applicable Policy and any other Transaction Document(s) giving rise to or governing the submission of such Policy Claim, and (ii) a fully completed and duly executed Proof of Policy Claim Form in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B relating to such Policy Claim, including the Claim Schedule referred to therein. Each Holder shall submit all Policy Claims covered by the same Policy and for the same Claim Period on one Proof of Policy Claim Form (and Claim Schedule), and shall therein identify each Insured Obligation (by CUSIP, if any) to which each such Policy Claim relates, as required by the Claim Schedule relating to such Proof of Policy Claim Form. A separate Proof of Policy Claim Form and Claim Schedule shall be submitted for all Policy Claims relating to the same Policy for each Claim Period. Each such Policy Claim submitted in accordance with this Section and Section 1.3, and meeting the requirements of Section 1.4, shall be referred to as a Pending Policy Claim.
1.3Timing for Submission of Policy Claims. A Holder shall not submit a Policy Claim any earlier than permitted under the relevant Policy or other Transaction Document giving rise to or governing the submission of such Policy Claim; provided however, that a Holder shall submit a Policy Claim in a timely manner such that it is determined not to be a Late Claim.
1.4Pending Policy Claim. No Policy Claim shall become a Pending Policy Claim unless the Holder of such Policy Claim fully and properly complies with (i) the requirements of Sections 1.2 and 1.3 hereof, as applicable, (ii) the requirements of the Proof of Policy Claim Form (including the Claim Schedule referred to therein) with respect to such Policy Claim, and (iii) any other guidelines or further directions issued by the Rehabilitator from time to time.
1.5Eligibility of Pending Policy Claims. No Policy Claim shall be eligible to be considered a Permitted Policy Claim on any Payment Date following the date of submission by the Holder (including the first Payment Date to occur after the Effective Date) unless it is a Pending Policy Claim on or prior to 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the last Business Day of the calendar month immediately preceding the calendar month in which such Payment Date occurs, unless the Rehabilitator determines otherwise in his sole and absolute discretion.
1.6Evaluation of Pending Policy Claims. The Management Services Provider shall evaluate each Pending Policy Claim to determine whether the amount set forth in the Proof of Policy Claim Form is a Permitted Policy Claim or whether an Objection should be raised as to such Policy Claim in accordance with Section 4.1 hereof. The Management Services Provider may, from time to time, ask any Holder to supplement its Pending Policy Claim with further supporting documentation in order to evaluate and decide whether to Permit such Pending Policy Claim. Upon the determination by the Management Services Provider and the Rehabilitator that a Pending Policy Claim constitutes a Permitted Claim, such Policy Claim shall be considered a Permitted Policy Claim.
1.7No Re-Submission of Policy Claims. Unless required or permitted by the Rehabilitator, the Segregated Account or the Management Services Provider, a Holder shall not submit a Policy Claim to the Management Services Provider more than once or in more than one Proof of Policy Claim Form, including without limitation, any

22




Policy Claim previously submitted by a Holder to the Management Services Provider or the Segregated Account in accordance with the Interim Cash Payment Rules. For the avoidance of doubt, unless required by the Rehabilitator, the Segregated Account or the Management Services Provider, a Holder may not submit a subsequent Proof of Policy Claim Form for any portion of a Permitted Policy Claim not satisfied pursuant to any Payment, or for any Pending Claim, Disputed Claim, Late Claim or Disallowed Claim.
1.8No Duplicative Recovery. No Holder or Beneficial Holder of any securities insured by a Policy shall be entitled to receive consideration (whether from Payments, Recovery Amounts or other amounts received from any other source) on account of its Permitted Policy Claim that exceeds 100% of the amount of such Permitted Policy Claim, other than Accretion Amounts.
ARTICLE II
Payments on Permitted Policy Claims
2.1Interim Payments. Each Holder of a Permitted Policy Claim shall receive an Interim Payment unless (i) the Court or the Rehabilitator (in his sole and absolute discretion) has permitted an Alternative Resolution of such Permitted Policy Claim, or (ii) the Holder already received an Interim Payment in respect of such Permitted Policy Claim pursuant to the Interim Cash Payment Rules, as contemplated by Section 2.18 of these Payment Guidelines.
2.2Procedure for Interim Payments. If the Management Services Provider, the Rehabilitator or the Court has determined that a Pending Policy Claim constitutes a Permitted Policy Claim, the Segregated Account shall pay to the Holder of such Permitted Policy Claim an Interim Payment in Cash. Any Interim Payment in respect of a Permitted Policy Claim shall be made on the first Payment Date occurring after the Determination Date by which it was determined to be a Permitted Policy Claim. Such Interim Payment shall be paid by the Segregated Account to the account identified by the Holder in the Proof of Policy Claim Form relating to such Permitted Policy Claim; provided that, any Holder acting in its capacity as Trustee shall, in accordance with the provisions of the Transaction Documents relating to such Policy, distribute such Interim Payment (solely in respect of Insured Obligations) on the Bond Distribution Date immediately following the Payment Date on which such Interim Payment was made. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding each Holder’s obligation to submit all Policy Claims covered by the same Policy on one Proof of Policy Claim Form and to identify therein each Insured Obligation (by CUSIP, if any) to which each such Policy Claim relates (as applicable), as set forth in Section 1.2 hereof, on each Payment Date the Rehabilitator or the Segregated Account shall pay to the Holder a single aggregate Interim Payment for all Permitted Policy Claims that relate to the same Policy.
2.3Increases to the Interim Payment Percentage. The Rehabilitator may increase the Interim Payment Percentage from time to time if, based on his analysis of the estimated liabilities and available claims-paying resources of the Segregated Account, the Rehabilitator has determined, in his sole and absolute discretion, that such action is equitable to the interests of the Holders of Policy Claims generally. The Rehabilitator shall announce his intention to increase the Interim Payment Percentage by filing with the Court and posting on the Website an IPP Notice. The Rehabilitator shall determine the amount of any increase in the Interim Payment Percentage in his sole and absolute discretion, based on such analysis. In determining whether an increase in the Interim Payment Percentage is equitable to the interests of the Holders of Policy Claims generally, the Rehabilitator shall consider whether, in conjunction with any such increase, a Deferred Payment should be made under Section 2.7 of these Payment Guidelines.
2.4Deferred Amounts. Unless the Court or the Rehabilitator (in his sole and absolute discretion) has permitted an Alternative Resolution of a Policy Claim, the Rehabilitator shall cause the Segregated Account to establish a Deferred Amount for each Policy in respect of which an Interim Payment has been made or has been deemed to be made pursuant to Section 2.18 of these Payment Guidelines, or in the case of a Policy that insures multiple Insured Obligations, each Insured Obligation insured by such Policy in respect of which an Interim Payment has been made or has been deemed to be made. In the case of Certain Multi-CUSIP Policies, the Deferred Amount relating to such Policies shall be established, allocated and/or paid in a manner that is substantially similar to the procedure shown in the “Reallocation of Deferred Loss Amount Example” attached hereto as Exhibit E, but in each case as determined by the Rehabilitator and communicated by the Management Services Provider to the Holder during the Reconciliation

23




process described in Section 2.5 of these Payment Guidelines. In no event shall an uninsured bondholder receive or be allocated any Deferred Amount or Payment.
With respect to each such Policy or Insured Obligation, as the case may be, the Deferred Amount shall be: (A) as of the first Bond Distribution Date occurring after the first Interim Payment made or deemed made by the Segregated Account in respect of a Permitted Policy Claim relating to such Policy or Insured Obligation, the higher of (i) the amount equal to the Permitted Policy Claim Amount less the amount of any Payment and less any Recovery Amount, in each case established, paid or received with respect to such Policy or Insured Obligation since the immediately preceding Bond Distribution Date, and (ii) zero; and (B) as of each subsequent Bond Distribution Date, the higher of (i) the amount equal to the Deferred Amount as of the immediately preceding Bond Distribution Date, plus any Accretion Amounts accrued since the immediately preceding Bond Distribution Date, plus any Permitted Policy Claim Amount, less the amount of any Payment, less any Recovery Amount, and less any and all amounts which reduce the Deferred Amount pursuant to Sections 2.13, 4.2 and 4.3, in each case in this subparagraph (B)(i), as established, paid or received with respect to such Policy or Insured Obligation since the immediately preceding Bond Distribution Date, and (ii) zero.
2.5Reconciliation of Deferred Loss Amounts. On a semi-annual basis, in accordance with the schedule set forth below, the Management Services Provider, on behalf of the Segregated Account and the Rehabilitator, and any Holders of any outstanding Deferred Amounts, including those acting in their capacity as Trustee, shall reconcile the Deferred Loss Amounts relating to such Permitted Policy Claims. Such reconciliations (each, a “Reconciliation”) shall be completed with respect to each Policy in respect of which there is an outstanding Deferred Amount, or in the case of a Policy that insures multiple Insured Obligations, each Insured Obligation insured by a Policy by CUSIP (if any) in respect of which there is an outstanding Deferred Amount.
Provided that a Holder, and/or its paying agent or calculating agent, as applicable, has complied with any request of the Management Services Provider (as described below), the Management Services Provider shall complete each Reconciliation by delivering, no later than April 1 and October 1 of each year following the Effective Date (or if any such day is not a Business Day, the first Business Day following such day), a Reconciliation Notice relating to each Policy and the Insured Obligations insured thereunder by CUSIP, as the case may be, to the relevant Holder of the related Deferred Amount, using personal delivery, first class mail or electronic mail, showing the Management Service Provider’s calculation, as of the relevant Reconciliation Date (but not including any Payments made on or after such Reconciliation Date), of the Deferred Loss Amounts relating to such Insured Obligation or Policy. The Reconciliation Date for Reconciliation Notices delivered no later than April 1 shall be January 20 (or, if any such Reconciliation Date is not a Business Day, the first Business Day immediately preceding such Reconciliation Date) of the same calendar year, and the Reconciliation Date for Reconciliation Notices delivered no later than October 1 shall be July 20 of the same calendar year (or if any such Reconciliation Date is not a Business Day, the first Business Day immediately preceding such Reconciliation Date); provided, however, that the first Reconciliation Date following the Effective Date of the Plan shall be July 20, 2014, or the first Payment Date thereafter specified by the Rehabilitator, whichever is later. Following delivery of each of the semi-annual Reconciliation Notices contemplated by this Section 2.5, and, as necessary, completion of any dispute resolution proceedings described below, the Rehabilitator will post to the Website a schedule showing all outstanding Deferred Amounts, including the aggregate of all unpaid and outstanding Accretion Amounts.
The Management Services Provider or the Rehabilitator may, from time to time, ask a Holder to promptly provide, or cause its paying agent or calculating agent, as applicable, to promptly provide, information and/or further supporting documentation in order to evaluate a Deferred Loss Amount and/or a Reconciliation and/or in order to assist the Management Services Provider in preparing a Reconciliation Notice. Such Holder, paying agent or calculating agent shall be required to deliver any such information and/or supporting documentation within the time frame specified for delivery of such information in the reasonable request made by the Management Services Provider or the Rehabilitator and Section 2.9 hereof shall apply if the Holder, paying agent or calculating agent does not do so.
If a Holder wishes to dispute, for any reason, a Reconciliation Notice issued by the Management Services Provider, the Holder shall, no later than 45 days after delivery of such Reconciliation Notice (the “Opposition Period”),

24




send to the Management Services Provider a written response to the Reconciliation Notice. Such written response (and any related written communications) shall be delivered by email to:
claimsprocessing@ambac.com
with a copy to:
claimsobjections@ambac.com.
The response must clearly set forth all facts and the legal basis, if any, for the opposition and the reasons why the Reconciliation Notice is incorrect. If no response is sent by the Holder within such Opposition Period, the Reconciliation shall be deemed final as of the relevant Reconciliation Date, and no further dispute resolution shall be permitted. If a response is submitted within such Opposition Period, the Rehabilitator shall resolve such dispute with the Holder in accordance with these Payment Guidelines and communicate such resolution to the Holder in writing. Only in the event that a response is submitted within such Opposition Period by the Holder, and the Management Services Provider issues a written resolution against the Holder (a “Resolution”), shall the Holder have the right to file a motion with the Court asserting that the Reconciliation Notice is incorrect. Any such motion must be filed by the Holder no later than the 30th day after the delivery of such Resolution to the Holder. If no motion is filed by the 30th day after the delivery of such Resolution to the Holder, the Reconciliation shall be deemed final as of the relevant Reconciliation Date and no further dispute resolution shall be permitted. If at any time, pursuant to this Section 2.5, the Reconciliation is deemed final and no further dispute resolution shall be permitted, the Management Services Provider and the Rehabilitator’s calculation of the Deferred Loss Amount shall apply for the purposes of these Payment Guidelines.
2.6Allocation Schedules. To assist with the Reconciliation process contemplated by this Article 2, following the receipt by a Holder of any Payment in respect of a Permitted Policy Claim under the Plan, such Holder receiving such Payment, or its paying agent or calculating agent, as applicable, shall, on or before the Allocation Schedule Deadline, submit to the Management Services Provider, by e-mail to claimsprocessing@ambac.com, a fully completed and duly executed Allocation Schedule in respect of the application of such Payment, in the form attached to the Proof of Policy Claim Form which is set forth in Exhibit B to these Payment Guidelines. Provided that the Allocation Schedule is submitted on or before the Allocation Schedule Deadline, an Allocation Schedule may be submitted either together with a Proof of Policy Claim Form relating to the Policy pursuant to which the relevant Payment was made or separately. The requirement to submit an Allocation Schedule may be waived by the Management Services Provider, in its sole and absolute discretion, if the information required by the Allocation Schedule is contained in a remittance, trust or other report, in a form acceptable to the Management Services Provider.
2.7Deferred Payments. The Rehabilitator may determine to make a Deferred Payment if, based on an analysis of the estimated liabilities and available claims-paying resources of the Segregated Account, the Rehabilitator has determined, in his sole and absolute discretion, that such action is equitable to the interests of the Holders of Policy Claims generally. The Rehabilitator shall announce his intention to make a Deferred Payment, by filing with the Court and posting on the Website a Deferred Payment Notice. The Rehabilitator shall determine the Deferred Payment Percentage in connection with any such Deferred Payment in his sole and absolute discretion, based on such analysis. In determining whether a Deferred Payment is equitable to the interests of the Holders of Policy Claims generally, the Rehabilitator shall consider whether, in conjunction with any such Deferred Payment, among other things, the Interim Payment Percentage should be increased under Section 2.3 of these Payment Guidelines. Deferred Payment Notices shall identify the Deferred Payment Percentage and the anticipated Deferred Payment Date for the Deferred Payment.
2.8Surplus Note Payments. On or about the Deferred Payment Date when any Deferred Payment is made, the Segregated Account shall pay the holder of each outstanding Surplus Note an amount equal to the product of (i) the Deferred Payment Percentage applicable to such Deferred Payment and (ii) the sum of the principal and accrued but unpaid interest outstanding, as of the immediately preceding Reconciliation Date, under each such Surplus Note. Any such payment shall be applied in accordance with the terms of the Surplus Notes and any applicable fiscal agency agreement, and shall be deemed approved by OCI in accordance with Wis. Stat. § 611.33(2)(d).

