WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, Seller intends to sell to
Buyer all of the Preferred Units (the “Purchased Securities”) in consideration for Buyer’s

Credit Agreement dated as of September 22, 2008 between Parent and Buyer, as amended from time to
time (the “Credit Agreement”); and
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, and of the representations, warranties,

Sections 2.2(f) through 2.2(z) (which shall each be read, for purposes of this Section

covenants required to be performed by each of them under this Agreement at or prior to the Closing;
3

1.3 Interpretation. When a reference is made in this Agreement to “Recitals,” “Articles,”
“Sections,” or “Annexes” such reference shall be to a Recital, Article or Section of, or Annex to,
this Agreement, including any Section of the Disclosure Letter. The terms defined in the singular
have a comparable meaning when used in the plural, and vice versa. References to “herein”,
“hereof”, “hereunder” and the like refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular
section or provision, unless expressly stated otherwise herein. The table of contents and headings
contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and are not part of this Agreement.
Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be
deemed followed by the words “without limitation.” No rule of construction against the
draftsperson shall be applied in connection with the interpretation or enforcement of this
Agreement, as this Agreement is the product of negotiation between sophisticated parties advised by
counsel. All references to “$” or “dollars” mean the lawful currency of the United States of
America and any “$” or “dollar” amounts referred to in Articles 2 or 3 shall be calculated based on
the exchange rate as of March 31, 2009. Except as expressly stated in this Agreement, all
references to any statute, rule or regulation are to the statute, rule or regulation as amended,
modified, supplemented or replaced from time to time (and, in the case of statutes, include any
rules and regulations promulgated under the statute) and to any section of any statute, rule or
regulation include any successor to the section. References to a “business day” shall mean any day
except Saturday, Sunday and any day on which commercial banking institutions in the State of New
York or Hong Kong generally are authorized or required by Law or other governmental actions to
close.

results of operation or financial condition of the Company, HK Co, AIA and PhilAm and their

only modify such section and any other section or subsection that expressly incorporates
Section 2.2(m) of the Disclosure Letter by reference), disclosure of any item in any
section or subsection of the Disclosure Letter shall be deemed disclosed with respect to any other

2.2 Representations and Warranties regarding Parent, Seller and the AIA Entities. Except as
Previously Disclosed, Parent represents and warrants to Buyer that as of the Signing Date (other
than with respect to representations regarding the Company and HK Co) and as of the Closing Date

existing and in good standing (or the equivalent, if any, in the applicable jurisdiction) under the
laws of its jurisdiction of organization, with the necessary power and authority to own its
properties and conduct its business in all material respects. Except as would not reasonably be

AIA and PhilAm has been duly qualified as a foreign corporation, limited liability company or other
organization for the transaction of business and is in good standing (or the equivalent, if any, in
the applicable jurisdiction) under the laws of each other jurisdiction in which it owns or leases

corporation, limited liability company or other organization for the transaction of business and is
in good standing (or the equivalent, if any, in the applicable jurisdiction) under the laws of each
other jurisdiction in which it owns or leases properties or conducts any business so as to require
such qualification. Section 2.2(a) of the Disclosure Letter sets forth a true and complete
list of each subsidiary and each Material Minority Investee Company of the Company, AIA and PhilAm,
its jurisdiction of organization and the Company’s, AIA’s or PhilAm’s, as the
6

Investee Company expressed as a percentage.
(b) LLC Agreement and Membership Units of the Company.

or exchangeable for any of their shares of capital stock or equity ownership interests. There are
no restricted shares, stock appreciation rights, performance units, contingent value rights,
“phantom” stock or similar securities or rights that are derivative of, or provide economic
benefits based, directly or indirectly, on the value or price of, any shares of capital stock or
equity ownership interests of any AIA Entity. Other than the LLC Agreement, there are no voting
trusts, proxies, or other agreements or understandings with respect to the shares of capital stock
or ownership interests of any AIA Entity to which any such Person is a party, or agreements or
understandings to which any AIA Entity is a party relating to the registration, sale or transfer

of any such shares of capital stock or equity ownership interests.
(c) Ownership of Subsidiaries and Material Minority Investee Companies. As of the
Closing Date, all of the issued and outstanding equity of AIA will be owned directly or indirectly
by the Company, as contemplated by the Restructuring, free and clear of any and all liens and any

(d) Ownership and Transfer of Purchased Securities. As of the Closing Date, Seller
will be the record and beneficial owner of the Purchased Securities. Seller has the power and
authority to sell, transfer, assign and deliver such Purchased Securities as provided in this
Agreement, and such delivery will convey to Buyer good and marketable title to such Purchased
Securities, free and clear of any and all liens and any other limitation or restriction (including
any restriction on the right to vote, sell or otherwise dispose of the Purchased Securities), other
than restrictions on transfer imposed by applicable Law or the LLC Agreement.
(e) Authorization, Enforceability.
(i) Parent, Seller and the Company have the power and authority to carry out the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction Documents (which includes the issuance of the Purchased Securities
by the Company). Except for the approvals of the Boards of Directors of each of Seller and AIGLH
with respect to the dividends by Seller and AIGLH referred to in Section 1.2(f), which approvals
shall have been obtained prior to the Closing Date, the execution, delivery and performance by
Parent and Seller of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the
Transaction Documents by Parent, Seller and any AIA Entity have been duly authorized by all
necessary action on the part of Parent, Seller and the AIA Entities and their respective
stockholders or members, and no further approval or authorization shall be required on the part of
Parent, Seller or any AIA Entity or any of their respective stockholders or members. Each of the
Transaction Documents to which Parent, Seller or any AIA Entity is a party has been or, upon

ended November 30, 2006, 2007 and 2008 and unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheets of AIA

Accounting Policies”) applied on a consistent basis and present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position and the results of operations of AIA and its subsidiaries as at their
respective dates and for the respective periods covered thereby. The Parent Accounting Policies

