MANAGEMENT
Section 4.01 Management and Control of the Company.
(a) (i) The Members have established the Company as a “managers-managed” limited liability
company and have agreed to designate a board of managers (the “Board of Managers”) of three Persons
to manage the Company and its business and affairs. Each of the Persons appointed to the Board of Managers
is referred to herein as a “Manager.” The Managers shall be designated solely by a Majority in
Interest of the Common Members. Any Manager may be removed, at any time, by a Majority in Interest of the
Common Members, in their sole discretion.
(ii) The Board of Managers shall be comprised of the individuals set forth on Schedule
IV attached hereto. The Board of Managers shall cause Schedule IV to be updated from
time to time as necessary to reflect any removal and/or the filling of any vacancy. Any revision
to Schedule IV made in accordance with this Section 4.01(a)(ii) shall not be deemed
an amendment to this Agreement. Any reference in this Agreement to Schedule IV shall be
deemed to be a reference to Schedule IV as revised and in effect from time to time.
(iii) The Board of Managers shall have the exclusive right to manage and control the Company,
subject to the Act and any provisions herein requiring the approval of certain Members including
Sections 4.01(d), 4.01(e) and 8.04 hereof. Except as otherwise
specifically provided herein, the Board of Managers shall have the right to perform all actions
necessary, convenient or incidental to the accomplishment of the purposes and authorized acts of
the Company, as specified in Sections 2.05 and 2.06 hereof, and each Manager shall
possess and may enjoy and exercise all of the rights and powers of a “manager” as provided in and
under the Act; and each Manager shall be a “manager” for purposes of the Act; provided,
however, that no individual Manager shall have the authority to act for or bind the Company
without the requisite consent of the Board of Managers.
(iv) Unless expressly provided to the contrary in this Agreement, any action, consent,
approval, election, decision or determination to be made by the Board of Managers under or in
connection with this Agreement (including any act by the Board of Managers within its “discretion”
under this Agreement and the execution and delivery of any
21
documents or agreements on behalf of the
Company), shall be in the sole and absolute discretion of the Board of Managers.
(v) Meetings of the Board of Managers shall be held not less than quarterly. All quarterly
and other meetings of the Board of Managers shall be held in the continental United States or
telephonically. All quarterly and other meetings of the Board of Managers shall be held when
called by any Manager, upon not less than five business days’ advance written notice to the other
Managers and the Observers. Attendance at any meeting of the Board of Managers shall constitute
waiver of notice of such meeting. Additionally, a waiver of such notice in writing signed by any
Manager or Observer entitled to such notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall
be deemed equivalent to the giving of such notice. The quorum for a meeting of the Board of
Managers shall be a majority of the Managers. Managers may participate in any meeting of the Board
of Managers by conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all
persons participating in the meeting can hear each other. All action taken by the Board of
Managers shall be by a vote of a simple majority of the Managers present at a meeting thereof in
person or by telephone. Except as expressly provided in this Section 4.01(a), the Board of
Managers shall conduct its business in such manner and by such procedures as a majority of its members
deem appropriate.
(vi) The Board of Managers may also take action without any meeting of the Managers by written
consent of a simple majority of the Managers setting forth the action to be approved.
(vii) The Board of Managers may create and maintain customary committees, including an
executive committee, an audit committee and a compensation committee.
(viii) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, including, without limitation,
Section 18-1101(c) of the Act, and notwithstanding any provision at law or in equity to the
contrary, in conducting the affairs of the Company, the Managers and the Board of Managers shall
take into account the interests of (and shall owe fiduciary duties, including the duties of care,
loyalty, candor and good faith, to) the Company and shall not owe any fiduciary duties to the
Members directly, to creditors or to any other constituency, provided, however,
that actions pursuant to each of Sections 5.04, 5.06(a), 8.04 and
8.05 hereof shall be excluded from this Section 4.01(a)(viii).
(b) Except as provided in Sections 4.01(d), 4.01(e), 8.04 or
8.05 hereof, no Member, in its capacity as such, shall participate in or have any say or
control whatsoever over the Company Business. Each such Member hereby consents to the exercise by
the Board of Managers of the powers conferred upon the Board of Managers by this Agreement. Except
as provided in Sections 4.01(d), 4.01(e), 8.04 or 8.05 hereof, the
Members, in their capacities as such, shall not participate in the management, direction or
operation of the activities or affairs of the Company and shall not have any authority or right, in
their capacities as Members of the Company, to act for or bind the Company.
(c) The Board of Managers is authorized to appoint any person as an officer of the Company who
shall have such powers, subject to Sections 4.01(d) and 4.01(e) and
22
perform such duties incident to such person’s office as may from time to time be conferred upon or assigned to
it by the Board of Managers and assign in writing titles (including, without limitation, President,
Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer) to any such person. Any appointment pursuant to this
Section 4.01(c) may be revoked at any time by the Board of Managers. In addition, the
Board of Managers is authorized to employ, engage and dismiss, on behalf of the Company, any
Person, including an Affiliate of any Member, to perform services for, or furnish goods to, the
Company. Unless the Board of Managers states otherwise, if the title is one commonly used for
officers of a business corporation formed under the Delaware General Corporation Law, the
assignment of such title shall constitute the delegation to such person of the authorities and
duties that are normally associated with that office. The initial officers of the Company shall be
as follows:
Name | Title | |
Xxxxx Xxxxxx
|
President | |
Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxx
|
Treasurer | |
Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxx

Secretary |

26
set forth in Section 10.01 or any other individual as may be specified by the FRBNY Member as

consent (a “Significant Action Request Notice”), setting forth sufficient detail regarding
the facts and circumstances of such proposed Junior Significant Action or Senior Significant Action

respectively, hereof if the Consent Request Contact has delivered to the Company a copy of the
Significant Action Request Notice with respect to such Junior Significant Action or Senior

or not to grant its consent to any proposed Junior Significant Action or Senior Significant Action
to be made within 30 calendar days after delivery of a conforming Significant Action Request Notice
with respect thereto to the Consent Request Contact, but the failure to act within such time period
shall not in any way affect the FRBNY Member’s rights under Section 4.01(d) or Section
4.01(e) or any party’s other rights or obligations under this Agreement. The parties hereto
agree that any consent granted with respect to any Junior Significant Action or Senior Significant
Action in accordance with this Section 4.01(f) shall be deemed to have been provided for
all other purposes for which the consent of the FRBNY Member may be required with respect to such

Agreement. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, the
rights and obligations of the parties hereto and thereto shall be without prejudice to the rights
and obligations of the FRBNY and AIG under the Credit Agreement.

