Ability to Enforce Collateral. In accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Indemnification Provisions and the Ancillary Agreements, from time to time, Secured Party may determine that it or any of the other Acquiror Indemnified Parties is owed an amount in respect of the Obligations, which amount may be equal in value to all or any part of the amount to the credit of the Indemnification Collateral Account. In such event, which may occur multiple times as provided in the agreements or provisions constituting the Obligations, Secured Party is entitled in accordance with the Indemnification Provisions to make a demand upon Pledgor for, or otherwise receive, payment for such Obligations (for its own benefit or the benefit of the other applicable Acquiror Indemnified Parties). Pursuant to Section 11.05(a) of the Amended Stock Purchase Agreement, Pledgor may in some instances satisfy such demand by delivering Eligible Collateral that is credited to the Indemnification Collateral Account with a Fair Value equal to the amount demanded; provided, however, that any such delivery of Eligible Collateral will be made in the following order of priority: (i) first, in cash and Permitted Investments then held in the Indemnification Collateral Account; provided, that any such Permitted Investments shall have been liquidated into cash in accordance with the Investment Guidelines (the “Liquidation Cash Proceeds”) prior to making any such delivery from the Indemnification Collateral Account; and (ii), only to the extent that the aggregate Fair Value of the cash and such Liquidation Cash Proceeds then held in the Indemnification Collateral Account is less than the amount required to be delivered by the Pledgor, second, by delivery of any cash and such Liquidation Cash Proceeds then held in the Indemnification Collateral Account, plus such number of Common Equity Units credited to the Indemnification Collateral Account the Fair Value of which equals the amount required to be so delivered less the Fair Value of any such cash and Liquidation Cash Proceeds then held in the Indemnification Control Account. Upon receipt from Pledgor of a request complying with the requirements of such Section 11.05(a) that some or all of the amount demanded be paid using Eligible Collateral constituting Indemnification Collateral, Secured Party agrees to instruct Securities Intermediary to withdraw the requested amount of cash from the Indemnification Collateral Account and/or debit the requested number of Common Equity Units and transfer such cash and/or Common Equity Units to such account as Secured Party may designate in payment of Obligations with a Fair Value represented by such transferred cash and/or Common Equity Units. Securities Intermediary may conclusively assume, in complying with such instructions from the Secured Party, that Secured Party has received the foregoing request from Pledgor and that the amount of Eligible Collateral to be withdrawn as specified in such instructions is in the proper amount and shall comply with such instructions as soon as practicable. The failure of Pledgor to satisfy such demand or make such payment in full (in either case, regardless of whether such demand is permitted by the Indemnification Provisions to be satisfied by Pledgor prior to default by delivering a request to Secured Party in the manner described above that Secured Party debit Eligible Collateral from the Indemnification Collateral Account), after compliance by Secured Party with the terms of the applicable provisions or agreement constituting the relevant Obligations and the terms of the Indemnification Provisions, including, without limitation, any terms relating to the resolution of disagreements regarding the amount or existence of any indemnification or other Obligation, shall constitute a default hereunder. It shall also constitute a default hereunder if, in the case of any payment required to be made under Article II, Section 6.12 or Sections 11.02(a)(vii),(viii) or (ix) of the Amended Stock Purchase Agreement or the non-indemnification provisions of any Ancillary Agreement, or pursuant to the Special Asset Protection Agreement, the Pledgor and AIG shall fail to make such payment in full in accordance with Sections 6.24 and 11.05(a)(i) and (ii) of the Amended Stock Purchase Agreement. Upon the occurrence of a default for any of the reasons set forth above, Secured Party may exercise in respect of the Indemnification Collateral, and Pledge Collateral Agent may, for the benefit of Secured Party (whether for Secured Party’s benefit or for the benefit of other Acquiror Indemnified Parties) and upon the instructions of Secured Party, exercise in respect of the Pledge Collateral (subject to the last sentence of Section 2.2), in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or in Section 11.05(a) of the Amended Stock Purchase Agreement or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the UCC, or under other applicable law, with respect to such portions of the Indemnification Collateral having