11
respects, the financial position and the results of operations of PhilAm as at their
respective dates and for the respective periods covered thereby.
(h) Reports. To the knowledge of Parent, since January 1, 2007, each AIA Entity has
timely filed (subject to any permitted extension) all material reports, registrations, documents,
filings, statements and submissions, together with any amendments thereto, that it was required to
file with any Governmental Entity (the foregoing, collectively, the “Reports”) and has paid all
material fees and assessments due and payable in connection therewith. As of their respective
dates of filing, to the knowledge of Parent, (i) the Reports complied in all material respects with
all statutes and applicable rules and regulations of the applicable Governmental Entities and (ii)
were complete and accurate in all material respects. Parent and/or AIA has made available to Buyer
true and complete copies of (A) all material reports of examination (including financial, market
conduct and similar examinations) of AIA and PhilAm and each Insurance Subsidiary issued by any
insurance regulatory authority, in any case, since August 30, 2008 and (B) all material filings or
submissions made by AIA and PhilAm and each Insurance Subsidiary with any insurance regulatory
authority since August 30, 2008. The statutory statements of each of AIA and PhilAm and their
respective Insurance Subsidiaries have been prepared in all material respects, to the extent
applicable, in accordance with SAP and applicable Laws, fairly present the statutory financial
position of AIA and PhilAm and their respective Insurance Subsidiaries and have not been subject to
any assertion of material deficiency by any Governmental Entity. This Section 2.2(h) shall
not apply with respect to Tax Returns, which subject matter shall be governed solely by the
representations made under Section 2.2(o).
(i) No Undisclosed Liabilities. No AIA Entity has any liabilities or obligations of
any nature (absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise) which are not properly reflected or
reserved against in the Financial Statements to the extent required to be so reflected or reserved
against in accordance with the accounting standards or principles upon which they were prepared,
except for (A) liabilities that have arisen since November 30, 2008 in the ordinary and usual
course of business and consistent with past practice and (B) liabilities that, individually or in
the aggregate, have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(j) Offering of Securities. Neither Parent, Seller, the Company nor any Person acting
on their behalf has taken any action (including any offering of any securities of the Company under
circumstances which would require the integration of such offering with the offering of any of the
Purchased Securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended from time to time (the
“Securities Act”), and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder), which might
subject the offering, issuance or sale of any of the Purchased Securities to Buyer pursuant to this
Agreement to the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
(k) Litigation and Other Proceedings. There is no Legal Proceeding pending or, to the
knowledge of Parent, threatened in writing against any AIA Entity or to which any of their
respective assets are subject which would reasonably be expected to result in Losses in excess of
$10 million or any permanent injunction or other form of
12
equitable relief which would have a material adverse effect on any material business
operations of any AIA Entity in any Material Jurisdiction. No AIA Entity is subject to any
material Order in a Material Jurisdiction and, to the knowledge of Parent, in any jurisdiction
(other than a Material Jurisdiction).
(l) Material Contracts. Seller has used its reasonable best efforts to make available
to Buyer a true and complete copy of each of the Material Contracts as in effect as of the Signing
Date. Each Material Contract is a valid and binding obligation of each of the AIA Entities (as
applicable) that is party thereto and, to the knowledge of Parent, each other party to such
Material Contract, except for such failures to be valid and binding as, individually or in the
aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each such Material
Contract is enforceable against the AIA Entity that is party thereto and, to the knowledge of
Parent, as of the Signing Date, each other party to such Material Contract in accordance with its
terms (subject in each case to the Bankruptcy Exceptions), except for such failures to be
enforceable as, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. No AIA Entity or, to the knowledge of Parent, as of the Signing Date, any
other party to a Material Contract, is in material default or material breach of a Material
Contract and, to the knowledge of Parent, as of the Signing Date, there does not exist any event,
condition or omission that would constitute such a material default or material breach (whether by
lapse of time or notice or both), in each case, except as, individually or in the aggregate, would
not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(m) Compliance with Laws. The AIA Entities have all material permits, licenses,
franchises, authorizations, orders and approvals of, and have made all material filings,
applications and registrations with, Governmental Entities, that are required in order to permit
them to own or lease their properties and assets and to carry on their business as presently
conducted (the “Permits”), including all material licenses, certificates of authority, permits or
other authorizations that are required to be obtained from any Governmental Entity in connection
with the operation, ownership or transaction of insurance or reinsurance business. To the
knowledge of Parent, all Permits are valid and in full force and effect. To the knowledge of
Parent, no AIA Entity is in default under or the subject of a proceeding for suspension or
revocation of, and, to the knowledge of Parent, no condition exists that with notice or lapse of
time or both would constitute a default under, or basis for suspension or revocation of, any
Permit. To the knowledge of Parent, none of the Permits will be terminated or impaired or become
terminable, in whole or in part, as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby. To the
knowledge of Parent, each AIA Entity has complied in all respects and is not in default or
violation of, and no AIA Entity is, to the knowledge of Parent, under investigation with respect to
or, to the knowledge of Parent, has been threatened to be charged with or given notice of any
violation of, any applicable Law, other than such noncompliance, defaults or violations that would
not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
To the knowledge of Parent, except for statutory or regulatory restrictions of general application
or applicable to insurance companies generally and except for restrictions imposed by certain
regulators as a result of the financial events concerning Parent as announced by Parent on
September 16, 2008, no Governmental Entity has placed any material restriction (other
13
than Permitted Liens) on the business or properties of any AIA Entity that would, individually
or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. This Section
2.2(m) shall not apply with respect to Taxes.
(n) Employee Benefit Matters. Parent has delivered or made available to Buyer a true,
correct and complete list of Senior Partners and Partners, and true, correct and complete copies of
each Management Agreement and each material Company Benefit Plan. Except as would not reasonably
be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect:
(i) Except as set forth on Section 2.2(n)(i) of the Disclosure Letter, no Company
Employee participates in a Benefit Plan that is not a Company Benefit Plan;
(ii) Each Company Benefit Plan has been operated and administered (including with respect to
any applicable funding and registration requirements in the case of any pension fund) in compliance
with its terms and with applicable Law;
(iii) No AIA Entity has engaged in a transaction with respect to any Company Benefit Plan
that, assuming the taxable period of such transaction expired as at the Signing Date, would
reasonably be expected to subject any AIA Entity or any Company Benefit Plan to any Tax or penalty
under applicable Law;
(iv) All contributions required to be made by any AIA Entity (as applicable) under the terms
of any Company Benefit Plan have been timely made when due and are appropriately reflected in all
respects in the Financial Statements.

mandated by applicable Law or (B) coverage that continues during an applicable severance period;

(vii) None of the Company Benefit Plans is subject to Title I or Title IV of ERISA, and no