to the Company, the Members or any of their Affiliates for any act or omission performed or omitted
by any of them in good faith (including, without limitation, any act or omission performed or
omitted by any of them in reliance upon and in accordance with the opinion or advice of experts,
including, without limitation, of legal counsel as to matters of law, of accountants as to matters
of accounting, or of investment bankers or appraisers as to matters of valuation), except (i) for
any act taken by any Manager, Common Member, Preferred Member and each of their respective
Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, shareholders, partners, managers and members and each
officer of the Company (each, an “Indemnified Party”) (each of which shall be a third party
beneficiary of this Agreement for purposes of this Section 4.04) purporting to bind the
Company that has not been authorized pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) any act or omission with
respect to which such Indemnified Party was grossly negligent or engaged in intentional misconduct.
(b) No Indemnified Party acting under this Agreement shall be liable to the Company or to any
Member for its good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement.
Section 4.05 Indemnification.
(a) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the AIG Member shall and does hereby
agree to indemnify and hold harmless and pay all judgments and claims against any Indemnified Party
(each of which shall be a third party beneficiary of this Agreement for purposes of this
Section 4.05), from and against any loss or damage incurred by an Indemnified Party or by
the Company for any act or omission taken or suffered by such Indemnified Party in good faith
(including, without limitation, any act or omission taken or suffered by any of them in reliance
upon and in accordance with the opinion or advice of experts, including, without limitation, of
legal counsel as to matters of law, of accountants as to matters of accounting, or of investment
bankers or appraisers as to matters of valuation) in connection with the Company Business,
including costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and any amount expended in the settlement of any
claims or loss or damage, except with respect to (i) any act taken by such Indemnified Party
purporting to bind the Company that has not been authorized pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) any
act or omission with respect to which such Indemnified Party was grossly negligent or engaged in
intentional misconduct. For purposes of Sections 4.04 and 4.05, the term
“Indemnified Party” shall not include the AIG Member in its capacity as the indemnifying party
pursuant to this Section 4.05.
(b) The satisfaction of any indemnification obligation pursuant to Section 4.05(a)
hereof shall be from and limited to Company assets (including insurance and any
28
agreements pursuant
to which the Company, its Managers, officers or employees are entitled to indemnification) and no
Member, in such capacity, shall be subject to personal liability therefor.
(c) Expenses reasonably incurred by an Indemnified Party in defense or settlement of any claim
that may be subject to a right of indemnification hereunder shall be advanced by the AIG Member
prior to the final disposition thereof upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such
Indemnified Party to repay such amount to the extent that it shall be determined upon final
adjudication after all possible appeals have been exhausted that such Indemnified Party is not
entitled to be indemnified hereunder.
(d) The AIG Member shall purchase and maintain customary director and officer insurance on
behalf of all officers of the Company, Managers and other Indemnified Parties against any liability
which may be asserted against, or expense which may be incurred by, any such Person in connection
with the Company’s activities.
Section 4.06 Notice of Rights. The rights conferred upon the Indemnified Parties in
Sections 4.04 and 4.05 hereof shall be contract rights that vest upon the
occurrence or the alleged occurrence of any act or omission giving rise to any proceeding or
threatened proceeding and such rights shall continue as to an Indemnified Party who has ceased to
be a manager or officer and shall inure to the benefit of the Indemnified Party’s heirs, executors
and administrators. Any amendment, repeal or alteration of Section 4.04 or 4.05
hereof that adversely affects any right of an Indemnified Party or its successors shall be
prospective only and shall not limit or eliminate any such right with respect to any proceeding
involving any occurrence or alleged occurrence of any action or omission to act that took place
prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal.
Section 4.07 Rights to Appoint Board Observers. Prior to the Junior Preferred Payment
and so long as the Consent Holder holds any Junior Preferred Interests, the Consent Holder shall
have the right to appoint two individuals to attend meetings of the Board of Managers (and any
committees thereof); whether such meeting is conducted in person or by teleconference, as
non-voting observers (the “Observers”). The Observers shall be entitled to receive not
less than five business days’ advance written notice of all such meetings of the Board of Managers
(and any committees thereof) and to obtain copies of all materials provided to the Board of
Managers (and any committees thereof); provided, however, that such Observers will
be asked to leave all or a portion of a meeting of the Board of Managers if attendance at such
meeting or portion thereof would in the reasonable judgment of the Company’s counsel, adversely
affect the attorney-client privilege between the Company and its counsel. The Company shall pay
all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by each such Observer in connection with attending
regular and special meetings of the Board of Managers (and any committees thereof).
Section 4.08 Compliance with Laws. The Company shall, and shall cause its
Subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain a written program approved by the
chief compliance officer of AIG and which is reasonably designed to ensure compliance with
applicable Laws which is at least as effective as the legal compliance program currently
maintained by the AIG Member and which otherwise conforms to the maximum extent practicable with
best practices within the global insurance industry. Any such program will conform to all current
and future AIG compliance, human resource, information technology, legal, audit and other existing
or future programs, policies and/or procedures.