25




2.9Eligibility for Deferred Payments. A Holder of a Permitted Policy Claim shall not be eligible to receive a Deferred Payment announced by the Rehabilitator pursuant to these Payment Guidelines until the later of the relevant Deferred Payment Date and the Payment Date following the first Determination Date on which (i) it and each Beneficial Holder of the Insured Obligation relating to such Permitted Policy Claim, and any paying agent or calculating agent, as applicable, are not in violation of the Plan, the Injunction, these Payment Guidelines, or any other order of the Court relating to the Segregated Account, (ii) all Reconciliations of Deferred Loss Amounts relating to such Insured Obligation have been finally determined in accordance with these Payment Guidelines, and (iii) it, or its’ paying agent or calculating agent, as applicable, has provided all information and supporting documentation reasonably requested by the Rehabilitator and the Management Services Provider pursuant to these Payment Guidelines.
2.10Procedure for Deferred Payments. For each Holder eligible to receive a Deferred Payment announced by the Rehabilitator pursuant to Section 2.7, as determined by the Rehabilitator in his sole and absolute discretion, the Segregated Account shall, on or before the Deferred Payment Date, in satisfaction of its liabilities under the Permitted Policy Claim (insofar as they relate to the portion of such Deferred Payment Amount attributable to the Deferred Loss Amount), pay the Deferred Payment relating to such Insured Obligation to the relevant Holder or a Paying Agent, as applicable, in an amount equal to the product of (i) the Deferred Payment Percentage announced by the Rehabilitator and (ii) the sum of (y) the Deferred Loss Amount set forth in the most recent Reconciliation Notice (or, if a Holder has disputed a Reconciliation Notice in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.5 of these Payment Guidelines, the Deferred Loss Amount determined as a result of such dispute resolution procedures) and (z) the aggregate of all outstanding Accretion Amounts posted by the Rehabilitator to the Website pursuant to Section 2.5 of these Payment Guidelines. Any Holder acting in its capacity as Trustee shall, on the Bond Distribution Date immediately following the Deferred Payment Date on which the Deferred Payments were made, distribute to the Beneficial Holders all Deferred Payment Amounts (a) in respect of Deferred Loss Amounts, in accordance with the most recent Reconciliation Notice (or, if a Holder has disputed a Reconciliation Notice in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.5 of these Payment Guidelines, then in accordance with the result of such dispute resolution procedures), and (b) in respect of Accretion Amounts, in accordance with the written direction of the Management Services Provider, on behalf of the Rehabilitator. If any Accretion Amounts are paid to a Holder in its capacity as Trustee or other paying agent for and on behalf of Beneficial Holders, such Holder shall establish a separate account solely for the purpose of paying Accretion Amounts and such amounts shall not be paid to or through any trust or REMIC to any Beneficial Holder.
2.11Paying Agent Obligations. If, in accordance with the Plan, the Segregated Account has retained and elects to use (in the sole and absolute discretion of the Rehabilitator) a Paying Agent in connection with any Deferred Payment relating to an Insured Obligation, then the Paying Agent, unless otherwise directed by the Rehabilitator, shall: (i) on the Deferred Payment Date, distribute all Deferred Payment Amounts in respect of Deferred Loss Amounts relating to such Insured Obligation to the Holder of the relevant Permitted Policy Claim using the account information provided in the most recent Proof of Policy Claim Form, and such Holder shall then distribute such Deferred Loss Amounts to the Beneficial Holders of such Insured Obligations to which such Deferred Loss Amounts apply; and (ii) on or before the next occurring Bond Distribution Date relating to the relevant Insured Obligation, distribute any Deferred Payment Amounts in respect of Accretion Amounts directly to the then-current (or, when a Deferred Loss Amount has been reduced to zero, the last) Beneficial Holders of the Insured Obligation via DTC or in such other manner that is reasonably available to the Paying Agent. All Trustees shall permit, and provide any authorization, direction or special direction (but not indemnification) needed for, the Segregated Account, AAC, any Paying Agent and/or DTC to make, process and/or accept any Payments (including, without limitation, Accretion Amounts) contemplated by these Payment Guidelines.
2.12Reimbursements on Policy Claims. Notwithstanding the Proceeding, any provisions of the Interim Cash Payment Rules, the Plan, the Disclosure Statement and/or any amendments thereto, unless waived in writing by the Management Services Provider or the Rehabilitator (following consultation with AAC), AAC shall be entitled to collect any Reimbursement Amounts that it becomes, or is, entitled to receive under the Transaction Documents in relation to any: (i) payments made prior to the Petition Date pursuant to, and in accordance with, the applicable Policy and any related Transaction Documents; (ii) payments made according to the Interim Cash Payment Rules; (iii) Payments made (other than Accretion Amounts); and (iv) other amounts paid by or on behalf of the Segregated Account in respect

26




of an Insured Obligation, and in any case where such payment is made by a Person other than AAC, then in each such case as if AAC had paid such amount under the relevant Policy to the Holder directly.
2.13Recoveries on Policy Claims. Notwithstanding the Proceeding, any provisions of the Interim Cash Payment Rules, these Payment Guidelines, the Plan, the Disclosure Statement and/or any amendments or supplements thereto, the Segregated Account shall be entitled, in the Rehabilitator’s sole and absolute discretion, to reduce its obligations under the Plan to the Holders of Permitted Policy Claims by any Recovery Amounts attributable to such Holders or the relevant Insured Obligations, whether by: (i) reducing the amount of any Payments to such Holders; (ii) reducing the Deferred Amount(s) established for such Holders in accordance with Section 2.4 of these Payment Guidelines; or (iii) if the applicable Transaction Documents so provide, reducing the current month’s Claim under such Policy. No Holder, Trustee or Beneficial Holder may apply a Recovery Amount in a manner inconsistent with the determination by the Segregated Account pursuant to this Section 2.13.
2.14Supplemental Payments. The Rehabilitator may, at any time, direct the Management Services Provider to make a Supplemental Payment to any Holder of a Permitted Policy Claim. Supplemental Payments may be made in one lump sum, or in varying proportions in certain months or time periods as appropriate, and may include, on a case-by-case basis, payments of all or a portion of any Deferred Amount. The Rehabilitator shall use his (sole and absolute) discretion to monitor and manage Supplemental Payments to maximize Reimbursement Amounts, and to minimize Supplemental Payments in excess of the available reimbursements.
2.15Special Policy Payments. The Rehabilitator may, at any time, direct the Management Services Provider to make a Special Policy Payment. Special Policy Payments may be made in one lump sum, or in varying proportions in certain months or time periods as appropriate, and may include, on a case-by-case basis, payments of all or a portion of any Deferred Amount.
2.16Assignment of Rights. Without prejudice to (i) the terms and provisions of the applicable Policy and any related Transaction Document and (ii) any assignment previously executed, whether pursuant to a Proof of Policy Claim Form or otherwise, upon receipt of any Payment or any other amount paid by or on behalf of the Segregated Account, each Holder (for and on behalf of its Beneficial Holders, if such Holder is a Trustee) of such Permitted Policy Claim shall be deemed to have assigned its rights relating to the amount of such Payment under the Transaction Document(s) to AAC.
2.17Payments of ACP Obligations. Any Payment made in respect of a Permitted Policy Claim that relates to an obligation of ACP under a related credit default swap shall be deemed payment by ACP of its obligations under such related credit default swap to the extent of such Payment.
2.18Treatment of Policy Claims Paid Prior to the Effective Date. On the Effective Date, each Policy Claim paid pursuant to the Interim Cash Payment Rules shall be deemed to be Permitted under the Plan, effective as of the date of such payment. In all respects, such Policy Claim shall be treated in a manner consistent with the treatment of other Permitted Policy Claims under the Plan. By way of example only, any payment made pursuant to the Interim Cash Payment Rules (other than a Supplemental Payment or a Special Policy Payment) shall be deemed to have been an Interim Payment, and a Deferred Amount shall be established and calculated for such Claim in accordance with Section 2.4 of these Payment Guidelines, including Accretion Amounts commencing on the next Bond Distribution Date after which the first Interim Payment was deemed to be paid (regardless of whether or when such Deferred Amount is ultimately paid by a Deferred Payment, Supplemental Payment, Special Policy Payment, or otherwise). In the event that the Interim Payment Percentage is greater than 25% on the Effective Date of the Plan, the Rehabilitator shall direct the Management Services Provider to make a Deferred Payment to each Holder of a Policy Claim who received an Interim Payment pursuant to the Interim Cash Payment Rules and who is eligible for such Deferred Payment pursuant to these Payment Guidelines, based upon a Deferred Payment Percentage equal to (x) such Interim Payment Percentage in excess of 25%, divided by (y) 75%, with the Deferred Amount being calculated in accordance with Section 2.4 of these Payment Guidelines. Any subsequent increases to the Interim Payment Percentage or any Deferred Payment for Claims paid pursuant to the Interim Cash Payment Rules shall be made in accordance with Sections 2.3 and 2.7 of these Payment Guidelines. All other Policy Claims in respect of which the Segregated Account made pre-Effective Date payments shall be treated in a manner consistent with the treatment of other Permitted Policy Claims under the

27




Plan. By way of example only, any payments made pursuant to the Supplemental Payments Order shall be deemed to have been Supplemental Payments, and any payments made pursuant to the Special Policy Payments Order shall be deemed to have reduced the Deferred Amounts established for such Holders in accordance with Section 2.4 of these Payment Guidelines.
ARTICLE III

3.1General Claims Administration. Pursuant to the Management Services Agreement, the Rehabilitator has engaged the Management Services Provider to assist him and the Segregated Account in processing all General Claims. The Management Services Provider is responsible for administering, disputing, objecting to, compromising or otherwise resolving all General Claims in accordance with the Plan and the Segregated Account Operational Documents, together with any other rules or guidelines issued by the Rehabilitator or the Special Deputy Commissioner under any of the foregoing, all existing orders of the Court and the specific directions of the Rehabilitator or the Special Deputy Commissioner.
3.2Submission of General Claims. Each Holder of a General Claim, including any General Claim arising prior to the Effective Date (other than a General Claim that was, is or becomes the subject of an Alternative Resolution), shall submit to the Management Services Provider such General Claim in accordance with, and including such information as is required by, the provisions of the underlying instrument(s) or contract(s) giving rise to or governing the submission of such General Claim, if any. Each such General Claim submitted in accordance with this Section shall be referred to as a Pending General Claim.
3.3Timing for Submission of General Claims. A Holder shall not submit a General Claim any earlier than permitted under the underlying instrument(s) or contract(s) giving rise to or governing the submission of such General Claim; provided, however, that a Holder shall submit a General Claim in a timely manner such that it is determined not to be a Late Claim.
3.4Pending General Claims. No General Claim shall become a Pending General Claim unless the Holder of such General Claim fully and properly complies with the Plan and these Payment Guidelines, including without limitation the requirements of Sections 3.2 and 3.3 hereof, as applicable, and with any other guidelines or further directions issued by the Rehabilitator.
3.5Evaluation of Pending General Claims. The Management Services Provider shall evaluate each Pending General Claim to determine whether such Pending General Claim is a Permitted Claim or whether an Objection should be raised as to such General Claim in accordance with Section 4.1 hereof. The Management Services Provider may, from time to time, ask any Holder to supplement its Pending General Claim with further supporting documentation in order to evaluate and decide whether to Permit such Pending General Claim. Upon the determination by the Management Services Provider or the Rehabilitator that a Pending General Claim constitutes a Permitted Claim, such General Claim shall be considered a Permitted General Claim.
3.6No Re-Submission of General Claims. Unless required by the Rehabilitator, the Segregated Account or the Management Services Provider, a Holder shall not submit the same General Claim to the Management Services Provider more than once.
3.7Junior Deferred Amounts. Unless the Court or the Rehabilitator (in his sole and absolute discretion) has permitted an Alternative Resolution of a General Claim, the Rehabilitator shall cause the Segregated Account to establish a Junior Deferred Amount with respect to each Permitted General Claim on the Payment Date immediately following the date on which such General Claim is determined to be a Permitted General Claim.
3.8Junior Deferred Payments. No part of any Junior Deferred Amount shall be payable until such time as the Rehabilitator announces that a Junior Deferred Payment will be made. The Rehabilitator may announce his intention to make a Junior Deferred Payment by filing with the Court and posting on the Website a Junior Deferred

