2

included in a Loan File or Escrowed Asset Non-Legal Loan File at the Closing Date or the
applicable Escrowed Asset Release Date, as the case may be, relating to such Loan or which
AIG or any Seller has determined in good faith to be privileged or confidential to such
Seller and/or any of its Affiliates; provided, further, that,
notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchased Assets shall include any such correspondence or
other communication or document, file, correspondence or other book or record to the extent
delivered to the Purchaser or the Custodian pursuant to Sections 2.2(a)(i),
2.2(b)(i) or 6.1(c) hereof; and

applicable Escrowed Asset Release Date, as the case may be, relating to such Loan or which AIG or
any Seller has determined in good faith to be privileged or confidential to such Seller and/or any
of its Affiliates;
(e) any right to indemnification of either Seller, pursuant to any Loan Document with respect
to any period or any event occurring prior to, the Closing Date, solely with respect to any Assumed
Liability, including any right of recourse or recovery against any Person with respect to any such
right to indemnification;
(f) all judgments entered on or prior to the applicable Escrowed Asset Release Date in respect
of any Escrowed Asset (i) in default on the Closing Date as set forth on Schedule 3.6(g) or

thereafter pay, perform, fulfill, discharge and otherwise satisfy in accordance with their
respective terms, and AIG shall cause such Seller to sell, convey, assign, transfer and deliver to
Purchaser, all of the Assumed Liabilities of such Seller, and such Seller shall have no obligation
to perform any Assumed Liability and shall forever be absolutely and unconditionally released and
discharged from any obligation to so perform any Assumed Liability. For all purposes of and under
this Agreement, the term “Assumed Liabilities” of a Seller means:
(a) all obligations of such Seller as set forth on the face of each Loan Document or Loan
Agreement included in the Purchased Assets to which such Seller is a party; provided,
however, that such obligations shall not include any obligations or liabilities of a Seller
arising as a result of such Seller’s breach or non-performance of such Loan Document (collectively,
the
4
“Breach Obligations”) on or before the Closing Date (which Breach Obligations shall be
included in the Excluded Liabilities);
(b) all liabilities for Taxes for which Purchaser is liable pursuant to Section 6.4;
(c) such Seller’s obligations or commitments as of the Closing Date to renew and/or fund any
Loan as set forth on Schedule 1.2(c) hereto; and

Seller with respect to collection efforts in respect of Loan numbers 90-100729 and 91-100949 not in
excess of twenty five percent (25%) of the outstanding principal balance of each such Loan as of
the date hereof (such amount, the “Contingency Fee Obligation Limit”).
For the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser shall not assume any liabilities or obligations of any
kind whatsoever, whether known or unknown, of Sellers or its Affiliates other than the Assumed
Liabilities (all such liabilities or obligations other than the Assumed Liabilities, collectively,
the “Excluded Liabilities”). The Excluded Liabilities shall include, but not be limited
to, any liabilities or obligations of Sellers or their Affiliates (i) relating to or arising from
the Excluded Assets, (ii) any Breach Obligations, (iii) any of such Seller’s contingency fee
obligations to third-party counsel retained by such Seller with respect to collection efforts
pursuant to Section 1.2(d) in excess of the Contingency Fee Obligation Limit, (iv) except
as otherwise contemplated by Sections 1.2(a), (c) and (d), relating to or
arising from any joint venture, subsidiary investment, agreement, contract, obligation, undertaking
or arrangement of any kind, whether written or oral, to which a Seller or its Affiliate is a party
or by which a Seller or its Affiliate may be bound or (v) except as otherwise contemplated by
Sections 1.2(a), (c) and (d), otherwise relating to or arising from a

(a) Excluded Assets. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, AIG is not
causing any Seller to convey, assign, transfer or deliver, and no Seller is selling, conveying,
assigning, transferring or delivering to Purchaser, and Purchaser is not purchasing or accepting
from such Seller, any of such Seller’s right, title or interest in, to or under any Excluded Asset.
For all purposes of and under this Agreement, the term “Excluded Assets” means
collectively, any asset not specifically set forth in Section 1.1 hereof, including,

pertaining to any employees, including, without limitation, the Specified A.I. Credit Employees,

right to make copies of any portions of such retained documents that relate to the Purchased Assets

