2.2    Policy Claims.  
(a)    Satisfaction in Full of Pre-Record Date Deferred Amounts with Pre-Record Date Deferred Amount Consideration.
(i)    Treatment of Holders Other than AFG.  Each Holder of a Pre-Record Date Deferred Amount (other than AFG) after consummation of the Initial Exchange and the Exchange Offers, shall be entitled to receive, in full and final satisfaction of such Pre-Record Date Deferred Amount (x) Cash equal to 45.7% of such Pre-Record Date 

27

Deferred Amount, and (y) Senior Secured Notes in an amount equal to 46.9% of such Pre-Record Date Deferred Amount, ((x) and (y), collectively, being referred to herein as “Pre-Record Date Deferred Amount Consideration”).  Subject to Section 3.3(c) of this Plan, such payment of Pre-Record Date Deferred Amount Consideration, as provided herein, shall constitute full and complete payment and settlement of such Pre-Record Date Deferred Amount and any related Accretion Amount.  Each Holder of a Pre-Record Date Deferred Amount (other than AFG) and each Beneficial Holder of any Insured Obligation related to a Pre-Record Date Deferred Amount shall, after consummation of the Initial Exchange and the Exchange Offers, be required to accept the Pre-Record Date Deferred Amount Consideration issued to such Holder in accordance with this Plan, in lieu of any cash payments required to be made to such holders, in full and complete satisfaction of such cash payment obligation of the Segregated Account in respect of the Permitted Policy Claim allowed to such holders (which relates to the relevant Pre-Record Date Deferred Amount), regardless of the existence of any provision in any Policy, the 2011 Plan, the First Amended Plan, or any other underlying instrument(s) or contract(s) that would require, or that contemplates, the discharge of the obligations of the Segregated Account through the payment of Cash.  AAC may, subject to the Rehabilitator’s approval, in lieu of the Pre-Record Date Deferred Amount Consideration allocated to a Holder, provide an alternative consideration package to such Pre-Record Date Deferred Amount Consideration, in an amount equal to such Pre-Record Date Deferred Amount Consideration, to the extent that AAC determines, in its sole discretion, that doing so is necessary or advisable to maintain compliance with any legal or regulatory requirements applicable to AAC or the Segregated Account.

28

(ii)    Treatment of AFG.  AFG, shall be entitled to receive, in full and final satisfaction of any Pre-Record Date Deferred Amounts that it holds or to which it is beneficially entitled (including any Pre-Record Date Deferred Amounts received by AFG pursuant to the Initial Exchange) after consummation of the Initial Exchange and the Exchange Offers, Senior Secured Notes in an amount equal to 91.3% of such Pre-Record Date Deferred Amounts.

With respect to each Pre-Record Date Deferred Amount, the Pre-Record Date Deferred Amount Discount shall be applied against any Accretion Amounts related to such Pre-Record Date Deferred Amount-and, to the extent such Accretion Amounts are insufficient to satisfy the Pre-Record Date Deferred Amount Discount on such Pre-Record Date Deferred Amount, (a) if such Pre-Record Date 

29

Deferred Amount relates to an Insured Obligation that is Undercollateralized, the remainder of such Pre-Record Date Deferred Amount Discount shall be applied against the Pre-Record Date Deferred Loss Amount portion of such Pre-Record Date Deferred Amount, and (b) if such Pre-Record Date Deferred Amount relates to an Insured Obligation that is not Undercollateralized, the remainder of such Pre-Record Date Deferred Amount Discount shall not be applied against the Pre-Record Date Deferred Loss Amount portion of such Pre-Record Date Deferred Amount and instead shall be waived.  To the extent such waiver of the Pre-Record Date Deferred Amount Discount results in an adjustment to the total amount of Pre-Record Date Deferred Amount Consideration to be distributed to Holders, such adjustment shall be paid in Cash.  
(iv)    Eligibility Distribution Record Date.  To be eligible to receive the Pre-Record Date Deferred Amount Consideration, Beneficial Holders of Insured Obligations in respect of Pre-Record Date Deferred Amounts calculated pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Payment Guidelines or the Amended Payment Guidelines, as the case may be, must be the Beneficial Holders of record as of the Eligibility Distribution Record Date.
(v)    Total Effective Consideration.  Except as otherwise provided this Plan, after consummation of the Initial Exchange and the Exchange Offers, the Distribution of the Pre-Record Date Deferred Amount Consideration shall not cause any Holder of Pre-Record Date Deferred Amounts to receive an effective consideration package of more than (a) 40% Cash, (b) 41% Senior Secured Notes, (c) 12.5% GA SSNs, and (d) a 6.5% discount.  Except as otherwise provided by this Plan, after consummation of the Initial Exchange and