Title IV of ERISA. Neither Parent nor any of its ERISA Affiliates has incurred any liability under
Title IV of ERISA arising in connection with the termination of or complete or partial withdrawal
from any plan covered or previously covered by Title IV of ERISA that is or could become, after the
Closing Date, an obligation of any AIA Entity;
(viii) There is no contract, plan or arrangement (written or otherwise) covering any current
or former Company Employee, including without limitation any Management Agreement, that,
individually or collectively, could give rise to the payment of any amount as a result of the
transactions contemplated hereby that would not be deductible pursuant to the terms of Section 280G
or 162(m) of the Code;
14
(ix) Except as required by applicable Law, no current or former Company Employee will become
entitled to any bonus, retirement, severance or similar benefit or enhanced benefit (including
acceleration of vesting or exercise of an incentive award) as a result of the transactions
contemplated hereby;
(x) Except as required by applicable Law, no AIA Entity is a party to or bound by any
collective bargaining agreement; and
(xi) Each Company Benefit Plan has been maintained in compliance with its terms and with the
requirements prescribed by any and all applicable statutes, orders, rules and regulations
(including any special provisions relating to qualified plans where such Company Benefit Plan was
intended to so qualify) and has been maintained in good standing in accordance with applicable Law
and with applicable regulatory authorities. With respect to each Company Benefit Plan, all
required contributions have been timely made or properly accrued. No Company Benefit Plan that is
a pension scheme has any unfunded liability.
(o) Taxes.
(i) Each AIA Entity has timely filed all federal income tax and all other material state,
local and foreign income and franchise Tax returns (“Tax Returns”) required to be filed through the
Signing Date, subject to permitted extensions, and has timely paid all Taxes shown as due on such
returns. As of the time of filing, such Tax Returns were true and complete in all material
respects. “Tax” or “Taxes” means (A) any federal, state, local or foreign income, gross receipts,
property, sales, use, license, excise, franchise, employment, payroll, withholding, alternative or
add on minimum, ad valorem, transfer or excise tax, or any other tax, custom, duty or other like
assessment or charge, together with any interest or penalty with respect thereto, imposed by any
Governmental Entity responsible for the imposition of any such tax (domestic or foreign) (each a
“Taxing Authority”), and (B) in the case of each AIA Entity, liability for the payment of any
amount of the type described in clause (A) as a result of being or having been before the Signing
Date a member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary group, or a party to any
agreement or arrangement, as a result of which liability of any AIA Entity to a Taxing Authority is
determined or taken into account with reference to the activities of any other individual,
corporation, partnership, limited liability company, association, trust or other entity or
organization.
(ii) (A) The charges, accruals and reserves for Taxes with respect to each AIA Entity
reflected on the books of such AIA Entity (excluding any provision for deferred income taxes
reflecting either differences between the treatment of items for accounting and income tax purposes
or carryforwards) are adequate to cover Tax liabilities accruing through the end of the last period
for which each AIA Entity ordinarily record items on their respective books; and (B) all
information set forth in the Financial Statements (including the notes thereto) relating to Tax
matters is true and complete.
15
(iii) (A) All income Tax Returns filed with respect to Tax years of each AIA Entity through
the Tax year ended December 31, 2001 have been examined and closed or are Tax Returns with respect
to which the applicable period for assessment under applicable Law, after giving effect to
extensions or waivers, has expired; (B) no AIA Entity is delinquent in the payment of any material
income Tax shown due on a Tax Return or has requested any extension of time within which to file
any Tax Return and has not yet filed such Tax Return; (C) no AIA Entity has granted any extension
or waiver of the statute of limitations period applicable to any income Tax Return, which period
(after giving effect to such extension or waiver) has not yet expired; (D) there is no claim,
audit, action, suit, proceeding, or investigation now pending or threatened against or with respect
to any AIA Entity in respect of any Tax (to the extent that any such action may materially affect
any AIA Entity); (E) there are no requests for rulings or determinations in respect of any Tax
pending between any AIA Entity and any Taxing Authority; and (F) during the three-year period
ending on the Signing Date, no AIA Entity has made or changed any tax election, changed any annual
tax accounting period, or adopted or changed any method of tax accounting (to the extent that any
such action may materially affect any AIA Entity), nor has it, to the extent it may materially
affect any AIA Entity, filed any amended Tax Return, entered into any closing agreement, settled
any Tax claim or assessment, or surrendered any right to claim a Tax refund, offset or other
reduction in Tax liability.
(p) Properties and Leases. The AIA Entities (as applicable) have good and marketable
title (or the equivalent in the applicable jurisdiction) to all real properties with a minimum
estimated fair market value of at least $50 million that are owned by them, in each case free from
liens, encumbrances, claims and defects (other than Permitted Liens) that would affect the value
thereof or interfere with the use made or to be made thereof by them. Except as would not,
individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, the AIA
Entities (as applicable) hold all leased real property that requires minimum annual lease payments
of at least $5 million per year under valid and enforceable leases with no exceptions (other than
Permitted Liens) that would interfere with the use made or to be made thereof by them.
(q) Insurance. All current property and liability insurance policies covering any AIA
Entity are in full force and effect (and all premiums due and payable thereon have been paid in
full on a timely basis), and no written notice of cancellation, termination or revocation or other
written notice that any such insurance policy is no longer in full force or effect or that the
issuer of any such insurance policy is not willing or able to perform its obligations thereunder
has been received by any AIA Entity, and no AIA Entity is in default of any provision thereof,
except, in each case, that, individually or in the aggregate, would not be reasonably expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect.
(r) Intellectual Property. Except as would not, individually or in the aggregate,
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (1) each AIA Entity owns or otherwise has
the right to use, all intellectual property rights, including all trademarks, trade dress, trade
names, service marks, domain names, patents, inventions, trade secrets, know-how, works of
authorship and copyrights therein, that are used in the
16
conduct of their existing businesses and all rights relating to the plans, design and
specifications of any of its branch facilities (“Proprietary Rights”) free and clear of all liens