all of Sellers’ rights, causes of action, claims, credits, demands or rights of set off against
third parties relating to or otherwise in respect of any Purchased Asset or Assumed Liability to
the extent arising out of events occurring prior to the Closing Date (other than any of such
rights, causes of action, claims, credits, demands or rights of set-off against third parties in
respect of which either Seller has exercised any remedies and for which a deficiency balance exists
with respect to a Purchased Asset), (J) all Reassumed Assets as of the Reassumption Date and (K)
all rights that accrue to AIG or Sellers under this Agreement.
(b) Escrowed Assets.
(i) Escrow Deliveries.
(A) Closing Deliveries. At the Closing, (A) AIG is causing Sellers to
deliver to the Custodian for the benefit of Purchaser, to be held in escrow by the
Custodian, each of the Escrowed Assets in accordance with Section 2.2(b)
hereof, and (B) Purchaser is remitting to the Escrow Agent for the benefit of
Sellers, for deposit into the Purchase Price Escrow Account in accordance with
Section 2.3(b) hereof, the Estimated Escrowed Assets Purchase Price, subject
to adjustment as provided in Section 1.5 hereof, in each case, to be held in
escrow by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, and
subject, in each case, to liens granted pursuant to the Escrow Agreement (x) by AIG
to the Purchaser with respect to the Purchase Price Escrow Account and (y) by
Purchaser to AIG with respect to the Escrowed Assets Escrow Account, the Escrowed
Assets and the Escrowed Asset Non-Legal Loan Files, in each case to secure their
respective obligations under this Section 1.3(b) and under the Escrow
Agreement and the Loan Servicing Agreement.
(B) Funding Loans Included in the Escrowed Assets; Deliveries During the
Escrowed Asset Transfer Period. Other than in respect of renewal fundings of
Loans set forth on Schedule 1.2(c) hereto scheduled to renew and require an
additional funding within forty five (45) days following the Closing Date (which are
the subject of Section 6.9 hereof and shall be funded by the Purchaser in
accordance with Section 6.9 hereof), if within one hundred twenty (120) days
of the Closing Date, Purchaser requests that AIG or either Seller, as an
accommodation to Purchaser, make an AIG Funding to the applicable Borrower of any
Loan included in the Escrowed Assets that requires an additional funding in respect
of the renewal of such Loan during such one hundred twenty (120) day period, then
(1) AIG shall or shall cause the applicable Seller or either of their respective
Affiliates make such AIG Funding to the applicable Borrower on the date and to the
account specified in a notice to AIG from Purchaser, such notice to be delivered to
AIG by Purchaser not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the requested funding
date and (2) Purchaser shall deposit an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%)
of such AIG Funding into the Purchase Price Escrow
6
Account (any such deposit, an “Additional Purchaser Deposit”) on or
prior to the date of such AIG Funding, to be held by the Escrow Agent pursuant to
the terms of the Escrow Agreement and subject to liens granted pursuant to the
Escrow Agreement by AIG and Sellers to the Purchaser to secure AIG’s obligations
under this Section 1.3(b) and under the Escrow Agreement and the Loan
Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that prior to any such
request that AIG or either Seller make an AIG Funding during such period, Purchaser
shall use its reasonable efforts to make the required funding to the applicable
Borrower.
(ii) Required Consents. With respect to each such Escrowed Asset, AIG shall
cause each Seller and each of their respective Affiliates to use, and Purchaser shall and
shall cause its respective Affiliates to use, their respective reasonable efforts to
cooperate with each other for a period ending upon the earlier to occur of (A) the date that
is fifteen (15) months following the Closing Date or (B) the date upon which all Escrowed
Assets have been released in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement (such period,
the “Escrowed Asset Transfer Period”) in endeavoring to obtain each of the third
party consents and approvals set forth on Schedule 1.3(b)(ii) hereto (the
“Required Consents”); provided, however, that except as set forth in Section
6.4(a), such efforts shall not require Sellers, AIG or any of their respective
Affiliates to provide any financial accommodation or to remain secondarily, contingently or
otherwise liable for any Assumed Liability to obtain any such Required Consent.
(iii) Special Rules for Letters of Credit. With respect to any Letter of
Credit included in the Loan Collateral for an Escrowed Asset, a Required Consent shall be
deemed to have been obtained upon (A) receipt of any consent required to change the
beneficiary of a Letter of Credit included in the Loan Collateral to the Purchaser and an
effective assignment of such Letter of Credit to the Purchaser, (B) any renewal or new loan
made by the Purchaser in connection with which the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit
included in the Loan Collateral is changed to the Purchaser, (C) in connection with the
servicing, renewal or collection by Purchaser of a Loan contained in the Escrowed Assets, a
complete draw of the principal amount of such Letter of Credit upon instruction from
Purchaser to the applicable Seller, upon which Seller shall hold such amount in trust and
immediately deposit it into the Escrowed Assets Escrow Account, (D) the expiration of such
Letter of Credit as permitted to occur by Purchaser in connection with the servicing,
renewal or collection by Purchaser of a Loan contained in the Escrowed Assets, or (E) the
replacement of such Letter of Credit by another form of eligible Loan Collateral reasonably
satisfactory to Purchaser, which does not require consent for assignment to Purchaser or for
which any Required Consent has been obtained.
(iv) Novation of Assumed Liabilities. Purchaser shall, and AIG shall cause
Sellers to, use their respective reasonable efforts to obtain, or cause to be obtained, any
consent, substitution, approval or amendment required to novate all Assumed Liabilities to
Purchaser or to obtain in writing the unconditional release of Sellers and their respective
Affiliates so that, in any such case, Purchaser shall be solely responsible for such Assumed
Liabilities.
7
(v) Servicing of Escrowed Assets. In the event and to the extent that any
Required Consent to the assignment or change of beneficiary of an Escrowed Asset cannot be
or has not been obtained, such Escrowed Asset shall be held, as of and from the Closing Date
until the last day of the Escrowed Asset Transfer Period (such date, the “Escrowed Asset
Transfer Cut-Off Date”) by the Custodian. Purchaser shall perform all covenants and
obligations with respect to each Escrowed Asset at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense until
such Escrowed Asset is released from escrow pursuant to the terms of the Loan Servicing
Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, including, without limitation, to take or cause to be
taken such actions to effect collection of money or other consideration that becomes due and
payable in respect of such Escrowed Assets. Purchaser shall, if applicable, promptly pay
over to the Escrow Agent to be held in the Escrowed Assets Escrow Account in accordance with
the terms of the Escrow Agreement and the Loan Servicing Agreement, all money or other
consideration received by Purchaser in respect of such Escrowed Assets. Purchaser hereby
agrees to indemnify and hold AIG, Sellers and their respective agents, successors and
assigns harmless from and against any and all liabilities, costs, expenses and Losses based
upon, arising out of or relating to such Escrowed Assets.
(vi) Receipt of Required Consents.
(A) In the event and to the extent that all Required Consents in respect of any
Escrowed Asset are received or deemed received pursuant to Sections
1.3(b)(ii) and (iii) on or prior to the Escrowed Asset Transfer Cut Off
Date, then the party entitled to give notice of such receipt or deemed receipt under
the Loan Servicing Agreement shall deliver to the other party a certificate in the
form of Exhibit 1.3(b)(vi)(A) hereto, certifying that each Required Consent
in respect of such Escrowed Asset has been obtained or is deemed to have been
obtained in accordance with this Agreement (including reasonable supporting
documentation in respect thereof) (each, a “Required Consents
Certification”), as promptly as practicable, and in any event, not more than
five (5) Business Days following the obtaining or the deemed obtaining of the last
such Required Consent in respect of such Escrowed Asset. If the recipient party
disagrees in good faith with the Required Consents Certification, then the recipient
party shall notify the delivering party in writing (any such notice, a “Required
Consents Notice of Disagreement”) of such disagreement within five (5) Business
Days following receipt of such Required Consents Certification setting forth in
reasonable detail the basis for the disagreement described therein. If no such
Required Consents Notice of Disagreement is received by the delivering party within
such five (5) Business Day period, then such Required Consents Certification shall
be deemed to have been accepted by the recipient party and shall become final and
binding on all parties hereto.
(B) In the event the recipient party provides any such Required Consents Notice
of Disagreement to the delivering party within such five (5) Business Day period,
AIG and the Purchaser shall cooperate in good faith for a period of ten (10)
Business Days to appoint an arbitrator with substantive life premium finance
industry experience mutually agreeable to AIG and the
8
Purchaser (the “Arbitrator”) for review and resolution of any and all
disputed matters contained in such Required Consents Notice of Disagreement. If AIG
and the Purchaser are unable to mutually agree on selecting such an Arbitrator
within such ten (10) Business Day period, then AIG and the Purchaser shall promptly
jointly request the American Arbitration Association to, within five (5) Business
Days of such request, appoint an Arbitrator. AIG and the Purchaser shall instruct
the Arbitrator that it should undertake such review and resolution, and deliver
written notice thereof to AIG and the Purchaser, within ten (10) Business Days after
the matter has been referred to the Arbitrator. The opinion of the Arbitrator as to
whether all Required Consents in respect of such Escrowed Asset have been obtained
or are deemed to have been obtained in accordance with the terms of this Agreement
as reflected in the corresponding Required Consents Certification shall be final and
binding on the parties hereto and all reasonable costs and expenses of such
arbitration (including the fees of the Arbitrator) shall be paid in full by the
unsuccessful party.
(C) As promptly as practicable, and in any event not more than two (2) Business
Days following such Required Consents Certification becoming final and binding on
the parties hereto in accordance with the foregoing, the Purchaser shall deliver a
written notice to AIG setting forth the Escrowed Assets to be released in accordance
with clause (1) below and Purchaser’s calculation of the amounts due to either party
in accordance with clauses (2) and (3) below (including reasonable supporting
documentation in respect thereof) (each, a “Released Escrowed Assets
Certification”), and if AIG disagrees in good faith with such Released Escrowed
Assets Certification, then AIG shall notify Purchaser in writing (each, a
“Released Escrowed Assets Certification Notice of Disagreement”) of such
disagreement within five (5) Business Days following Purchaser’s delivery of any
Released Escrowed Assets Certification. The Released Escrowed Assets Certification
Notice of Disagreement shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for the
disagreement described therein. If no Released Escrowed Assets Notice of
Disagreement is received by Purchaser within such five (5) Business Day period, then
such Released Escrowed Assets Certification shall be deemed to have been accepted by
AIG and shall become final and binding on the parties hereto. During the five (5)
Business Day period immediately following the delivery of a Released Escrowed Assets
Certification Notice of Disagreement, AIG, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the
other hand, shall attempt in good faith to resolve any differences that they may
have with respect to any matter specified in the Released Escrowed Assets
Certification Notice of Disagreement. If AIG, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on
the other hand, are able to resolve all of such differences within such five (5)
Business Day period following such delivery of a Released Escrowed Assets
Certification Notice of Disagreement, then the Released Escrowed Assets
Certification, as adjusted to reflect such resolution, shall become final and
binding on the parties hereto. If AIG, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other
hand are unable to resolve all of such differences within such five (5) Business Day
period, then any item that remains in dispute shall be resolved in accordance with
the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Section 1.3(b)(vii)(E). As
promptly as
9
practicable, and in any event not more than two (2) Business Days following
such Released Escrowed Assets Certification becoming final and binding on the
parties hereto in accordance with this Section 1.3(b)(vi)(C) or Section
1.3(b)(vii)(E), Purchaser and AIG shall jointly direct the Escrow Agent and the
Custodian, as applicable in writing in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
1.3(b)(vi)(C) to, within five (5) Business Days following the Escrow Agent’s and
the Custodian’s receipt thereof (each such date, an “Escrowed Asset Release
Date”), (1) deliver each such Escrowed Asset to the Purchaser in accordance with
the terms of the Escrow Agreement, (2) to the extent applicable in respect of such
Escrowed Asset, remit to Purchaser by wire transfer of immediately available funds,
the aggregate amount collected in respect of such Escrowed Asset and deposited by
the Escrow Agent in the Escrowed Assets Escrow Account in accordance with the terms
of the Escrow Agreement prior to the Escrowed Asset Release Date (whether any
portion of such aggregate amount constitutes principal of, interest on, or any other
fee or other amount in respect of, such Escrowed Asset), including for purposes of
this clause (2), all proceeds realized in respect of any Loan Collateral relating to
such Escrowed Asset and any applicable Post-Closing Prepaid Interest Amount (to the
extent actually received by the Escrow Agent prior to the related Escrowed Asset
Release Date), together with any Escrow Earnings accrued on such amounts, and (3)
remit from the Purchase Price Escrow Account by wire transfer of immediately
available funds to an account specified in writing by AIG, (x) the Purchase Price
payable in respect of such Escrowed Assets as finally determined in accordance with
Sections 1.4 and 1.5 hereof and (y) any applicable Additional
Purchaser Deposit in respect thereof, together with any Escrow Earnings accrued on
such portion of the Purchase Price and any applicable Additional Purchaser Deposit
through the applicable Escrowed Asset Release Date.
(vii) No Receipt of Required Consents.
(A) In the event and to the extent that any Required Consent in respect of any
Escrowed Asset has not been received prior to the Escrowed Asset Transfer Cut Off
Date, then (1) AIG’s and the applicable Seller’s and Purchaser’s obligations
pursuant to Section 1.3(b)(ii) through (v) hereof shall terminate as
of the Escrowed Asset Transfer Cut Off Date, (2) such Seller shall reassume and
become the sole owner of any such Escrowed Asset (each, a “Reassumed Asset”)
as of the day immediately following the Escrowed Asset Transfer Cut Off Date or such
later date as may be necessary to resolve any outstanding dispute in respect of any
Required Consents Certification delivered by AIG to the Purchaser prior to the
Escrowed Assets Transfer Cut-Off Date in accordance with Section 1.3(b)(vi)
hereof (such date, the “Reassumption Date”), (3) Purchaser’s, the Escrow
Agent’s and the Custodian’s interest in such Reassumed Asset shall immediately
terminate and be released in full upon the Reassumption Date, without any further
action or the execution of any further instrument by any Person, (4) any Escrowed
Asset Non-Legal Loan File previously delivered to the Purchaser in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement shall be held in trust by the Purchaser for the benefit
of Sellers until returned to the applicable Seller in accordance with the terms of
this
10
Agreement and (5) Purchaser shall execute and deliver to AIG or the applicable
Seller for delivery to the applicable Insurer, a notice from the Purchaser to each
applicable Insurer notifying such Insurer of the assignment to AIG or the applicable
Seller of Purchaser’s security interest in the Policies or Annuities issued by such
Insurer, which security interest is to be assigned hereunder as of the Reassumption
Date in respect of any Reassumed Asset, in substantially the form(s) attached as
Exhibit 1.3(b)(vii)(A) hereto, dated as of the Reassumption Date in respect
of Policies and Annuities securing Loans that constitute Reassumed Assets.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event and to the extent that at any time prior
to the Reassumption Date either AIG, Purchaser or Sellers determine that an Obligor
under any Escrowed Asset is a person or entity with whom Persons subject to United
States jurisdiction are restricted from doing business under regulations of the
Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) of the U.S. Department of Treasury
(including those named on OFAC’s List of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked
Persons, as amended from time to time) or pursuant to any Law, including, without
limitation, the September 24, 2001, Executive Order Blocking Property and
Prohibiting Transactions with Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit or Support
Terrorism and such restriction with respect to such Obligor continues to be in
effect on the Reassumption Date, then (1) the related Escrowed Asset shall not
become a Reassumed Asset and the applicable Seller shall not reassume such Escrowed
Asset, (2) the Purchaser shall conclusively be deemed, without any further action on
its part, to have irrevocably and unconditionally waived Seller’s obligations
pursuant to this Section 1.3(b)(vii) to reassume such Escrowed Asset,
irrespective of whether the related Required Consents have been obtained with
respect to such Escrowed Asset and (3) AIG and the Purchaser shall promptly jointly
direct the Escrow Agent and the Custodian, as applicable in writing in accordance
with Section 1.3(b)(vi)(C) hereof and the terms of the Escrow Agreement to
release such Escrowed Asset and other applicable amounts from escrow to the
Purchaser and to remit the applicable portion of the Purchase Price and other
applicable amounts to the applicable Seller.
(B) As promptly as practicable, but in any event within five (5) Business Days
following the Reassumption Date, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to AIG and
Sellers a written schedule (the “Reassumption Date Loan Value Schedule”)
setting forth Purchaser’s calculation of the Reassumption Date Loan Value in respect
of each Loan included in the Reassumed Assets as of the Reassumption Date. AIG
shall and shall cause Sellers to cooperate with Purchaser to permit Purchaser to
prepare the Reassumption Date Loan Value Schedule. Such cooperation shall include
providing Purchaser and its agents and representatives with reasonable access to all
books and records in Sellers’ (or any of their respective Affiliates’) possession
relating to the Reassumed Assets, and with reasonable access to the personnel of
Sellers and their respective Affiliates.
(C) As promptly as practicable, and in any event not more than two (2) Business
Days following the date upon which the Reassumption Date Loan Value Schedule becomes
final and binding on the parties hereto in accordance with
11
Section 1.3(b)(vii)(D) or (E), (I) Purchaser shall deliver to
the applicable Seller each Escrowed Asset Non-Legal Loan File (together with each
Loan, Loan Document, Loan Agreement, Loan Collateral, Loan Security Document and any
other agreement, instrument, correspondence and any other document included in such
Escrowed Asset Non-Legal Loan File on or after the Closing Date) and (II) Purchaser
and AIG shall jointly direct the Escrow Agent and the Custodian, as applicable in
writing in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1.3(b)(vii)(C) to (whether by
physical delivery of such Reassumed Assets and of any other documents or assets to
the address specified by the applicable party or, in respect of any required
payment, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified by
the applicable party, as the case may be), within five (5) Business Days of receipt
of such notice by the Escrow Agent and the Custodian, as applicable (such date, the
“Reassumption Transfer Date”), take the following actions:
(1) In respect of any such Reassumed Asset that is a Loan (each, a
“Reassumed Loan”), the Escrow Agent shall remit to Purchaser an
amount equal to the sum of (x) (I) the aggregate Reassumed Loan Price in
respect of each Reassumed Loan plus (II) an amount equal to any applicable
Purchaser Funding outstanding as of the Reassumption Date and Additional
Purchaser Deposit less (III) any applicable Valuation Adjustment Amount from
the Purchase Price Escrow Account less (IV) any principal remitted by the