any distributions pursuant to this Section 5.02 or otherwise.

with their Senior Preferred Units, until they have received in the aggregate pursuant to prior

amount equal to the sum of the Senior Preferred Return for the then current quarter and the Senior
Liquidation Preference;
(b) second, one hundred percent (100%) to the Junior Preferred Members, pro rata in accordance
with their Junior Preferred Units, until they have received in the aggregate pursuant to prior

Members or any of their Affiliates Control (or have the right to obtain Control of) the Company or
the AIG Member, the Company shall not be required to distribute any Net Proceeds of such Qualifying

Event shall not have been required by applicable Law where the Company or the relevant Subsidiary
has more than one option not prohibited under this Agreement or by applicable Law (at least one of
which is within the control of the Company or the relevant Subsidiary, as applicable) for complying
with a requirement under applicable Law
31
(e.g., a requirement to increase capital) and has made a

ACCOUNTING AND TAX MATTERS
ACCOUNTING AND TAX MATTERS
Section 7.01 Books and Records; Reports. At all times during the existence of the
Company, the Company shall maintain, at its principal place of business, separate books of account
for the Company. Subject to reasonable confidentiality restrictions established by the Board of
Managers (including as set forth in Section 18-305(c) of the Act), each Member and its respective
agents and representatives shall be afforded access to the Company’s books and records applicable
to such Member for any proper purpose (as determined by the Board of
Managers in its reasonable discretion), at any reasonable time during regular business hours
upon reasonable written notice to the Board of Managers.
Section 7.02 Tax Returns. The Board of Managers, at the expense of the Company, shall
endeavor to cause the preparation and timely filing (including extensions) of all tax returns
required to be filed by the Company pursuant to the Code or any other applicable Law.
Section 7.03 Election to Be Treated as a Corporation. The Members agree that, in
order to ensure compliance with Treas. Reg. § 301.7701-3(c), each officer of the Company is
authorized under this Agreement to take all requisite actions to file an election to treat the
Company as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Such actions will include the
timely filing by such an authorized officer of a Form 8832, Entity Classification Election (the
“Form 8832”), in the manner prescribed by such form. In the event any Member of the
32
Company as of
a date on or after the effective date of such election is no longer a member of the Company on the
date the Form 8832 is filed with the Internal Revenue Service, such Member agrees to sign the Form
8832 in order to ensure compliance with Treas. Reg. § 301.7701-3(c)(2)(ii).
Section 7.04 Tax Treatment of the Transactions.
(a) All capitalized terms in this Section 7.04 not defined in this Agreement shall
have the definitions assigned to them in the Purchase Agreement. It is the intention of the
parties that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (1) the transfer by AIG of the equity of ALICO
to the Company in return for the Preferred Units shall be treated as occurring when the Company is
disregarded under Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-2(c)(2) as a separate entity from AIG; (2)
as a result, such transfer shall be disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes; (3) the
election under Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-3(c) to treat the Company as a corporation
shall be treated as a fully taxable transfer by AIG of the equity of ALICO to the Company in return
for all the Units at the time the election is effective; (4) the Senior Preferred Units shall be
treated as nonvoting stock in the Company; (5) the Junior Preferred Units shall be treated as stock
in the Company not described in Code Section 1504(a)(4), and, as a result, AIG and the Company
shall not be members of an affiliated group within the meaning of Code Section 1504(a); (6) the
Purchase Agreement shall constitute a binding contract in effect immediately before the election
described in clause (3) hereof is effective pursuant to which the sale described in clause (7)
shall occur; (7) the sale of the Preferred Units to the FRBNY in return for the Consideration shall
be respected in accordance with its form; and (8) full force and effect shall be accorded to any
election made pursuant to Section 7.04(b). The terms of this Agreement and the Purchase
Agreement shall be interpreted consistently with this intention, and the parties hereto agree not
to take any position for U.S. federal income tax purposes (in a filing or otherwise) contrary to
this intention.
(b) Unless AIG obtains the FRBNY Member’s consent not to make such an election (which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld), (1) the Company and AIG shall jointly make an election under
Code Section 338(h)(10) in respect of the transfer described in
Section 7.04(a) (3), and (2) the Company shall make an election under Sections 338(g)
or 338(h)(10) of the Code in respect of the deemed sale (resulting from such election under Code
Section 338(h)(10)) of the stock of any one or more of the direct or indirect subsidiaries of ALICO
designated by AIG.
Section 7.05 Confidentiality; Access to Information.
(a) Each Preferred Member (other than the FRBNY which is bound by that certain Nondisclosure
Agreement by and among AIG and the FRBNY and dated as of September 25, 2008 (the “Nondisclosure
Agreement”) or any Permitted Transferee of the FRBNY and any Observers who executed a joinder
to the Nondisclosure Agreement or who are otherwise bound thereto), and any Observer not otherwise
bound by the Nondisclosure Agreement, agrees to keep confidential, and not to disclose to any
Person, any matter relating to the Company or any of its Affiliates, or their respective affairs
(other than disclosure to such Preferred Member’s advisors responsible for matters relating to the
Company and who reasonably need to know such information in order to perform such responsibilities
(each such Person being hereinafter referred
33
to as an “Authorized Representative”));
provided, however, that such Preferred Member or any of its Authorized
Representatives may make such disclosure, subject to applicable Law, to the extent that (i) the
information being disclosed is in connection with such Preferred Member’s tax returns or concerns
the tax structure or tax treatment of the Company or its transactions, (ii) such disclosure is to
any officer, director, shareholder or partner of such Preferred Member, (iii) the information being
disclosed is otherwise generally available to the public, (iv) such disclosure is requested by any
governmental body, agency, official or authority having jurisdiction over such Preferred Member,
(v) such disclosure, based upon the advice of legal counsel of such Preferred Member or Authorized
Representative, is otherwise required by applicable Law or statute or (vi) such disclosure is made
to any Permitted Transferee or Third Party in connection with any proposed Transfer of Securities,
which Permitted Transferee or Third Party is subject to a confidentiality agreement for the benefit
of the Company with terms no less protective than this Section 7.05(a). Prior to making
any disclosure described in clause (iv) or (v) of this Section 7.05(a), a Preferred Member
(other than the FRBNY or any Permitted Transferee thereof) shall notify the Board of Managers of
such disclosure and of such advice of counsel. Each Preferred Member (other than the FRBNY or any
Permitted Transferee thereof) shall use all reasonable efforts to cause each of its Authorized
Representatives to comply with the obligations of such Preferred Member under this Section
7.05(a). In connection with any disclosure described in clause (iv) or (v) above, the
disclosing Preferred Member shall cooperate with the Company in seeking any protective order or
other appropriate arrangement as the Board of Managers may request.