(b)    Payment in Full in Cash of Permitted Post-Record Date Policy Claims.  Each Holder of a Permitted Post-Record Date Policy Claim shall be entitled to receive, in full and final satisfaction of such Post-Record Date Policy Claim, Cash equal to the amount of such Permitted Post-Record Date Policy Claim.  Such payment of Cash, as provided herein, shall constitute full and complete payment and settlement of such Permitted Post-Record Date Policy Claim.  Payments made on account of Permitted Post-Record Date Policy Claims will be paid in accordance with the Amended Payment Guidelines, and as set forth below, and any disputes with respect to Post-Record Date Claims will be administered according to the procedures set forth in the Amended Payment Guidelines.  
(i)    Interim Payments.  Pursuant to the Amended Payment Guidelines, the Claims Administrator shall pay to the Holder of a Permitted Post-Record Date Policy Claim an Interim Payment on the first Distribution Date occurring after the Determination Date by which such Post-Record Date Policy Claim has been determined to be a Permitted Policy Claim and shall establish a Post-Record Date Deferred Amount.
(ii)    Final Post-Record Date Payment.  Pursuant to the Amended Payment Guidelines, the Claims Administrator shall pay to the Holder of a Permitted Post-Record Date Deferred Amount a Final Post-Record Date Payment on the earlier of (x) the close of any Opposition Period or (y) the date that the amount of the Permitted Post-Record 

31

Date Policy Claim has been fixed, whether by agreement between the Claims Administrator and the Holder, or pursuant to a Final Order, but in no event shall such Final Post-Record Date Payment be made prior to the Effective Date.  
(c)    Effect of Settlement of RMBS Litigation on Pre-Record Date Deferred Amount Consideration.  If, before the Effective Date, AAC or the Segregated Account receives, in full or partial satisfaction of one or more of their claims in the RMBS Litigation, proceeds on account of such claims (net of all amounts paid or payable to reimburse reinsurers for the amounts paid by reinsurers in connection with the receipt of such proceeds, but not the amount of any cost or fee (including legal fees) incurred in connection with the RMBS Litigation), or AAC provides the benefit of such proceeds to the Segregated Account through operation of the Reinsurance Agreement, such proceeds (in an amount not exceeding $1.4 billion) shall replace Senior Secured Notes (having a face amount equal to the amount of such proceeds) that would otherwise be issued to Holders of Pre-Record Date Deferred Amounts as Pre-Record Date Deferred Amount Consideration, in each case to the extent such proceeds would have been payable to Holders had such settlement proceeds instead been received immediately after issuance of the Senior Secured Notes.  Any issuance of the Senior Secured Notes shall be reduced by an amount equal to the aforementioned net proceeds and such amount of net proceeds as would be received by AAC hereunder shall instead be paid in Cash to such Holders of Pre-Record Date Deferred Amounts (other than AAC) as if AAC had pledged such proceeds and such proceeds were used to prepay the Senior Secured Notes, thereby further reducing the issuance of the Senior Secured Notes to such Holders and AAC.

Holders of SA SSNs, and SA JSNs, shall not be entitled to receive any payment or other consideration directly or indirectly as a result of (i) the occurrence of the Effective Date or the transactions contemplated by this Plan to occur on the Effective Date, (ii) the existence, approval or effectiveness of this Plan, or (iii) the payment and issuance of the Pre-Record Date Deferred Amount Consideration; provided that the SA SSNs and SA JSNs will continue to remain outstanding as of the Effective Date, with AAC as the obligor thereunder as a result of the Merger.  For the avoidance of doubt, while Section 2.05 of the First Amended Plan shall have no further force or effect on and after the Effective Date, the foregoing shall not affect any rights arising under Section 2.05 of the First Amended Plan in connection with Distributions, if any, paid or payable to Holders of SA SSNs and SA JSNs prior to the Effective Date.