in the aggregate a value equal to the amount of the Obligations then due to Secured Party but unpaid (the “Unpaid Obligation Amount”), such value to equal, to the extent Eligible Collateral is applied, the Fair Value of such Eligible Collateral and otherwise to equal such other amount as shall be determined in a manner consistent with applicable law. Any instructions from Secured Party shall specify the portions of the Indemnification Collateral with respect to which such remedies shall be exercised as specified in Section 11.05 of the Amended Stock Purchase Agreement and shall certify that such Indemnification Collateral has the value required by the preceding sentence. Secured Party may also, without notice except as required by law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any such default direct Securities Intermediary from time to time, to the extent permitted by law, to (i) transfer, deliver, and pay over to Secured Party, or as Secured Party directs, all or any part of the Indemnification Collateral and the proceeds thereof (including, without limitation, any distributions of cash and securities made in respect of the Indemnification Collateral (which, for the avoidance of doubt shall include any interest earned on the funds in the deposit account and any dividends, interest, distributions, amounts received in respect of redemption and all other proceeds of any Permitted Investments earned or accrued after such time), including Pledge Collateral to the extent it relates to Pledged Units being applied to the payment of any Unpaid Obligation Amount) in an amount up to the Unpaid Obligation Amount and Secured Party may apply any cash received from Securities Intermediary to the payment of the Obligations then due to Secured Party but unpaid, and (ii) sell the Indemnification Collateral in an amount up to the Unpaid Obligation Amount or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any exchange, broker’s board or at any of Secured Party’s or Securities Intermediary’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as Secured Party may deem commercially reasonable, and Secured Party may instruct Pledge Collateral Agent, as secured party for the benefit of Secured Party (for its own benefit and the benefit of the other Acquiror Indemnified Parties), to take such action with respect to the Pledge Collateral (subject to the last sentence of Section 2.2), including, without limitation, the transfer at the time specified by Secured Party of any such Pledge Collateral out of any Pledged Unit Subaccount to the appropriate other subaccount under the Pledge Agreement, as may be necessary or desirable to effectuate the transfer or sale of Indemnification Collateral described above; provided, that the aggregate value (calculated as provided in the Amended Stock Purchase Agreement and herein) of the Indemnification Collateral, any such transferred Pledge Collateral and the proceeds of the disposition thereof applied to the payment of the Obligations at any time shall not exceed the Unpaid Obligation Amount at such time, the amount of the Unpaid Obligations to be certified to Securities Intermediary and Pledge Collateral Agent; and provided, further, that Secured Party shall not exercise, or cause Pledge Collateral Agent to exercise, any rights with respect to the Pledge Collateral that would breach the covenant set forth in the last sentence of Section 2.2 or that would adversely affect the operation of the Pledge Agreement, any Stock Purchase Contract or the Stock Purchase Contract Agreement. Pledgor acknowledges that to the extent the Indemnification Collateral credited to the Indemnification Collateral Account or the Pledge Collateral credited to the Pledge Collateral Accounts under the Pledge Agreement is of a type sold in a recognized market, no notice by Secured Party or Pledge Collateral Agent to Pledgor shall be required prior to the sale of any Indemnification Collateral or Pledge Collateral hereunder. In the event such notice is given, neither Secured Party nor Pledge Collateral Agent shall be obligated to make any sale of Indemnification Collateral or Pledge Collateral regardless of such notice having been given. Secured Party or Pledge Collateral Agent, as the case may be, may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Upon any sale or transfer of any Common Equity Units contained in the Indemnification Collateral, whether upon Secured Party’s exercise of its rights as a secured party hereunder or upon the instructions of Pledgor in connection with a substitution of Indemnification Collateral, the Pledge Collateral associated with such Common Equity Units being sold shall, if such Common Equity Units shall continue to be outstanding after such sale or other transfer, be transferred from the Pledge Collateral Accounts to the other appropriate subaccounts with the Collateral Agent under the Pledge Agreement.