28




Payment Notice if, based on an analysis of the estimated liabilities and available claims-paying resources of the Segregated Account, the Rehabilitator has determined, in his sole and absolute discretion, that such action is generally equitable to the interests of the Holders of Permitted Policy Claims and General Claims. The Rehabilitator shall determine the Junior Deferred Payment Percentage in connection with each Junior Deferred Payment in his sole and absolute discretion, based on such analysis. On or about the Deferred Payment Date when any Junior Deferred Payment is made, the Segregated Account shall pay the holder of each outstanding Junior Surplus Note an amount equal to the product of (i) the Junior Deferred Payment Percentage applicable to such Junior Deferred Payment and (ii) the sum of the principal and interest then outstanding under each such Junior Surplus Note. Any such payment shall be applied in accordance with the terms of the Junior Surplus Notes, and shall be deemed approved by OCI in accordance with Wis. Stat. § 611.33(2)(d).
3.9Procedure for Junior Deferred Payments. Promptly following the announcement of a Junior Deferred Payment, the Management Services Provider and the Holders of Permitted General Claims shall reconcile the amount to be paid. The Rehabilitator may ask any Holder to supplement its General Claim with further supporting documentation. If the parties are unable to reconcile the amount to be paid, each of the Holder and the Management Services Provider shall have the right to file a motion with the Court seeking resolution of the dispute.
The Management Services Provider shall make any Junior Deferred Payments to the Holder of the applicable Permitted General Claim in an amount equal to the Junior Deferred Payment Percentage announced by the Rehabilitator, multiplied by the Junior Deferred Amount with respect to such General Claim as of the date of the Junior Deferred Payment Notice. Such Junior Deferred Payment shall be made on the Payment Date that next follows the date on which the reconciliation required by this Section 3.9 is completed. All Junior Deferred Payments shall be made by the Management Services Provider to the account of the Holder identified in the General Claim submitted by the Holder.
ARTICLE IV
Claims Resolution Procedures
4.1Disputed Claims. The Rehabilitator or the Management Services Provider may raise an Objection to any Pending Claim on any ground, including, but not limited to, the ground that the Rehabilitator or the Management Services Provider lacks sufficient information to evaluate such Pending Claim, that the amount submitted as a Claim is not valid, or that such Claim is a Duplicate Claim or a Late Claim, by providing the Holder of the Claim or the Holder’s representative (as applicable) with written notice of the substance of the Objection. The Rehabilitator or the Management Services Provider may, in their discretion, raise an Objection to all or any portion of a Pending Claim. No later than the sixtieth (60th) day after the delivery of such written notice of Objection to the Holder (the “Opposition Period”), the Holder, if it wishes to dispute such Objection, shall send to the Management Services Provider a written response to the Objection. Such written response (and any related written communications) shall be delivered by email to:
claimsprocessing@ambac.com
with a copy to:
claimsobjections@ambac.com
The response must clearly set forth all facts and the legal basis, if any, for the opposition and the reasons why the Claim should be a Permitted Claim. If no response is sent by the Holder within such Opposition Period, the Claim, or the portion in respect of which the Rehabilitator has raised an Objection, as applicable, shall become a Disallowed Claim without order of the Court and no further dispute resolution shall be permitted. If a response is submitted within such Opposition Period, the Rehabilitator shall resolve such dispute in accordance with these Payment Guidelines (including by considering any excusable neglect, in the case of a Late Claim) and communicate such resolution to the Holder in writing (a “Resolution”). Only in the event that a response is submitted within such Opposition Period by the Holder and the Rehabilitator issues a written Resolution that such Disputed Claim is fully or partially a Disallowed Claim, shall the Holder have the right to file a motion with the Court asserting that the Rehabilitator improperly disallowed

29




all or any portion of such Claim. Any such motion must be filed by the Holder no later than the thirtieth (30th) day after the delivery of such Resolution to the Holder.
4.2Setoffs. The Rehabilitator may set off in whole or in part against any Permitted Claim or any Payment, Deferred Amount, Junior Deferred Amount, or any other amount established, paid or payable by or on behalf of the Segregated Account on account of such Permitted Claim, all claims, rights, and causes of action of any nature that the Rehabilitator, AAC or the Segregated Account may have against the Holder of such Permitted Claim that are not otherwise waived, released, or compromised in accordance with the Plan. Neither the failure to effect such a setoff nor the determination that any Claim is Permitted under the Plan will constitute a waiver or release by the Rehabilitator, AAC or the Segregated Account of any such claims, rights, and causes of action, notwithstanding any compulsory counterclaim rules or requirements to the contrary.
4.3Subsequent Adjustments. If the Rehabilitator or the Management Services Provider determines that any amount of the Cash received by the Holder of a Permitted Claim as a Payment, a payment under the Interim Cash Payment Rules, or any other amount paid by or on behalf of the Segregated Account in respect of a particular Insured Obligation was incorrect, the Rehabilitator or the Management Services Provider may, as necessary to account for such error: (i) recoup from the Holder the amount of such Payments or other amounts paid by the Segregated Account; (ii) adjust the amount of the Cash paid in respect of the relevant Insured Obligation in one or more subsequent Payments of other Permitted Claims; or (iii) reduce the Holder’s then applicable Deferred Amount or Junior Deferred Amount for the relevant Insured Obligation (each, a “Subsequent Adjustment”), by providing the Holder of the Permitted Claim or the Holder’s representative (as applicable) with a Subsequent Adjustment Notice. No later than the sixtieth (60th) day after the delivery of the Subsequent Adjustment Notice to the Holder (the “Opposition Period”), the Holder, if it wishes to dispute such Subsequent Adjustment, shall send to the Management Services Provider a written response to the Subsequent Adjustment Notice. Such written response (and any related written communications) shall be delivered by email to:
claimsprocessing@ambac.com
with a copy to:
claimsobjections@ambac.com
The response must clearly set forth all facts and the legal basis, if any, for the opposition to the Subsequent Adjustment. If no response is sent by the Holder within such Opposition Period, the Management Services Provider may make a Subsequent Adjustment and no further dispute resolution shall be permitted. If a response is submitted within such Opposition Period, the Rehabilitator shall resolve such dispute in accordance with these Payment Guidelines and communicate such resolution to the Holder. Only in the event that a response has been submitted by the Holder within such Opposition Period and the Rehabilitator nevertheless determines that a Subsequent Adjustment is necessary (a “Resolution”), shall the Holder have the right to file a motion with the Court asserting that the Subsequent Adjustment was improper. Any such motion must be filed by the Holder no later than the thirtieth (30th) day after the delivery of the Resolution to the Holder.
4.4Disputes Pending on the Effective Date. Any Policy Claim disputes or objections that are pending on the Effective Date shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Interim Cash Payment Rules; provided, however, that any motion asserting that the Rehabilitator improperly disallowed all or any portion of the Policy Claim (as contemplated by the Interim Cash Payment Rules) shall be filed on or before the date that is: (i) thirty (30) days after (ii) the later of (A) the Effective Date and (B) the date on which the Rehabilitator determined that the Disputed Claim was fully or partially a Disallowed Claim, or, if any such day is not a Business Day, the immediately following Business Day.
4.5Disallowed Claims on or prior to the Effective Date. Any Claim which has been Disallowed on or prior to the Effective Date pursuant to the Interim Cash Payment Rules shall be, and shall continue to be, Disallowed under these Payment Guidelines.

EXHIBIT C
EXAMPLE FOR WRITE DOWN TRANSACTIONS

51




WRITE DOWN EXAMPLE1 
The example below is intended to provide a simplified illustration of how Permitted Policy Claims will be paid under the Plan and the Payment Guidelines. For present purposes, it is assumed that there is one Policy insuring only one series of Insured Obligations, secured by one pool of mortgage loan collateral, in a write down transaction, where the outstanding principal balance of the Insured Obligations is reduced by realized losses on the mortgage loans (“Write Down Transaction”). The example covers a period of four months and commences in month one, when the first Claim under the Policy is submitted to the Segregated Account in accordance with the Payment Guidelines.
Shown below are the monthly calculations and Payments associated with Permitted Policy Claims under the Payment Guidelines, including Interim Payments (initially at a 25% Interim Payment Percentage), the creation of Deferred Amounts (including Deferred Loss Amounts and Accretion Amounts), and the effect of Recovery Amounts.
Month One - Submission of a Policy Claim
In month one, the Beginning Bond Balance and Beginning Collateral Balance for this transaction are both $1,000 (A1) and (B1). Principal collections received during the month from payments on the underlying mortgage loans (“Intrinsic Principal”) are $20 (C1). During the month, the collateral suffers a $100 realized loss (D1), resulting in a Policy Claim submission of $100 (“Month One Policy Claim”). The Month One Policy Claim is not Permitted in month one (E1) because it will not have been determined to be a Permitted Policy Claim under the Payment Guidelines. Consequently, there are no Payments in respect of the Month One Policy Claim.
The payment of Intrinsic Principal ($20) and the $100 realized loss reduces the Beginning Bond Balance by $120, resulting in an Ending Bond Balance of $880 (H1). Together, the $20 Intrinsic Principal and the $100 realized loss reduce the Beginning Collateral Balance by $120, leaving an Ending Collateral Balance of $880 (I1).

The calculations, and events specified in the example are based on assumptions made for illustrative purposes only and may not reflect what may occur in reality or in the future. The Rehabilitator will make determinations in respect of payments by the Segregated Account in his sole and absolute discretion, in accordance with the Plan and the Payment Guidelines.

52




Month Two - Interim Payment and Creation of Deferred Amount
In month two, the Beginning Bond Balance is $880 (A2) and the Beginning Collateral Balance is $880 (B2). Intrinsic Principal for month two is $35 (C2). During the month the collateral suffers an $80 realized loss (D2), resulting in a Policy Claim submission of $80 (“Month Two Policy Claim”).
The Month Two Policy Claim is not Permitted in month two because it will not have been determined to be a Permitted Policy Claim under the Payment Guidelines. Consequently, there are no Payments in respect of the Month Two Policy Claim.
The Month One Policy Claim is determined by the Rehabilitator to be a Permitted Policy Claim (E2). An Interim Payment of $25 (F2) is made, an amount equal to 25% of the Month One Policy Claim. In addition, a Deferred Loss Amount of $75 (L2) is established in respect of the Month One Policy Claim. There are no Accretion Amounts in month two in respect of any Permitted Policy Claim (K2).
The payment of Intrinsic Principal ($35) and the $80 realized loss together reduce the Beginning Bond Balance for the month by $115, leaving an Ending Bond Balance of $765 (H2). (The Interim Payment in respect of the Month One Policy Claim ($25) does not reduce the Beginning Bond Balance for the month because it represents payment of an amount in respect of losses that reduced the principal balance of the bonds in prior periods.) Application of the $35 Intrinsic Principal and the $80 realized loss reduces the Beginning Collateral Balance for the month by $115, leaving an Ending Collateral Balance of $765 (I2).

Month Three - Accretion on Deferred Amounts in respect of Month One Policy Claim
In month three, the Beginning Bond Balance is $765 (A3) and the Beginning Collateral Balance is $765 (B3). Intrinsic Principal for month three is $25 (C3). During the month the collateral suffers a $100 realized loss (D3), resulting in a Policy Claim submission of $100 (“Month Three Policy Claim”).
The Month Three Policy Claim is not Permitted in month three because it will not have been determined to be a Permitted Policy Claim under the Payment Guidelines. Consequently, there are no Payments in respect of the Month Three Policy Claim.
The Beginning Deferred Amount in month three is $75 (J3).
The Month Two Policy Claim is determined by the Rehabilitator to be a Permitted Policy Claim (E3). An Interim Payment of $20 (F3) is made, an amount equal to 25% of the Month Two Policy Claim. In addition, a Deferred Loss Amount of $60 (L3) is established in respect of the Month Two Policy Claim.

53




The Accretion Amount in month three is $0.31 (K3), which represents the effective annual rate of 5.1% on the Beginning Deferred Amount of $75 (J3).
The Ending Deferred Amount for month three is $135.31 (M3), which is the sum of: (i) the Beginning Deferred Amount of $75 (J3) established in respect of the Month One Policy Claim, (ii) the Accretion Amount of $0.31 (K3) and (iii) the Deferred Loss Amount of $60 (L3) established in respect of the Month Two Policy Claim.
The payment of month three Intrinsic Principal ($25) and the $100 realized loss together reduce the Beginning Bond Balance for the month by $125, leaving an Ending Bond Balance of $640 (H3). (The Interim Payment in respect of the Month Two Policy Claim ($20) does not reduce the Beginning Bond Balance for the month.) Application of the $25 Intrinsic Principal and the $100 realized loss reduces the Beginning Collateral Balance by $125, leaving an Ending Collateral Balance of $640 (I3).

Month Four - Effect of Recovery Amounts
In month four, the Beginning Bond Balance is $640 (A4) and the Beginning Collateral Balance is $640 (B4). Intrinsic Principal for month four is $30 (C4). The transaction receives $60 (G4) as a Recovery Amount in respect of realized losses incurred in prior months. During the month the collateral suffers an $80 realized loss (D4), resulting in a Policy Claim submission of $80 (“Month Four Policy Claim”).
The Month Four Policy Claim is not Permitted in month four, because it will not have been determined to be a Permitted Policy Claim under the Payment Guidelines. Consequently, there are no Payments in respect of the Month Four Policy Claim.
In month four, the Beginning Deferred Amount is $135.31 (J4).
The Month Three Policy Claim is determined by the Rehabilitator to be a Permitted Policy Claim (E4). An Interim Payment of $25 (F4) is made, an amount equal to 25% of the Month Three Policy Claim. In addition, a Deferred Loss Amount of $75 (L4) is established in respect of the Month Three Policy Claim.