ARTICLE 3
MEANS FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF PLAN

3.1    Administration of this Plan.  From and after the Effective Date, neither the Management Services Provider nor the Rehabilitator shall have any continuing responsibility, obligation, or role with respect to this Plan or any matter governed thereby, and AAC in its capacity 

33

as Claims Administrator shall perform all responsibilities, duties and obligations ascribed to it in this Plan and the Amended Payment Guidelines.

3.2    Merger of the Segregated Account.  On the Effective Date, the Segregated Account shall merge with and into AAC, such that (on such date): (i) full ownership and control over all assets and liabilities of the Segregated Account shall transfer by operation of law to AAC, (ii) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all Policies, contracts, other assets (including the Segregated Account’s equity ownership interests in ACP, Ambac Conduit Funding, LLC, and Juneau Investments, LLC) and liabilities that were previously allocated to the Segregated Account in accordance with Wis. Stat. § 611.24, shall be reallocated/returned to AAC pursuant to Wis. Stat. § 645.35(2), (iii) all liens and security interests arising under the Operative Documents shall be terminated and the Ambac Parties shall be released from any and all obligations, including liens and security interests, except as may otherwise be provided in the Plan, (iv) the Rehabilitator shall no longer be in possession of any assets of the Segregated Account under Wis. Stat. § 634.33(2), and (v) the separate existence of the Segregated Account shall cease.  From and after the Effective Date, any references to either the Segregated Account or the General Account shall instead be deemed to refer to AAC.

3.3    Initial Exchange.
(a)    On the Effective Date, immediately prior to the consummation of the Exchange Offers and the Distributions described in the Plan, the Initial Exchange shall be consummated specifically by means of the following steps:

34

(i)    The Pre-Record Date Deferred Amounts of Non-Ambac Holders shall be reduced by an estimated aggregate amount of $282 million representing 12.5% of all Pre-Record Date Deferred Amounts held by Non-Ambac Holders, such reduction to be effected on a pro rata basis among such Non-Ambac Holders based on their Pre-Record Date Deferred Amounts;
(ii)    The Pre-Record Date Deferred Amounts of AFG shall be increased by an estimated aggregate amount of $129 million equal to (a) all GA SSNs and SA SSNs held by AFG as of the Record Date, less (b) $100 million, and less (c) unpaid interest on $100 million of SSNs accrued between June 30, 2017 and the Effective Date;
(iii)    The Pre-Record Date Deferred Amounts of the Sponsoring Holders shall be increased by an estimated aggregate amount of $153 million equal to 12.5% of all Pre-Record Date Deferred Amounts held by Non-Ambac Holders, less the amount set forth in Section 3.3(a)(ii) above, on a pro-rata basis;
(iv)    AFG shall transfer GA SSNs having an aggregate principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest equal to approximately $129 million, or the amount set forth in Section 3.3(a)(ii) above, to Non-Ambac Holders on the same pro rata basis used in determining the relative reduction of Pre-Record Date Deferred Amounts of such Non-Ambac Holders effected in clause (i) above; and
(v)    The Sponsoring Holders shall transfer GA SSNs having an aggregate principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest as of the Effective Date equal to approximately $153 million, or the amount set forth in Section 3.3(a)(iii) above, to Non-Ambac Holders on the same pro rata basis used in determining the relative reduction of Pre-Record Date Deferred Amounts of such Non-Ambac Holders effected in clause (i) above.