Borrower in respect of any AIG Funding (it being understood that any
payments of principal by a Borrower remitted with respect to any Loan that
is an Escrowed Asset during the Escrowed Asset Transfer Period shall first
be applied against the applicable Loan’s existing principal balance
outstanding as of the Closing Date and next to any AIG Funding or Purchaser
Funding) (such amount, the “Reassumption Price”) and (y) the
aggregate amount collected in respect of all Reassumed Loans and deposited
by the Escrow Agent in the Escrowed Assets Escrow Account in accordance with
the terms of the Escrow Agreement on or prior to the Escrowed Assets
Transfer Cut-Off Date (whether any portion of such aggregate amount
constitutes principal of, interest on, or any other fee or other amount in
respect of, such Reassumed Loan), including for purposes of this clause (y),
all proceeds realized in respect of any Loan Collateral relating to such
Reassumed Loan and any applicable Post-Closing Prepaid Interest Amount (to
the extent actually received by the Escrow Agent prior to the related
Escrowed Asset Transfer Cut-Off Date, together with any Escrow Earnings
accrued on such amounts. In the event and to the extent that the aggregate
Reassumption Price is greater than the cash balance of funds held in the
Purchase Price Escrow Account as of the Reassumption Transfer Date, then AIG
shall or shall cause Sellers to remit an amount equal to such excess to the
Purchaser within five (5) Business Days of the Reassumption Transfer Date by
wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified by the
Purchaser in writing to AIG. In the event and to the extent that the
aggregate Reassumption Price calculated in
12
accordance with the foregoing is a negative amount, then
AIG shall direct the Escrow Agent to or the Purchaser shall, as the
case may be, remit the absolute value of such amount by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to the account specified by AIG in writing to
the Escrow Agent or the Purchaser, as the case may be.
(2) The Escrow Agent and the Custodian shall deliver to the applicable
Seller any and all such Reassumed Assets and any other documents or assets
delivered to the Escrow Agent or the Custodian, as the case may be, pursuant
to Section 2.2(b) hereof and remit to the applicable Seller an
amount equal to the amount by which the cash balance of funds held in the
Purchase Price Escrow Account (which shall include any Escrow Earnings
accrued on the Purchase Price, as finally determined in accordance with
Sections 1.4 and 1.5 hereof and deposited into the Purchase
Price Escrow Account in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement)
as of the Reassumption Transfer Date exceeds the aggregate Reassumption
Price remitted to the Purchaser pursuant to Section
1.3(b)(vii)(C)(1) hereof. In the event and to the extent that the
aggregate Reassumption Price is a negative amount or there are insufficient
funds held in the Purchase Price Escrow Account as of the Reassumption
Transfer Date to remit to the applicable Seller an amount equal to the
Escrow Earnings accrued on the Purchase Price in accordance with the
immediately preceding sentence, then the Purchaser shall remit an amount
equal to the sum of (x) the absolute value of the amount by which the
Reassumption Price is less than zero dollars ($0) and (y) any amount by
which funds held in the Purchase Price Escrow Account are insufficient to
remit to the applicable Seller the Escrow Earnings accrued on the Purchase
Price by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account
specified by AIG in writing to the Purchaser within five (5) Business Days
of the Reassumption Transfer Date.
Attached as Exhibit G hereto for illustrative purposes only are
examples of certain Reassumption Price calculations.
(D) If AIG disagrees in good faith with the Reassumption Date Loan Value
Schedule, then AIG shall notify Purchaser in writing (the “Reassumption Price
Notice of Disagreement”) of such disagreement within fifteen (15) days following
Purchaser’s delivery of the Reassumption Date Loan Value Schedule. The Reassumption
Price Notice of Disagreement shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for the
disagreement described therein. If no Reassumption Price Notice of Disagreement is
received by Purchaser within such fifteen (15) day period, then the Reassumption
Date Loan Value Schedule shall be deemed to have been accepted by AIG and shall
become final and binding on the parties hereto. During the fifteen (15) day period
immediately following the delivery of the Reassumption Price Notice of Disagreement,
AIG, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, shall attempt in good faith
to resolve any differences that they may have with respect to any matter specified
in the Reassumption Price
13
Notice of Disagreement. If AIG, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other
hand, are able to resolve all of such differences within fifteen (15) days
following such delivery of the Reassumption Price Notice of Disagreement, then the
Reassumption Date Loan Value Schedule, as adjusted to reflect such resolution, shall
become final and binding on the parties hereto. If AIG, on the one hand, and
Purchaser, on the other hand, are unable to resolve all of such differences within
such fifteen (15) day period, any item remaining in dispute shall be resolved in
accordance with the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Section
1.3(b)(vii)(E).
(E) Dispute Resolution Procedures. If AIG, on the one hand, and
Purchaser, on the other hand, are unable to resolve (i) within five (5) Business
Days following delivery of any Released Escrowed Assets Certification Notice of
Disagreement all differences thereunder, or (ii) within fifteen (15) days following
delivery of any Reassumption Price Notice of Disagreement all differences
thereunder, as the case may be, then AIG and Purchaser shall submit the applicable
Released Escrowed Assets Certification or Reassumption Date Loan Value Schedule, as
the case may be, to the Independent Accountant (selected in accordance with the
procedures set forth in Section 1.5(b) hereof) for review and resolution of
any and all matters that remain in dispute with respect to such Released Escrowed
Assets Certification Notice of Disagreement or the Reassumption Price Notice of
Disagreement, as the case may be, and the opinion of the Independent Accountant as
to the applicable Released Escrowed Assets Certification or the Reassumption Date
Loan Value Schedule, as the case may be, shall be final and binding on the parties
hereto. AIG shall and shall cause Sellers to, and Purchaser shall provide the
Independent Accountant with reasonable cooperation and reasonable access to permit
such review and resolution; provided, however, that the accountants
of AIG and Sellers will not be obligated to make any work papers available to the
Purchaser unless and until the Purchaser and the Independent Accountant have signed
a customary confidentiality and hold harmless agreement relating to such access to
work papers in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such accountants. AIG
and Purchaser shall instruct the Independent Accountant that it should undertake
such review and resolution, and deliver written notice thereof to AIG and Purchaser,
within thirty (30) days after the matter has been referred to the Independent
Accountant. The scope of the Independent Accountant’s engagement (which shall not
be an audit) shall be limited to the resolution of the disputed items expressly
described in the applicable Released Escrowed Assets Certification Notice of
Disagreement or Reassumption Price Notice of Disagreement, as the case may be, and
the recalculation, if any, of (I) the Escrowed Assets to be released and the amounts
payable to either party, each in accordance with Section 1.3(b)(vi)(C) or
(II) the Reassumption Price, as the case may be, in light of such resolution in
accordance with this Section 1.3(b)(vii)(E). The Independent Accountant
shall have no authority to review or raise items not expressly identified in any
Released Escrowed Assets Certification Notice of Disagreement or Reassumption Price
Notice of Disagreement, as the case may be. If the Independent Accountant is
engaged pursuant to this Section 1.3(b)(vii)(E), the fees and expenses of
the
14
Independent Accountant shall be borne equally by AIG (on behalf of Sellers), on
the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand.
Section 1.4 Purchase Price. The initial aggregate purchase price for the Purchased
Assets, including the Transferred Intellectual Property is SIX HUNDRED SEVENTY NINE MILLION FIVE
HUNDRED ONE THOUSAND EIGHT DOLLARS ($679,501,008.00) (the “Initial Purchase Price”), but is
subject to adjustment as provided in Section 1.5 hereof (as so adjusted, the “Purchase
Price”). The Initial Purchase Price equals, in the aggregate, the Initial Loan Value of each
Loan contained in the Purchased Assets multiplied by the Purchase Price Percentage in respect of
such Loan. Schedule 1.4 hereto (the “Initial Loan Value Schedule”) sets forth the
calculation of the Initial Loan Value in respect of each Loan. At the Closing, Purchaser shall (i)
pay the Initial Purchase Price in respect of the Closing Date Purchased Assets with respect to
which there are no Escrowed Assets related thereto (such amount, the “Estimated Closing Date
Purchased Assets Purchase Price”) to Sellers, (ii) deposit on behalf of Sellers an amount equal
to the Initial Purchase Price in respect of the Escrowed Assets and the Closing Date Purchased
Assets related thereto (such amount, the “Estimated Escrowed Assets Purchase Price” and,
together with the Estimated Closing Date Purchased Assets Purchase Price, collectively, the
“Estimated Purchase Price”) in the Purchase Price Escrow Account to be held by the Escrow
Agent in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement, and (iii) assume the Assumed
Liabilities from Sellers. Sellers shall accept (x) the Estimated Closing Date Purchased Assets
Purchase Price from Purchaser, and (y) the Estimated Escrowed Assets Purchase Price delivered by
Purchaser to the Escrow Agent for deposit into the Purchase Price Escrow Account to be held and
released in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement and the assumption of the Assumed
Liabilities by Purchaser, in full payment for the Purchased Assets, including the Transferred
Intellectual Property, subject to any adjustment as provided in Section 1.5(c) hereof. The
Estimated Purchase Price is payable in the manner provided in Sections 2.3(a)(i) and
2.3(b) hereof.
Section 1.5 Purchase Price Adjustment.
(a) As promptly as practicable, but in any event within thirty (30) calendar days following
the Closing Date, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to AIG and Sellers a schedule (the
“Closing Date Loan Value Schedule”) setting forth Purchaser’s calculation of the Closing
Date Loan Value. The Closing Date Loan Value shall be calculated in the same manner as the Initial
Loan Value, using accounting procedures and practices consistent with those used to calculate the
Initial Loan Value, including the same Purchase Price Percentage in respect of each Loan. AIG
shall and shall cause Sellers to cooperate with Purchaser to permit Purchaser to prepare the
Closing Date Loan Value Schedule. Such cooperation shall include providing Purchaser and its
agents and representatives with reasonable access to all books and records in Sellers’ (or any of
their respective Affiliates’) possession relating to the Purchased Assets, and with reasonable
access to the personnel of Sellers and their respective Affiliates.
(b) If AIG disagrees in good faith with the Closing Date Loan Value Schedule, then AIG shall
notify Purchaser in writing (the “Notice of Disagreement”) of such disagreement within
fifteen (15) days following Purchaser’s delivery of the Closing Date Loan Value Schedule. The
Notice of Disagreement shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for the disagreement
described therein. If no Notice of Disagreement is received by Purchaser within
15
such fifteen (15) day period, then the Closing Date Loan Value Schedule shall be deemed to
have been accepted by AIG and shall become final and binding on the parties hereto. During the
fifteen (15) day period immediately following the delivery of a Notice of Disagreement in
accordance with the first two sentences of this Section 1.5(b), AIG, on the one hand, and
Purchaser, on the other hand, shall attempt in good faith to resolve any differences that they may
have with respect to any matter specified in the Notice of Disagreement. If AIG, on the one hand,
and Purchaser, on the other hand, are able to resolve all of such differences within fifteen (15)
days following such delivery of the Notice of Disagreement, then the Closing Date Loan Value
Schedule, as adjusted to reflect such resolution, shall become final and binding on the parties
hereto. If AIG, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, are unable to resolve all of
such differences within fifteen (15) days following such delivery of the Notice of Disagreement,
then AIG and Purchaser shall submit the Closing Date Loan Value Schedule to KPMG LLP (the
“Independent Accountant”) for review and resolution of any and all matters that remain in
dispute with respect to the Notice of Disagreement, and the opinion of the Independent Accountant
as to the Closing Date Loan Value Schedule shall be final and binding on the parties hereto. In
the event that KPMG LLP refuses or is otherwise unable to act as the Independent Accountant, the
parties shall cooperate in good faith to appoint an independent certified public accounting firm in
the United States mutually agreeable to the parties, in which event “Independent Accountant” shall
mean such firm. If the parties are unable to agree on selecting such firm, then the parties
promptly shall jointly request the American Arbitration Association to appoint, within ten (10)
Business Days from the date of such request, an internationally recognized firm of public
accountants independent of both AIG and Purchaser to serve as the Independent Accountant. AIG
shall and shall cause Sellers to, and Purchaser shall provide the Independent Accountant with
reasonable cooperation and reasonable access to permit such review and resolution;
provided, however, that the accountants of AIG and Sellers will not be obligated to
make any work papers available to the Purchaser unless and until the Purchaser and the Independent
Accountant have signed a customary confidentiality and hold harmless agreement relating to such
access to work papers in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such accountants. AIG and
Purchaser shall instruct the Independent Accountant that it should undertake such review and
resolution, and deliver written notice thereof to AIG and Purchaser, within thirty (30) days after
the matter has been referred to the Independent Accountant. The scope of the Independent
Accountant’s engagement (which shall not be an audit) shall be limited to the resolution of the
disputed items expressly described in the Notice of Disagreement, and the recalculation, if any, of
the Purchase Price in light of such resolution in accordance with this Section 1.5(b). The
Independent Accountant shall have no authority to review or raise items not expressly identified in
the Notice of Disagreement. If the Independent Accountant is engaged pursuant to this Section
1.5(b), the fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be borne equally by AIG (on
behalf of Sellers), on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand.
(c) The Purchase Price in respect of the Purchased Assets in the aggregate shall be reduced
(the “Purchase Price Reduction”) by the amount, if any, that the sum of the aggregate
Closing Date Loan Value of each Loan (as set forth on the final Closing Date Loan Value Schedule
prepared pursuant to Sections 1.5(a) and (b)), in each case, multiplied by the
applicable Purchase Price Percentage in respect of each such Loan (such amount, the “Final
Closing Date Purchase Price”) is less than the Estimated Purchase Price. The Purchase Price in
respect of the Purchased Assets in the aggregate shall be increased (the “Purchase Price
Increase”) by the
16
amount, if any, that the Final Closing Date Purchase Price is greater than the Estimated
Purchase Price. In the event and to the extent that:
(i) any Purchase Price Reduction is payable by Sellers to Purchaser in respect of any
Closing Date Purchased Assets with respect to which there are no Escrowed Assets related
thereto or any Released Escrow Assets for which all applicable Required Consents have been
obtained on or prior to the date upon which the Closing Date Loan Value Schedule has become
final and binding on the parties hereto in accordance with Section 1.5(b) hereof,
AIG shall cause Sellers to pay such applicable portion of the Purchase Price Reduction in
respect of such Closing Date Purchased Assets and Released Escrowed Assets to Purchaser;
(ii) any Purchase Price Reduction is payable by Sellers to Purchaser in respect of any
Escrowed Assets (and the related Closing Date Purchased Assets) for which all applicable
Required Consents have not been obtained on or prior to the date upon which the Closing Date
Loan Value Schedule has become final and binding on the parties hereto in accordance with
Section 1.5(b) hereof, AIG shall, as promptly as practicable, and in any event, not
more than two (2) Business Days following such date, direct the Escrow Agent in writing in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1.5(c)(ii) to release to Purchaser from the
Purchase Price Escrow Account, such applicable portion of the Purchase Price Reduction in
respect of such Escrowed Assets;
(iii) any Purchase Price Increase is payable by Purchaser to Sellers in respect of any
Closing Date Purchased Assets with respect to which there are no Escrowed Assets related
thereto or any Released Escrow Assets for which all applicable Required Consents have been
obtained on or prior to the date upon which the Closing Date Loan Value Schedule has become
final and binding on the parties hereto in accordance with Section 1.5(b) hereof,
Purchaser shall pay such applicable portion of the Purchase Price Increase in respect of
such Closing Date Purchased Assets and Released Escrowed Assets to the applicable Seller;
and
(iv) any Purchase Price Increase is payable by Purchaser to Sellers in respect of any
Escrowed Assets (and the related Closing Date Purchased Assets) for which all applicable
Required Consents have not been obtained on or prior to the date upon which the Closing Date
Loan Value Schedule has become final and binding on the parties hereto in accordance with
Section 1.5(b) hereof, the Purchaser shall deliver to the Escrow Agent to be
deposited in the Purchase Price Escrow Account and held and released by the Escrow Agent in
accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement, such applicable portion of the Purchase
Price Increase in respect of such Escrowed Assets,
In any such case of the preceding clauses (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) of this Section
1.5(c), the applicable party shall, within three (3) Business Days after the date upon which
the Closing Date Loan Value Schedule becomes final and binding in accordance with Section
1.5(b) hereof, pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds to one or more accounts
designated by the party or parties or to the Purchase Price Escrow Account, as the case may be,
entitled to such amount in accordance with the foregoing. If no Purchase Price Reduction or
Purchase Price Increase is required by the terms hereof, then the Purchase Price shall equal the
Estimated Purchase Price.
17
For the avoidance of doubt, there shall be no adjustment to the Purchase Price in respect of
any amount payable under any Retention Bonus Agreement to any Transferred Employee in accordance
with Section 6.7(c) hereof.
Section 1.6 Allocation of Consideration; Ownership of Escrowed Items.
(a) Allocation of Consideration. AIG shall cause each of the Sellers to, and the
Purchaser shall, allocate the Purchase Price (plus any other items treated as consideration for the
Purchased Assets for Tax purposes) among the Purchased Assets (including the Escrowed Assets and
Transferred Intellectual Property) in a manner consistent with the allocation set forth on
Schedule 1.6(a) attached hereto (the “Allocation”), and, unless otherwise required
by applicable Law, AIG agrees to cause the Sellers, and the Purchaser hereby agrees, to file
Internal Revenue Service Form 8594, and all federal, state, provincial, local and foreign Tax
Returns, in accordance with such Allocation.
(b) Ownership of Assets and Monies Held in Escrow. The parties hereto hereby
acknowledge and agree that from and after the Closing, the Purchaser, AIG and the Sellers shall
treat (i) Sellers as the owners for all purposes of amounts deposited into the Purchase Price
Escrow Account, subject to compliance with Section 1.3(b) of this Agreement and the lien
granted by AIG and Sellers to Purchaser pursuant to the Escrow Agreement to secure AIG’s
obligations under such Section 1.3(b), and (ii) the Purchaser as the owner of (x) the
Escrowed Assets and the Closing Date Purchased Assets related thereto and amounts deposited into
the Escrowed Assets Escrow Account, subject to compliance with Section 1.3(b) of this
Agreement and the lien granted by the Purchaser to AIG pursuant to the Escrow Agreement to secure
the Purchaser’s obligations under such Section 1.3(b) and (y) the Escrowed Asset Non-Legal
Loan Files, subject to compliance with Section 1.3(b) of this Agreement and the lien
granted by the Purchaser to AIG pursuant to the Escrow Agreement to secure the Purchaser’s
obligations under such Section 1.3(b).
ARTICLE II

