Prepayment Application Protocol
Prepayment Application Protocol
(a) Subject to paragraph (b) below, the gross amount of any prepayment pursuant to Section 2.09 or
Section 2.10 of the Credit Agreement shall be allocated as follows:
(A) The portion of the gross amount of any prepayment to be allocated to accrued interest
on the Original Principal Amount for the period ending on the next following Quarterly
Payment Date (“current interest”) will be (i) the amount of the gross prepayment
times (ii) a fraction (x) the numerator of which is the amount of interest accrued
on the Original Principal Amount from and including the last Quarterly Payment Date on or
prior to the date the related prepayment is to be made to but not including such date of
prepayment and (y) the denominator of which is the sum of the Original Principal Amount
immediately prior to giving effect to such prepayment plus the amount in (ii)(x).
(B) The balance of the gross prepayment shall be applied to the Original Principal Amount.
(C) The balance, if any, of the gross amount shall be applied to pay the remaining
principal amount of, and current interest on, the Loans outstanding in the manner and
order as described in this paragraph (a).
For avoidance of doubt, the amount referred to in clause (A)(ii)(x) in the case of a prepayment on
a Quarterly Payment Date will be zero, so that 100% of any prepayment on any Quarterly Payment Date
will be applied pursuant to clauses (A) and (B) of this paragraph (a).
(b) If, following the application of the gross amount of any prepayment required pursuant to
Section 2.10 of the Credit Agreement in accordance with paragraph (a) above there would be any
Original Principal Amount outstanding, then:
(A) the amount that would otherwise be allocated to Original Principal Amount pursuant to
clause (a)(B) above shall be rounded down to the minimum extent necessary so that such
amount is an integral multiple of $10,000,000;
(B) the amount that would otherwise be allocated to current interest pursuant to clause
(a)(A) above shall be reduced to the amount of interest that has accrued on the amount
referred to in clause (b)(A) above.

and any other subsequently issued series of serial preferred
stock that is not issued to the United States Department of the

the transfer of the Preferred Stock or common stock received on
conversion of the Preferred Stock. |

that are reasonably determined by AIG to be material and will
assist the Trust in such matters. |