35

(b)    In the event that one or more Sponsoring Holders fails to deposit its pro rata share of the GA SSNs pursuant to Section 3.3(a)(v) of this Plan in the applicable escrow account, AAC and AFG may adjust the Initial Exchange such that any shortfall may be contributed by one or more other holders of GA SSNs or make any other appropriate adjustments to preserve the economic terms of the Initial Exchange.  
(c)    To avoid the potential for duplicative Policy Claims, among other things, any Distribution of the Pre-Record Date Deferred Amount Consideration paid by AAC or the Segregated Account in respect of a Pre-Record Date Deferred Amount received by AFG or a Sponsoring Holder in the Initial Exchange shall be treated as if the Holder of the applicable Policy directed AAC or the Segregated Account to make such payment on the Holder’s behalf to AFG or the Sponsoring Holders, as the case may be.  Accordingly, for all purposes under this Plan, AAC, AFG, the Holders (including any Holder acting in its capacity as a Trustee), and the Sponsoring Holders, shall treat such payment of Pre-Record Date Deferred Amount Consideration as if (i) it had been made by AAC or the Segregated Account under the relevant Policy to the Holder of such Policy and (ii) the Holder of such Policy then paid such Pre-Record Date Deferred Amount Consideration to AFG or the Sponsoring Holder, as the case may be.

3.4    Funding of Cash Distributions.  On the Effective Date and following the consummation of the Initial Exchange and the Exchange Offers, the Cash portion of the Pre-Record Date Deferred Amount Consideration, and any Distributions of Cash made on account of Permitted Post-Record Date Policy Claims, will be fully funded through a draw by the Segregated Account against the Reinsurance Agreement.  

36

3.5    Transfer Provisions.  On the Effective Date, and after the consummation of the Initial Exchange and the Exchange Offers the Pre-Record Date Deferred Amount Consideration shall be transferred by AAC, at the request of the Segregated Account and in satisfaction of its obligations under the Reinsurance Agreement, to the Beneficial Holders of the Insured Obligations related to the Pre-Record Date Deferred Amounts, as of the Eligibility Distribution Record Date, and pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Amended Payment Guidelines.  Where such underlying securities related to such Pre-Record Date Deferred Amounts are held through DTC, AAC shall transfer the Pre-Record Date Deferred Amount Consideration to DTC for further transfer by DTC to its participants.  AAC, in its capacity as Claims Administrator, and/or its agents, and after reconciliation with the Holders shall provide to DTC the rates and other information required by DTC to effect such transfers, and DTC shall be authorized to take instructions solely from AAC with respect to such transfers.  Trustees shall permit, and provide any authorization or direction (but not indemnification) needed for AAC, any Paying Agent and/or DTC to make, process and/or accept any Distributions as contemplated by this Plan and the Amended Payment Guidelines.  For the avoidance of doubt, all Pre-Record Date Deferred Amount Consideration to be distributed pursuant to Section 2.2(a) of this Plan shall not be transferred to the applicable Trustees but shall be deemed to be transferred to such Trustees.  With respect to any transfers of GA SSNs to be effected under the Initial Exchange, AFG and the Sponsoring Holders will effect such transfers pursuant to an applicable escrow agreement.  

3.6    Transfers by Trustees.  Notwithstanding Section 3.5 of this Plan, to the extent received by a Trustee, any Pre-Record Date Deferred Amount Consideration shall promptly be transferred by such Trustee to the Beneficial Holders for whom it is acting as trustee.  

37

Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, any such Trustee may allocate, distribute or disburse the Pre-Record Date Deferred Amount Consideration issued in accordance with this Plan by allocating, distributing or disbursing such Pre-Record Date Deferred Amount Consideration (or any beneficial interest therein) to the Beneficial Holders of such underlying financial instrument(s) through the relevant custodians holding the positions on behalf of the Beneficial Holders, and such custodians shall be required to accept and distribute such Pre-Record Date Deferred Amount Consideration to the Beneficial Holders. 

3.7    Deemed Distribution Dates.  Any Distribution on the Effective Date, pursuant to this Plan and the Amended Payment Guidelines, will be deemed to have been received by Beneficial Holders on the next scheduled Bond Distribution Date applicable to the relevant Insured Obligation or underlying Transaction Documents that give rise to such Claims, notwithstanding the date when the Cash or Pre-Record Date Deferred Amount Consideration was actually received by such Beneficial Holders.