54




The Accretion Amount in month four is $0.56 (K4), which represents the effective annual rate of 5.1% on the Beginning Deferred Amount of $135.31 (J4).
The Ending Deferred Amount for month four is $150.87 (M4), which is equal to: (a) the sum of (i) the Beginning Deferred Amount of $135.31 (J4), (ii) the Accretion Amount of $0.56 (K4), and (iii) the Deferred Loss Amount of $75 (L4) established in respect of the Month Three Policy Claim (which sum is $210.87), reduced by (b) the $60 Recovery Amount (G4) realized in month four.
The payment of month four Intrinsic Principal ($30) and the $80 realized loss together reduce the Beginning Bond Balance by $110, leaving an Ending Bond Balance of $530 (H4). (Neither the Interim Payment in respect of the Month Three Policy Claim ($25) nor the Recovery Amount realized in month four ($60) reduces the Beginning Bond Balance for the month.) Application of the $30 Intrinsic Principal, and the $80 realized loss reduces the Beginning Collateral Balance by $110, leaving an Ending Collateral Balance of $530 (I4).2

EXHIBIT D
EXAMPLE FOR UNDERCOLLATERALIZED TRANSACTIONS

57




UNDERCOLLATERALIZED EXAMPLE1 
The example below is intended to provide a simplified illustration of how Permitted Policy Claims will be paid under the Plan and the Payment Guidelines. For present purposes, it is assumed that there is one Policy insuring only one series of Insured Obligations, secured by one pool of mortgage loan collateral, in an undercollateralizing transaction, where the outstanding principal balance of the Insured Obligations is not reduced by realized losses on the mortgage loans (“Undercollateralized Transaction”). The example covers a period of four months and commences in month one, when the first Claim under the Policy is submitted to the Segregated Account in accordance with the Payment Guidelines.
Shown below are the monthly calculations and Payments associated with Permitted Policy Claims under the Payment Guidelines, including Interim Payments (initially at a 25% Interim Payment Percentage), the creation of Deferred Amounts (including Deferred Loss Amounts and Accretion Amounts) and the effect of Recovery Amounts.
Month One - Submission of a Policy Claim
In month one, the Beginning Bond Balance and Beginning Collateral Balance for this transaction are both $1,000 (A1) and (B1). Principal collections received during the month from payments on the underlying mortgage loans (“Intrinsic Principal”) are $20 (C1). During the month, the collateral suffers a $100 realized loss (D1), resulting in a Policy Claim submission of $100 (“Month One Policy Claim”). The Month One Policy Claim is not Permitted in month one (E1) because it will not have been determined to be a Permitted Policy Claim under the Payment Guidelines. Consequently, there are no Payments in respect of the Month One Policy Claim.
The payment of Intrinsic Principal reduces the Beginning Bond Balance by $20, resulting in an Ending Bond Balance of $980 (H1). Together, the $20 Intrinsic Principal and the $100 realized loss reduce the Beginning Collateral Balance by $120, leaving an Ending Collateral Balance of $880 (I1).

Month Two - Interim Payment and Creation of Deferred Amount
In month two, the Beginning Bond Balance is $980 (A2) and the Beginning Collateral Balance is $880 (B2). Intrinsic Principal for month two is $35 (C2). During the month the collateral suffers an $80 realized loss (D2), resulting in a Policy Claim submission of $80 (“Month Two Policy Claim”).
The Month Two Policy Claim is not Permitted in month two because it will not have been determined to be a Permitted Policy Claim under the Payment Guidelines. Consequently, there are no Payments in respect of the Month Two Policy Claim.
The Month One Policy Claim is determined by the Rehabilitator to be a Permitted Policy Claim (E2). An Interim Payment of $25 (F2) is made, an amount equal to 25% of the Month One Policy Claim. In addition, a Deferred Loss Amount of $75 (L2) is established in respect of the Month One Policy Claim. There are no Accretion Amounts in month two in respect of any Permitted Policy Claim (K2).
The payment of Intrinsic Principal ($35) and the Interim Payment in respect of the Month One Policy Claim ($25) together reduce the Beginning Bond Balance for the month by $60, leaving an Ending Bond Balance of $920 (H2). Application of the $35 Intrinsic Principal and the $80 realized loss reduces the Beginning Collateral Balance for the month by $115, leaving an Ending Collateral Balance of $765 (I2).

Month Three - Accretion on Deferred Amounts in respect of Month One Policy Claim
In month three, the Beginning Bond Balance is $920 (A3) and the Beginning Collateral Balance is $765 (B3). Intrinsic Principal for month three is $25 (C3). During the month the collateral suffers a $100 realized loss (D3), resulting in a Policy Claim submission of $100 (“Month Three Policy Claim”).
The Month Three Policy Claim is not Permitted in month three because it will not have been determined to be a Permitted Policy Claim under the Payment Guidelines. Consequently, there are no Payments in respect of the Month Three Policy Claim.
The Beginning Deferred Amount in month three is $75 (J3).
The Month Two Policy Claim is determined by the Rehabilitator to be a Permitted Policy Claim (E3). An Interim Payment of $20 (F3) is made, an amount equal to 25% of the Month Two Policy Claim. In addition, a Deferred Loss Amount of $60 (L3) is established in respect of the Month Two Policy Claim.

59




The Accretion Amount in month three is $0.31 (K3), which represents the effective annual rate of 5.1% on the Beginning Deferred Amount of $75 (J3).
The Ending Deferred Amount for month three is $135.31 (M3), which is the sum of: (i) the Beginning Deferred Amount of $75 (J3) established in respect of the Month One Policy Claim, (ii) the Accretion Amount of $0.31 (K3) and (iii) the Deferred Loss Amount of $60 (L3) established in respect of the Month Two Policy Claim.
The payment of month three Intrinsic Principal ($25) and the Interim Payment in respect of the Month Two Policy Claim ($20) together reduce the Beginning Bond Balance for the month by $45, leaving an Ending Bond Balance of $875 (H3). Application of the $25 Intrinsic Principal and the $100 realized loss reduces the Beginning Collateral Balance by $125, leaving an Ending Collateral Balance of $640 (I3).

Month Four - Effect of Recovery Amounts
In month four, the Beginning Bond Balance is $875 (A4) and the Beginning Collateral Balance is $640 (B4). Intrinsic Principal for month four is $30 (C4). The transaction receives $60 (G4) as a Recovery Amount in respect of realized losses incurred in prior months. During the month the collateral suffers an $80 realized loss (D4), resulting in a Policy Claim submission of $80 (“Month Four Policy Claim”).
The Month Four Policy Claim is not Permitted in month four, because it will not have been determined to be a Permitted Policy Claim under the Payment Guidelines. Consequently, there are no Payments in respect of the Month Four Policy Claim.
In month four, the Beginning Deferred Amount is $135.31 (J4).
The Month Three Policy Claim is determined by the Rehabilitator to be a Permitted Policy Claim (E4). An Interim Payment of $25 (F4) is made, an amount equal to 25% of the Month Three Policy Claim. In addition, a Deferred Loss Amount of $75 (L4) is established in respect of the Month Three Policy Claim.

60




The Accretion Amount in month four is $0.56 (K4), which represents the effective annual rate of 5.1% on the Beginning Deferred Amount of $135.31 (J4).
The Ending Deferred Amount for month four is $150.87 (M4), which is equal to: (a) the sum of (i) the Beginning Deferred Amount of $135.31 (J4), (ii) the Accretion Amount of $0.56 (K4), and (iii) the Deferred Loss Amount of $75 (L4) established in respect of the Month Three Policy Claim (which sum is $210.87), reduced by (b) the $60 Recovery Amount (G4) realized in month four.
The payment of month four Intrinsic Principal ($30), the Interim Payment in respect of the Month Three Policy Claim ($25) and the Recovery Amount realized in month four ($60), together reduce the Beginning Bond Balance by $115, leaving an Ending Bond Balance of $760 (H4). Application of the $30 Intrinsic Principal, and the $80 realized loss reduces the Beginning Collateral Balance by $110, leaving an Ending Collateral Balance of $530 (I4).2

EXHIBIT E
EXAMPLE FOR CERTAIN MULTI-CUSIP POLICIES

62




REALLOCATION OF DEFERRED LOSS AMOUNT EXAMPLE1 
Pursuant to the Payment Guidelines, Deferred Loss Amounts are calculated and allocated to Insured Obligations, including multiple classes of Insured Obligations insured under a single Policy. Situations can arise where the Deferred Loss Amount with respect to a single Policy remains unchanged, but due to the priority of payments under the Transaction Documents, the Deferred Loss Amounts allocated to multiple classes of Insured Obligations under such Policy no longer reflect the losses that each such Insured Obligation has incurred. This could result in a situation where Deferred Loss Amounts are overstated for some Insured Obligations and understated for others. To ensure that any Deferred Payments will be applied accurately, the Rehabilitator may, in his sole and absolute discretion, reallocate Deferred Loss Amounts among classes of Insured Obligations insured by a single Policy to the extent necessary to ensure that the Deferred Loss Amounts reflect the actual losses allocated to the Insured Obligations under the Transaction Documents.
Upon reallocation of a Deferred Loss Amount from one Insured Obligation to another, there shall be no further accretion on such reallocated Deferred Loss Amount in respect of the Insured Obligation from which the Deferred Loss Amount was reallocated. However, Accretion Amounts that accrued prior to such transfer shall remain with the Beneficial Holders of the Insured Obligation from which the Deferred Loss Amount was reallocated, and will continue to accrete in accordance with the Payment Guidelines. 
The example below is intended to provide a simplified illustration of how Deferred Loss Amounts may be allocated and reallocated among multiple classes of Insured Obligations insured by one Policy under the Plan and the Payment Guidelines in one set of circumstances.
For present purposes, it is assumed that: (i) there is one Policy insuring two classes of Insured Obligations, Class A1 and Class A2, (ii) principal amounts under the Transaction Documents are paid first to the Class A1 bond, the most senior Insured Obligation (until its balance is reduced to zero) and then to the Insured Obligation in next order of priority, the Class A2 bond (until its balance is reduced to zero) (a “Sequential Pay Transaction”), (iii) the Insured Obligations are secured by one pool of mortgage loan collateral, where the outstanding principal balance of the Insured Obligations is not reduced by realized losses on the mortgage loans (an “Undercollateralized Transaction”), (iv) initially, only the Class A1 bond has a Deferred Loss Amount and (v) there are no Deferred Payments made. The example covers a period of two months and commences in month one, when the first reallocation of Deferred Loss Amounts between different classes of Insured Obligations occurs.
Shown below are the monthly calculations and reallocation of Deferred Loss Amounts among two classes of Insured Obligations under the Payment Guidelines. The Deferred Loss Amounts are reallocated as a result of the payment in full of the most senior Insured Obligation in a Sequential Pay Transaction in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Transaction Documents.

Amounts used in this example are representative only, and do not reflect any actual claims and are based on assumptions that may not be applicable to any particular policy. The calculations, and events specified in the example are based on assumptions made for illustrative purposes only and may not reflect what may occur in reality or in the future. The Rehabilitator will make determinations in respect of payments by the Segregated Account in his sole and absolute discretion, in accordance with the Plan and the Payment Guidelines.

Month One - Reallocation of Deferred Loss Amount among Insured Obligations of Sequential Pay Transaction
In month one, the Beginning Bond Balance for the Class A1 bond is $90 and for the Class A2 bond is $120 (A1). The Beginning Collateral Balance for this transaction is $130 (B1), reflecting prior realized losses of $80, resulting in the Transaction being undercollateralized by an equal amount. Principal collections received during the month from payments on the underlying mortgage loans (“Intrinsic Principal”) are $60 (E1). During the month, the collateral suffers no additional realized loss (G1), resulting in no Policy Claim for the month. There are no outstanding Permitted Policy Claims and the Rehabilitator has not declared a Deferred Payment, consequently, there are no Interim or Deferred Payments made on account of the Insured Obligations.
Because this is a Sequential Pay Transaction, Intrinsic Principal is paid first to the Class A1 senior bond to reduce the Beginning Bond Balance of the Class A1 bond by $60, resulting in an Ending Bond Balance for the Class A1 bond of $30 (I1) and since there is no additional Intrinsic Principal, there is no payment made to the Class A2 bond, leaving its Ending Bond Balance at $120 (I1). The $60 Intrinsic Principal reduces the Beginning Collateral Balance of $130 by $60, leaving an Ending Collateral Balance of $70 (J1).
The Beginning Deferred Amount for the Class A1 bond is $80 and for the Class A2 bond is $0 (D1).
The Accretion Amount for month one for Class A1 is $0.33 (K1), which represents accretion at the effective annual rate of 5.1% on the Beginning Deferred Amount of $80 (D1). There is no Accretion Amount for Class A2 as it does not have any outstanding Deferred Amount.
At the beginning of the month, the Class A1 bond was $80 undercollateralized (C1) and the Class A2 bond had no undercollateralization (C1). After the payment of Intrinsic Principal of $60 to the Class A1 bond, the Class A1 bond’s share of the $80 undercollateralization is $30 and the Class A2 bond’s share of the $80 undercollateralization is $50.
The Deferred Loss Amount on the transaction as a whole has not been reduced by either Deferred Payments or Recovery Amounts, and remains unchanged at $80. However, the allocation of the Deferred Loss Amount among the two classes of Insured Obligations must be modified due to the reduction in Bond Balance of the Class A1 bonds below the Class A1 bond Deferred Loss Amount. This reduction in Bond Balance of the Class A1 bond results in a shift in the allocation of the undercollateralization of the Transaction to the Class A2 bond, requiring a corresponding shift of the Deferred Loss Amount from the Class A1 bond to the Class A2 bond.
The Deferred Loss Amount allocated to the Class A1 Bond is reduced from $80 to $30 (L1), reflecting the receipt by the Class A1 bond of $60 Intrinsic Principal and the reduction of its undercollateralization. The remaining $50 of Deferred Loss Amount is allocated to the Class A2 bond (L1).
The Ending Deferred Amount for the Class A1 bond is $30.33 (L1), which is the sum of: (i) the Beginning Deferred Amount of $80 (D1), plus (ii) the Accretion Amount of $0.33 (K1) minus (iii) the Deferred Loss Amount of $50 reallocated to the Class A2 bond from the Class A1 bond.
The Ending Deferred Amount for the Class A2 bond is $50 (L1), which is the sum of: (i) the Beginning Deferred Amount of $0 (D1), plus (ii) the Accretion Amount of $0 (K1) plus (iii) the Deferred Loss Amount of $50 reallocated to the Class A2 bond from the Class A1 bond.

