1.2 Defined Terms Used in this Agreement. In addition to the terms defined above, the following terms used in this Agreement shall be construed to have the meanings set forth or referenced below.
(a) “Adverse Consequences” means all actual and reasonably anticipated out-of-pocket charges, claims, demands, damages, dues, penalties, fines, amounts paid in settlement, liabilities, taxes, losses, costs, expenses and fees, including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expense.
(b) “Affiliate” means, with respect to any specified Person, any other Person who, directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with such Person, including, without limitation, any general partner, managing member, officer, director or trustee of such Person, or any venture capital fund or registered investment company now or hereafter existing that is controlled by one (1) or more general partners, managing members or investment advisers of, or shares the same management company or investment adviser with, such Person.
(c) “Closing” means the occurrence of the purchase and sale of the Membership Interest on the date of this Agreement, which shall occur contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, by electronic exchange of documents. For the avoidance of doubt, the purchase and sale shall occur on the Closing date but shall have retroactive effect to the Effective Date.
(d) “Knowledge” including the phrase “to the Member’s knowledge” shall mean the actual knowledge after reasonable investigation and assuming such knowledge as the relevant officers would have as a result of the reasonable performance of his or her duties in the ordinary course.
(e) “Liability” or “Liabilities” means any liability or indebtedness of any kind, character or description (whether known or unknown, whether asserted or unasserted, whether absolute or contingent, whether accrued or unaccrued, whether disputed or undisputed, whether secured or unsecured, whether joint or several, whether vested or unvested, whether liquidated or unliquidated, whether due or to become due, or whether executory, determined, determinable, or otherwise) and Federal, state and local taxes.
(f) “Material Adverse Effect” means a material adverse effect on (i) the business, assets (including intangible assets), liabilities, financial condition or results of operations of the Company or the Member, taken as a whole, (ii) or the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or the rights or remedies of the Purchaser or Member, as applicable, hereunder.
(g) “Membership Interest” means the Member’s membership interest in the Company, which amount shall equal 100% of the outstanding membership interest of the Company immediately prior to the Closing.

(i) “Person” means any individual, corporation, partnership, trust, limited liability company, association or other entity.
1.3 Tax Treatment.
(a) The sale and purchase of the Membership Interest shall be treated for federal and applicable state and local income and franchise tax purposes as the sale and purchase of the assets of the Company and no party or any Affiliate thereof shall take any federal, state or local income or franchise tax position inconsistent with such treatment, unless otherwise required by applicable laws.
(b) So long as AIG and Purchaser are members of the same “controlled group” as defined in Code § 267(f), Purchaser (and any subsequent owner of the Membership Interest that is a member of the same controlled group) shall not transfer the Membership Interest to another entity if that transfer would cause AIG’s loss from this transaction to be permanently disallowed under Code § 267(a). For the avoidance of doubt, transfers where AIG’s loss is deferred under Code § 267(f)(2) rather than denied are permitted. The transfer restrictions set forth in this Section 1.3(b) shall survive Closing.
2. Representations and Warranties of the Member. Member hereby represents and warrants to Purchaser, both as of the Effective Date and as of the Closing date, that the following representations are true and complete.

The Company is duly qualified to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify would have a Material Adverse Effect.
2.2 Capitalization. The Company’s Membership Interest is not unitized; rather the Member holds the sole Membership Interest, both of record and beneficially, in the Company. As of the Closing, the Member has good and marketable title to such Membership Interest, free and clear of all security interests, claims, liens, pledges, options, encumbrances, charges, agreements, voting trusts, proxies and other arrangements or restrictions whatsoever (“Encumbrances”) other than as may be applicable pursuant to the Operating Agreement and applicable U.S. federal or state securities laws.

All action on the part of the officers of the Member necessary for the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the performance of all obligations of the Member under this Agreement to be performed as of the Closing, and the transfer and delivery of the Membership Interest has been taken. This Agreement, when executed and delivered by the Member, shall constitute a valid and legally binding obligation of the Member, enforceable against the Member in accordance with its terms except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, or other laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies.

2.6 Governmental Consents and Filings.

There is no claim, action, suit, proceeding, arbitration, complaint, charge or investigation pending or currently threatened (i) against the Company or any officer or director of the Company arising out of their employment or board relationship with the Company; (ii) that questions the validity of this Agreement or the Company’s right to acknowledge, consent to and record on its books and records the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; or (iii) that would reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any of the Company’s officers or directors is a party or is named as subject to the provisions of any order, writ, injunction, judgment or decree of any court or government agency or instrumentality (in the case of officers or directors, such as would affect the Company). There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation by the Company pending or which the Company intends to initiate.

The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not result in any such violation or be in conflict with or constitute, with or without the passage of time and giving of notice, either (i) a default under any such provision, instrument, judgment, order, writ, decree, contract or agreement; or (ii) an event which results in the creation of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any assets of the Company or the suspension, revocation, forfeiture, or nonrenewal of any material permit or license applicable to the Company, which event would have a Material Adverse Effect.
| 2.10 | Agreements; Actions. |
(a) The Company has not sold, exchanged or otherwise disposed of any of the Class B notes identified on Schedule I (the “B-Notes”).
| (b) | The Company is not a guarantor or indemnitor of any indebtedness |
of any other Person.
2.11 Property. The B-Notes are held by the Company free and clear of all mortgages, deeds of trust, liens, loans and encumbrances, except for statutory liens for the payment of current taxes that are not yet delinquent and encumbrances and liens that arise in the ordinary course of business and do not materially impair the Company’s ownership or use of such B-Notes. The Company does not own any real property.
2.12 Taxes. There are no non-income federal taxes or other state, county, local or foreign taxes due and payable by the Company or any subsidiary which have not been timely paid.

There are no liens for taxes upon the assets of the Company or any subsidiary. All taxes which the Company or any subsidiary is required by law to withhold or to collect for payment have been duly withheld and collected and have been paid to the appropriate governmental authority. Neither the Company nor any subsidiary thereof has filed an election under Treas. Reg. § 301.7701-3 to be classified as an association taxable as a corporation and, at all times prior to the date hereof, each has been treated as a “disregarded entity” for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
2.13 Permits. The Company has all franchises, permits, licenses and any similar authority necessary for the conduct of its business, the lack of which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company is not in default in any material respect under any of such franchises, permits, licenses or other similar authority.
2.14 Corporate Documents. The Certificate of Formation and the Operating Agreement are in the form provided to the Purchaser. The Company maintains minutes of all meetings of directors and members and all actions by written consent without a meeting by the directors and members since the date of formation and such records accurately reflect in all material respects all actions by the directors and members.
2.15 Disclosure. The Member has made available to the Purchaser all the information in the possession or control of the Member, the Company or their respective Affiliates that the Purchaser has requested for deciding whether to acquire the Membership Interest. No representation or warranty of the Member contained in this Agreement and no certificate furnished or to be furnished to the Purchaser at the Closing contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made.