and any claims of ownership by current or former employees, contractors, designers or others except
for any Permitted Liens and (2) to the knowledge of Parent, no AIA Entity is materially infringing,
diluting, misappropriating or violating, nor has any AIA Entity received within the last two years
any written (or, to the knowledge of Parent, oral) communications alleging that any of them has
materially infringed, diluted, misappropriated or violated, any of the Proprietary Rights owned by
any other Person. Except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect, to the knowledge of Parent, no other Person is infringing,
diluting, misappropriating or violating, nor has any AIA Entity sent any written communications
since January 1, 2007 alleging that any Person has infringed, diluted, misappropriated or violated,
any of the Proprietary Rights owned by any AIA Entity.
(s) Brokers and Finders. No broker, finder or investment banker is entitled to any
financial advisory, brokerage, finder’s or other fee or commission in connection with this
Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of
Parent, Seller, any AIA Entity or any of their respective Affiliates.
(t) Insurance Issued by AIA, PhilAm and the Insurance Subsidiaries.
(i) Since January 1, 2007 and save in respect of benefits relating to claims incurred but not
yet reported and reported claims being processed by AIA, PhilAm or any of the Insurance
Subsidiaries as of the Signing Date, all benefits due and payable under Insurance Contracts issued
by AIA, PhilAm or any of the Insurance Subsidiaries have been paid in the ordinary course of
business and in accordance with the terms of the Insurance Contracts under which they arose, except
for such benefits for which AIA, PhilAm or any Insurance Subsidiary believes there is a reasonable
basis to contest payment and subject to such exceptions that, individually or in the aggregate,
would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(ii) All policy forms and rates in use by AIA, PhilAm or any of the Insurance Subsidiaries,
and all endorsements, applications and certificates pertaining thereto, as and where required by
applicable Laws, have been either filed, approved, or filed and non-disapproved by all applicable
Governmental Entities, subject to such exceptions that, individually or in the aggregate, would not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(iii) There are no unpaid claims or assessments made against AIA, PhilAm or any Insurance
Subsidiary by any insurance guarantee associations or similar organizations in connection with such
association’s insurance guarantee fund, subject to such exceptions that, individually or in the
aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(iv) All reinsurance treaties or agreements to which AIA, PhilAm or any Insurance Subsidiary
is a party or under which AIA, PhilAm or any
17
Insurance Subsidiary has any existing rights, obligations or liabilities are in full force and
effect, or run-off in accordance with its terms, subject to such exceptions that, individually or
in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. None of AIA,
PhilAm and the Insurance Subsidiaries and, to the knowledge of Parent, any other party to a
reinsurance treaty, binder or other reinsurance agreement, in each case the annual premium
associated therewith is greater than or equal to $10 million, is in default in any material respect
as to any provision thereof and, except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, no such agreement contains any provision providing
that the other party thereto may terminate such agreement by reason of the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction Documents. None of AIA, PhilAm and the Insurance Subsidiaries has
received any written notice to the effect that the financial condition of any other party to any
such agreement is impaired with the result that a default thereunder may reasonably be anticipated,
whether or not such default may be cured by the operation of any offset clause in such agreement.
(v) Parent has made available to Buyer a true and complete copy of all appraisal valuation
reports prepared by independent actuaries with respect to the business of each of AIA, PhilAm and
the Insurance Subsidiaries as at August 31, 2008, and all attachments, addenda, supplements and
modifications thereto, including any roll-forward as of November 30, 2008 (the “Actuarial
Analyses”). To the knowledge of Parent, (i) any information and data furnished by AIA, PhilAm or
any Insurance Subsidiary to independent actuaries in connection with the preparation of the
Actuarial Analyses were accurate in all material respects, (ii) each Actuarial Analysis was based,
in all material respects, upon an accurate inventory of policies in force for AIA, PhilAm and the
Insurance Subsidiaries, as the case may be, at the relevant time of preparation.
(u) Producers; Sales Practices. (i) Each insurance agent, marketer, underwriter,
wholesaler, broker, distributor or other producer that wrote, sold, produced or marketed Insurance
Contracts for AIA, PhilAm or any of the Insurance Subsidiaries (each, a “Producer”), at the time
such Producer wrote, sold, produced or marketed such Insurance Contract, was duly licensed as
required by applicable Law (for the type of business written, sold, produced or marketed on behalf
of AIA, PhilAm or the Insurance Subsidiary) except for such failures to be licensed which have been
cured, which have been resolved or settled through agreements with applicable Governmental
Entities, which are barred by an applicable statute of limitations or which, individually or in the
aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and (ii) no Producer
is in violation of any Law applicable to the writing, sale, production or marketing of Insurance
Contracts for AIA, PhilAm or any of the Insurance Subsidiaries, including (A) all applicable Laws
relating to the disclosure of the nature of insurance products as policies of insurance, (B) all
applicable Laws relating to insurance product projections and illustrations, (C) all applicable
prohibitions on the use of unfair methods of competition and deceptive acts or practices relating
to the advertising, sales and marketing of insurance or annuities and (D) all applicable
disclosure, filing and other requirements with respect to any variation in premiums or other
charges resulting from the time at which such premiums or charges are paid, except for such
violations which have been cured, which have been resolved or settled through agreements with
applicable
18
Governmental Entities, which are barred by an applicable statute of limitations or which,
individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.
(v) Investment Assets. Parent has made available to Buyer a true, correct and
complete list of the investment assets beneficially owned by PhilAm and each subsidiary of PhilAm
that is an Insurance Subsidiary as at December 31, 2008 and by AIA and each subsidiary of AIA that
is an Insurance Subsidiary as at February 28, 2009.
(w) Reserves. The reserves for payment of benefits, losses, claims and expenses under
all Insurance Contracts of AIA, PhilAm and each Insurance Subsidiary as set forth in the most
recent financial statements filed as of the Signing Date with the applicable regulatory authorities
in the primary jurisdictions of such entity and its material branches were determined in accordance
with SAP. For the sake of clarity, however, Parent makes no express or implied representation or
warranty hereby or otherwise under this Agreement as to the future experience or profitability