Ability to Enforce Collateral. In accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Indemnification Provisions and the Ancillary Agreements, from time to time, Secured Party may determine that it or any of the other Acquiror Indemnified Parties is owed an amount in respect of the Obligations, which amount may be equal in value to all or any part of the amount to the credit of the Indemnification Collateral Account. In such event, which may occur multiple times as provided in the agreements or provisions constituting the Obligations, Secured Party is entitled in accordance with the Indemnification Provisions to make a demand upon Pledgor for, or otherwise receive, payment for such Obligations (for its own benefit or the benefit of the other applicable Acquiror Indemnified Parties). Pursuant to Section 11.05(a) of the Amended Stock Purchase Agreement, Pledgor may in some instances satisfy such demand by delivering Eligible Collateral that is credited to the Indemnification Collateral Account with a Fair Value equal to the amount demanded; provided, however, that any such delivery of Eligible Collateral will be made in the following order of priority: (i) first, in cash and Permitted Investments then held in the Indemnification Collateral Account; provided, that any such Permitted Investments shall have been liquidated into cash in accordance with the Investment Guidelines (the “Liquidation Cash Proceeds”) prior to making any such delivery from the Indemnification Collateral Account; and (ii), only to the extent that the aggregate Fair Value of the cash and such Liquidation Cash Proceeds then held in the Indemnification Collateral Account is less than the amount required to be delivered by the Pledgor, second, by delivery of any cash and such Liquidation Cash Proceeds then held in the Indemnification Collateral Account, plus such number of Common Equity Units credited to the Indemnification Collateral Account the Fair Value of which equals the amount required to be so delivered less the Fair Value of any such cash and Liquidation Cash Proceeds then held in the Indemnification Control Account. Upon receipt from Pledgor of a request complying with the requirements of such Section 11.05(a) that some or all of the amount demanded be paid using Eligible Collateral constituting Indemnification Collateral, Secured Party agrees to instruct Securities Intermediary to debit the requested number of Common Equity Units or shares of Common Stock or Acquiror Interim Preferred Stock and/or withdraw the requested amount of cash from the Indemnification Collateral Account and/or debit the requested number of Common Equity Units and transfer such cash and/or Common Equity Units Units, Common Stock, Acquiror Interim Preferred Stock and/or cash to such account as Secured Party may designate in payment of Obligations with a Fair Value represented by such transferred cash and/or Common Equity Units, Common Stock, Acquiror Interim Preferred Stock and/or cash. Securities Intermediary may conclusively assume, in complying with such instructions from the Secured Party, that Secured Party has received the foregoing request from Pledgor and that the amount of Eligible Collateral to be withdrawn as specified in such instructions is in the proper amount and shall comply with such instructions as soon as practicable. The failure of Pledgor to satisfy such demand or make such payment in full (in either case, regardless of whether such demand is permitted by the Indemnification Provisions to be satisfied by Pledgor prior to default by delivering a request to Secured Party in the manner described above that Secured Party debit Eligible Collateral from the Indemnification Collateral Account), after compliance by Secured Party with the terms of the applicable provisions or agreement constituting the relevant Obligations and the terms of the Indemnification Provisions, including, without limitation, any terms relating to the resolution of disagreements regarding the amount or existence of any indemnification or other Obligation, shall constitute a default hereunder. It shall also constitute a default hereunder if, in the case of any payment required to be made under Article II, Section 6.12 or 6.12, Sections 11.02(a)(vii),(viii) or (ix) of the Amended Stock Purchase Agreement or the non-indemnification provisions of any Ancillary Agreement, or pursuant to the Special Asset Protection Agreement, the Pledgor and AIG Pledgor Parent shall fail to make such payment in full in accordance with Sections 6.24 and 11.05(a)(i) and (ii) of the Amended Stock Purchase Agreement). Upon the occurrence of a default for any of the reasons set forth above, Secured Party may exercise in respect of the Indemnification Collateral, and Pledge Collateral Agent may, for the benefit of Secured Party (whether for Secured Party’s benefit or for the benefit of other Acquiror Indemnified Parties) and upon the instructions of Secured Party, exercise in respect of the Pledge Collateral (subject to the last sentence of Section 2.2), in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or in Section 11.05(a) of the Amended Stock Purchase Agreement or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the