(b) Each of the AIG Member and the Company hereby agrees to provide, or cause to be provided,
to the Comptroller General of the United States (the “Comptroller General”), upon request,
access to information, data, schedules, books, accounts, financial records, reports, files,
electronic communications, or other papers, things or property that relate to assistance provided
by the FRBNY pursuant to any action taken by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
(the “Board of Governors”) under section 13(3) of the Federal
Reserve Act (12 U.S.C. § 343), to the extent required by, and in accordance with the
provisions of, 31 U.S.C. § 714(d)(3) (as added by section 801 of the Helping Families Save Their
Homes Act of 2009, Pub. L. No. 111-22 (the “Helping Families Act”)). The parties hereby
acknowledge that the Helping Families Act provides that, subject to certain exceptions enumerated
in 31 U.S.C. § 714(c)(4) (as amended), an officer or an employee of the U.S. Government
Accountability Office (the “GAO”) (including the Comptroller General) may not disclose to
any person outside the GAO information obtained in audits or examinations conducted under 31 U.S.C.
§ 714(e) (as amended) and maintained as confidential by the Board of Governors or a Federal Reserve
bank (including the FRBNY).
ARTICLE VIII
TRANSFERS AND OTHER LIQUIDITY RIGHTS
TRANSFERS AND OTHER LIQUIDITY RIGHTS
Section 8.01 Transfer in General.
(a) Subject to any restrictions on transferability by operation of Law or contained elsewhere
in this Agreement (including Section 4.01(d) hereof) and any other requirement of
applicable Law imposed on the Company or the Members or in accordance with Section 11.14,
(i) the Preferred Members may freely Transfer their Preferred Units to any Person
34
and (ii) no
Common Member shall Transfer any portion of its Interest or its Units, directly or indirectly, to
any Person other than a Permitted Transferee, without the prior written consent of each of (A) the
Board of Managers and (B) prior to the Junior Preferred Payment, a Majority in Interest of the
Junior Preferred Members. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary but subject to the
provisions of this Article VIII, following the Junior Preferred Payment, the Common Members
may freely transfer their Common Units to any Person. For the avoidance of doubt, the Junior
Preferred Units and the Senior Preferred Units do not need to be transferred together and may be
transferred in separate transactions.
(b) A permitted Transfer of Units pursuant to Section 8.01(a) hereof shall be
effective as of the date of (i) compliance with the conditions to such transfer referred to in this
Section 8.01 and (ii) admission of the Substituted Member pursuant to Section 8.02
hereof. Distributions made before the effective date of such Transfer shall be paid to the
transferor, and distributions made after such date shall be paid to the transferee.
(c) Any Member who effectively transfers any Units pursuant to this Article VIII shall
cease to be a Member with respect to such Units and shall no longer have any rights or privileges
of a Member with respect to such Units (it being understood, however, that the applicable
provisions of Sections 4.04, 4.05 and 7.01 hereof shall continue to inure
to such Person’s benefit). Nothing contained herein shall relieve any Member who Transfers any
Units or other interest in the Company from any liability or obligation of such Member to the
Company or the other Members with respect to such Units that may exist on the date of such Transfer
or that is otherwise specified in the Delaware Act and incorporated into this Agreement or for any
liability to the Company or any other Person for any breaches of any representations,
warranties or covenants by such Member (in its capacity as such) contained herein or in other
agreements with the Company.
(d) In addition to any other restrictions on Transfer imposed by this Agreement, no Member may
Transfer any Unit (except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act
or Section 8.05) without first delivering to the Board of Managers, if requested, an
opinion of counsel (reasonably acceptable in form and substance to the Board of Managers) that
neither registration nor qualification under the Securities Act or applicable state securities Laws
is required in connection with such Transfer. The Board of Managers may waive such opinion
requirement on advice of counsel acceptable to the Board of Managers.
Section 8.02 Admission of Members. A Person shall be admitted to the Company (without
requiring any consent of the Board of Managers or of the Members pursuant to Section 11.02
hereof) in connection with the transfer of any Units to such Person as permitted under the terms of
this Agreement (a “Substituted Member”), or in connection with the issuance of new Units by
the Company to an Additional Member by accepting and agreeing to be bound by all of the terms and
conditions hereof by executing a counterpart to this Agreement and (excluding AIG and the FRBNY)
entering into a joinder agreement in the form of Schedule VI attached hereto.
Section 8.03 Transfers in Violation of Agreement. Any Transfer or attempted Transfer
in violation of this Article VIII shall be void, and the Company shall not record such
purported
35
Transfer on its books or treat any purported transferee as the owner of any Units subject
to such purported Transfer.
Section 8.04 Demand Liquidity Event.