3.8    Post-Effective Date Policy Claim.  With respect to Post-Effective Date Policy Claims based on events, occurrences, and circumstances occurring or existing after the Effective Date, nothing in this Plan shall (x) cause to inure to any Holder of such claims any right or claim which would not have existed in the absence of the Proceeding or (y) in any manner, relieve or limit any obligation of any Holder of such Post-Effective Date Policy Claim to AAC, including with respect to payment of premiums, recoveries, reimbursements, settlements and/or other amounts that are due and owing to AAC under any Policy, Transaction Document, or other agreement; provided that, as set forth in Section 6.13 of this Plan, any default, event of default, or other event or circumstance occurring before or on the Effective Date or in connection with this Plan that may 

38

have given rise to or gives rise to a default or event of default, under any Policy or Transaction Document, will be deemed to be cured and not to have occurred.

3.9    No Fractional Amounts.  Any Distributions of Senior Secured Notes and/or transfers of GA SSNs pursuant to the Initial Exchange, transferred to DTC for further transfer by DTC to its participants, shall be (i) in denominations of no less than $1.00 and (ii) made in accordance with Section 3.5 of this Plan.  When any Distribution pursuant to this Plan or transfer pursuant to the Initial Exchange would otherwise result in the issuance of an amount of the Senior Secured Notes or the transfer of an amount of GA SSNs that is less than $1.00, the actual Distribution of such Senior Secured Notes or transfer of the GA SSNs, shall be rounded down to the next dollar amount with no further payment therefor.  Any Distributions of Cash with respect to Pre-Record Date Deferred Amount Consideration shall be (i) in denominations of no less than $.01 and (ii) made in accordance with Section 3.5 of this Plan.  When any Distribution of Cash pursuant to this Plan would otherwise result in a Cash amount of less than $.01, the actual Distribution of such Cash shall be rounded down to the next hundredth of a dollar with no further payment therefor.

From and after the Effective Date all Pending Claims, Administrative Claims, and Post-Record Date Policy Claims shall be governed by this Plan and the Amended Payment Guidelines, and except with respect to Administrative Claims, AAC shall be responsible for administering, evaluating, disputing, objecting to, compromising or otherwise resolving all such claims in accordance with this Plan and the Amended Payment Guidelines.  

39

4.2    Administrative Claims.
(a)    Submission of Administrative Claims.  After the Effective Date, each Holder of an Administrative Claim that remain eligible for submission under the terms of the Amended Payment Guidelines and has not been submitted to the Claims Administrator before the Effective Date shall submit such Administrative Claim to OCI in accordance with the Amended Payment Guidelines 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.  
(b)    Administration and Payment of Pending Administrative Claims.  The Rehabilitator or OCI in their sole and absolute discretion shall evaluate each Pending Administrative Claim to determine whether such Pending Administrative Claim is a Permitted Claim or whether an Objection should be raised against such Administrative Claim in accordance with the Amended Payment Guidelines.  AAC shall make a Distribution to each Holder of a Permitted Administrative Claim, in accordance with normal business practices and in complete satisfaction of such Permitted Administrative Claim, in Cash in an amount equal to the dollar amount of such Permitted Administrative Claim.

4.3    Post-Effective Date Policy Claims and Pending Policy Claims
(a)    Post-Effective Date Policy Claims.  Each Holder of a Post-Effective Date Policy Claim shall submit such Post-Effective Date Policy Claim to AAC in accordance with the applicable Transaction Documents; provided that if the applicable Transaction Documents contain provisions requiring Holders of a Post-Effective Date Policy Claim to use forms other than the 

40

Amended Proof of Policy Claim Form, this Plan and the Approval Order will control, and such Holder shall be required to submit such Post-Effective Date Policy Claim using the Amended Proof of Policy Claim Form and any related Claim Schedule.
(b)    Administration of Pending Policy Claims.  The Claims Administrator shall be responsible for administering, evaluating, disputing, objecting to, compromising or otherwise resolving all Pending Policy Claims in accordance with this Plan and the Amended Payment Guidelines.    