3.12, the Transferred Intellectual Property, and (iii) the Assumed Liabilities each Seller is
transferring to Purchaser hereunder, hereby represents and warrants to Purchaser on and as of the

Section 3.1 Organization and Authority of Sellers. Each Seller is a corporation duly
incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the jurisdiction of its
incorporation. Each Seller is a corporation duly qualified or licensed as a foreign corporation
and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which its right, title or interest in or to any
Purchased Assets makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so duly
qualified or licensed would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Seller has all requisite
corporate power to enter into, consummate the transactions contemplated by, and carry out its
respective obligations under, each of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party. The
execution and delivery by each Seller of the Transaction Documents to which such Seller is a party
(or the applicable Affiliate of the Seller of each of the Transaction Documents to which the Seller
or the applicable Affiliate of the Seller is a party) and the consummation by such Seller (or the
applicable Affiliate of such Seller) of the transactions contemplated by, and the performance by
such Seller (or the applicable Affiliate of such Seller) of its respective obligations under, the
Transaction Documents have been duly authorized by all requisite action on the part of such Seller
(or the applicable Affiliate of such Seller). Upon their execution and delivery the Transaction
Documents will be, duly executed and delivered by each Seller to the extent a party thereto.
Assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties thereto, and upon execution
and delivery thereof, the Transaction Documents will constitute, the legal, valid and binding
obligation of each Seller to the extent a party thereto (or the applicable Affiliate of the Seller
of the Transaction Documents to which the applicable Affiliate of the Seller is a party),
enforceable against such Seller (or the applicable Affiliate of such Seller) in accordance with
their terms, subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency,
moratorium, rehabilitation, liquidation, fraudulent conveyance, preferential transfer or similar
Laws now or hereafter in effect relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally
and subject, as to enforceability, to the effect of general equitable principles (regardless of
21
whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law) (the “Enforceability
Exceptions”).
Section 3.2 No Violation; Consents. The execution and delivery by each Seller of
each Transaction Document to which such Seller is or will be a party (or by the applicable
Affiliate of the Seller of each of the Transaction Documents to which such Affiliate of the Seller
is a party), and the consummation by such Seller (or the applicable Affiliate of such Seller) of
all of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including, without limitation, the sale
and assignment of the Purchased Assets, including the Transferred Intellectual Property of such
Seller by such Seller to Purchaser and the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities by Purchaser:
(a) do not violate any provision of such Seller’s Organizational Documents;
(b) except as may result from any facts or circumstances solely relating to the identity or
regulatory status of Purchaser or its Affiliates and except as set forth on Schedule 3.2(b)
hereto, do not require any consent, approval, license, permit, order, qualification, authorization
of, or registration or other action by, or any filing with or notification to, any Governmental
Authority (including, without limitation, any party to a Loan Document) (each, a “Governmental
Approval”), to be obtained or made by the Sellers, except for any Governmental Approvals the
failure to obtain or make which, individually or in the aggregate, would not have a Material
Adverse Effect; and
(c) except as set forth on Schedule 3.2(c), do not violate or conflict with, or result
in a breach or termination of any provision of, or constitute a default under, or accelerate or
permit the acceleration of the performance required by the terms of, or result in the creation of
any Lien other than a Permitted Lien upon any of the Purchased Assets, including the Transferred
Intellectual Property of each Seller under, (i) any contract, license, permit, agreement or
instrument to which such Seller is a party or by which such Seller or any of the Purchased Assets,
including the Transferred Intellectual Property of such Seller is bound or (ii) any applicable
Governmental Order or Law to which such Seller is a party or by which such Seller or any of the
Purchased Assets, including the Transferred Intellectual Property of such Seller is bound, except,
in the case of either clause (i) or (ii), for any such violation, conflict, breach, termination,
default or acceleration which (A) is applicable solely as a result of (I) any act or omission by
Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or (II) the status of any fact, event or circumstance pertaining
to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates but not to any Seller or any of its Affiliates or (B) would
not have a Material Adverse Effect.
Section 3.3 Litigation. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.3 hereto, as of
the date of this Agreement there are no Actions of any kind or nature pending or, to the Knowledge
of each Seller, threatened in writing by any Person against such Seller relating to the Purchased
Assets and the Assumed Liabilities.
Section 3.4 Title to Purchased Assets. Except for the Transferred Intellectual
Property which is the subject of Section 3.12, and except as set forth on Schedule
3.4 hereto, each Seller has good title to or a valid right to possess those Purchased Assets
not held as Loan Collateral of such Seller, free and clear of all Liens, other than (a) any Liens
arising as a result of the Transaction Documents and (b) Permitted Liens.
22
Section 3.5 Security Interest. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.5, each
Seller has a validly created, existing and perfected security interest in the Loan Collateral
pledged, assigned, mortgaged, delivered or transferred as security under such Seller’s Loan
Security Documents.
Section 3.6 Loans; Loan Documents. With respect to each Loan made by a Seller:
(a) except as set forth on Schedule 3.6(a), such Loan arose from a bona fide
transaction in the Ordinary Course of Business;
(b) a copy of each written Loan Document relating to such Loan has been made available to
Purchaser;
(c) to the extent a Loan Document is evidenced via a photocopy, scanned copy in portable
document format (“pdf”), facsimile or other copy delivered via electronic means and not an original
executed instrument or document, such copy or copies (i) are maintained in the Loan File or
Escrowed Asset Non-Legal Loan File for such Loan, (ii) are true, complete and correct copies of the
original instruments or documents as executed by the Borrower, and (iii) have not been superseded,
replaced or modified by any other writing, except for any such amendment, modification, extension,
renewal or confirmation of such Loan Document as maintained in the applicable Loan File or Escrowed
Asset Non-Legal Loan File, as the case may be;
(d) each Loan File and Escrowed Asset Non-Legal Loan File delivered at the Closing Date or the
applicable Escrowed Asset Release Date, as the case may be, contains all correspondence or other
communication, documents, files or other books and records that Sellers reasonably believe are
material to the origination, servicing or renewal of such Loan; provided, that the
Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that each Escrowed Asset Non-Legal Loan File does not include the
applicable Escrowed Assets which would otherwise be included therein;
(e) except as set forth in Schedule 3.6(e)(x), to the Knowledge of Sellers, each
outstanding Loan constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Obligor named therein,
enforceable in accordance with its terms, except to the extent such enforceability may be limited
by the Enforceability Exceptions. Except as otherwise set forth in Schedule 3.6(e)(y), no
Obligor named in any Loan has provided notice (whether written or, to the Knowledge of Sellers,
oral) to any Seller that such Obligor intends to attempt to avoid the enforceability of any term of
any Loan under any such Enforceability Exceptions or for any other reason, and no Loan is subject
to any valid defense, set off or counterclaim that has been asserted (whether written or, to the
Knowledge of Sellers, oral) with respect to such Loan;
(f) except as set forth in Schedule 3.6(f), to the Knowledge of Sellers, the forms of
documentation used by Sellers for the origination of Loans contain provisions enforceable against
the Obligor (subject to the Enforceability Exceptions) such that the rights and remedies of the
holder thereof pursuant to such provisions create a valid, binding and enforceable obligation in
accordance with the express terms of the Loans (subject to the Enforceability Exceptions); and
(g) except as set forth on Schedule 3.6(g), such Seller is not in material breach of
or material default under any Loan Document relating to such Loan and to the Knowledge of the
applicable Seller, no other party to any Loan Document relating to such Loan is as of the date
23
hereof in material breach of or material default under any such Loan Document. Solely for
purposes of this Section 3.6(g), a Loan will only be deemed to be in material breach or
material default if (i) a Seller has received written notice of a breach or material default by
such Seller under a Loan Document relating to such Loan, (ii) any payment in respect of such Loan
is more than sixty (60) days past due, (iii) any Obligor thereto has failed to satisfy any other
material obligation in respect thereof (including remedying of any Loan Collateral deficiency in
respect thereof) for more than sixty (60) days or (iv) the applicable Seller has otherwise
exercised any remedies with respect to such Loan and the Loan Collateral securing such Loan is
insufficient to satisfy principal and other amounts due and payable to the applicable Seller.
Section 3.7 Compliance With Law.
(a) Except as set forth on Schedule 3.7(a), the Loans have been originated and
serviced since June 30, 2006 in material compliance with all Laws applicable to the origination or
servicing of the Loans (collectively, “Origination and Servicing Laws”), except where the
failure to be in such material compliance would not result in the failure of any of the Loans to be
valid, binding and enforceable in accordance with its express terms (subject to the Enforceability
Exceptions).
(b) No Seller has received any notice, whether written or, to the Knowledge of each Seller,
oral, involving any matters that are unresolved as of the date hereof from any Governmental
Authority regarding any actual or alleged failure of the origination or servicing of the Loans to
be in material compliance with any Origination and Servicing Law and where such actual or alleged
failure of the origination or servicing of the Loans to be in such material compliance would result
in the failure of any of the Loans to be valid, binding and enforceable obligations in accordance
with its express terms (subject to the Enforceability Exceptions).
(c) Since June 30, 2006 there exist no facts or circumstances relating to Sellers’ compliance
with all requirements for licenses, permits, exemptions, consents, waivers, authorizations, rights,
franchises, orders, approvals, and registrations imposed by any Governmental Authority that would
result in any of the Loans failing to be valid, binding and enforceable obligations in accordance
with its express terms (subject to the Enforceability Exceptions).
Section 3.8 Employees. Schedule 3.8 hereto lists certain employees of
Sellers who, as of the date of this Agreement, have employment duties primarily related to the life