UCC, or under other applicable law, with respect to such portions of the Indemnification Collateral having in the aggregate a value equal to the amount of the Obligations then due to Secured Party but unpaid (the “Unpaid Obligation Amount”), such value to equal, to the extent Eligible Collateral is applied, the Fair Value of such Eligible Collateral and otherwise to equal such other amount as shall be determined in a manner consistent with applicable law. Any Such instructions from Secured Party shall specify the portions of the Indemnification Collateral with respect to which such remedies shall be exercised as specified in Section 11.05 of the Amended Stock Purchase Agreement and shall certify that such Indemnification Collateral has the value required by the preceding sentence. Secured Party may also, without notice except as required by law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any such default direct Securities Intermediary from time to time, to the extent permitted by law, to (i) transfer, deliver, and pay over to Secured Party, or as Secured Party directs, all or any part of the Indemnification Collateral and the proceeds thereof (including, without limitation, any distributions of cash and securities made in respect of the Indemnification Collateral (which, for the avoidance of doubt shall include any interest earned on the funds in the deposit account and any dividends, interest, distributions, amounts received in respect of redemption and all other proceeds of any Permitted Investments earned or accrued after such time)Collateral, including Pledge Collateral to the extent it relates to Pledged Units being applied to the payment of any Unpaid Obligation Amount) in an amount up to the Unpaid Obligation Amount and Secured Party may apply any cash received from Securities Intermediary to the payment of the Obligations then due to Secured Party but unpaid, and (ii) sell the Indemnification Collateral in an amount up to the Unpaid Obligation Amount or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any exchange, broker’s board or at any of Secured Party’s or Securities Intermediary’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as Secured Party may deem commercially reasonable, and Secured Party may instruct Pledge Collateral Agent, as secured party for the benefit of Secured Party (for its own benefit and the benefit of the other Acquiror Indemnified Parties), to take such action with respect to the Pledge Collateral (subject to the last sentence of Section 2.2), including, without limitation, the transfer at the time specified by Secured Party of any such Pledge Collateral out of any Pledged Unit Subaccount to the appropriate other subaccount under the Pledge Agreement, as may be necessary or desirable to effectuate the transfer or sale of Indemnification Collateral described above; provided, provided that the aggregate value (calculated as provided in the Amended Stock Purchase Agreement and herein) of the Indemnification Collateral, any such transferred Pledge Collateral and the proceeds of the disposition thereof applied to the payment of the Obligations at any time shall not exceed the Unpaid Obligation Amount at such time, the amount of the Unpaid Obligations to be certified to Securities Intermediary and Pledge Collateral Agent; and provided, further, that Secured Party shall not exercise, or cause Pledge Collateral Agent to exercise, any rights with respect to the Pledge Collateral that would breach the covenant set forth in the last sentence of Section 2.2 or that would adversely affect the operation of the Pledge Agreement, any Stock Purchase Contract or the Stock Purchase Contract Agreement. Pledgor acknowledges that to the extent the Indemnification Collateral credited to the Indemnification Collateral Account or the Pledge Collateral credited to the Pledge Collateral Accounts under the Pledge Agreement is of a type sold in a recognized market, no notice by Secured Party or Pledge Collateral Agent to Pledgor shall be required prior to the sale of any Indemnification Collateral or Pledge Collateral hereunder. In the event such notice is given, neither Secured Party nor Pledge Collateral Agent shall be obligated to make any sale of Indemnification Collateral or Pledge Collateral regardless of such notice having been given. Secured Party or Pledge Collateral Agent, as the case may be, may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Upon any sale or transfer of any Common Equity Units contained in the Indemnification Collateral, whether upon Secured Party’s exercise of its rights as a secured party hereunder or upon the instructions of Pledgor in connection with a substitution of Indemnification Collateral, the Pledge Collateral associated with such Common Equity Units being sold shall, if such Common Equity Units shall continue to be outstanding after such sale or other transfer, be transferred from the Pledge Collateral Accounts to the other appropriate subaccounts with the Collateral Agent under the Pledge Agreement.