4.4    Disputed Claims Process.  As more fully described in the Amended Payment Guidelines, the Rehabilitator, the Management Services Provider, or the Claims Administrator, as applicable, may raise an Objection to any Pending Claim on any ground, including, but not limited to, the ground that the Management Services Provider or the Claims Administrator 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 Holder, if it wishes to dispute such Objection, shall send to the Rehabilitator, the Management Services Provider, or the Claims Administrator, a written response to the Objection, in accordance with the terms of the Amended Payment Guidelines.

4.5    Alternative Resolutions of Claims.  Nothing in this Plan or the Amended Payment Guidelines shall limit the ability of the Management Services Provider, the Rehabilitator, or the Claims Administrator to effectuate an Alternative Resolution to resolve any Claim, including through the arrangement, negotiation, effectuation and execution of an amendment, restructuring, 

41

refinancing, purchase, repurchase, termination, settlement, commutation, tender, Synthetic Commutation or tear-up, or any similar transaction that results in the extinguishment or reduction of the Segregated Account’s or AAC’s liability or agreement on alternative treatment, in respect of, as applicable, (i) all or part of the relevant Policy or Policies, (ii) all or part of the underlying Insured Obligation or (iii) the underlying instrument, contract or arrangement, if any, giving rise to such Claim; provided that such Alternative Resolution must not violate the law.

4.6    Discharge of ACP Obligations.  As of the Effective Date, all obligations of ACP under or with respect to contracts as to which a Policy Claim was or could have been made against the Segregated Account prior to the Effective Date shall be discharged and deemed satisfied in full.

4.7    No Duplicative Recovery.  No Holder or Beneficial Holder of any Permitted Policy Claim or Insured Obligation shall be entitled to receive consideration on account of such Permitted Policy Claim or Insured Obligation in excess of 100% of the amount of such Permitted Policy Claim or Insured Obligation other than Accretion Amounts.

4.8    Setoffs and Recoupment.  The Segregated Account or AAC (individually or in its capacity as successor to the Segregated Account) may set off or recoup in whole or in part against any Permitted Claim and the Distribution to be made pursuant to this Plan on account of such Permitted Claim, any and all claims, rights and Causes of Action that the Segregated Account or AAC may hold against the Holder of such Permitted Claim, to the extent such setoff or recoupment is permitted under applicable law; provided that, (a) neither the failure to effect a set-off or recoupment, nor (b) the permission of any Claim hereunder, will constitute a waiver or release by 

42

the Segregated Account or AAC with respect to claims, rights, or Causes of Action that AAC may possess against such Holder.

4.9    Recoveries on Policy Claims.  Notwithstanding the Proceeding, the Proceeding Circumstances, any provisions of the Interim Cash Payment Rules, the Payment Guidelines, the Amended Payment Guidelines, this Plan, the First Amended Plan, the Disclosure Statement and/or any amendments and/or or supplements thereto, the Segregated Account, or AAC as its successor, shall be entitled, in its sole and absolute discretion, to reduce its obligations to the Holders of Permitted Claims and Beneficial Holders of Deferred Amounts by any Recovery Amounts attributable to such Holders or Beneficial Holders or the relevant Insured Obligations, by reducing the amount of the Deferred Amount due to such Holders or Beneficial Holders to the extent such Deferred Amounts have not already been reduced by any applicable Recovery Amounts.  No Holder, Trustee or Beneficial Holder may apply a Recovery Amount in a manner inconsistent with the determination by the Claims Administrator pursuant to this Section 4.09, the Payment Guidelines, or the Amended Payment Guidelines.

4.10    Reimbursements on Policy Claims.  Notwithstanding the Proceeding, the Proceeding Circumstances, any provisions of the Interim Cash Payment Rules, the Payment Guidelines, the Amended Payment Guidelines, this Plan, the First Amended Plan, the Disclosure Statement and/or any amendments and/or supplements thereto, the Claims Administrator shall be entitled to collect any Reimbursement Amounts that AAC or the Segregated Account becomes, or is, entitled to receive under the Transaction Documents in relation to any: (i) Distributions or payments made prior to, on, or after the Effective Date (including any distributions of the Pre-Record Date Deferred Amount Consideration and the application of the Pre-Record Date Deferred 