(a) Prior to the Junior Preferred Payment, (A) with respect to the FRBNY Member, for as long
as the FRBNY Member owns any Junior Preferred Units, the FRBNY Member shall, at any time (i) during
the Initial Period, upon prior consultation with, and during the 12-month period following the date
of this Agreement the prior concurrence of, the AIG Credit Facility Trust, be entitled to make an
IPO Demand and (ii) following the Initial Period, in its sole discretion, be entitled to make an
IPO Demand; and (B) with respect to the Majority Junior Preferred Members, (i) during the Initial
Period, will not be entitled to make an IPO Demand, and (ii) following the Initial Period, shall,
in their sole discretion, be entitled to make an IPO Demand (each of the FRBNY Member with respect
to Section 8.04(a)(A) and the Majority Junior Preferred Members with respect to Section
8.04(a)(B), an “IPO Demanding Member”). An “IPO Demand” means that the IPO
Demanding Member may require the Company to use its best efforts to effect an Initial Public
Offering of the Company (or its successor corporation) pursuant to Section 11.14. In
connection with any such Initial Public Offering, the Company shall not be required to distribute
any proceeds of such Initial Public Offering.
(b) Prior to the Junior Preferred Payment, (A) with respect to the FRBNY Member, for as long
as the FRBNY Member owns any Junior Preferred Units, the FRBNY Member shall, at any time (i) during
the Initial Period, upon prior consultation with, and during the 12-month period following the date
of this Agreement the prior concurrence of, the AIG Credit Facility Trust, be entitled to make a
Sale of the Company Demand and (ii) following the Initial Period, in its sole discretion, be
entitled to make a Sale of the Company Demand; and (B) with respect to the Majority Junior
Preferred Members, (i) during the Initial Period, will not be entitled to make a Sale of the
Company Demand, and (ii) following the Initial Period, shall, in their sole discretion, be entitled
to make a Sale of the Company Demand (each of the FRBNY Member with respect to Section
8.04(b)(A) and the Majority Junior Preferred Members with respect to Section
8.04(b)(B), a “Sale Demanding Member”). A “Sale of the Company Demand” means
that the Sale Demanding Member may require the Company to use its best efforts to effect a sale of
all of the Interests or other outstanding Equity Securities then held by the Members;
provided, however, that the proceeds from such sale shall be allocated among the
Members in the manner that such proceeds would have been distributed by the Company in accordance
with Section 5.03 hereof and any such proceeds allocated to the Junior Preferred Members
and Senior Preferred Members shall reduce the Junior Liquidation Preference and the Senior
Liquidation Preference, respectively, in the amount so allocated. In connection with any sale of
all of the Interests or other outstanding Equity Securities then held by the Members, the Sale
Demanding Member may require the Board of Managers and/or the other Members to take any of the
actions that may be required by or on behalf of the Company or any such Member in connection with a
Drag-Along Transfer pursuant to Section 8.05 hereof.
Section 8.05 Drag-Along.
36
(a) At any time prior to the Junior Preferred Payment, (A) with respect to the FRBNY Member,
for as long as the FRBNY Member owns any Junior Preferred Units, the FRBNY Member shall, at any
time (i) during the Initial Period, upon prior consultation with, and during the 12-month period
following the date of this Agreement the prior concurrence of, the AIG Credit Facility Trust, be
entitled to make a Drag-Along Demand and (ii) following the Initial Period, in its sole discretion,
be entitled to make a Drag-Along Demand and (B) with respect to the Majority Junior Preferred
Members, (i) during the Initial Period, will not be entitled to make a Drag-Along Demand and (ii)
following the Initial Period, shall, in their sole discretion, be entitled to make a Drag-Along
Demand (each of the FRBNY Member with respect to Section 8.05(a)(A) and the Majority Junior
Preferred Members with respect to Section 8.05(a)(B), a “Selling Member”). A
“Drag-Along Demand” means that if the Selling Member agrees to effect a Drag-Along Sale (in
any single or series of related transactions) to a non-affiliated Third Party (the “Drag-Along
Buyer”), the Selling Member may at any time, pursuant to a Transfer or otherwise (a
“Drag-Along Transfer”), exercise drag-along rights in accordance with the terms, conditions
and procedures set forth herein.
(b) The Selling Member shall promptly give notice (a “Drag-Along Notice”) to each of
the other Members (the “Drag-Along Members”) not later than 30 days prior to the
consummation of the Drag-Along Transfer of any election by the Selling Member to exercise
their drag-along rights under this Section 8.05, setting forth the name and address of
the Drag-Along Buyer, the proposed amount and form of consideration for the Units, and all other
material terms and conditions of the Drag-Along Transfer. Any Drag-Along Transfer shall be at the
same purchase price as specified in the Drag-Along Notice and all Members shall receive the same
form of consideration in connection with a Drag-Along Transfer and as set forth in Section
8.05(c) hereof.
(c) The proceeds from the sale of any Drag-Along Transfer shall be allocated to the Members in
the manner that such proceeds would have been distributed by the Company in accordance with
Section 5.03 hereof and such proceeds distributed to the Junior Preferred Members and
Senior Preferred Members shall reduce the Junior Liquidation Preference and the Senior Liquidation
Preference, respectively, in the amount so distributed.
(d) Each Drag-Along Member must agree (i) to make the same representations, warranties,
covenants, indemnities and agreements as made by the Selling Member in connection with the
Drag-Along Transfer (other than any non-competition or similar agreements or covenants that would
bind the Drag-Along Member or its Affiliates), and (ii) to the same terms and conditions to the
transfer as the Selling Member agrees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, all such
representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements shall be made by the Selling
Member and Drag-Along Members severally and not jointly and any liability for breach of any such
representations and warranties related to the Company shall be allocated among the Selling Member
and Drag-Along Members based on the proportion of the consideration received by the Selling Member
and Drag-Along Members, and the aggregate amount of liability for the Selling Member and Drag-Along
Members shall not exceed the U.S. dollar value of the total consideration to be paid by the
Drag-Along Buyer to the Selling Member or Drag-Along Members, respectively.