deliver to Buyer, as set forth in Section 6.5, or any other individual as may be
specified by Buyer as replacing him or her (either such individual set forth in Section 6.5
or any subsequent replacement thereof, the “Consent Request Contact”) a written request for consent
(a “Consent Request Notice”), setting forth sufficient detail regarding the facts and circumstances
of such proposed action (including all financial and background information) to enable Buyer to
make a reasonably informed decision with respect to such request for consent. Buyer shall only
have been deemed to have provided its written consent to any action for purposes of Section
3.4 hereof if the Consent Request Contact has delivered to Parent a copy of the Consent Request
Notice with respect to such action which has been countersigned by Buyer. Buyer agrees to use
reasonable efforts to cause a decision as to whether or not to grant its consent to any proposed
action to be made within 30 calendar days after delivery of a conforming Consent 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 Buyer’s rights under Section 3.4 or any party’s other rights or
obligations under this Agreement. The parties hereto agree that any consent granted with respect
to any action in accordance with this Section 3.5 shall be deemed to have been provided for
all other purposes for which the consent of Buyer may be required with respect to such action under

to in this paragraph exclude the AIA Entities), on the other hand, in excess of $25 million per
annum to be on an arm’s-length basis.
3.7 Confidentiality; Access to Information.
(a) The information concerning Parent, Seller, the Company, AIA or PhilAm or their respective
subsidiaries furnished or made available to Buyer or its representatives by Parent, Seller, the
Company, AIA or PhilAm or their respective representatives pursuant to this Agreement shall be held
confidential pursuant to the terms of the nondisclosure agreement, dated as of September 25, 2008,
between Parent and Buyer (the “Nondisclosure Agreement”).
(b) Each of Parent and Seller 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 Buyer
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
24
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 Buyer). Buyer hereby agrees promptly after
the date hereof (i) to inform the GAO in writing of the Nondisclosure Agreement, pursuant to which
(and subject to the terms thereof) Buyer has agreed to treat as confidential certain information of
Parent and its subsidiaries and affiliated entities, and (ii) in consultation with Parent, to take
reasonable steps to establish protocols with the GAO governing the receipt, handling and
dissemination by the GAO of confidential information of Parent, Seller and their subsidiaries. In
addition to the foregoing, it is acknowledged that Parent or Seller separately has sought
assurances from the Comptroller General that the GAO will follow applicable laws and regulations,
or other protocols that may be agreed to between the GAO and Parent or Seller,
relating to the disclosure of confidential information obtained directly or indirectly from Parent
or Seller, and will take steps to enter into a written agreement regarding those assurances and/or
other protocols that may be agreed to between the GAO and Parent or Seller.

execute and deliver or caused to be executed and/or delivered all such agreements, documents and
instruments with respect to any Common Units acquired by Parent or any of its Affiliates that are

certificates therefor) accompanied by undated stock powers executed in blank, and make or caused to
be made all such filings and recordings (other than filings or recordings to be made by Buyer) that
may be necessary or, in the reasonable opinion of Buyer, desirable in order to create in favor of
Buyer, valid and (upon such filing and recording) perfected first priority security interests in
such Common Units pursuant to the Guarantee and Pledge Agreement Amendment.
3.9 Quarter-End Certificate. No later than 10 business days prior to the Closing Date, Parent
will cause to be prepared and delivered to Buyer the standard internal balance sheet for AIA and
its subsidiaries and, to the extent not already included within such balance sheet, the standard
internal balance sheet for PhilAm and its subsidiaries, in each case, that was used to prepare
Parent’s most recent balance sheet filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as of such
date (the “Quarter-End Balance Sheet(s)”), and a calculation, based on such Quarter-End Balance
Sheet(s), of the Quarter-End Stockholders’ Equity (the “Quarter-End Certificate”). The Quarter-End
Balance Sheet(s) shall (x) fairly present the consolidated (or aggregate pro forma, to the extent
PhilAm and its subsidiaries are not yet as of the date thereof subsidiaries of AIA) financial
position of the AIA Entities as of the date thereof, (y) include line items substantially
consistent with those contained in the AIA 2009 Accounts and, if applicable, the PhilAm 2009
Accounts and (z) be prepared in accordance with the Parent Accounting Policies (including with
respect to certification) applied on a consistent basis with the AIA 2009 Accounts and, if
applicable, the PhilAm 2009 Accounts. “Quarter-End Stockholders’ Equity” means the consolidated
(or aggregate pro forma, to the extent PhilAm and its subsidiaries are not yet as of the date
thereof subsidiaries of AIA)
25
stockholders’ equity of the AIA Entities as shown on the Quarter-End Balance Sheet(s), with
the following adjustments: (a) excluding the effects of the Restructuring (other than, if
applicable, the contribution of PhilAm and its subsidiaries to AIA) and (b) excluding the effects
of any change after February 28, 2009 in the foreign currency exchange rates used to translate the
functional currencies to the U.S. dollar reporting currency.
3.10 Notice of LLC Agreement. Parent will cause the Company to provide written notice (which
notice shall be satisfactory to Buyer) promptly after the Signing Date to those subsidiaries set
forth on Section 3.10 of the Disclosure Letter with a copy of the LLC Agreement and noting
that the Company will have certain obligations contained therein that will require the Company as
the direct or indirect shareholder of such subsidiary to cause such subsidiary to take or not take
certain actions.

Additional Agreements
Additional Agreements
4.1 Purchase of Restricted Securities.
(a) Buyer acknowledges that the Purchased Securities have not been registered under the
Securities Act or under any state securities laws. The Purchased Securities are being acquired by
Buyer for its own account and without a view to the public distribution or sale of any of the
Purchased Securities or any interest in them. Buyer (a) is acquiring the Purchased Securities
pursuant to an exemption under the Securities Act from registration under the Securities Act and
has no present intention to distribute them to any Person in violation of the Securities Act or any
applicable U.S. state securities laws, (b) will not sell or otherwise dispose of any of the
Purchased Securities, except in compliance with the registration requirements or exemption
provisions of the Securities Act and any applicable U.S. state securities laws, and (c) has such
knowledge and experience in financial and business matters and in investments of this type that it
is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the purchase of the Purchased Securities and of
making an informed investment decision.