43

Amount Discount if applied to Pre-Record Date Deferred Loss Amounts) hereunder, under the Payment Guidelines and the Amended Payment Guidelines, pursuant to, and in accordance with, the applicable Policy and any related Transaction Documents; (ii) payments made according to the Interim Cash Payment Rules; and (iii) other amounts paid by or on behalf of the Segregated Account in respect of an Insured Obligation, and in each case where a payment was made by AAC in respect of a Pre-Record Date Deferred Amount received by AFG or a Sponsoring Holder from a Holder in the Initial Exchange, it shall be treated as if AAC had paid such amount under the relevant Policy to the Holder directly and then the Holder paid such amount to AFG or the Sponsoring Holder, in each such case as if AAC had paid 100% of such Policy Claims under the relevant Policy in Cash, notwithstanding the Pre-Record Date Deferred Amount Discount, to the Holder directly.  

4.11    Assignment 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 an Amended Proof of Policy Claim Form, or otherwise, upon receipt of any Distribution, including the Pre-Record Date Deferred Amount Consideration and the Final Post-Record Date Payment from AAC or the Segregated Account, or the type of Distributions described in Section 3.3(c) of this Plan, 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 with respect to the full amount of its Policy Claim relating to the amount of such Distribution or transfer, including any Pre-Record Date Deferred Amount Discount in respect of any Pre-Record Date Deferred Amount, under the Transaction Document(s) to AAC.

4.12    Subsequent Adjustments.  If AAC determines that any Distribution received by the Holder of a Deferred Amount or Permitted Claim was incorrect, AAC may, to the extent necessary 

44

to account for such error:  (i) recoup from the Holder all or a portion of the amount of such Distributions or (ii) adjust the amount of any future Distributions to be paid to such Holder.  Any disputes regarding Subsequent Adjustments are subject to the dispute resolution procedures set forth in the Amended Payment Guidelines.

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 AAC in any such suit in order to defend against said claim and/or shall tender to AAC control of the defense and settlement of such claim or action, and shall cooperate with AAC in such defense and settlement.  AAC shall at all times have the right to employ counsel to represent both the Indemnified Party and AAC in any claim or action or proceeding, whether or not AAC has requested intervention or tender of control; provided that in the event AAC’s counsel or the Indemnified Party’s counsel determines that there is a legal conflict of interest between AAC and such Indemnified Party, and neither AAC nor such Indemnified Party is willing to waive such conflict, then such Indemnified Party shall be entitled to retain one separate counsel, acceptable to AAC.  Until AAC requests the control of the defense and settlement of such claim or action or unless AAC has otherwise employed counsel to represent both AAC 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 documented expenses shall be Third-Party Liabilities (provided that AAC shall in no event be liable for the legal fees and expenses of more than one firm).  Further, AAC shall have no liability for any settlement of any lawsuit or action for which AAC otherwise agrees herein to indemnify an Indemnified Party unless written notice of such proposed settlement shall have been furnished to AAC, and AAC in its sole and absolute discretion shall have consented in writing to such settlement.

53

All 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 this Plan or the Payment Guidelines; (ii) any Sub-Trustee/Agent, in respect of such Sub-Trustee Agent’s compliance with this Plan or the Payment Guidelines; and/or (iii) any Paying Agent, in respect of such Paying Agent’s compliance with this Plan or the Payment Guidelines.  The Court shall have exclusive jurisdiction over such actions, claims, or lawsuits, which must be raised by motion or other filing.

6.10    Preservation of Causes of Action.  Other than Causes of Action against an Entity that are waived, relinquished, exculpated, released, compromised, or settled in this Plan or by a Court order, any and all Causes of Action of the Ambac Parties are preserved.  On and after the Effective Date, AAC may pursue such Causes of Action in its sole and absolute discretion.  No Entity may rely on the absence of a specific reference in this Plan or the Disclosure Statement to any Cause of Action against them as any indication that AAC will not pursue any and all available Causes of Action against them.  No preclusion doctrine, including the doctrines of res judicata, collateral estoppel, issue preclusion, claim preclusion (judicial, equitable, or otherwise), or laches, shall apply to such Causes of Action upon, after, or as a consequence of the entry of Approval Order.  On and after the Effective Date, AAC shall retain and shall have, including through its authorized agents or representatives, the exclusive right, authority, and discretion to determine and to initiate, file, prosecute, enforce, abandon, settle, compromise, release, withdraw, or litigate to judgment any such Causes of Action and to decline to do any of the foregoing without the consent or approval of any third party or further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Court.  Notwithstanding 

54

anything contained herein to the contrary, AAC shall not retain any claims or Causes of Action released pursuant to section 6.6 of this Plan against the Released Parties.