3.10, no Seller has received notice (whether written or, to Sellers’ Knowledge, oral) (a) that
any customer, agent, broker or business referral sources of either Seller material to the Purchased
Assets intends to discontinue or materially diminish the business it does with Sellers, or (b) that
any Specified A.I. Credit Employee set forth on Schedule 3.10 hereof of either Seller
intends to terminate or materially alter the terms of his or her employment other than on the

Credit Employees. Except as set forth in Schedule 3.10, to the Knowledge of Sellers, there

which are reasonably likely to be material to the Purchased Assets.

25
(b) Transferred Life Business Intellectual Property. As of the date hereof Sellers
are the sole and exclusive owners of the Transferred Life Business Intellectual Property, free and
clear of all Liens, other than Permitted Liens. Other than (i) the Parent Names and Marks, (ii)
third party software including open source software and (iii) know-how as may be retained by any
Specified A.I. Credit Employees who do not become Transferred Employees or any other employee of
either Seller, AIG or any of their respective Affiliates, the Transferred Life Business
Intellectual Property includes all material Intellectual Property used predominantly in connection
with originating and servicing the Loans as currently conducted by Sellers. To the Knowledge of
Sellers, there is no unauthorized use, infringement or misappropriation of the Transferred Life
Business Intellectual Property. Since January 1, 2005, neither Seller has received any written
notice from a third party alleging that the Transferred Life Business Intellectual Property
infringes or violates any Intellectual Property rights of such third party.
(c) EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 3.12 AND SECTION 3.2, THE

of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons with respect to each Obligor under each
Closing Date Purchased Asset and Escrowed Asset.

Sellers and their Affiliates) made after the delivery of the Transferred System Intellectual
Property to Purchaser, and all Intellectual Property rights therein shall be owned by the party
making such Improvement. No rights are granted hereunder to either party to any Improvements made

hardware, storage devices or other information, materials or equipment that are not
Purchased Assets, Loans, Loan Files, Escrowed Asset Non-Legal Loan Files and that are not
used in connection with conducting the ongoing business of owning the Purchased Assets and
Assumed Liabilities (“Archived Files”), the Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that

Sellers in writing of such obligation; provided, however, that the failure to
provide such notice shall not release AIG, any Seller or their respective Affiliates from such
liability or obligation. At the request of AIG or any Seller from time to time, Purchaser will
reasonably cooperate and assist AIG or Sellers, at AIG’s or Sellers’ sole cost and expense, as
applicable, in satisfying or minimizing any such liability or other obligation. Notwithstanding

Governmental Authority or that are necessary, proper or advisable to give effect to the
transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents; (ii) the prompt use of its best efforts to
avoid the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any permanent, preliminary or temporary
injunction or other order, decree, decision, determination or judgment that would delay, restrain,
prevent, enjoin or otherwise prohibit giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the
Transaction Documents; and (iii) the prompt use of its best efforts to take, in the event that any
permanent, preliminary or temporary injunction, decision, order, judgment, determination or decree
is entered or issued, or becomes reasonably foreseeable to be entered or issued, in any proceeding
or inquiry of any kind that would make giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the
Transaction Documents in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents unlawful or that
would delay, restrain, prevent, enjoin or otherwise prohibit giving effect to the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction Documents, any and all steps (including the appeal thereof, the
posting of a bond or, in the case of the Purchaser, the taking of the steps contemplated by clause
(ii) of this paragraph) necessary to resist, vacate, modify, reverse, suspend, prevent, eliminate

approval.

