stock exchange, provided that the AIG Transferee agrees in writing to be bound by the same
restrictions of this Section 1.
2. Ownership. During the Period, the AIG Stockholders shall retain all rights of
ownership in the Securities, including, without limitation, voting rights (if any) and the right to
receive any dividends, if any, that may be declared in respect thereof.
1
3. Company and Transfer Agent. The Company is hereby authorized to disclose the