6.11    Beneficiaries of Immunity and Indemnification.  The Released Parties are entitled to protection under this part of this Plan for any actions taken pursuant to, or in furtherance of, this Plan or the First Amended Plan.

6.12    Immunity and Indemnification.  The Released Parties shall have official immunity and shall be immune from suit and liability, both personally and in their official capacities, for any act or omission made in connection with, or arising out of, the Segregated Account, AAC or the General Account with respect to the Segregated Account, the Proceeding, this Plan (and the Approval Order related hereto), the First Amended Plan (and the 2014 Approval Order related thereto), the Interim Cash Payment Rules, the Payment Guidelines, the consummation of this Plan, or the administration of this Plan or the property to be distributed under this Plan, whether prior to or following the commencement of the Proceeding, with the sole exception of acts or omissions resulting from intentional fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct as determined by a Final Order and, in all respects, such Entities shall be entitled to rely upon the advice of counsel with respect to their duties and responsibilities, if any, under this Plan.  If any legal action is commenced against any Released Party, whether against that Entity personally or in an official capacity, alleging property damage, property loss, personal injury or other civil liability caused by or resulting from any act or omission made in connection with, or arising out of, the Segregated Account, AAC or the General Account with respect to the Segregated Account, the Proceeding, this Plan (and the Approval Order related hereto), the First Amended Plan (and the 2014 Approval Order related thereto), the Interim Cash Payment Rules, the Payment Guidelines, the consummation of this Plan, 

55

or the administration of this Plan or the property to be distributed under this Plan, that Entity shall be indemnified by AAC for all reasonable and documented expenses, attorney’s fees, judgments, settlements, decrees or amounts due and owing or paid in satisfaction of or incurred in the defense of such legal action, unless it is determined by a Final Order that the alleged act or omission was caused by intentional fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct. Any such indemnification shall be considered a Permitted Administrative Claim.  Nothing contained in or implied by this part of this Plan shall operate, or be construed or applied to deprive any Released Party any immunity, indemnity, benefits of law, rights or any defense otherwise available.

6.13    No Defaults.  As of the Effective Date, any default, event of default, or other event or circumstance relating to AAC, the Segregated Account, or any subsidiary thereof, then existing or alleged to exist (or that would exist with the passing of time or the giving of notice or both), under any agreement will be deemed to be cured and not to have occurred or existed, now, in the past or in the future, to the extent such default, event of default, or other event or circumstance is, or is alleged to be, due or relating to, or arising under or as a result of, the terms, existence, execution, delivery, performance in accordance with the terms thereof or the creation or consummation (in each case as applicable) of:  (i) this Plan or any variation thereof; (ii) the First Amended Plan; (iii) the Original Plan; (iv) the Segregated Account; (v) the Merger; (vi) the Exchange Offers; (vii) the Definitive Documents; (viii) the Proceeding and all orders of the Court entered therein; (ix) the grounds for the Proceeding; (x) the failure of AAC or the Segregated Account to pay any amount prior to the Effective Date under any Policy or Transaction Document; (xi) the financial condition of AAC prior to the Effective Date resulting from the Proceeding or the grounds for the Proceeding; 

56

or (xii) noncompliance by AAC or the Segregated Account with any provision of any Policy or Transaction Document prior to the Effective Date; or (xiii) the Proceeding Circumstances.

6.14    Actions Self-Effectuating.  All matters and actions provided in this Plan to occur as of the Effective Date shall occur automatically and without the need for further action by any Entity on the Effective Date, other than declaration by the Rehabilitator of the occurrence of the Effective Date as provided by Section 5.1 of this Plan.