37
(e) All reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Members or the Company in connection
with any proposed Drag-Along Transfer (whether or not consummated), including all attorneys’ fees
and charges, all accounting fees and charges and all finders, brokerage or investment banking fees,
charges or commissions, shall be paid by the Company.
(f) The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, take all necessary action in
connection with the consummation of any Drag-Along Transfer, including providing access to the
documents, records and senior management of the Company and its Subsidiaries, entering into an
agreement reflecting the terms of the Drag-Along Transfer and executing and delivering any
documents reasonably requested by the Drag-Along Buyer and the Selling Member and their respective
counsel as reasonably necessary to cause the Company to consummate such Drag-Along Transfer.
Section 8.06 Participation Redemption. At any time following the Junior Preferred
Payment, the Company may redeem (the “Participation Redemption”) the Preferred
Participating Return by (i) following an Initial Public Offering, providing the Junior Preferred
Members with a redemption notice indicating the Participating Fair Market Value and the proposed
closing date
of the Participation Redemption (which shall be no earlier than five business days from the
date of the redemption notice) and, upon the closing of the Participation Redemption, distributing
to the Junior Preferred Members, pro rata in accordance with their Preferred Units, an amount equal
to the Participating Fair Market Value; and (ii) prior to an Initial Public Offering, providing the
Junior Preferred Members with a redemption notice (the “Redemption Notice”) indicating the
Board of Managers’ good faith determination of the Participating Fair Market Value and the proposed
closing date of the Participation Redemption (which shall be no earlier than five business days
from the date of the redemption notice) and, subject to the right of a Majority in Interest of the
Junior Preferred Members to contest such good faith determination as described below, upon the
closing of the Participation Redemption on the date specified in the Redemption Notice,
distributing to the Junior Preferred Members, pro rata in accordance with their Junior Preferred
Units, an amount equal to the Participating Fair Market Value; provided, however,
should a Majority in Interest of the Junior Preferred Members contest in good faith the Board of
Managers’ determination of the Participation Fair Market Value by providing the Company with notice
of contest within ten days of the Redemption Notice, that the final determination of the
Participation Fair Market Value shall be made by an investment banking firm of national standing
designated by mutual agreement of the Company and the contesting Junior Preferred Members, which
determination shall be final and binding on the Members and the Company. The fees and expenses of
such investment banking firm shall be borne by the Company.
Section 8.07 Public Offerings. Until the Junior Preferred Payment shall have
occurred, a Majority in Interest of the Junior Preferred Members shall have the right to appoint
one of the global coordinators (who shall also serve as lead book-running managers) (the
“Global Coordinators”) for each Public Offering occurring prior thereto, and the AIG Member
shall have the right to appoint one of the Global Coordinators, and after prior consultations with
the Preferred Members, any additional Global Coordinators and book runners for each such Public
Offering. The additional book runners, if any, shall report to the Global Coordinators who shall
be responsible on a joint basis for overseeing the book runners and determining their compensation
and allocations and all other important matters for which lead underwriters are customarily
responsible in public offerings of securities of this type.

GENERAL PROVISIONS
GENERAL PROVISIONS
Section 11.01 Governing Law. This Agreement, or with respect to any claim or cause of
action (whether in contract or tort) that may arise out of or relate to this Agreement or the
negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any representation or warranty
made in connection with or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement), shall be construed by,
subject to and governed in accordance with the internal Laws of the State of Delaware without
giving effect to conflict of Laws or other principles which may result in the application of Laws
other than the internal Laws of the State of Delaware.
Section 11.02 Amendments by the Members. This Agreement and the Certificate may be
modified, amended or waived from time to time as determined and agreed by (i) a Majority in
Interest of the Common Members, (ii) a Majority in Interest of the Senior Preferred Members and
(iii) a Majority in Interest of the Junior Preferred Members; provided, however,
that no amendment that has a material and adverse and disproportionate effect on any Member as
41
compared to the other Members holding the same class of Securities shall be approved without the
consent of such Member.
Section 11.03 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each one
of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same
Agreement.
Section 11.04 Construction; Headings. Whenever the feminine, masculine, neuter,
singular or plural shall be used in this Agreement, such construction shall be given to such words
or phrases as shall impart to this Agreement a construction consistent with the interest of the
Members entering into this Agreement. Where used herein, the term “Federal” shall refer to the
U.S. Federal government. As used herein, “including” or include” shall mean “including without
limitation.” The headings and captions herein are inserted for convenience of reference only and
are not intended to govern, limit or aid in the construction of any term or provision hereof. It
is the intention of the parties that every covenant, term, and provision of this Agreement shall be
construed simply according to its fair meaning and not strictly for or against any party
(notwithstanding any rule of law requiring an Agreement to be strictly construed against the
drafting party), it being understood that the parties to this Agreement are sophisticated and have
had adequate opportunity and means to retain counsel to represent their interests and to otherwise
negotiate the provisions of this Agreement. To the extent that any ambiguity or inconsistency
arises with respect to any provision(s) of this Agreement (other than any provision(s) relating to
the Preferred Interests or any rights or obligations of any Preferred Member, including the FRBNY
Member), the Board of Managers shall resolve such ambiguity or inconsistency in good faith and such
resolution shall be binding upon the Members.
Section 11.05 Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement or the
application thereof to any Person or circumstances shall be held invalid or unenforceable, the
remaining terms and provisions hereof and the application of such term or provision to Persons or
circumstances other than those to which it is held invalid or unenforceable shall not be affected
thereby.