Month Two - Reallocation of Deferred Loss Amount among Insured Obligations of Sequential Pay Transaction
In month two, the Beginning Bond Balance for Class A1 bond is $30 and for Class A2 bond is $120 (A2). The Beginning Collateral Balance for month two is $70 (B2) and the Transaction is undercollateralized by $80. Intrinsic Principal received is $50 (E2). During the month, the collateral suffers no additional realized loss (G2), resulting in no Policy Claim for the month. There are no outstanding Permitted Policy Claims, consequently, there are no Payments made to the Insured Obligations in respect of either Permitted Policy Claims or Deferred Amounts.
Because this is a Sequential Pay Transaction, Intrinsic Principal is paid first to Class A1 senior bond reducing the Beginning Bond Balance of Class A1 bond by $30, resulting in an Ending Bond Balance for the Class A1 bond of $0 (I2). The remainder of Intrinsic Principal of $20 is paid to the Class A2 bond reducing the Beginning Bond Balance of the Class A2 bond by $20, resulting in an Ending Bond Balance for the Class A2 bond of $100 (I2). The $50 Intrinsic Principal reduces the Beginning Collateral Balance of $70 by $50, leaving an Ending Collateral Balance of $20 (J2).
The Beginning Deferred Amount for the Class A1 bond is $30.33 and for the Class A2 bond is $50 (D2).
The Accretion Amount for month two for Class A1 bond is $0.13 (K2), which represents accretion at the effective annual rate of 5.1% on the Beginning Deferred Amount of $30.33 (D2) and the Accretion Amount for Class A2 bond is $0.21 (K2), which represents accretion at the effective annual rate of 5.1% on the Beginning Deferred Amount of $50 (D2).
At beginning of the month, the Class A1 bond was $30 undercollateralized (C2) and the Class A2 bond was $50 undercollateralized (C2). After the payment of Intrinsic Principal, the Class A1 bond is fully paid and the Class A2 bond is undercollateralized by $80.
After the payment of the $50 of Intrinsic Principal to the Class A1 bond and Class A2 bond, the undercollateralization of the transaction, as a whole, remains unchanged at $80, but now resides solely with the Class A2 bond. The Deferred Loss Amount on the transaction as a whole remains unchanged at $80. However, the Deferred Loss Amounts among the two Classes of Insured Obligations must be reallocated due to the reduction in Bond Balance of the Class A1 bond that has shifted the allocation of the undercollateralization of the Transaction to the Class A2 bond.
The Deferred Loss Amount allocated to the Class A1 Bond is reduced from $30 to $0 (L2), reflecting the receipt of the Class A1 bond of $30 Intrinsic Principal. The Deferred Loss Amount of $30 that was allocated to the Class A1 bond is reallocated to the Class A2 bond, increasing its Deferred Loss Amount from $50 to $80 (L2). The Accretion Amount for the Class A1 bond of $0.46 remains with the Class A1 bond and is not reallocated (L2).
The Ending Deferred Amount for month two for Class A1 is $0.46 (L2), which is the sum of: (i) the Beginning Deferred Amount of $30.33 (D2), plus (ii) the Accretion Amount of $0.13 (K2) minus (iii) the Deferred Loss Amount of $30 reallocated to the Class A2 bond from the Class A1 bond.
The Ending Deferred Amount for month two for Class A2 is $80.21 (L2), which is the sum of: (i) the Beginning Deferred Amount of $50 (D2), plus (ii) the Accretion Amount of $0.21 (K2) plus (iii) the Deferred Loss Amount of $30 reallocated to the Class A2 bond from the Class A1 bond.

EXHIBIT 2
LVM PAYMENT GUIDELINES

LVM PAYMENT GUIDELINES FOR PLAN OF REHABILITATION, AS AMENDED
Date: June 12, 2014
Issued by
the Rehabilitator and the Special Deputy Commissioner
of the Segregated Account of Ambac Assurance Corporation
On March 24, 2010, the Circuit Court for Dane County, Wisconsin (the “Court”) entered a rehabilitation order (the “Rehabilitation Order”), granting the petition of the Commissioner of Insurance of the State of Wisconsin to place the Segregated Account of Ambac Assurance Corporation (the “Segregated Account”) into rehabilitation and to appoint the Commissioner as the Rehabilitator for the Segregated Account (the “Rehabilitator”). On January 24, 2011, the Court issued an order confirming the Plan of Rehabilitation for the Segregated Account, which became effective, following the Amendments, on the Effective Date.1 
The liabilities of AAC under financial guaranty policy no. 17548BE (the “LVM Policy”) have been allocated to the Segregated Account. However, unlike the majority of financial guaranty policies allocated to the Segregated Account, where a trustee or submitting agent is the Holder and submits a claim on behalf of all bondholders, each beneficial owner of an interest in the LVM Bonds (each, an “LVM Holder”) is the party responsible for the submission of a claim under the LVM Policy (an “LVM Policy Claim”) to the entity named as Insurance Trustee in the LVM Policy (the “Insurance Trustee”).
Given the unique nature of the LVM Policy and the claims procedure thereunder, the Rehabilitator wishes to clarify the procedure for the submission of LVM Policy Claims to the Segregated Account, and for the evaluation, processing, and partial payment of such LVM Policy Claims by the Segregated Account pursuant to the Plan. Accordingly, the Rehabilitator hereby issues the following rules, procedures, and guidelines (as may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time pursuant to the terms hereof, the “LVM Payment Guidelines”). These LVM Payment Guidelines are being posted online at www.ambacpolicyholders.com, and shall be effective on the Effective Date.
These LVM Payment Guidelines replace and supersede the Rules Governing the Submission, Processing and Partial Payment of Claims Under Financial Guaranty Policy No. 17548BE by the Segregated Account of Ambac Assurance Corporation in Accordance With June 4, 2012 Interim Cash Payment Order, dated as of October 10, 2012 (the “2012 LVM Payment Rules”).
For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in these LVM Payment Guidelines replaces, amends or supplements any of the Payment Guidelines for Plan of Rehabilitation dated June 12, 2014 (the “Non-LVM Payment Guidelines”) insofar as they relate to any Policy or Policy Claim other than the LVM Policy and LVM Policy Claims. In particular and without limitation, the Non-LVM Payment Guidelines shall govern the submission, evaluation, processing and partial payment of any LVM Surety Bond Claim and nothing contained herein is, or shall be, applicable to an LVM Surety Bond Claim.
______________________
1    Unless otherwise defined herein or in the Plan, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings specified in Exhibit A hereto. Such meanings shall be equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of such terms, unless the context otherwise requires.

ARTICLE I
Submission and Processing of LVM Policy Claims
1.1    LVM Policy Claims Administration.
Pursuant to the Management Services Agreement, the Rehabilitator has engaged the Management Services Provider to assist him and the Segregated Account in processing LVM Policy Claims. Subject to the oversight and control of the Special Deputy Commissioner and the Rehabilitator, the Management Services Provider is responsible for administering, disputing, objecting to, compromising or otherwise resolving LVM Policy Claims in accordance with the Plan, these LVM Payment Guidelines and the Segregated Account Operational Documents, together with any other rules or guidelines issued by the Rehabilitator or the Special Deputy Commissioner under any of the foregoing, all existing orders of the Court and the specific directions of the Rehabilitator or the Special Deputy Commissioner.
1.2    Submission of LVM Policy Claims.
Notwithstanding the provisions of the LVM Policy, the Segregated Account, the Rehabilitator and the Management Services Provider have agreed to unconditionally waive forever the requirement under the LVM Policy that each LVM Holder submit an LVM Policy Claim to the Insurance Trustee. Instead, each of the Rehabilitator, the Segregated Account and the Management Services Provider hereby agrees that an LVM Policy Claim shall be eligible to be a Pending LVM Policy Claim if the entity named as trustee for and on behalf of the LVM Holders under the Senior Indenture, dated as of September 1, 2000 by and between the Director of the State of Nevada Department of Business and Industry and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. as trustee, as amended, supplemented or varied from time to time (the “LVM Trustee”), submits to the Management Services Provider (i) such LVM Policy Claim in accordance with, and including such information as is required by, the provisions of the LVM Policy and any other Transaction Document(s) giving rise to or governing the submission of such LVM Policy Claim, and (ii) a fully completed and duly executed Proof of LVM Policy Claim Form in the form attached to these LVM Payment Guidelines as Exhibit B relating to such LVM Policy Claim, including the Claim Schedule referred to therein.
Consistent with the foregoing, the LVM Trustee is hereby authorized to submit an LVM Policy Claim and Proof of LVM Policy Claim Form on behalf of each LVM Holder (other than AAC as the LVM Holder of the LVM Tendered Bonds) who, but for the provisions of these LVM Payment Guidelines, would be entitled to submit an LVM Policy Claim under the LVM Policy. No LVM Holder is permitted to submit an LVM Policy Claim and/or a Proof of LVM Policy Claim Form under these LVM Payment Guidelines, and any LVM Policy Claim so submitted by an LVM Holder shall be Disallowed in accordance with the procedure set forth in Section 3.1 hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the LVM Trustee shall not submit any LVM Policy Claims in respect of any LVM Bonds which were acquired by AAC pursuant to the LVM Tender and AAC shall not submit any LVM Policy Claims in respect of the LVM Tendered Bonds. Nor shall the LVM Trustee submit any LVM Policy Claim already submitted to the Management Services Provider in accordance with the 2012 LVM Payment Rules.
The LVM Trustee shall submit all LVM Policy Claims for the same Claim Period on one Proof of LVM Policy Claim Form (and Claim Schedule), and shall therein identify each Insured Obligation (by CUSIP, if any) to which each such LVM Policy Claim relates, as required by the Claim Schedule relating to such Proof of LVM Policy Claim Form. A separate Proof of LVM Policy Claim Form and Claim Schedule shall be submitted for all LVM Policy Claims for each Claim Period. Each such LVM Policy Claim submitted in accordance with this Section and Section 1.3, and meeting the requirements of Section 1.4 shall be referred to as a Pending LVM Policy Claim.
1.3    Timing for Submission of LVM Policy Claims.
The LVM Trustee shall not submit an LVM Policy Claim any earlier than permitted under the LVM Policy or other Transaction Document giving rise to or governing the submission of such LVM Policy Claim; provided, however, that the LVM Trustee shall submit an LVM Policy Claim in a timely manner such that it is determined not to be a Late Claim.
1.4    Pending LVM Policy Claim.
No LVM Policy Claim shall become a Pending LVM Policy Claim unless the LVM Trustee fully and properly complies with (i) the requirements of Sections 1.2 and 1.3 hereof, as applicable (ii) the requirements of the Proof of LVM Policy Claim Form (including the Claim Schedule referred to therein) with respect to such LVM Policy Claim, and (iii) any other guidelines or further directions issued by the Rehabilitator from time to time.
1.5    Eligibility of Pending LVM Policy Claims.
No LVM Policy Claim shall be eligible to be considered a Permitted LVM Policy Claim on any Payment Date following the date of submission by the LVM Trustee (including the first Payment Date to occur after the Effective Date) unless it is a Pending LVM Policy Claim on or prior to 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the last Business Day of the calendar