each Tax Return required by Law to be filed by it, and AIG shall cause Sellers to, on the one hand,
and Purchaser shall, on the other hand, cooperate with each other in the preparation, execution and
filing of all Tax Returns regarding any Tax which becomes payable as a result of the transactions
contemplated hereby and shall cooperate with each other to seek an available exemption from any
such Tax.
(c) Subject to Section 6.4(b) hereof, AIG shall cause each Seller to be responsible
for and pay or cause to be paid when due all Taxes applicable to the Purchased Assets being sold
and assigned by such Seller hereunder or the Escrowed Assets being transferred by such Seller
hereunder and attributable to any Tax period (or portion thereof) ending on or prior to the Closing
Date or, in the case of any Reassumed Asset, any Tax period (or portion thereof) that begins on or
after the Reassumption Date. Except to the extent provided in the preceding sentence with respect
to any Reassumed Asset, Purchaser shall be responsible for and pay or cause to be paid when due all
Taxes applicable to the Purchased Assets or the Escrowed Assets attributable to any Tax period (or
portion thereof) that begins after the Closing Date. For purposes of this Section 6.4(c),
any period beginning before and ending on or after the Closing Date shall be treated as two
separate Tax periods, one ending on the close of the Closing Date and the other beginning on the
day after the Closing Date, except that Taxes imposed on a periodic basis shall be allocated
between a period ending on the Closing Date and a period beginning on the day after the Closing
Date in proportion to the number of days in each such period.
(d) Purchaser, on the one hand, and AIG, on the other hand, shall provide indemnification and
reimbursement for any Tax or other amount which is the responsibility of such party or, in the case
of AIG, Sellers, pursuant to the terms of this Section 6.4 and which is required to be paid
by the other party hereto or its Affiliates. Each of Purchaser and AIG hereby acknowledge and
agree that notwithstanding Section 7(a) and Section 9(b)(i) of the Escrow Agreement
and subject to Section 6.4(b) hereof, (i) each shall bear fifty percent (50%) of any
transfer tax referred to in Section 7(a) of the Escrow Agreement and of any claim for
indemnification made by any Escrow Agent Indemnified Party in accordance with Section
9(b)(i) of the Escrow Agreement, and each of AIG and the Purchaser shall indemnify and
reimburse the other to the extent such party has paid an amount to any Escrow Agent Indemnified
Party over its fifty percent (50%) share of any such claim, such that following such reimbursement,
each of AIG and the Purchaser shall have borne a fifty percent (50%) share of any such claim and
(ii) each of AIG and Purchaser shall indemnify and reimburse the other to the extent such party has
paid an amount to any Escrow Agent Indemnified Party in respect of a tax referred to in Section
7(a) of the Escrow Agreement (other than a transfer tax) with respect to
39
any Escrowed Assets, Escrow Earnings or interest or other income earned in respect of the
Escrowed Assets which is not treated as the asset or income of such party pursuant to Section
7(a) of the Escrow Agreement or this Agreement, such that, following such indemnification and
reimbursement, each of AIG and the Purchaser bear the amount of such tax such party is obligated to
bear pursuant to this Section 6.4, or that is attributable to income reported to such party
by the Escrow Agent in accordance with Section 7(a) of the Escrow Agreement. Within a reasonable
time prior to the payment of any such Tax (or other amount) by an indemnified party, the Person
paying such Tax (or other amount) shall notify in writing the indemnifying party pursuant to this
Section 6.4(d) of the amount of such Tax (or other amount) and the portion thereof which is
the liability of such indemnifying party, although a failure to receive such notice will not
relieve such party from its liability hereunder except to the extent that it has been prejudiced by
such delay or failure.
(e) Purchaser shall promptly notify AIG in writing upon receipt by Purchaser or any of its
Affiliates of notice of any pending or threatened federal, state, provincial, local or foreign Tax
audit, examination, assessment or reassessment which may affect the Tax liabilities for which AIG
would be required to indemnify Purchaser or any of its Affiliates pursuant to this Section
6.4. AIG shall have the sole right to control any Tax audit or administrative or court
proceeding relating to any Tax period (or portion thereof) ending on or prior to the Closing Date
or, in the case of any Reassumed Asset, any Tax period (or portion thereof) beginning on of after
the Reassumption Date, and to employ counsel of AIG’s choice at AIG’s expense and Purchaser shall
have a reasonable opportunity to participate in any such Tax audit or administrative or court
proceeding. Neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates may settle any Tax claim for any Tax
period (or portion thereof) ending on or prior to the Closing Date or, in the case of any Reassumed
Asset, any Tax period (or portion thereof) beginning on or after the Reassumption Date which may be
the subject of indemnification by AIG under this Section 6.4 without the prior written
consent of AIG, which consent may be withheld in the sole discretion of AIG.
Section 6.5 Remittances. If a Seller receives any remittance from an Obligor after
the Closing Date with respect to any obligation of such Obligor due after the Closing Date (i) in
respect of any Closing Date Purchased Asset with respect to which there are no Escrowed Assets
related thereto or any Released Escrowed Asset, AIG shall cause such Seller to endorse such
remittance (or applicable portion thereof) to the order of Purchaser and forward it to Purchaser or
(ii) in respect of any Escrowed Asset or Closing Date Purchased Asset related thereto, AIG shall
cause such Seller to forward such remittance (or applicable portion thereof) to the Escrow Agent
for deposit into the Escrowed Assets Escrow Account to be held and released by the Escrow Agent in
accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement. If Purchaser receives any remittance (including
any Post-Closing Prepaid Interest Amount) from an Obligor after the Closing Date with respect to
any obligation of such Obligor in respect of any Escrowed Asset or any Closing Date Purchased Asset
related thereto (other than in respect of any Released Escrowed Asset), the Purchaser shall forward
such remittance to the Escrow Agent for deposit into the Escrowed Assets Escrow Account to be held
and released by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement.
40
Section 6.6 UCC Financing Statements.
(a) With respect to each Loan for which a UCC financing statement designating Sellers as a
“secured party” has been filed and is in effect on the Closing Date, AIG, on behalf of each of the
Sellers, hereby authorizes Purchaser (within the meaning of Section 9-509(d) of the UCC) to file,
at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, a notice of assignment or an amendment to each such UCC
financing statement designating the applicable Seller as “assignor” and Purchaser as
“assignee/secured party” at any time (i) after the Closing in respect of any Closing Date Purchased
Asset and (ii) after the applicable Escrowed Asset Release Date in respect of any Released Escrowed
Asset.
(b) Purchaser hereby authorizes AIG to file, at AIG’s sole cost and expense and in any
jurisdiction which AIG deems necessary, financing statements and any amendments thereto designating
all or any portion of the Escrowed Assets and the Closing Date Purchased Assets related thereto,
Escrowed Asset Non-Legal Loan Files, Escrowed Assets Escrow Account, any collateral assignment
executed by either Seller and delivered to the applicable Insurer in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement in respect of any Policy or Annuity which serves as collateral for an Escrowed Asset
(whether such Policy or Annuity is included in the Closing Date Purchased Assets or the Escrowed
Assets) and, in each case, all proceeds thereof as collateral and designating the Purchaser as
“debtor” and AIG as “secured party”.
(c) AIG hereby authorizes and shall cause Sellers to authorize Purchaser to file, at
Purchaser’s sole cost and expense and in any jurisdiction in which Purchaser deems necessary,
financing statements and any amendments thereto designating all or any portion of the Purchase
Price Escrow Account and all proceeds thereof as collateral and designating AIG and Sellers as
“debtor” and Purchaser as “secured party”.
Section 6.7 Specified A.I. Credit Employees.
(a) Offers of Employment. Purchaser will offer to employ as of the Closing Date each
of the Specified A.I. Credit Employees. All Specified A.I. Credit Employees who accept such offer
of employment are referred to as “Transferred Employees.” Each offer of employment to a
Specified A.I. Credit Employee will be on such terms and conditions as Purchaser may determine in
its sole discretion based upon Purchaser’s standard policies and procedures; provided,
however, that such offers will be for a comparable position as that held by such Specified
A.I. Credit Employee with Sellers on the Closing Date.
(b) Certain Employment Agreements. On the Closing Date those certain Specified A.I.
Credit Employees listed on Schedule 6.7(b) shall have entered into employment agreements
with Purchaser in the form attached as Exhibit 6.7(b).
(c) Payments to Certain Transferred Employees Upon Hiring. Subject to and only upon
receipt by AIG on or prior to the Closing Date of an executed acknowledgment in substantially the
form attached as Exhibit 6.7(c) hereto from each Specified A.I. Credit Employee listed on
Schedule 6.7(c) who becomes a Transferred Employee, Purchaser is paying simultaneously with
the execution of this Agreement to each such Specified A.I. Credit Employee listed on Schedule
6.7(c) who becomes a Transferred Employee the amount set forth
41
opposite his or her name (which amount paid by the Purchaser is net of any applicable federal,
state and local withholding taxes) in consideration for such person agreeing to accept Purchaser’s
offer of employment and in full and final satisfaction of any obligations or liabilities that AIG
or the Purchaser may have which arise from or relate to the applicable Retention Bonus Agreement
set forth on Schedule 6.7(c) opposite such Transferred Employee’s name (collectively, the
“Retention Bonus Agreements”).
(d) Cessation of Employment. Each Specified A.I. Credit Employee that becomes a
Transferred Employee shall cease to be an employee of the applicable Seller as of the Closing Date.
Other than the bonuses due and payable by the Purchaser upon the Closing pursuant to Section
6.7(c), Sellers will retain responsibility for, and will indemnify Purchaser with respect to,
all compensation, bonus, welfare benefit, severance and other employment-related obligations,
including, without limitation, all obligations and liabilities under any Benefit Plans or for any
workers’ compensation or similar workers’ protection claims with respect to all Specified A.I.
Credit Employees for all periods while employed by Sellers or payable upon any cessation of
employment with Sellers in accordance with Sellers’ Benefit Plans or other contractual obligations,
whether or not they accept Purchaser’s offers of employment; provided, however,
that the Purchaser shall credit each Transferred Employee for any and all unused vacation and
discretionary days accrued through the day immediately prior to the Closing Date by such
Transferred Employee as set forth on Schedule 6.7(d).
(e) Purchaser’s Benefit Plans. With respect to each Transferred Employee:
(i) Transferred Employees will be eligible to participate in Purchaser’s retirement
savings plan, employee stock purchase plan, health, medical, long-term disability and
short-term disability plans, vacation policy and other applicable benefit plans
(collectively, “Purchaser Benefit Plans”) as provided to similarly situated
employees of Purchaser, in accordance with the terms of such Purchaser Benefit Plans. Time
in service for each Transferred Employee under Purchaser’s 401(k) Plan shall include his or
her period of service with either Seller ending on the Closing Date. Time in service for
each Transferred Employee under Purchaser’s vacation policy shall include his or her period
of service with either Seller ending on the Closing Date. To the extent that any other
Purchaser Benefit Plan takes into account time in service in determining eligible rights,
benefits or any other matter thereunder, time in service for each Transferred Employee shall
include his or per period of service with either Seller or any Affiliate of either Seller or
AIG ending on the Closing Date. In addition, although Purchaser has no written severance
policy and awards severance to terminated employees on a case-by-case basis, if in making
any decision to award severance with respect to a Transferred Employee Purchaser determines
in its sole discretion to take into account such employee’s time in service, Purchaser will
include the period of a Transferred Employee’s past service with Sellers ending on the
Closing Date as such Transferred Employee’s time in service with Purchaser. Purchaser
reserves the right to amend, modify, change or terminate any of Purchaser Benefit Plans at
any time or from time to time.
(ii) To the extent permitted by Purchaser’s Benefit Plans without additional cost,
Purchaser will cause any pre-existing condition limitation under the medical benefit
42
plans made available by Purchaser to be waived to the extent such conditions have been
waived under the applicable Seller’s Benefit Plans.
(iii) Purchaser hereby assumes the obligation and liability for, and will indemnify AIG
and Sellers with respect to, all compensation, bonus, welfare benefit, severance and other
employment-related obligations, including, without limitation, all obligations and
liabilities under any Purchaser Benefit Plans or for any workers’ compensation or similar
workers’ protection claims with respect to any Transferred Employee for all periods while
employed by Purchaser.
(f) No Rights or Remedies. Nothing in this Section 6.7 shall confer upon any
Specified A.I. Credit Employee, Transferred Employee or other employee of AIG or either Seller, or
his or her legal representative, any rights or remedies, including any right to employment, or
continued employment, for any specified period, or any nature or kind whatsoever under or by reason
of this Agreement.
Section 6.8 Bulk Sales Laws. Purchaser hereby waives compliance by AIG, Sellers and
each of their respective Affiliates with the requirements and provisions of any “bulk-transfer”
Laws of any jurisdiction that may otherwise be applicable with respect to the sale of any or all of
the Purchased Assets to Purchaser.
Section 6.9 Renewal Loans. Following the Closing Date, if and to the extent that the
Purchaser determines, as an internal policy matter and not in response to any Governmental Order
affecting Purchaser or its Affiliates, to no longer renew (whether in the form of a new loan or a
renewal of an existing loan) a Loan included in the Purchased Assets or the Escrowed Assets on the
same terms and at the then existing interest rate spread above LIBOR or any other benchmark, as
applicable in respect of such Loan (other than to the extent (a) such renewal does not meet
Purchaser’s underwriting standards in effect at the time such Loan is up for renewal, which
standards may be changed from time to time by Purchaser in its sole discretion or (b) there has
been an adverse change, as determined by Purchaser in its sole discretion, in the value of such
Loan or the creditworthiness of the applicable Borrower) or to otherwise wind-down its life premium
finance business generally, Purchaser hereby acknowledges and agrees that it shall (i) effect such
non-renewals or wind-down of its life premium finance business in a commercially reasonable manner
and (ii) (x) provide not less than six (6) months prior written notice to each Borrower to the
extent such determination occurs on or before December 31, 2009 or (y) provide not less than four
(4) months prior written notice to each Borrower to the extent such determination occurs during the
period from January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2013, in each case, of its intention to cease
funding renewals of such Borrower’s Loan or otherwise generally wind-down its life premium finance
business. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Purchaser shall not be obligated to provide any such
notice to a Borrower whose Loan is an Escrowed Asset for which a renewal date occurs less than six
(6) months after the Closing Date and with respect to which the applicable Required Consent has not
been (or is not deemed to have been in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) obtained at the
time of such determination by Purchaser to cease funding renewals of such Borrower’s Loan or
otherwise generally wind-down its life premium finance business and (ii) the Purchaser hereby
acknowledges and agrees that it shall renew and/or fund any Loan as set forth on Schedule 1.2(c)
43
scheduled to renew and/or require any additional funding within forty five (45) days following
the Closing Date.
Section 6.10 Post-Closing Covenants. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to
the contrary, Purchaser and AIG hereby acknowledge and agree that AIG shall have no obligation to
perform or cause the applicable Seller to so perform, and Purchaser shall forever absolutely and
unconditionally release and discharge AIG and such Seller from any such obligation to so perform or
to cause such performance, as the case may be (without any further action by Purchaser or execution
of any further instrument), any Post-Closing Covenant hereunder upon any such Seller no longer
constituting an Affiliate of AIG; provided, however, that AIG’s obligation to cause
the applicable Seller to perform any Post-Closing Covenant contained in Sections 1.3(b),
1.5, 2.2(c), 5.1(e), 5.2(b), 6.1, 6.3,
6.4(b) and (c), 6.5, 6.6(c), 7.8(c) and 9.3 hereof
shall survive.
ARTICLE VII

