Prepayment of Notes (a) The Company at its option may, upon ten days' written notice to the Holders, at any time, prepay all or any part of the principal amount of Notes at a redemption price equal to 101% (or, if the Company shall have paid the fee required by Section 6.18(b), 100%) of the principal amount of Notes so prepaid, together with accrued interest through the date of prepayment; provided, 18 that the redemption price shall be 103% of par plus accrued interest if the Notes are refunded (whether at the time of redemption or maturity) with or in anticipation of funds raised by any financing transaction in which DLJSC has not acted as sole agent or underwriter to the Company (unless DLJSC, in its sole discretion, shall have consented thereto). (b) The Company shall, promptly upon the receipt by the Company of the Net Cash Proceeds of any Designated Transaction, prepay an aggregate principal amount of Notes equal to the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds, at a redemption price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Notes so prepaid, together with accrued interest through the date of prepayment; provided, that the redemption price shall be 103% of par plus accrued interest if the Notes are refunded (whether at the time of redemption or maturity) with or in anticipation of funds raised by any financing transaction in which DLJSC has not acted as sole agent or underwriter to the Company (other than a fully underwritten bank financing pursuant to a signed commitment letter containing only such conditions as are usual and customary in such financings and which does not contain any condition relating to the successful syndication of such transaction); and provided, further, that Notes shall be required to be so prepaid only to the extent that Net Cash Proceeds from all Designated Transactions on and after the date hereof exceed $1,000,000. (c) The Company shall, immediately upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, prepay all Notes then outstanding at a redemption price equal to 103% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued interest through the date of prepayment. (d) Any prepayment of the Notes pursuant to Section 2.6(a) shall be in a minimum amount of at least $1,000,000 and multiples of $1,000,000, unless less than $1,000,000 of the Notes remains outstanding, in which case all of the Notes must be prepaid. Any prepayment of the Notes pursuant to Section 2.6(b) shall be in a minimum amount which is a multiple of $1,000 times the number of Holders at the time of such prepayment. (e) Any partial prepayment shall be made so that the Notes then held by each Holder shall be prepaid in a principal amount which shall bear the same ratio, as nearly as may be, to the total principal amount being prepaid as the principal amount of such Notes held by such Holder shall bear to the aggregate principal amount of all Notes then outstanding. In the 19 event of a partial prepayment, upon presentation of any Note the Company shall execute and deliver to or on the order of the Holder, at the expense of the Company, a new Note in principal amount equal to the remaining outstanding portion of such Note.
Designation of the Trust, the Notes, the Funding Agreement and the Guarantee The Trust created by the Trust Agreement and referred to in the Indenture is the Principal Life Income Fundings Trust specified in the Omnibus Instrument. The Notes issued by the Trust and governed by the Indenture shall be the Notes specified in the Pricing Supplement. The Funding Agreement designated hereby is the Funding Agreement designated in the Pricing Supplement dated as of the Original Issue Date between the Trust and Principal Life. The Guarantee designated hereby is the Guarantee dated as of the Original Issue Date of PFG.
Action by or Consent of Noteholders and Certificateholder Whenever any provision of this Agreement refers to action to be taken, or consented to, by the Noteholders or the Certificateholder, such provision shall be deemed to refer to the Noteholders or the Certificateholder, as the case may be, of record as of the Record Date immediately preceding the date on which such action is to be taken, or consent given, by Noteholders or the Certificateholder. Solely for the purposes of any action to be taken, or consented to, by Noteholders or the Certificateholder, any Note or the Certificate registered in the name of the Seller or any Affiliate thereof shall be deemed not to be outstanding; provided, however, that, solely for the purpose of determining whether the Trustee or the Trust Collateral Agent is entitled to rely upon any such action or consent, only Notes or the Certificate which the Owner Trustee or a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or the Trust Collateral Agent, respectively, has actual knowledge is so owned shall be so disregarded.