69




month immediately preceding the calendar month in which such Payment Date occurs, unless the Rehabilitator determines otherwise in his sole and absolute discretion.
1.6    Evaluation of Pending LVM Policy Claims.
The Management Services Provider shall evaluate each Pending LVM Policy Claim to determine whether the amount set forth in the Proof of LVM Policy Claim Form is a Permitted LVM Policy Claim or whether an Objection should be raised as to such LVM Policy Claim in accordance with Section 3.1 hereof. The Management Services Provider may, from time to time, ask the LVM Trustee to supplement its Pending LVM Policy Claim with further supporting documentation in order to evaluate and decide whether to Permit such Pending LVM Policy Claim. Upon the determination by the Management Services Provider and the Rehabilitator that a Pending LVM Policy Claim constitutes a Permitted Claim, such LVM Policy Claim shall be considered a Permitted LVM Policy Claim.
1.7    No Re-Submission of LVM Policy Claims.
Unless required or permitted by the Rehabilitator, the Segregated Account or the Management Services Provider, the LVM Trustee shall not submit an LVM Policy Claim to the Management Services Provider more than once or in more than one Proof of LVM Policy Claim Form, including without limitation, any LVM Policy Claim previously submitted by the LVM Trustee to the Management Services Provider or the Segregated Account in accordance with the 2012 LVM Payment Rules. For the avoidance of doubt, unless required by the Rehabilitator, the Segregated Account or the Management Services Provider, the LVM Trustee may not submit a subsequent Proof of LVM Policy Claim Form for any portion of a Permitted LVM Policy Claim not satisfied pursuant to any Payment, or for any Pending LVM Policy Claim, Disputed Claim, Late Claim or Disallowed Claim, or for any Policy Claim relating to the LVM Tendered Bonds.
1.8    No Duplicative Recovery.
No LVM Holder of any securities insured by the LVM Policy shall be entitled to receive consideration (whether from any Payments, Recovery Amounts or other amounts received from any other source) on account of its Permitted LVM Policy Claim that exceeds 100% of the amount of such Permitted LVM Policy Claim, other than Accretion Amounts.
ARTICLE II
Payments on Permitted LVM Policy Claims
2.1Interim Payments.
The LVM Trustee shall receive an Interim Payment in respect of each Permitted LVM Policy Claim unless (i) the Court or the Rehabilitator (in his sole and absolute discretion) has permitted an Alternative Resolution of such Permitted LVM Policy Claim, or (ii) the LVM Trustee is deemed to have already received an Interim Payment in respect of such Permitted LVM Policy Claim pursuant to the 2012 LVM Payment Rules, as contemplated by Section 2.16 of these LVM Payment Guidelines.
2.2Procedure for Interim Payments.
If the Management Services Provider, the Rehabilitator or the Court has determined that a Pending LVM Policy Claim constitutes a Permitted LVM Policy Claim, the Segregated Account shall pay to the LVM Trustee (and not to the Insurance Trustee) an Interim Payment in Cash. Any Interim Payment in respect of a Permitted LVM Policy Claim shall be made on the first Payment Date occurring after the Determination Date by which it was determined to be a Permitted LVM Policy Claim. Such Interim Payment shall be paid by the Segregated Account to the account of the LVM Trustee identified in the Proof of LVM Policy Claim Form relating to such Permitted LVM Policy Claim; provided that, the LVM Trustee shall distribute such Interim Payment (solely in respect of Insured Obligations) in accordance with the provisions of the Transaction Documents relating to such LVM Policy. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding the LVM Trustee’s obligation to submit all LVM Policy Claims on one Proof of LVM Policy Claim Form and to identify therein each Insured Obligation (by CUSIP, if any) to which each such LVM Policy Claim relates (as applicable), as set forth in Section 1.2 hereof, on each Payment Date the Rehabilitator or the Segregated Account shall pay to the LVM Trustee a single aggregate Interim Payment for all Permitted LVM Policy Claims.
2.3Increases to the Interim Payment Percentage.
The Rehabilitator may increase the Interim Payment Percentage from time to time if, based on his analysis of the estimated liabilities and available claims-paying resources of the Segregated Account, the Rehabilitator has determined, in his sole and absolute discretion, that such action is equitable to the interests of the Holders of Policy Claims and LVM Policy Claims generally. The Rehabilitator shall announce his intention to increase the Interim Payment Percentage by filing with the Court and posting on the Website an IPP Notice. The Rehabilitator shall determine the amount of any increase in the Interim Payment Percentage in his sole and absolute discretion, based on such analysis. In determining whether an increase

70




in the Interim Payment Percentage is equitable to the interests of the Holders of Policy Claims and LVM Policy Claims generally, the Rehabilitator shall consider whether, in conjunction with any such increase, a Deferred Payment should be made under Section 2.7 of these LVM Payment Guidelines.
2.4Deferred Amounts.
Unless the Court or the Rehabilitator (in his sole and absolute discretion) has permitted an Alternative Resolution of an LVM Policy Claim, the Rehabilitator shall cause the Segregated Account to establish a Deferred Amount for each Insured Obligation insured by the LVM Policy in respect of which an Interim Payment has been made or has been deemed to be made pursuant to Section 2.16 of these LVM Payment Guidelines. With respect to each such Insured Obligation, the Deferred Amount shall be: (A) as of the Payment Date occurring after the first Interim Payment made or deemed made by the Segregated Account in respect of a Permitted LVM Policy Claim relating to such Insured Obligation, the higher of (i) the amount equal to the Permitted LVM Policy Claim Amount less the amount of any Payment and less any Recovery Amount, in each case established, paid or received with respect to such Insured Obligation since the immediately preceding Payment Date, and (ii) zero; and (B) as of each subsequent Payment Date, the higher of (i) amount equal to the Deferred Amount as of the immediately preceding Payment Date, plus any Accretion Amounts accrued since the immediately preceding Payment Date, plus any Permitted LVM Policy Claim Amount, less the amount of any Payment, less any Recovery Amount, and less any and all amounts which reduce the Deferred Amount pursuant to Sections 2.13, 3.2 and 3.3, in each case in this subparagraph (B)(i), as established, paid or received with respect to such Insured Obligation since the immediately preceding Payment Date, and (ii) zero.
2.5Reconciliation of Deferred Loss Amounts.
On a semi-annual basis, in accordance with the schedule set forth below, the Management Services Provider, on behalf of the Segregated Account and the Rehabilitator, and the LVM Trustee shall reconcile the Deferred Loss Amounts relating to Permitted LVM Policy Claims. Such reconciliations (each, a “Reconciliation”) shall be completed with respect to each Insured Obligation insured by the LVM Policy by CUSIP in respect of which there is an outstanding Deferred Amount.
Provided that the LVM Trustee has complied with any request of the Management Services Provider (as described below), the Management Services Provider shall complete each Reconciliation by delivering to the LVM Trustee, no later than April 1 and October 1 of each year following the Effective Date (or if any such day is not a Business Day, the first Business Day following such day), a Reconciliation Notice relating to each of the Insured Obligations under the LVM Policy by CUSIP, using personal delivery, first class mail or electronic mail, showing the Management Service Provider’s calculation, as of the relevant Reconciliation Date (but excluding any Payments made on or after such Reconciliation Date), of the Deferred Loss Amounts relating to such Insured Obligation. The Reconciliation Date for Reconciliation Notices delivered no later than April 1 shall be January 20 (or, if any such Reconciliation Date is not a Business Day, the first Business Day immediately preceding such Reconciliation Date) of the same calendar year, and the Reconciliation Date for Reconciliation Notices delivered no later than October 1 shall be July 20 of the same calendar year (or if any such Reconciliation Date is not a Business Day, the first Business Day immediately preceding such Reconciliation Date); provided, however, that the first Reconciliation Date following the Effective Date of the Plan shall be July 20, 2014, or the first Payment Date thereafter specified by the Rehabilitator, whichever is later. Following delivery of each of the semi-annual Reconciliation Notices contemplated by this Section 2.5, and, as necessary, completion of any dispute resolution proceedings described below, the Rehabilitator will post to the Website a schedule showing all outstanding Deferred Amounts, including the aggregate of all unpaid and outstanding Accretion Amounts.
The Management Services Provider or the Rehabilitator may, from time to time, ask the LVM Trustee to promptly provide information and/or further supporting documentation in order to evaluate a Deferred Loss Amount and/or a Reconciliation and/or in order to assist the Management Services Provider in preparing a Reconciliation Notice. The LVM Trustee shall be required to deliver any such information and/or supporting documentation within the time frame specified for delivery of such information in the reasonable request made by the Management Services Provider or the Rehabilitator and Section 2.9 hereof shall apply if the LVM Trustee does not do so.
If the LVM Trustee wishes to dispute, for any reason, a Reconciliation Notice issued by the Management Services Provider, the LVM Trustee shall, no later than 45 days after delivery of such Reconciliation Notice (the “Opposition Period”), send to the Management Services Provider a written response to the Reconciliation Notice. Such written response (and any related written communications) shall be delivered by email to:
claimsprocessing@ambac.com
with a copy to:
claimsobjections@ambac.com.

71




The response must clearly set forth all facts and the legal basis, if any, for the opposition and the reasons why the Reconciliation Notice is incorrect. If no response is sent by the LVM Trustee within such Opposition Period, the Reconciliation shall be deemed final as of the relevant Reconciliation Date, and no further dispute resolution shall be permitted. If a response is submitted within such Opposition Period, the Rehabilitator shall resolve such dispute with the LVM Trustee in accordance with these LVM Payment Guidelines and communicate such resolution to the LVM Trustee in writing. Only in the event that a response is submitted within such Opposition Period by the LVM Trustee, and the Management Services Provider issues a written resolution against the LVM Trustee (a “Resolution”), shall the LVM Trustee have the right to file a motion with the Court asserting that the Reconciliation Notice is incorrect. Any such motion must be filed by the LVM Trustee no later than the 30th day after the delivery of such Resolution to the LVM Trustee. If no motion is filed by the 30th day after the delivery of such Resolution to the LVM Trustee, the Reconciliation shall be deemed final as of the relevant Reconciliation Date and no further dispute resolution shall be permitted. If at any time, pursuant to this Section 2.5, the Reconciliation is deemed final and no further dispute resolution shall be permitted, the Management Services Provider and the Rehabilitator’s calculation of the Deferred Loss Amount shall apply for the purposes of these LVM Payment Guidelines.
2.6Allocation Schedules.
To assist with the Reconciliation process contemplated by this Article 2, following the receipt by the LVM Trustee of any Payment in respect of a Permitted LVM Policy Claim under the Plan, the LVM Trustee shall, on or before the Allocation Schedule Deadline, submit to the Management Services Provider, by e-mail to claimsprocessing@ambac.com, a fully completed and duly executed Allocation Schedule in respect of the application of such Payment, in the form attached to the Proof of Policy Claim Form which is set forth in Exhibit B to these LVM Payment Guidelines.
2.7Deferred Payments.
The Rehabilitator may determine to make a Deferred Payment if, based on an analysis of the estimated liabilities and available claims-paying resources of the Segregated Account, the Rehabilitator has determined, in his sole and absolute discretion, that such action is equitable to the interests of the Holders of Policy Claims and LVM Policy Claims generally. The Rehabilitator shall announce his intention to make a Deferred Payment, by filing with the Court and posting on the Website a Deferred Payment Notice. The Rehabilitator shall determine the Deferred Payment Percentage in connection with any such Deferred Payment in his sole and absolute discretion, based on such analysis. In determining whether a Deferred Payment is equitable to the interests of the Holders of Policy Claims and LVM Policy Claims generally, the Rehabilitator shall consider whether, in conjunction with any such Deferred Payment, among other things, the Interim Payment Percentage should be increased under Section 2.3 of these LVM Payment Guidelines. Deferred Payment Notices shall identify the Deferred Payment Percentage and the anticipated Deferred Payment Date for the Deferred Payment.
2.8Deferred Payments under the Non-LVM Payment Guidelines.
Whenever a Deferred Payment is made in accordance with the Non-LVM Payment Guidelines, a Deferred Payment shall be made in accordance with these LVM Payment Guidelines, using the same Deferred Payment Percentage. Similarly, whenever the Interim Payment Percentage is increased in accordance with the Non-LVM Payment Guidelines, the Interim Payment Percentage shall be increased by the same amount in accordance with these LVM Payment Guidelines.
2.9Eligibility for Deferred Payments.
The LVM Trustee shall not be eligible to receive a Deferred Payment announced by the Rehabilitator pursuant to these LVM Payment Guidelines until the later of the relevant Deferred Payment Date and the Payment Date following the first Determination Date on which (i) it and each LVM Holder of the Insured Obligation relating to such Permitted LVM Policy Claim are not in violation of the Plan, the Injunction, these LVM Payment Guidelines, or any other order of the Court relating to the Segregated Account, (ii) all Reconciliations of Deferred Loss Amounts relating to such Insured Obligation have been finally determined in accordance with these Payment Guidelines, and (iii) it has provided all information and supporting documentation reasonably requested by the Rehabilitator and the Management Services Provider pursuant to these LVM Payment Guidelines.
2.10Procedure for Deferred Payments.
For each LVM Holder eligible to receive a Deferred Payment announced by the Rehabilitator pursuant to Section 2.7, as determined by the Rehabilitator in his sole and absolute discretion, the Segregated Account shall, on or before the Deferred Payment Date, in satisfaction of its liabilities under the Permitted LVM Policy Claim (insofar as they relate to the portion of such Deferred Payment Amount attributable to the Deferred Loss Amount), pay the Deferred Payment relating to such Insured Obligation to the LVM Trustee or a Paying Agent, as applicable, in an amount equal to the product of (i) the Deferred Payment Percentage announced by the Rehabilitator and (ii) the sum of (y) the Deferred Loss Amount set forth in the most recent Reconciliation Notice (or, if the LVM Trustee has disputed a Reconciliation Notice in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.5 of these LVM Payment Guidelines, the Deferred Loss Amount determined as a result of such dispute resolution procedures) and (z) the aggregate of all outstanding Accretion Amounts posted by the Rehabilitator