Section 7.1 Survival. The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of
the parties contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Closing in full force
and effect until the date that is fifteen (15) months after the Closing Date, at which time they
shall terminate (and no claims shall be made for indemnification under Section 7.2 or
Section 7.3, as applicable thereafter); except: (i) Sellers’ Specified
Representations and the Purchaser’s Specified Representations shall survive the Closing
indefinitely; and (ii) the covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement (“Post-Closing
Covenants”) shall survive for the period provided in such covenants and agreements, if any, or
until fully performed.
Section 7.2 Indemnification by AIG.
(a) After the Closing and subject to this Article VII, AIG shall indemnify, defend and
hold harmless the Purchaser and its Affiliates and each of their respective directors, officers,
employees, stockholders, successors and permitted assigns (collectively, the “Purchaser
Indemnified Parties”) against, and reimburse any Purchaser Indemnified Party for, all Losses
that such Purchaser Indemnified Party may at any time suffer or incur, or become subject to, as a
result of or in connection with:
(i) the breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by AIG on behalf of
Sellers or AIG in this Agreement;
(ii) any Loss arising with respect to an Excluded Asset or an Excluded Liability; or
(iii) any breach or failure by AIG to perform or to cause Sellers to perform any
covenants or obligations contained in this Agreement, subject to the relevant survival
period in respect of any such covenant or obligation set forth in Section 7.1 and
subject to Section 6.10 hereof.
44
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, AIG shall not be required to
indemnify, defend or hold harmless any Purchaser Indemnified Party against, or reimburse any
Purchaser Indemnified Party for, any Losses pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(i):
(i) with respect to any claim (or series of related claims arising from the same
underlying facts, events or circumstances), unless such claim (or series of related claims
arising from the same underlying facts, events or circumstances) involves Losses in excess
of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) (the “Threshold Amount”) (nor shall any
such claim or series of related claims that do not meet the Threshold Amount be applied to
or considered for purposes of calculating the aggregate amount of the Purchaser Indemnified
Parties’ Losses for which AIG has responsibility under Section 7.2(b)(ii) below);
(ii) until the aggregate amount of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties’ Losses for which
Purchaser Indemnified Parties are finally determined to be otherwise entitled to
indemnification under Section 7.2(a)(i) exceeds one percent (1%) of the Purchase
Price (the “Basket Amount”), after which AIG shall be obligated for all Purchaser
Indemnified Parties’ Losses for which the Purchaser Indemnified Parties are finally
determined to be otherwise entitled to indemnification under Section 7.2(a)(i) that
are in excess of the Basket Amount, but only if such excess Losses arise with respect to any
claim (or series of related claims arising from the same underlying facts, events or
circumstances) that involves Losses in excess of the Threshold Amount;
(iii) with respect to any Losses arising out of the breach or inaccuracy of a
representation or warranty set forth in Sections 3.5, 3.6(a),
3.6(e), 3.6(g) or 3.7, in a cumulative aggregate amount in excess of
ten percent (10%) of the Purchase Price (the “Maximum Indemnification Obligation”);
and
(iv) with respect to any Losses for which the Purchaser Indemnified Parties are finally
determined to be entitled to indemnification under Section 7.2(a)(i) (other than
Sellers’ Specified Representations) in a cumulative aggregate amount in excess of five
percent (5%) of the Purchase Price; provided, however, that in no event
shall the aggregate amount of Losses for which AIG shall be obligated to indemnify the
Purchaser Indemnified Parties under Sections 7.2(b)(iii) and (iv) together
exceed the Maximum Indemnification Obligation; and
provided, further, however, that none of the foregoing limitations shall
apply to AIG’s indemnification obligations (x) with respect to Losses in respect of the breach or
inaccuracy of any of Sellers’ Specified Representations or (y) under Sections 5.1(e),
6.4, 7.2(a)(ii) and 7.2(a)(iii).
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary:
(i) AIG shall not be required to indemnify, defend or hold harmless any Purchaser
Indemnified Party against, or reimburse any Purchaser Indemnified Party for, any Losses
pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(i) (including, for this purpose, in respect of the
45
breach of any representation or warranty made by AIG in Section 7.9 hereof) in
a cumulative aggregate amount exceeding the Purchase Price; and
(ii) in the event that any fact, event or circumstance which results in an adjustment
to the Purchase Price would also constitute a breach or inaccuracy of any representations
and warranties made by AIG on Sellers’ behalf under this Agreement, or a breach or
nonperformance of any covenants or agreements to be performed by AIG or which AIG has agreed
to cause to be performed under this Agreement, AIG shall have no obligation to indemnify the
Purchaser Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Section 7.2 with respect to such
breach or inaccuracy to the extent the Losses resulting from, arising out of or related to
such fact, event or circumstance have been fully recovered by Purchaser in connection with
the computation of either the Purchase Price Increase or the Purchase Price Reduction (in
each such case, either as a reduction of the amount otherwise payable by Purchaser to
Sellers or as an increase in the amount otherwise payable by Sellers to Purchaser).
Section 7.3 Indemnification by Purchaser.
(a) After the Closing and subject to Section 1.3(b)(v) and Sections 6.4(b) and
(d) and this Article VII, the Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless
AIG, the Sellers and their respective Affiliates and each of their respective directors, officers,
employees, stockholders, successors and permitted assigns (collectively, the “Seller
Indemnified Parties”) against, and reimburse any Seller Indemnified Party for, all Losses that
such Seller Indemnified Party may at any time suffer or incur, or become subject to, as a result of
or in connection with:
(i) the breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by the Purchaser in
this Agreement;
(ii) any breach or failure by the Purchaser to perform any of its covenants or
obligations contained in this Agreement, subject to the relevant survival period in respect
of any such covenant or obligation set forth in Section 7.1;
(iii) each Assumed Liability;
(iv) any Loss arising with respect to a Purchased Asset from and after the Closing
Date, other than arising as a result of a breach or inaccuracy of any representation or
warranty made by AIG or Sellers;
(v) the failure to maintain as confidential any Consumer Information on or after the
Closing Date; or
(vi) any Data Security Breach on or after the Closing Date.
46
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, the Purchaser shall not be required
to indemnify, defend or hold harmless any Seller Indemnified Parties against, or reimburse any
Seller Indemnified Party for, any Losses pursuant to Section 7.3(a)(i):
(i) with respect to any claim (or series of related claims arising from the same
underlying facts, events or circumstances) unless such claim (or series of related claims
arising from the same underlying facts, events or circumstances) involves Losses in excess
of the Threshold Amount (nor shall any such claim or series of related claims that do not
meet the Threshold Amount be applied to or considered for purposes of calculating the
aggregate amount of the Seller Indemnified Parties’ Losses for which the Purchaser has
responsibility under Section 7.3(b)(ii) below);
(ii) until the aggregate amount of the Seller Indemnified Parties’ Losses for which
Seller Indemnified Parties are finally determined to be otherwise entitled to
indemnification under Section 7.3(a)(i) exceeds the Basket Amount, after which the
Purchaser shall be obligated for all Seller Indemnified Parties’ Losses for which the Seller
Indemnified Parties are finally determined to be otherwise entitled to indemnification under
Section 7.3(a)(i) that are in excess of the Basket Amount; but only if such excess
Losses arise with respect to any claim (or series of related claims arising from the same
underlying facts, events or circumstances) that involves Losses in excess of the Threshold
Amount; and
(iii) in a cumulative aggregate amount in excess of the Maximum Indemnification
Obligation, it being agreed that for purposes of determining whether the Maximum
Indemnification Obligation has been met or exceeded, any amount paid by the Purchaser for
Losses pursuant to Section 7.3(a)(i), other than any Losses in respect of the
inaccuracy or breach of any Purchaser Specified Representations, shall be taken into
account;
provided, however, that none of the foregoing limitations shall apply to
Purchaser’s indemnification obligations (x) with respect to Losses in respect of the inaccuracy or
breach of any of Purchaser’s Specified Representations or (y) under Section 1.3(b)(v),
Section 5.1(d), Section 6.4 or Sections 7.3(a)(ii)-(vi).
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, Purchaser shall not be required to
indemnify, defend or hold harmless any Seller Indemnified Party against, or reimburse any Seller
Indemnified Party for, any Losses pursuant to Section 7.3(a)(i) (including, for this
purpose, in respect of the inaccuracy or breach of Purchaser Specified Representations) in a
cumulative aggregate amount exceeding the Purchase Price.
Section 7.4 Other Limitations on Indemnification.
(a) No amounts of indemnity shall be payable, nor shall any Indemnifying Party or any of its
Affiliates be obligated to respond to any claim for indemnity, for Losses to the extent, but only
to the extent, that such Losses arise from any action taken by an Indemnified Party or any of its
Affiliates after the Closing; provided, however, that the foregoing limitations
shall not apply in respect of any Losses of any party arising from any action taken by any other
party or
47
any of its Affiliates after the Closing in respect of the Escrowed Assets. Each Indemnifying
Party shall take, and shall cause to be taken by each of its Affiliates, all reasonable efforts to
mitigate any Loss upon and after becoming aware of any event which could reasonably be expected to
give rise to a claim for indemnification under this Agreement.
(b) If Purchaser sells, assigns or transfers any of its right, title or interest in, to or
under any Purchased Asset to a third party, neither Purchaser nor any other Purchaser Indemnified
Party shall assert against Sellers, AIG or its Affiliates, as applicable, for purposes of
indemnification under Section 7.2, Section 5.1(e), Sections 6.4(b) and
(d) hereof, that it shall have suffered any Loss by virtue of such sale, assignment or
transfer, and any such claim for indemnification (whether such claim shall then be pending or shall
be only prospective) shall be barred forever.
(c) (c) If Purchaser waives, amends, modifies or otherwise changes the terms of any Loan
Document after the Closing (or consents to any such waiver, amendment, modification or other change
or directs AIG to cause Sellers to make any such waiver, amendment, modification or other change to
any Loan Document included in the Escrowed Assets) or changes or modifies the Transferred System
Intellectual Property, as the case may be, neither Purchaser nor any other Purchaser Indemnified
Party shall have or assert at any time any claim (whether such claim shall then be pending or shall
be only prospective) against any Seller, AIG or any of its Affiliates, as applicable, for purposes
of indemnification under Section 7.2, Section 5.1(e) or Sections 6.4(b) and
(d) hereof, that it shall have suffered any Loss resulting from or arising out of such
waiver, amendment, modification or other change to such Loan Document or the Transferred System
Intellectual Property. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 7.4(c) shall
limit in any manner (i) the ability of Purchaser to provide additional funding with respect to any
Loan or (ii) the ability of any Purchaser Indemnified Party to have or assert any claim, in
accordance with this Article VII, against any Seller or AIG for Losses caused by any breach
or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by AIG on behalf of Sellers or AIG in this
Agreement or any breach or failure by AIG to perform or to cause Sellers to perform any of their
respective covenants or obligations contained in this Agreement.
Section 7.5 Notification of Claims.
(a) A Person that may be entitled to be indemnified under this Agreement (the “Indemnified
Party”), shall promptly notify the party or parties liable for such indemnification (the
“Indemnifying Party”) in writing of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought
under this Article VII, including any pending or threatened claim or demand by a third
party that the Indemnified Party has reasonably determined has given or could reasonably give rise
to a right of indemnification under this Agreement (including a pending or threatened claim or
demand asserted by a third party against the Indemnified Party, such claim being a “Third Party
Claim”), describing in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances with respect to the
subject matter of such claim or demand; provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice
shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article VII
except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such failure. The parties agree that
(i) in this Article VII they intend to shorten (in the case of the limited survival periods
specified in Section 7.1) and lengthen (in the case of the indefinite survival periods
specified in Section 7.1), as the case may be, the applicable statute of limitations period
with respect to certain claims, (ii)
48
notices for claims in respect of a breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement
(other than a Post-Closing Covenant) must be made in good faith and delivered prior to the
expiration of any applicable survival period specified in Section 7.1 for such
representation, warranty, covenant or agreement, and (iii) any claims for indemnification for which
notice is not timely delivered in accordance with this Section 7.5(a) shall be expressly
barred and are hereby waived; provided, that if, prior to such applicable date, a party hereto
shall have notified in good faith the other party hereto in accordance with the requirements of
this Section 7.5(a) of a claim for indemnification under this Article VII (whether
or not formal legal action shall have been commenced based upon such claim), such claim shall
continue to be subject to indemnification in accordance with this Article VII
notwithstanding the passing of such applicable date.
(b) Upon receipt of a notice of a claim for indemnity from an Indemnified Party pursuant to
Section 7.5(a) in respect of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may, by notice to
the Indemnified Party delivered within twenty (20) Business Days of the receipt of notice of such
Third Party Claim, assume the defense and control of any Third Party Claim, with its own counsel
and at its own expense, subject to any pre existing rights of the Indemnified Party’s insurance
carrier to assume the defense and control of such claim, but shall allow the Indemnified Party a
reasonable opportunity to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim with its own counsel
and at its own expense. The Indemnified Party may take any actions reasonably necessary to defend