Section 11.06 Relations with Members. Unless named in this Agreement as a Member, or
unless admitted to the Company as a Substituted Member or an Additional Member as provided in this
Agreement, no Person shall be considered a Member. Subject to Article VIII hereof, the
Company and the Board of Managers need deal only with Persons so named or admitted as Members.
Section 11.07 Waiver of Action for Partition. Each of the Members irrevocably waives
during the term of the Company any right that such Member may have to maintain an action for
partition with respect to the property of the Company.
Section 11.08 Successors and Assigns. All of the terms and provisions of this
Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon each of the parties hereto and their
respective Permitted Transferees and, in the case of any FRBNY Member (other than rights which
inure solely to the benefit of the Consent Holder and therefore shall not be transferable other
than to a Permitted Transferee), any other transferee of the Preferred Units, if any;
42
provided, however, that no Transfer of the Interest of any Member shall be
made except in accordance with the provisions of Article VIII hereof.
Section 11.09 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Schedules hereto) and
the other Transaction Documents constitute the entire agreement among the Members and the Company
or any Subsidiary with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede any agreement
or understanding entered into as of a date prior to the date hereof among or between them with
respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.
Section 11.10 No Third Party Beneficiaries. It is understood and agreed among the
parties that this Agreement and the covenants made herein are made expressly and solely for the
benefit of the parties hereto, and that no other Person, other than an Indemnified Party pursuant
to Sections 4.04 and 4.05 hereof, shall be entitled or be deemed to be entitled to
any benefits or rights hereunder, nor be authorized or entitled to enforce any rights, claims or
remedies hereunder or by reason hereof.
Section 11.11 Other Instruments and Acts. The Members agree to execute any other
instruments or perform any other acts that are or may be necessary to effectuate and carry on the
Company created by this Agreement.
Section 11.12 Remedies and Waivers. No delay or omission on the part of any party to
this Agreement in exercising any right, power or remedy provided by applicable Law or provided
hereunder shall impair such right, power or remedy or operate as a waiver thereof. The single or
partial exercise of any right, power or remedy provided by applicable Law or provided hereunder
shall not preclude any other or further exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The rights,
powers and remedies provided hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights, powers
and remedies provided by applicable Law.
Section 11.13 Public Announcements. No Member will issue any public announcements or
disseminate any advertising or marketing material concerning the existence or terms of this
Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior written approval of each of the
AIG Member and the FRBNY Member, except to the extent such announcement is required by applicable
Law. If a public announcement is required by applicable Law, the Members will consult with each
other before making the public announcement. To the extent any announcement or any advertising or
marketing material permitted under this Section 11.13 expressly refers to any Member or its
Affiliates, such Member shall, in its sole discretion, have the right to revise such announcement
or advertising or marketing material prior to granting such written approval.
Section 11.14 Initial Public Offering.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein but subject to Section
4.01(d), in connection with any Initial Public Offering approved in accordance with this
Agreement, the Members hereby agree to discuss in good faith whether any of the rights and
obligations of the parties hereto and the Company under this Agreement should be amended,
restructured or terminated, including, without limitation, whether any of the rights set forth in
Section 4.01(d) or 8.04 hereof should be terminated or made subject to any time
limitations, in
43
order to permit the Initial Public Offering to be effected in a manner consistent
with applicable Law, market custom and the recommendations of the Global Coordinators in light of
market conditions at such time and the listing requirements of the exchange or market on which the
Initial Public Offering is to be effected, taking into account, among other things, the rights of
the Preferred Members hereunder and their goal and expectation that the Senior Preferred Redemption
and the Junior Preferred Payment be effected as promptly as practicable after the date hereof;
provided, however, that this sentence shall not in any way either (x) obligate any
of the Members or the Company to agree to any amendment, restructuring or termination of any such
rights or (y) affect or nullify any rights or obligations of the Members or the Company under this
Agreement.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein but subject to Section
4.01(d), in connection with any Initial Public Offering of the Company (or its successor
corporation) or any newly formed corporation as described below, approved in accordance with this
Agreement, and upon the request of the Board of Managers, each of the Members hereby agrees that it
will, at the expense of the Entity subject to such Public Offering, take such action and execute
such documents as may reasonably be necessary to effect such Public Offering as expeditiously as
possible, including, without limitation, taking all such actions and executing such documents as
may reasonably be necessary to convert the Company into a corporation or to contribute its
respective Securities to a newly formed corporation, in each case substantially concurrently with
the closing of such Public Offering; provided, however, that in connection with any
such conversion or contribution (i) each Preferred Member shall be entitled to receive preferred
stock of the corporation whose shares of common stock are being sold in connection with such Public
Offering with the same economic rights as such Preferred Member was entitled to prior to such
conversion or contribution, including with an aggregate liquidation preference equal to the amount
such Preferred Member would be entitled to receive, in respect of the Preferred Units which such
Preferred Member held in the Company immediately prior to such conversion or contribution, under
Section 5.03 hereof if a liquidation of the Company had occurred immediately prior to the
consummation of such Public Offering with the proceeds in such liquidation equal in amount to the
implied aggregate equity valuation of the Company (as reasonably determined by the Board of
Managers in good faith with the reasonable agreement of a Majority in Interest of the Preferred
Members) immediately prior to the consummation of such Public Offering; (ii) the Common Members
shall be entitled to receive that value of common stock of the corporation whose shares of common
stock are being sold in connection with such Public Offering as equals the amount such Common
Member would be entitled to receive, relative to the Common Units which such Member held in the
Company immediately prior to such conversion or contribution, under Section 5.03 hereof if
a liquidation of the Company had occurred immediately prior to the consummation of such Public