72




to the Website pursuant to Section 2.5 of these LVM Payment Guidelines. The LVM Trustee shall, in accordance with the Transaction Documents as soon as reasonably practicable following the Deferred Payment Date on which the Deferred Payments were made, distribute to the LVM Holders all Deferred Payment Amounts (a) in respect of Deferred Loss Amounts, in accordance with the most recent Reconciliation Notice (or, if the LVM Trustee has disputed a Reconciliation Notice in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.5 of these LVM Payment Guidelines, then in accordance with the result of such dispute resolution procedures), and (b) in respect of Accretion Amounts, in accordance with the written direction of the Management Services Provider, on behalf of the Rehabilitator. If any Accretion Amounts are paid to the LVM Trustee in its capacity as LVM Trustee, then the LVM Trustee shall establish a separate account solely for the purpose of paying Accretion Amounts and such amounts shall not be paid to or through any trust or REMIC to any LVM Holder.
2.11Paying Agent Obligations.
If, in accordance with the Plan, the Segregated Account has retained and elects to use (in the sole and absolute discretion of the Rehabilitator) a Paying Agent in connection with any Deferred Payment relating to an Insured Obligation, then the Paying Agent, unless otherwise directed by the Rehabilitator, shall: (i) on the Deferred Payment Date, distribute all Deferred Payment Amounts in respect of Deferred Loss Amounts relating to such Insured Obligation to the LVM Trustee using the account information provided in the most recent Proof of LVM Policy Claim Form, and the LVM Trustee shall then distribute such Deferred Loss Amounts to the LVM Holders of such Insured Obligations to which such Deferred Loss Amounts apply; and (ii) on or before the next occurring Payment Date relating to the relevant Insured Obligation, distribute any Deferred Payment Amounts in respect of Accretion Amounts directly to the then-current LVM Holders of the Insured Obligation via DTC or in such other manner that is reasonably available to the Paying Agent. The LVM Trustee shall permit, and provide any authorization, direction or special direction (but not indemnification) needed for, the Segregated Account, AAC, any Paying Agent and/or DTC to make, process and/or accept any Payments (including, without limitation, Accretion Amounts) contemplated by these LVM Payment Guidelines.
2.12Reimbursements on LVM Policy Claims.
Notwithstanding the Proceeding, any provisions of the Interim Cash Payment Rules or the 2012 LVM Payment Rules, the Plan, the Disclosure Statement and/or any amendments thereto, unless waived in writing by the Management Services Provider or the Rehabilitator (following consultation with AAC), AAC shall be entitled to collect any Reimbursement Amounts that it becomes, or is, entitled to receive under the Transaction Documents in relation to any: (i) payments made prior to the Petition Date pursuant to, and in accordance with, the LVM Policy and any related Transaction Documents; (ii) payments made according to the 2012 LVM Payment Rules; (iii) Payments made (other than Accretion Amounts); and (iv) other amounts paid by or on behalf of the Segregated Account in respect of an Insured Obligation, and in any case where such payment is made by a Person other than AAC, then in each such case as if AAC had paid such amount under the LVM Policy to the LVM Holder directly.
2.13Recoveries on LVM Policy Claims.
Notwithstanding the Proceeding, any provisions of the Interim Cash Payment Rules, the 2012 LVM Payment Rules, these LVM Payment Guidelines, the Plan, the Disclosure Statement and/or any amendments or supplements thereto, the Segregated Account shall be entitled, in the Rehabilitator’s sole and absolute discretion, to reduce its obligations under the Plan to the LVM Trustee and the LVM Holders of Permitted LVM Policy Claims by any Recovery Amounts attributable to such LVM Holders and LVM Bonds, whether by (i) reducing the amount of any Payments to the LVM Trustee or the LVM Holders; or (ii) reducing the Deferred Amount(s) established for such LVM Holders in accordance with Section 2.4 of these LVM Payment Guidelines. No LVM Holder of a Permitted LVM Policy Claim or the LVM Trustee may apply a Recovery Amount in a manner inconsistent with the determination by the Segregated Account pursuant to this Section 2.13. The LVM Trustee shall maintain a written record (a copy of which shall be available to the Rehabilitator upon request) of all amounts paid by the Las Vegas Monorail Company in respect of the Chapter 11 Bonds.
2.14Supplemental Payments.
The Rehabilitator may, at any time, direct the Management Services Provider to make a Supplemental Payment to the LVM Trustee for the benefit of any LVM Holder of a Permitted LVM Policy Claim. Supplemental Payments may be made in one lump sum, or in varying proportions in certain months or time periods as appropriate, and may include, on a case-by-case basis, payments of all or a portion of any Deferred Amount. The Rehabilitator shall use his (sole and absolute) discretion to monitor and manage Supplemental Payments to maximize Reimbursement Amounts, and to minimize Supplemental Payments in excess of the available reimbursements.
2.15Assignment of Rights.
Without prejudice to (i) the terms and provisions of the LVM Policy and any related Transaction Document and (ii) any assignment previously executed, whether pursuant to a Proof of LVM Policy Claim Form or otherwise, upon receipt of any Payment or any other amount paid by or on behalf of the Segregated Account, each LVM Holder of such Permitted LVM

73




Policy Claim shall be deemed to have assigned its rights relating to the amount of such Payment under the Transaction Document(s) to AAC.
2.16Treatment of LVM Policy Claims Paid Prior to the Effective Date.
On the Effective Date, each LVM Policy Claim paid pursuant to the 2012 LVM Payment Rules shall be deemed to be Permitted under the Plan, effective as of the date of such payment. In all respects, such LVM Policy Claim shall be treated in a manner consistent with the treatment of other Permitted LVM Policy Claims under the Plan. By way of example only, any payment made pursuant to the 2012 LVM Payment Rules (other than a Supplemental Payment) shall be deemed to have been an Interim Payment, and a Deferred Amount shall be established and calculated for such Claim in accordance with Section 2.4 of these LVM Payment Guidelines, including Accretion Amounts commencing on the next Payment Date after which the first Interim Payment was deemed to be paid (regardless of whether or when such Deferred Amount is ultimately paid by a Deferred Payment, Supplemental Payment, or otherwise). In the event that the Interim Payment Percentage is greater than 25% on the Effective Date of the Plan, the Rehabilitator shall direct the Management Services Provider to make a Deferred Payment to the LVM Trustee for the benefit of each LVM Holder of an LVM Policy Claim who received an Interim Payment pursuant to the 2012 LVM Payment Rules, and who is eligible for such Deferred Payment pursuant to these LVM Payment Guidelines, based upon a Deferred Payment Percentage equal to (x) such Interim Payment Percentage in excess of 25%, divided by (y) 75%, with the Deferred Amount being calculated in accordance with Section 2.4 of these LVM Payment Guidelines. Any subsequent increases to the Interim Payment Percentage or any Deferred Payment for LVM Policy Claims paid pursuant to the 2012 LVM Payment Rules shall be made in accordance with Sections 2.3 and 2.7 of these LVM Payment Guidelines.
ARTICLE III

Claims Resolution Procedures

3.1Disputed Claims.
The Rehabilitator or the Management Services Provider may raise an Objection to any Pending LVM Policy Claim on any ground, including, but not limited to, the ground that the Rehabilitator or the Management Services Provider lacks sufficient information to evaluate such Pending LVM Policy Claim, that the amount submitted as an LVM Policy Claim is not valid, or that such LVM Policy Claim is a Duplicate Claim or a Late Claim, by providing the LVM Trustee or its representative (as applicable) with written notice of the substance of the Objection. The Rehabilitator or the Management Services Provider may, in their discretion, raise an Objection to all or any portion of a Pending LVM Policy Claim. No later than the sixtieth (60th) day after the delivery of such written notice of Objection to the LVM Trustee or its representative (the “Opposition Period”), the LVM Trustee, if it wishes to dispute such Objection, shall send to the Management Services Provider a written response to the Objection. Such written response (and any related written communications) shall be delivered by email to:
claimsprocessing@ambac.com
with a copy to:
claimsobjections@ambac.com
The response must clearly set forth all facts and the legal basis, if any, for the opposition and the reasons why the LVM Policy Claim should be a Permitted LVM Policy Claim. If no response is sent by the LVM Trustee within such Opposition Period, the LVM Policy Claim, or the portion in respect of which the Rehabilitator has raised an Objection, as applicable, shall become a Disallowed Claim without order of the Court and no further dispute resolution shall be permitted. If a response is submitted within such Opposition Period, the Rehabilitator shall resolve such dispute in accordance with these LVM Payment Guidelines (including by considering any excusable neglect, in the case of a Late Claim) and communicate such resolution to the LVM Trustee in writing (a “Resolution”). Only in the event that a response is submitted within such Opposition Period by the LVM Trustee and the Rehabilitator issues a written Resolution that such Disputed Claim is fully or partially a Disallowed Claim, shall the LVM Trustee have the right to file a motion with the Court asserting that the Rehabilitator improperly disallowed all or any portion of such LVM Policy Claim. Any such motion must be filed by the LVM Trustee no later than the thirtieth (30th) day after the delivery of such Resolution to the LVM Trustee.
3.2Setoffs.
The Rehabilitator may set off in whole or in part against any Permitted LVM Policy Claim, any Payment, Deferred Amount, or any other amount established, paid or payable by or on behalf of the Segregated Account on account of such Permitted LVM Policy Claim all claims, rights, and causes of action of any nature that the Rehabilitator, AAC or the Segregated

74




Account may have against the LVM Holder of such Permitted LVM Policy Claim that are not otherwise waived, released, or compromised in accordance with the Plan. Neither the failure to effect such a setoff nor the determination that any LVM Policy Claim is Permitted under the Plan will constitute a waiver or release by the Rehabilitator, AAC or the Segregated Account of any such claims, rights, and causes of action, notwithstanding any compulsory counterclaim rules or requirements to the contrary.
3.3Subsequent Adjustments.
If the Rehabilitator or the Management Services Provider determines that any amount of the Cash received by the LVM Trustee as a Payment, a payment under the 2012 LVM Payment Rules, or any other amount paid by or on behalf of the Segregated Account was incorrect, the Rehabilitator or the Management Services Provider may, as necessary to account for such error: (i) recoup from the LVM Trustee the amount of such Payments or other amounts paid by the Segregated Account; (ii) adjust the amount of the Cash paid in respect of the relevant Insured Obligation in one or more subsequent Payments of other Permitted LVM Policy Claims; or (iii) reduce the LVM Holder’s then applicable Deferred Amount for the relevant Insured Obligation (each, a “Subsequent Adjustment”), by providing the LVM Trustee or its representative (as applicable) with a Subsequent Adjustment Notice. No later than the sixtieth (60th) day after the delivery of the Subsequent Adjustment Notice to the LVM Trustee or its representative (the “Opposition Period”), the LVM Trustee, if it wishes to dispute such Subsequent Adjustment, shall send to the Management Services Provider a written response to the Subsequent Adjustment Notice. Such written response (and any related written communications) shall be delivered by email to:
claimsprocessing@ambac.com
with a copy to:
claimsobjections@ambac.com
The response must clearly set forth all facts and the legal basis, if any, for the opposition to the Subsequent Adjustment. If no response is sent by the LVM Trustee or its representative within such Opposition Period, the Management Services Provider may make a Subsequent Adjustment and no further dispute resolution shall be permitted. If a response is submitted within such Opposition Period, the Rehabilitator shall resolve such dispute in accordance with these LVM Payment Guidelines and communicate such resolution to the LVM Trustee or its representative. Only in the event that a response has been submitted by the LVM Trustee or its representative within such Opposition Period, and the Rehabilitator nevertheless determines that a Subsequent Adjustment is necessary (a “Resolution”), shall the LVM Trustee have the right to file a motion with the Court asserting that the Subsequent Adjustment was improper. Any such motion must be filed by the LVM Trustee or its representative no later than the thirtieth (30th) day after the delivery of the Resolution to the LVM Trustee or its representative.
3.4Disputes Pending on the Effective Date.
Any LVM Policy Claim disputes or objections that are pending on the Effective Date shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures set forth in the 2012 LVM Payment Rules; provided, however, that any motion asserting that the Rehabilitator improperly disallowed all or any portion of the LVM Policy Claim (as contemplated by the 2012 LVM Payment Rules) shall be filed on or before the date that is: (i) thirty (30) days after (ii) the later of (A) the Effective Date and (B) the date on which the Rehabilitator determined that the Disputed Claim was fully or partially a Disallowed Claim, or, if any such day is not a Business Day, the immediately following Business Day.
3.5Disallowed Claims on or prior to the Effective Date.
Any LVM Policy Claim which has been Disallowed on or prior to the Effective Date pursuant to the 2012 LVM Payment Rules shall be, and shall continue to be, Disallowed under these LVM Payment Guidelines.

SECOND SUPPLEMENT TO THE REHABILITATOR’S MOTION TO AMEND
The Rehabilitator submits this Second Supplement to his April 21, 2014 Motion to Amend by making the following corrections to the wording of the provisions in the proposed Plan Amendments, Payment Guidelines and LVM Payment Guidelines as set forth below.1 These technical changes are being made at the request of the Trustees.
Second supplement to Amendments
2.04    Reconciliation of Deferred Loss Amounts. On a semi-annual basis, in accordance with the procedure set forth in the Payment Guidelines, the Management Services Provider, the Rehabilitator and the Holders of any outstanding Deferred Amounts, including those acting in their capacity as Trustee, shall reconcile the Deferred Loss Amounts relating to such Permitted Policy Claims. Such Holders, and their paying agent or calculating agent, as applicable, shall fully cooperate with the Management Services Provider and the Rehabilitator to complete the Reconciliations, including, without limitation, by providing any information and/or further supporting documentation reasonably requested by the Management Services Provider or the Rehabilitator. All Reconciliation Notices issued by the Management Services Provider are final unless the Holder disputes the Reconciliation Notice in accordance with the procedure set forth in the Payment Guidelines. The Management Services Provider or the Rehabilitator may withhold a Permitted Policy Claim Holder’s Reconciliation Notice, Deferred Payment, or any other Payment if such Holder fails to cooperate fully with the Management Service Provider and the Rehabilitator does not receive the additional information to facilitate the Reconciliations as contemplated by this Section 2.04, or if such Holder, or any party to the transaction relating thereto paying agent or calculating agent, as applicable, is in violation of this Plan, the Injunction, the Payment Guidelines, or any other order of the Court relating to the Segregated Account.
4.11    Terminated Trusts. Notwithstanding the terms of any Transaction Documents to the contrary, at no time throughout the effective duration of this Plan shall any Trustee acting on behalf of and for the benefit of Beneficial Holders, or any other person, be permitted to terminate the trust or an indenture relating to a Policy, or to extinguish or retire, or cause to be extinguished, retired, or terminated, any Insured Obligation insured by such Policy in respect of which a Deferred Amount is continuing, without the express, written consent of AAC and the Rehabilitator. If the terms of the Transaction Documents at any time permit termination, extinguishment or retirement of an Insured Obligation or a trust or indenture, then in such event the Trustee shall, at its election, either (a) continue to serve as Trustee on the same terms and conditions set forth in the Transaction Documents, but at rates authorized by the Rehabilitator, or (b) assign all of its rights and obligations under such Transaction Documents to a trustee/agent designated by the Rehabilitator. Where possible, upon termination, extinguishment or retirement of an Insured Obligation or a trust or indenture, it is not the intention of the Rehabilitator to continue the services required of a Trustee beyond those services necessary to effectuate this Plan, including, but not limited to, the effectuation of Recovery Amounts, Reimbursement Amounts, Reconciliations, Payments and Deferred Payments.