Amendments With Consent of Certificateholders and Noteholders This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor and the Owner Trustee with the consent of Noteholders whose Notes evidence not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class as of the close of the preceding Distribution Date and, if any Person other than the Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor holds any Certificates, the consent of the Majority Certificateholders as of the close of the preceding Distribution Date (which consent, whether given pursuant to this Section 8.2 or pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement, shall be conclusive and binding on such Person and on all future holders of such Notes or Certificates and of any Notes or Certificates issued upon the transfer thereof or in exchange thereof or in lieu thereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon any Notes or Certificates) for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement, or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Noteholders or the Certificateholders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall (a) without the consent of the holder of the affected Note or Certificate, as applicable, increase or reduce the interest rate or principal amount of any Note or change any Distribution Date or the Final Scheduled Distribution Date of any Note or distributions on the Certificates (without the consent of the holders hereof), (b) increase or reduce the amount of the required Specified Reserve Account Balance without the consent of all of the Noteholders or Certificateholders then outstanding, (c) adversely affect the rating of any Securities by any of the Rating Agencies without the consent of the holders of two-thirds of the Outstanding Amount of an affected class of Notes or two-thirds of the Voting Interests of affected Certificates, as appropriate, each as of the close of the preceding Distribution Date or (d) reduce the aforesaid percentage required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of the holders of all Notes and Certificates then outstanding. The Depositor shall furnish notice to each of the Rating Agencies prior to obtaining consent to any proposed amendment under this Section 8.2. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, an Opinion of Counsel shall be delivered to the effect that such amendment would not cause the Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes.
Control by Noteholders The Holders of Notes representing a majority of the Outstanding Amount shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Indenture Trustee; provided that: (i) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture; (ii) subject to the terms of Section 5.04, any direction to the Indenture Trustee to sell or liquidate the Owner Trust Estate shall be by the Holders of Notes representing not less than 100% of the Outstanding Amount; (iii) if the conditions set forth in Section 5.05 have been satisfied and the Indenture Trustee elects to retain the Owner Trust Estate pursuant to such Section, then any direction to the Indenture Trustee by the Holders of Notes representing less than 100% of the Outstanding Amount to sell or liquidate the Owner Trust Estate shall be of no force and effect; and (iv) the Indenture Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Indenture Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction. Notwithstanding the rights of Noteholders set forth in this Section, subject to Section 6.01, the Indenture Trustee need not take any action for which it will not be adequately indemnified or might materially adversely affect the rights of any Noteholders not consenting to such action.
Notification to Noteholders and Certificateholders Upon any termination of, or appointment of a successor to, the Servicer pursuant to this Article VII, the Indenture Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Noteholders and the Depositor, who promptly shall provide such notice to the Rating Agencies, and the Owner Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Certificateholders.

Registration of the Notes and Each Note Holder The Agent shall keep or cause to be kept at the Agent Office books (the “Note Register”) for the registration and transfer of the Notes. The Agent shall serve as the initial note registrar and the Agent hereby accepts such appointment. The names and addresses of the holders of the Notes and the names and addresses of any transferee of any Note of which the Agent has received notice, in the form of a copy of the assignment and assumption agreement referred to in this Section 15, shall be registered in the Note Register. The Person in whose name a Note is so registered shall be deemed and treated as the sole owner and holder thereof for all purposes of this Agreement. Upon request of a Note Holder, the Agent shall provide such party with the names and addresses of each other Note Holder. To the extent the Trustee or another party is appointed as Agent hereunder, each Note Holder hereby designates such person as its agent under this Section 15 solely for purposes of maintaining the Note Register. In connection with any Transfer of a Note (but excluding any Pledgee unless and until it realizes on its Pledge), a transferee shall execute an assignment and assumption agreement (unless the transferee is a Securitization Trust and the related pooling and servicing agreement requires the parties thereto to comply with this Agreement), whereby such transferee assumes all of the obligations of the applicable Note Holder hereunder with respect to such Note thereafter accruing and agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, including the applicable restriction on Transfers set forth in Section 14, from and after the date of such assignment. No transfer of a Note may be made unless it is registered on the Note Register, and the Agent shall not recognize any attempted or purported transfer of any Note in violation of the provisions of Section 14 and this Section 15. Any such purported transfer shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee. Each Note Holder desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Agent and each other Note Holder against any liability that may result if the transfer is not made in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