Offering with the proceeds in such liquidation equal in amount to the implied aggregate equity
valuation of the Company (as reasonably determined by the Board of Managers in good faith with the
reasonable agreement of a Majority in Interest of the Preferred Members) immediately prior to the
consummation of such
Public Offering; and (iii) each of the parties hereto and the Entity whose Securities will be
the subject of such Initial Public Offering shall enter into, as a condition thereto, a
shareholders agreement on substantially the same terms and conditions, mutatis mutandis, as set
forth herein; provided further that, in connection with any such conversion or
contribution, at any time and from time to time following the expiration of any lock-up period for
an Initial Public Offering agreed to between the Preferred Members and the underwriters of any
Initial Public Offering (but
44
in no event more than 180 days after the consummation thereof), (A)
with respect to the FRBNY Member, for as long as the FRBNY Member owns any Preferred Units, the
FRBNY Member shall, at any time (i) during the Initial Period, upon prior consultation with, and
during the 12-month period following the date of this Agreement the prior concurrence of, the AIG
Credit Facility Trust, be entitled to make a Conversion Demand and (ii) following the Initial
Period, in its sole discretion, be entitled to make a Conversion Demand; and (B) with respect to
the Majority Preferred Members, (i) during the Initial Period, will not be entitled to make a
Conversion Demand, and (ii) following the Initial Period, shall, in their sole discretion, be
entitled to make a Conversion Demand (each of the FRBNY Member with respect to clause (A) of this
proviso and the Majority Preferred Members with respect to clause (B) of this proviso, a
“Conversion Demanding Member”). For purposes of this Section 11.14(b), a
“Conversion Demand” means the Conversion Demanding Member may demand that any shares of
preferred stock issued to the Conversion Demanding Member shall convert, in whole or in part, to
shares of common stock of the Entity subject to such Public Offering with a Trading Value that is
equal to the then current liquidation preference on such preferred stock up to a maximum number of
shares of common stock of the Entity subject to such Public Offering as are authorized but not
outstanding at the time of such conversion; provided further that any such
conversion into shares of common stock shall occur concurrently with and as a condition precedent
to the closing of a sale by the Conversion Demanding Member of such shares of common stock (which
sale would be subject to any restrictions or lock-up periods they may be subject to at such time or
otherwise having been agreed to by the Preferred Members pursuant to this Section 11.14 or
otherwise). In connection with any such conversion of the Company into a corporation or
contribution of the Securities to a newly formed corporation, the Company and the Preferred Members
will jointly determine a sufficient (but fixed) number of shares of common stock to be authorized
by such new or successor Entity that will be subject to such Public Offering at the time of
formation under its certificate of incorporation or comparable organizational documents as is
reasonably sufficient to permit the conversion of the preferred stock into shares of common stock
of such Entity as will reasonably be necessary to satisfy the liquidation preference of such
preferred stock.
(c) Without limitation of the provisions of Sections 11.14(a) and 11.14(b),
(A) the Members agree to enter into customary lock-up agreements with the underwriters of any
Initial Public Offering and a registration rights agreement to be mutually agreed,
provided, however, that no such lock-up agreement or registration rights agreement
shall provide for any Preferred Member to be bound by any lock-up period exceeding 180 days and (B)
in connection with any Public Offering, the Company shall take all necessary actions as
expeditiously as possible to effect the registration of any Securities to be offered in any Public
Offering under the Securities Act and/or otherwise comply with all requirements of the securities
Laws of the
jurisdiction(s) governing any Public Offering and any applicable listing standards of any
stock exchange or quotation system upon which such Securities are to be listed or quoted.
Section 11.15 Consent to Jurisdiction and Service of Process. The Members hereby
consent to the jurisdiction of any state or federal court located within the area encompassed by
the State of Delaware and irrevocably agree that all actions or proceedings arising out of or
relating to this Agreement shall be litigated in such courts. Each of the Members accepts for
itself and in connection with its respective properties, generally and unconditionally, the
exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the aforesaid courts and waives any defense of forum non
45
conveniens, and irrevocably agrees to be bound by any final, nonappealable judgment rendered
thereby in connection with this agreement.
Section 11.16 Waiver of Jury Trial. The Members waive their respective rights to a
jury trial of any claim or cause of action based upon or arising out of this Agreement or any
dealings between them relating to the subject matter of this Agreement and the relationship that is
being established. The Members also waive any bond or surety or security upon such bond which
might, but for this waiver, be required of any of the other parties. The scope of this waiver is
intended to be all-encompassing of any and all disputes that may be filed in any court and that
relate to the subject matter of this Agreement, including, without limitation, contract claims,
tort claims, breach of duty claims, and all other common law and statutory claims. The Members
acknowledge that this waiver is a material inducement to enter into a business relationship, that
each has already relied on the waiver in entering into this Agreement and that each will continue
to rely on the waiver in their related future dealings. The Members further warrant and represent
that each Member has reviewed this waiver with its legal counsel, and that each Member knowingly
and voluntarily waives its jury trial rights following consultation with legal counsel. This
waiver is irrevocable, meaning that it may not be modified either orally or in writing, and the
waiver shall apply to any subsequent amendments, renewals, supplements or modifications to this
Agreement or to any other documents or agreements relating to the transaction completed hereby. In
the event of litigation, this Agreement may be filed as a written consent to a trial by the court.
Section 11.17 Fees and Expenses. The AIG Member will bear and pay all reasonable
costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of the FRBNY in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, including the reasonable fees and expenses of its financial or
other consultants, investment bankers, accountants and counsel, in accordance with Section 8.05 of
the Credit Agreement.
Section 11.18 Regulated Insurance Companies. Each of the Members and the Company
acknowledges that the Insurance Subsidiaries are regulated Entities whose businesses are subject to
laws, regulations, directives or orders issued from time to time by the relevant regulators and no
term or condition of this Agreement shall be interpreted in any manner that would require any
Member or the Company to take any action (or cause such action to be taken) that would violate such
Laws, regulations, directives or orders.