________________________
1
Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Payment Guidelines.
These wording corrections will be reflected in a new redline comparison of the Plan, as amended, to the confirmed Plan of Rehabilitation, which is being filed together with this Second Supplement. That new redline is also being posted with this Supplement on the court-approved website, www.ambacpolicyholders.com.

89




SECOND SUPPLEMENT TO PAYMENT GUIDELINES
2.5    Reconciliation of Deferred Loss Amounts. On a semi-annual basis, in accordance with the schedule set forth below, the Management Services Provider, on behalf of the Segregated Account and the Rehabilitator, and any Holders of any outstanding Deferred Amounts, including those acting in their capacity as Trustee, shall reconcile the Deferred Loss Amounts relating to such Permitted Policy Claims. Such reconciliations (each, a “Reconciliation”) shall be completed with respect to each Policy in respect of which there is an outstanding Deferred Amount, or in the case of a Policy that insures multiple Insured Obligations, each Insured Obligation insured by a Policy by CUSIP (if any) in respect of which there is an outstanding Deferred Amount.
Provided that a Holder, and/or its paying agent or calculating agent, as applicable, has complied with any request of the Management Services Provider (as described below), the Management Services Provider shall complete each Reconciliation by delivering, no later than April 1 and October 1 of each year following the Effective Date (or if any such day is not a Business Day, the first Business Day following such day), a Reconciliation Notice relating to each Policy and the Insured Obligations insured thereunder by CUSIP, as the case may be, to the relevant Holder of the related Deferred Amount, using personal delivery, first class mail or electronic mail, showing the Management Service Provider’s calculation, as of the relevant Reconciliation Date (but not including any Payments made on or after such Reconciliation Date), of the Deferred Loss Amounts relating to such Insured Obligation or Policy. The Reconciliation Date for Reconciliation Notices delivered no later than April 1 shall be January 20 (or, if any such Reconciliation Date is not a Business Day, the first Business Day immediately preceding such Reconciliation Date) of the same calendar year, and the Reconciliation Date for Reconciliation Notices delivered no later than October 1 shall be July 20 of the same calendar year (or if any such Reconciliation Date is not a Business Day, the first Business Day immediately preceding such Reconciliation Date); provided, however, that the first Reconciliation Date following the Effective Date of the Plan shall be July 20, 2014, or the first Payment Date thereafter specified by the Rehabilitator, whichever is later. Following delivery of each of the semi-annual Reconciliation Notices contemplated by this Section 2.5, and, as necessary, completion of any dispute resolution proceedings described below, the Rehabilitator will post to the Website a schedule showing all outstanding Deferred Amounts, including the aggregate of all unpaid and outstanding Accretion Amounts.
The Management Services Provider or the Rehabilitator may, from time to time, ask a Holder to promptly provide, or cause its paying agent or calculating agent, as applicable, to promptly provide, information and/or further supporting documentation in order to evaluate a Deferred Loss Amount and/or a Reconciliation and/or in order to assist the Management Services Provider in preparing a Reconciliation Notice. Such Holder, paying agent or calculating agent shall be required to deliver any such information and/or supporting documentation within the time frame specified for delivery of such information in the reasonable request made by the Management Services Provider or the Rehabilitator and Section 2.9 hereof shall apply if the Holder, paying agent and/or calculating agent does not do so.
If a Holder wishes to dispute, for any reason, a Reconciliation Notice issued by the Management Services Provider, the Holder shall, no later than 45 days after delivery of such Reconciliation Notice (the “Opposition Period”), send to the Management Services Provider a written response to the Reconciliation Notice. Such written response (and any related written communications) shall be delivered by email to:
claimsprocessing@ambac.com
with a copy to:
claimsobjections@ambac.com.
The response must clearly set forth all facts and the legal basis, if any, for the opposition and the reasons why the Reconciliation Notice is incorrect. If no response is sent by the Holder within such Opposition Period, the Reconciliation shall be deemed final as of the relevant Reconciliation Date, and no further dispute resolution shall be permitted. If a response is submitted within such Opposition Period, the Rehabilitator shall resolve such dispute with the Holder in accordance with these Payment Guidelines and communicate such resolution to the Holder in writing. Only in the event that a response is submitted within such Opposition Period by the Holder, and the Management Services Provider issues a written resolution against the Holder (a “Resolution”), shall the Holder have the right to file a motion with the Court asserting that the Reconciliation Notice is incorrect. Any such motion must be filed by the Holder no later than the 30th day after the delivery of such Resolution to the Holder. If no motion is filed by the 30th

90




day after the delivery of such Resolution to the Holder, the Reconciliation shall be deemed final as of the relevant Reconciliation Date and no further dispute resolution shall be permitted. If at any time, pursuant to this Section 2.5, the Reconciliation is deemed final and no further dispute resolution shall be permitted, the Management Services Provider and the Rehabilitator’s calculation of the Deferred Loss Amount shall apply for the purposes of these Payment Guidelines.
2.9    Eligibility for Deferred Payments. A Holder of a Permitted Policy Claim shall not be eligible to receive a Deferred Payment announced by the Rehabilitator pursuant to these Payment Guidelines until the later of the relevant Deferred Payment Date and the Payment Date following the first Determination Date on which (i) it and each Beneficial Holder of the Insured Obligation relating to such Permitted Policy Claim, and any other transaction party paying agent or calculating agent, as applicable, are not in violation of the Plan, the Injunction, these Payment Guidelines, or any other order of the Court relating to the Segregated Account, (ii) all Reconciliations of Deferred Loss Amounts relating to such Insured Obligation have been finally determined in accordance with these Payment Guidelines, and (iii) it, or its’ paying agent or calculating agent, as applicable, has provided all information and supporting documentation reasonably requested by the Rehabilitator and the Management Services Provider pursuant to these Payment Guidelines.
5.14    Terminated Trusts. Notwithstanding the terms of any Transaction Documents to the contrary, at no time throughout the effective duration of the Plan shall any Trustee acting on behalf of and for the benefit of Beneficial Holders, or any other person, be permitted to terminate the trust or an indenture relating to a Policy, or to extinguish or retire, or cause to be extinguished, retired, or terminated, any Insured Obligation insured by such Policy in respect of which a Deferred Amount is continuing, without the express, written consent of AAC and the Rehabilitator. If the terms of the Transaction Documents at any time permit termination, extinguishment or retirement of an Insured Obligation or a trust or indenture, then in such event the Trustee shall, at its election, either (a) continue to serve as Trustee on the same terms and conditions set forth in the Transaction Documents, but at rates authorized by the Rehabilitator, or (b) assign all of its rights and obligations under such Transaction Documents to a trustee/agent designated by the Rehabilitator. Where possible, upon termination, extinguishment or retirement of an Insured Obligation or a trust or indenture, it is not the intention of the Rehabilitator to continue the services required of a Trustee beyond those services necessary to effectuate the Plan, including, but not limited to, the effectuation of Recovery Amounts, Reimbursement Amounts, Reconciliations, Payments and Deferred Payments.
SUPPLEMENT TO LVM PAYMENT GUIDELINES
2.5    Reconciliation of Deferred Loss Amounts. On a semi-annual basis, in accordance with the schedule set forth below, the Management Services Provider, on behalf of the Segregated Account and the Rehabilitator, and the LVM Trustee shall reconcile the Deferred Loss Amounts relating to Permitted LVM Policy Claims. Such reconciliations (each, a “Reconciliation”) shall be completed with respect to each Insured Obligation insured by the LVM Policy by CUSIP in respect of which there is an outstanding Deferred Amount.
Provided that the LVM Trustee has complied with any request of the Management Services Provider (as described below), the Management Services Provider shall complete each Reconciliation by delivering to the LVM Trustee, no later than April 1 and October 1 of each year following the Effective Date (or if any such day is not a Business Day, the first Business Day following such day), a Reconciliation Notice relating to each of the Insured Obligations under the LVM Policy by CUSIP, using personal delivery, first class mail or electronic mail, showing the Management Service Provider’s calculation, as of the relevant Reconciliation Date (but excluding any Payments made on or after such Reconciliation Date), of the Deferred Loss Amounts relating to such Insured Obligation. The Reconciliation Date for Reconciliation Notices delivered no later than April 1 shall be January 20 (or, if any such Reconciliation Date is not a Business Day, the first Business Day immediately preceding such Reconciliation Date) of the same calendar year, and the Reconciliation Date for Reconciliation Notices delivered no later than October 1 shall be July 20 of the same calendar year (or if any such Reconciliation Date is not a Business Day, the first Business Day immediately preceding such Reconciliation Date); provided, however, that the first Reconciliation Date following the Effective Date of the Plan shall be July 20, 2014, or the first Payment Date thereafter specified by the Rehabilitator, whichever is later. Following delivery of each of the semi-annual Reconciliation Notices contemplated by this Section 2.5, and, as necessary, completion of any dispute resolution proceedings described below, the Rehabilitator will post

91




to the Website a schedule showing all outstanding Deferred Amounts, including the aggregate of all unpaid and outstanding Accretion Amounts.
The Management Services Provider or the Rehabilitator may, from time to time, ask the LVM Trustee to promptly provide information and/or further supporting documentation in order to evaluate a Deferred Loss Amount and/or a Reconciliation and/or in order to assist the Management Services Provider in preparing a Reconciliation Notice. The LVM Trustee shall be required to deliver any such information and/or supporting documentation within the time frame specified for delivery of such information in the reasonable request made by the Management Services Provider or the Rehabilitator and Section 2.9 hereof shall apply if the LVM Trustee does not do so.
If the LVM Trustee wishes to dispute, for any reason, a Reconciliation Notice issued by the Management Services Provider, the LVM Trustee shall, no later than 45 days after delivery of such Reconciliation Notice (the “Opposition Period”), send to the Management Services Provider a written response to the Reconciliation Notice. Such written response (and any related written communications) shall be delivered by email to:
claimsprocessing@ambac.com
with a copy to:
claimsobjections@ambac.com.
The response must clearly set forth all facts and the legal basis, if any, for the opposition and the reasons why the Reconciliation Notice is incorrect. If no response is sent by the LVM Trustee within such Opposition Period, the Reconciliation shall be deemed final as of the relevant Reconciliation Date, and no further dispute resolution shall be permitted. If a response is submitted within such Opposition Period, the Rehabilitator shall resolve such dispute with the LVM Trustee in accordance with these LVM Payment Guidelines and communicate such resolution to the LVM Trustee in writing. Only in the event that a response is submitted within such Opposition Period by the LVM Trustee, and the Management Services Provider issues a written resolution against the LVM Trustee (a “Resolution”), shall the LVM Trustee have the right to file a motion with the Court asserting that the Reconciliation Notice is incorrect. Any such motion must be filed by the LVM Trustee no later than the 30th day after the delivery of such Resolution to the LVM Trustee. If no motion is filed by the 30th day after the delivery of such Resolution to the LVM Trustee, the Reconciliation shall be deemed final as of the relevant Reconciliation Date and no further dispute resolution shall be permitted. If at any time, pursuant to this Section 2.5, the Reconciliation is deemed final and no further dispute resolution shall be permitted, the Management Services Provider and the Rehabilitator’s calculation of the Deferred Loss Amount shall apply for the purposes of these LVM Payment Guidelines.
2.9    Eligibility for Deferred Payments. The LVM Trustee shall not be eligible to receive a Deferred Payment announced by the Rehabilitator pursuant to these LVM Payment Guidelines until the later of the relevant Deferred Payment Date and the Payment Date following the first Determination Date on which (i) it and each LVM Holder of the Insured Obligation relating to such Permitted LVM Policy Claim, and any other transaction party, are not in violation of the Plan, the Injunction, these LVM Payment Guidelines, or any other order of the Court relating to the Segregated Account, (ii) all Reconciliations of Deferred Loss Amounts relating to such Insured Obligation have been finally determined in accordance with these Payment Guidelines, and (iii) it has provided all information and supporting documentation reasonably requested by the Rehabilitator and the Management Services Provider pursuant to these LVM Payment Guidelines.
4.15    Terminated Trusts. Notwithstanding the terms of any Transaction Documents to the contrary, at no time throughout the effective duration of the Plan shall the LVM Trustee, or any other person, be permitted to terminate the trust or indenture relating to the LVM Policy, or to extinguish or retire, or cause to be extinguished, retired, or terminated, any Insured Obligation insured by the LVM Policy in respect of which a Deferred Amount is continuing, without the express, written consent of AAC and the Rehabilitator. If the terms of the Transaction Documents at any time permit termination, extinguishment or retirement of an Insured Obligation or a trust or indenture, then in such event the LVM Trustee shall, at its election, either (a) continue to serve as LVM Trustee on the same terms and conditions set forth in the Transaction Documents but at rates authorized by the Rehabilitator, or (b) assign all of its rights and obligations under such Transaction Documents to a trustee/agent designated by the Rehabilitator. Where possible, upon

92




termination, extinguishment or retirement of an Insured Obligation or a trust or indenture, it is not the intention of the Rehabilitator to continue the services required of the LVM Trustee beyond those services necessary to effectuate the Plan, including, but not limited to, the effectuation of Recovery Amounts, Reimbursement Amounts, Reconciliations, Payments and Deferred Payments.