will bear a legend substantially to the following effect:
“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS INSTRUMENT HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY NON-U.S. OR STATE
SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT IN
COMPLIANCE WITH SUCH ACT OR SUCH LAWS.”
(c) In the event that any Purchased Securities (i) become registered under the Securities Act
or (ii) are eligible to be transferred without restriction in accordance with Rule 144 or another
exemption from registration under the Securities Act (other than Rule 144A), Parent shall cause the
Company to issue new certificates or other instruments representing such Purchased Securities,
which shall not contain the
26
legend in Section 4.1(b) above; provided that Buyer surrenders to the Company the
previously issued certificates or other instruments.
4.2 Tax Treatment of the Transactions. It is the intention of the parties that, for U.S.
federal income tax purposes, (a) on the transfer by Parent of beneficial ownership of the PhilAm
shares to AIA, AIA shall become the owner of such equity interests and the transitory existence of
the AIA Note will be disregarded; (b) the following transactions shall be treated as occurring when
the Company and HK Co are disregarded under Treasury Regulation Section 301.7701-2(c)(2) as
separate entities from Seller: (1) the transfer by Seller of the AIA equity interests to the
Company in return for the HK Note A (as defined in Annex A); (2) the issuance of the Preferred
Units to Seller in return for the HK Note A; and (3) the issuance by HK Co to the Company of stock
of HK Co and the HK Note B (as defined in Annex A) in return for the HK Note A; (c) as a result,
each of the transactions described in clause (b) hereof shall be disregarded, including, for the
avoidance of doubt, the transitory existence of the HK Note A; (d) the election under Treasury
Regulation Section 301.7701-3(c) to treat HK Co as a corporation shall be treated as the transfer
by Seller of the AIA equity interests to HK Co in return for all the HK Co. stock and the HK Note
B; (e) immediately before the election described in clause (d) hereof, this Agreement shall
constitute a binding contract pursuant to which the sale described in clause (f) hereof shall
occur; (f) the sale of the Preferred Units to Buyer in return for the Consideration shall be
treated as (1) the transfer by Seller to Buyer of undivided interests in the stock of HK Co and the
HK Note B in return for the Consideration, followed by (2) the contribution by Buyer and Seller of
their respective interests in the stock of HK Co and the HK Note B to the Company, which, as of the
time of such contribution, shall be treated as a partnership, in return for the Units; and (g) the
transfer, via dividend, of the Consideration to AIGLH, which is (and, as of the time of such
transfer, shall continue to be) disregarded as a separate entity from Parent under Treasury
Regulation Section 301.7701-2(c)(2), shall be treated as (1) the transfer of the Consideration, to
the extent of the fair market value of the PhilAm equity interests, to Parent in return for such
PhilAm equity interests, and (2) except to the foregoing extent, a distribution described in Code
Section 301 to Parent. The terms of this Agreement and the LLC 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.
4.3 Preparation of Compliant Financial Statements. Parent shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to cause its accountants to prepare the Compliant Financial Statements as soon as
practicable, but in any event no later than 12 months after the Closing, and Parent shall deliver
such Compliant Financial Statements to Buyer. In addition, following the Closing, Parent shall,
and shall cause its subsidiaries and representatives to, provide Buyer and the Company (and their
respective advisors) with reasonable access to its financial management and any accountant’s work
papers, and all financial books, accounts and records relating to the AIA Entities in connection
with any public offering of equity or debt securities, including the preparation by the Company or
any of its Affiliates of a filing under the Securities Act or with respect to any financing and/or
periodic reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended from time to time (the
“Exchange Act”) or any other compliance by the Company or any of its
27
Affiliates with the requirements of the securities Laws of the jurisdiction(s) governing any
such public offering and any applicable listing standards of any stock exchange or quotation system
upon which such securities are to be listed or quoted.
4.4 Completion of the Restructuring. As soon as practicable, but in any event no later than
60 days after all of the required approvals, consents, exemptions or authorization of any
Governmental Entity for such transactions (including any applicable Tax treaty relief rulings) are
obtained by Buyer, Parent, Seller or any AIA Entity, Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates
to, complete, in each case, on terms acceptable to Buyer in all respects, all of the transactions
contemplated by the Restructuring that have not been completed at or prior to the Closing.
4.5 Separation Plan; Contribution of IP. As soon as practicable, but in any event no later
than 20 business days prior to the Closing, Parent shall prepare and deliver to Buyer a separation
plan, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parent and Buyer (the “Separation Plan”),
(i) identifying all material assets, properties or Proprietary Rights used or held for use
primarily in the business or operations of any of the AIA Entities and not owned by one or more of
the AIA Entities, (ii) providing for the contribution or, to the extent reasonably acceptable to
Parent and Buyer, the license of such assets and properties to (A) one or more of the AIA Entities
prior to the Closing Date, or (B) the Company (and not any other AIA Entity) by such other date as
may be agreed between Parent and Buyer; provided, that the Company shall have no plan to, and until
after two years following the receipt of any such asset or property shall not, contribute such
asset or property to any other AIA Entity except for a transfer in exchange for consideration
(other than any equity interest) equal to the fair market value of such asset or property so
transferred, (iii) identifying all material contracts, agreements and other arrangements between
any AIA Entity, on the one hand, and Parent or any of its Affiliates (the “Affiliates” of Parent
referred to in this paragraph exclude the AIA Entities) and the plan for substitution or
replacement of same with contracts, agreements and other arrangements with third parties or
otherwise and (iv) that takes into account the listing requirements applicable upon a listing on
the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited. Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and the AIA
Entities to, use its commercially reasonable efforts to comply with the Separation Plan. To the
extent any aspect of the Separation Plan cannot be enacted despite the commercially reasonably
efforts of Parent, its Affiliates and the AIA Entities, Parent, Buyer and the AIA Entities shall
negotiate mutually acceptable revisions to the Separation Plan, with the intention that such
revisions shall provide the parties with such rights, assets and properties that approximate that
of the Separation Plan to the maximum extent possible. Without limitation of the foregoing, prior
to the Closing, Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, assign, transfer, convey and
deliver to one or more AIA Entity all of the trademarks and domain names used or held for use
primarily in the business or operations of any of the AIA Entities and not owned by one or more of
the AIA Entities (the “Contributed IP”), in each case, without cost to any AIA Entity and on terms
reasonably satisfactory to Buyer. For purposes of this section, “Proprietary Rights,” “trademarks”
or “domain names” do not include the names “AIG,” or “American International Group, Inc.,” or any
trade, corporate or business names, trademarks, tag-lines, identifying logos, trade dress,
monograms, slogans, service marks, domain names, brand names or any other name or

source identifiers related thereto or employing the wording “AIG” or any “AIG” formative
marks, or any derivation or variation of any of the foregoing (for example, among others, American
International Group) or any confusingly similar trade, corporate or business name, trademark,
tag-line, identifying logo, trade dress, monogram, slogan, service xxxx, domain name, brand name or
other name or source identifier (including any registrations and applications relating thereto).