contemplated by the preceding sentence. AIG or the Purchaser, as the case may be, shall, and shall
cause each of their respective Affiliates and Representatives to, cooperate fully with the

without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which shall not be unreasonably
withheld, delayed or conditioned), consent to a settlement, compromise or discharge of, or the
entry of any judgment arising from, any Third Party Claim, unless such settlement, compromise or
discharge does not involve any finding or admission of any violation of Law or admission of any
wrongdoing by the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall (i) pay or cause to be paid
all amounts arising out of such settlement or judgment concurrently with the effectiveness of such
settlement, (ii) not encumber any of the material assets of any Indemnified Party or agree to any
restriction or condition that would materially adversely affect any Indemnified Party or the
conduct of any Indemnified Party’s business and (iii) obtain, as a condition of any settlement or
other resolution, a complete and unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from any and all
liability in respect of such Third Party Claim. The Indemnified Party shall not settle, compromise
or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any claim or demand for which it is seeking
indemnification from the Indemnifying Party or admit to any liability with respect to such claim or
demand without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article VII (including
Sections 7.2 and 7.3), no Indemnifying Party shall have any liability under this
Article VII for any Losses arising out of or in connection with any Third Party Claim that
is settled or compromised by an Indemnified Party without the consent of such Indemnifying Party.
(d) In the event any Indemnifying Party receives a notice of a claim for indemnity from an
Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 7.5(a) that does not involve a Third Party Claim,
49
the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party within twenty (20) Business Days
following its receipt of such notice whether the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability to the
Indemnified Party under this Article VII. The Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate
with and assist the Indemnifying Party in determining the validity of any such claim for indemnity
by the Indemnified Party.
Section 7.6 Payment. In the event an Action for indemnification under this
Article VII shall have been finally determined, the amount of such final determination
shall be paid (i) if the Indemnified Party is a Purchaser Indemnified Party, by AIG to the
Indemnified Party, and (ii) if the Indemnified Party is a Seller Indemnified Party, by the
Purchaser to the Indemnified Party, in each case on demand in immediately available funds. A claim
or an Action, and the liability for and amount of damages therefor, shall be deemed to be
“finally determined” for purposes of this Article VII when the parties to this
Agreement have so determined by mutual written agreement or, if disputed, when a final non
appealable Governmental Order has been entered into with respect to such claim or Action.
Section 7.7 Exclusive Remedies. Each party acknowledges and agrees that, other than
(a) in the case of fraud or intentional misrepresentation or (b) with respect to Taxes for which an
indemnity is provided pursuant to Section 6.4, the indemnification provided by this
Article VII shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of AIG and the Purchaser,
respectively, for any breach of the representations or warranties in this Agreement. For the
avoidance of doubt, absent fraud or intentional misrepresentation, no breach of any representation,
warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein shall give rise to any right on the part of any
party hereto to rescind this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby. Each party
further acknowledges and agrees that, other than (i) in the case of fraud or intentional
misrepresentation, (ii) in the case of a breach of Sections 5.1(a), (b) or
(f) or Section 6.3, (iii) with respect to Taxes for which an indemnity is provided
pursuant to Section 6.4, (iv) with respect to any Escrowed Asset for which an indemnity is
provided pursuant to Section 1.3(b)(v) and (v) with respect to the Transferred System
Intellectual Property for which an indemnity is provided pursuant to Section 5.1(d) or
(e), the indemnification provided by this Article VII shall be the sole and
exclusive monetary remedies of the parties for any breach of the Post Closing Covenants.
Section 7.8 Additional Indemnification Provisions.
(a) AIG and the Purchaser agree, for themselves and on behalf of their respective Affiliates
and Representatives, that with respect to each indemnification obligation in this Agreement, any
Transaction Documents or any other document executed or delivered in connection with the Closing
(i) each such obligation shall be calculated on an After Tax Basis, (ii) all Losses once finally
determined shall be net of any Eligible Insurance Proceeds and (iii) in no event shall the
Indemnifying Party have liability to the Indemnified Party for any consequential, special,
incidental, indirect or punitive damages, lost profits or similar items.
(b) Any amount payable by an Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article VII shall be
paid promptly and payment shall not be delayed pending any determination of Eligible Insurance
Proceeds. In any case where an Indemnified Party recovers from a third Person any Eligible
Insurance Proceeds or any other amount in respect of any Losses for which an Indemnifying Party has
actually reimbursed it pursuant to this Article VII such Indemnified
50
Party shall promptly pay over to the Indemnifying Party the amount so recovered (after
deducting therefrom the amount of expenses incurred by it in procuring such recovery), but not in
excess of the sum of (i) any amount previously paid by the Indemnifying Party to or on behalf of
the Indemnified Party in respect of such claim and (ii) any amount expended by the Indemnifying
Party in pursuing or defending any claim arising out of such matter.
(c) The parties shall and shall cause each of their respective Affiliates to treat the amount
of any indemnification payment made under this Article VII, Section 1.3(b)(v),
Section 6.4 or Sections 5.1(d) or (e) as an adjustment to the Purchase
Price for all Tax purposes.
(d) If any portion of Losses to be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party may be covered, in
whole or in part, by third party insurance coverage, the Indemnified Party shall promptly give
notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party (a “Notice of Insurance”). If the Indemnifying
Party so requests within one hundred eighty (180) days after receipt of a Notice of Insurance, the
Indemnified Party shall use its reasonable efforts to collect the maximum amount of insurance
proceeds thereunder, in which event all such proceeds actually received shall be considered
“Eligible Insurance Proceeds.”

other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and

intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the

assigns. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the

and agree that AIG (i) shall be an express third party beneficiary of each Seller’s respective
legal and equitable rights, benefits and remedies hereunder or by reason of this Agreement and (ii)
shall be permitted, without any further action by any Seller, AIG or Purchaser or the execution of
any further instrument, to enforce such rights and benefits and exercise such remedies in such

privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise
thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or
privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any
rights or remedies provided by Law.

not to assert, plead or claim the same;
(iii) agrees that the final judgment of such court shall be enforceable in any court
having jurisdiction over the relevant party or any of its assets;
(iv) irrevocably waives any right to remove any such Action from the Delaware Court of

Section 9.12 Specific Performance. The parties hereby expressly recognize and
acknowledge that immediate, extensive and irreparable damage would result, no adequate remedy at
law would exist and damages would be difficult to determine in the event that any provision of this
Agreement is not performed in accordance with its specific terms or otherwise breached. It is
accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof
and immediate injunctive relief, without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages
as a remedy. Such remedies, and any and all other remedies provided for in this Agreement, shall,
however, be cumulative in nature and not exclusive and shall be in addition to any other remedies
whatsoever which any party may otherwise have. Each of the parties hereby acknowledges and agrees
that it may be difficult to prove damages with reasonable certainty, that it may be difficult to
procure suitable substitute performance, and that injunctive relief and/or specific performance
will not cause an undue hardship to the parties. Each of the parties hereby further acknowledges
that the existence of any other remedy contemplated by this Agreement does not diminish the
availability of specific performance of the obligations hereunder or any other injunctive relief.
Each party hereby further agrees that in the event of any action by the other party for specific
performance or injunctive relief, it will not assert that a remedy at law or other remedy would be
adequate or that specific performance or injunctive relief in respect of such breach or violation
should not be available on the grounds that money damages are adequate or any other grounds.
Section 9.13 Counterparts. This Agreement and each of the other Transaction
Documents may be executed in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties to each such
agreement in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original

executed counterpart of a signature page to any Transaction Documents by facsimile shall be as
effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of any such Agreement.
