150.1.9A: to the extent to which the company has STC credit which equals or exceeds the
whole or any part of such preference dividend, then that portion of the preference
dividend in respect of which the company has STC credit shall be calculated in
accordance with Article 150.2.4 at a rate that will not exceed 75% (seventy five per
cent) of the prime rate; or
150.1.9B: to the extent to which the company does not have STC credit which equals such