5.3 Notification of Claims.
(a) Buyer shall promptly notify Parent in writing of any claim in respect of which indemnity
may be sought under this Article 5, including any pending or threatened claim or demand by
a third party that Buyer has 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 Buyer) (each, 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 (x) the failure to provide such notice shall not release Parent from any of its
obligations under this Article 5, except to the extent that Parent is materially prejudiced
by such failure and (y) in the case of any claim for indemnification under Section
5.2(a)(vii), such notice may be delivered only on or after the earlier to occur of a Drag-Along
Sale or Sale of the Company (each as defined in the LLC Agreement) and the second anniversary of an
31
Initial Public Offering (as defined in the LLC Agreement). The parties agree that (i) notices
for claims in respect of a breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement must be
delivered prior to the expiration of any applicable survival period specified in Section
5.1 for such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement and (ii) any claims for
indemnification for which notice is not timely delivered in accordance with this Section
5.3(a) shall be expressly barred and are hereby waived; provided, further, that if, prior to
such applicable date, Buyer shall have notified Parent in accordance with the requirements of this
Section 5.3(a) of a claim for indemnification under this Article 5 (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 5 notwithstanding the passing
of such applicable date.
(b) Upon receipt of a notice of a claim for indemnity from Buyer pursuant to Section
5.3(a) in respect of a Third Party Claim, Parent may, by notice to Buyer 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; provided that,
prior to assuming control of such defense, Parent must acknowledge that it would have an indemnity
obligation for the Losses resulting from such Third Party Claim under this Article 5.
Buyer may take any actions reasonably necessary to defend such Third Party Claim prior to the time
that it receives a notice from Parent as contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence.
Parent shall allow Buyer a reasonable opportunity to participate in the defense of such Third Party
Claim with its own counsel and at its own expense. Parent shall not, without the prior written
consent of Buyer (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), consent to a settlement, compromise or
discharge of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Third Party Claim, unless such
settlement, compromise, discharge or entry of any judgment does not involve any finding or
admission of any violation of applicable Law or admission of any wrongdoing by all Indemnified
Parties, and Parent shall (i) pay or cause to be paid all amounts arising out of such settlement or
judgment concurrently with the effectiveness of such settlement or judgment (unless otherwise
provided in such judgment), (ii) obtain, as a condition of any settlement, compromise, discharge,
entry of judgment (if applicable), or other resolution, a complete and unconditional release of
Buyer from any and all liabilities in respect of such Third Party Claim. Buyer 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 Parent or admit to any liability with respect to such claim or
demand without the prior written consent of Parent.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 5 (including
Section 5.2), Parent shall not have any liability under this Article 5 for any
Losses arising out of or in connection with any Third Party Claim that is settled or compromised by
Buyer without the consent of Parent.
(d) Subject to Section 5.3(e) through (g), in the event Parent receives a notice of a
claim for indemnity from Buyer pursuant to Section 5.3(a) that does not involve a Third
Party Claim, Parent shall notify Buyer within twenty (20) business days following its receipt of
such notice whether Parent disputes its liability to Buyer under this Article 5. If Parent
fails to timely notify Buyer, the Losses arising out of such claim
32
shall be conclusively deemed to be a liability of Parent and Parent shall promptly pay to
Buyer any and all Losses arising out of such claim. Buyer shall reasonably cooperate with and
assist Parent in determining the validity of any such claim for indemnity by Buyer.
(e) In the event Parent receives a notice of a claim for indemnity under Section
5.2(a)(vii) from Buyer, Parent shall notify Buyer within twenty (20) business days following
its receipt of such notice whether Parent disputes its liability to Buyer, or the amount of any
Losses claimed, under Section 5.2(a)(vii). Any notice delivered to Buyer pursuant to this
Section 5.3(e) (a “Notice of Disagreement”) shall specify in reasonable detail Parent’s
basis for disputing its liability or the amount of indemnifiable Losses under Section
5.2(a)(vii). During the twenty (20) business day period following the delivery of any Notice
of Disagreement, Buyer and Parent shall negotiate in good faith to reach agreement with respect to
the disputed liability or amount. If Buyer and Parent are unable to reach such agreement during
such period, within five (5) business days following the end of such period, each of Buyer and
Parent shall deliver to the other party a written notice setting forth its good faith calculation
of the amount of indemnifiable Losses under Section 5.2(a)(vii) (with respect to each such
party, such party’s “Estimate of Losses”).
(f) If the difference on a percentage basis between the amount of Parent’s Estimate of Losses
and the amount of Buyer’s Estimate of Losses is equal to or less than 10%, then each of Parent and
Buyer agrees, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, that the amount of indemnifiable Losses under
Section 5.2(a)(vii) shall be equal to the average of Buyer’s Estimate of Losses and
Parent’s Estimate of Losses.
(g) If the difference of a percentage basis between the amount of Parent’s Estimate of Losses
and the amount of Buyer’s Estimate of Losses is greater than 10%, then each of Parent and Buyer
shall promptly, and in any event within (x) ten (10) business days, select an investment bank of
nationally recognized standing reasonably satisfactory to Parent and Buyer (which shall not have
any material commercial relationship with Parent or Buyer) (the “Independent Expert”) and (y) forty
(40) business days cause the Independent Expert to determine which of Parent’s Estimate of Losses
or Buyer’s Estimate of Losses is closer to the amount of Losses described in Section
5.2(a)(vii) actually suffered or incurred by Buyer as a result of or in connection with the
matters covered thereby (such closer estimate, the “Prevailing Estimate”). Each of Parent and
Buyer agrees, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, (x) to cooperate with each other, their
respective advisors and the Independent Expert to facilitate the review and analysis of the
Independent Expert and to provide it with sufficient information and access to data and personnel
to enable it to make its determination, (y) that the determination by the Independent Expert as to
the Prevailing Estimate shall be final and binding upon Parent and Buyer and (z) that the amount of
indemnifiable Losses under Section 5.2(a)(vii) shall be equal to the Prevailing Estimate.
The costs and expenses of the Independent Expert shall be borne by the party that did not deliver
the Prevailing Estimate.
33
(h) Each party shall cooperate, and cause their respective Affiliates to cooperate, in the
defense or prosecution of any Third Party Claim and shall furnish or cause to be furnished such
records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings,
trials or appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith.
(i) Except as provided herein, no party shall by virtue of this Agreement have any rights to
defend or participate in the defense of any Third Party Claims as to which it is not named as a
defendant.
5.4 Payment.
(a) In the event a claim or any Action for indemnification under this Article 5 by
Buyer for a Diminution In AIA Value Loss has been finally determined (other than a claim under
Section 5.2(a)(vii)):
(i) if Buyer’s Diminution In AIA Value Loss arose in connection with indemnification pursuant
to Section 5.2(a)(i) (other than the inaccuracy or breach of the Excluded Representations
except for any such representation or warranty contained in Section 2.2(o)), promptly after
a Liquidation Shortfall Event shall have occurred, Parent shall pay to Buyer on demand in
immediately available funds the lesser of (x) the aggregate amount of such final determination (or
any relevant portion thereof) and (y) the positive difference, if any, of the Liquidation Shortfall
minus any amounts previously received or to be received from Parent in respect of
Sections 5.4(a)(ii) and 5.4(b); and
(ii) if Buyer’s Diminution In AIA Value Loss arose other than as described in Section
5.4(a)(i) (including, but not limited to, as a result of the inaccuracy or breach of any of the
Excluded Representations except for any such representation or warranty contained in Section
2.2(o)), the amount of such final determination shall be paid by Parent to Buyer on demand in
immediately available funds; provided that (x) if the Preferred Payment (as defined in the LLC
Agreement) shall have thereafter occurred, Buyer shall repay to Parent, on demand in immediately
available funds, any amounts previously received from Parent in respect of this Section
5.4(a)(ii) or (y) if a Liquidation Shortfall Event shall have thereafter occurred, Buyer shall
repay to Parent, on demand in immediately available funds, the positive difference, if any, of (A)
any amounts previously received from Parent in respect of this Section 5.4(a)(ii) minus (B)
the Liquidation Shortfall.
(b) In the event a claim or any Action for indemnification under Section 5.2(a)(vii)
by Buyer has been finally determined, promptly after a Liquidation Shortfall Event shall have
occurred, Parent shall pay to Buyer on demand in immediately available funds the lesser of (x) the
aggregate amount of such final determination (or any relevant portion thereof) and (y) the positive
difference, if any, of the Liquidation Shortfall minus any amounts previously received or
to be received from Parent in respect of Sections 5.4(a)(i) and 5.4(a)(ii).
34
(c) In the event a claim or any Action for indemnification under this Article 5 by (x)
Buyer (other than for a Diminution In AIA Value Loss or a claim under Section 5.2(a)(vii))
or (y) any other Indemnified Party, in either case, has been finally determined the amount of such
final determination shall be paid by Parent to such Indemnified Party on demand in immediately
available funds.
(d) For purposes of this Section 5.4, 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 5 when the parties hereto have so determined by mutual agreement or, if disputed,
when a final non-appealable order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree or award entered by or with
any Governmental Entity has been entered into with respect to such claim or Action.
5.5 Exclusive Remedies. Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that, other than in the
case of Intentional Breach (defined below) by Parent or Seller or fraud (a) prior to the Closing,
the sole and exclusive remedy of Buyer for any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or
warranty contained in this Agreement or any certificate or instrument delivered hereunder shall be,
in the event that each of the conditions set forth in Sections 1.2(c), (d) and (e) has not been
satisfied or waived, refusal to close the purchase and sale of the Purchased Securities hereunder;
and (b) following the Closing, (i) the indemnification provisions of this Article 5 shall
be the sole and exclusive remedies of Buyer for any breach of the representations or warranties
contained in this Agreement and (ii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, 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 by this Agreement. For the purposes of this Section 5.5, the term
“Intentional Breach” shall mean a breach that is a consequence of an act or omission by the
breaching party with the actual knowledge that the taking of such act would, or would reasonably be
expected to, cause a breach of this Agreement; provided, that, any breach of this Agreement which
results in Losses to the Indemnified Parties of less than $10,000,000 shall be deemed not to be an
Intentional Breach.
5.6 Additional Indemnification Provisions. Parent and Buyer agree, for themselves and on
behalf of their respective Affiliates, that (i) with respect to each indemnification obligation set
forth in Article 5, any Transaction Document or any other document executed or delivered in
connection with the Closing, in no event shall Parent have any liability to Buyer for any punitive
or special damages other than punitive or special damages recovered by third parties in connection
with a Third Party Claim, and (ii) Buyer’s Losses shall include, without duplication, diminution in
value of the AIA Entities (a “Diminution in AIA Value Loss”).

the FRBNY Member with respect to any proposed Significant Action pursuant to Section
4.01(d) hereof, the Company shall deliver to the FRBNY Member, as set forth in Section
10.01 hereof, or any other individual as may be specified by the FRBNY Member as replacing him

“Significant Action Request Notice”), setting forth sufficient detail regarding the facts
and circumstances of such proposed Significant Action (including all financial and background
information) to enable the FRBNY Member to make a reasonably informed decision with respect to such
request for consent. The FRBNY Member shall only have been deemed to have provided its written
consent to any Significant Action for purposes of Section 4.01(d) hereof if the Consent
Request Contact has delivered to the Company a copy of the Significant Action Request Notice with
respect to such Significant Action which has been countersigned by the Consent Request Contact on

as to whether or not to grant its consent to any proposed 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 any party’s other rights or
obligations under this Agreement. The parties hereto agree that any consent granted with respect
any Significant Action in accordance with this Section 4.01(e) 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 Significant Action under this Agreement or the Credit 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, Tax Matters 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,

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
29
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 Preferred Payment, and
so long as the Consent Holder holds any Preferred Units, 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.

“Distribution Demanding Member”).
(b) For purposes of this Section 5.04, a “Distribution Demand” means that the
Distribution Demanding Member may require the Company (and if applicable, require the Company to
cause any Affiliate of the Company which owns the common equity of the Entity subject to the
Initial Public Offering to make a distribution of the Distributed Securities to the Company), by
submitting a demand therefor, to make a distribution (the “Securities Distribution”) to the
Distribution Demanding Member, pro-rata in accordance with their Preferred Units, of Securities

Liquidation Preference applicable to the Preferred Units held by the Distribution Demanding Member, as
applicable; provided, however, that the Liquidation Preference shall be reduced by
the Trading Value of any Distributed Securities distributed to the
32
Distribution Demanding Member. The Securities Distribution shall be made by the Company
concurrently with and as a condition precedent to the closing of a sale by the Distribution
Demanding Member of the Distributed Securities (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 Section 11.14 or otherwise); and provided,
further, that, without in any way limiting the Company’s obligations hereunder to effect
the Securities Distribution, if the Preferred 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 permitted
to purchase any Distributed Securities from the Preferred Members.

ALLOCATIONS
ALLOCATIONS
Section 6.01 General Application. The rules set forth below in this Article
VI shall apply for the purposes of determining each Member’s allocable share of the items of
income, gain, loss and expense of the Company comprising Net Income or Net Loss for each Fiscal
Year, determining special allocations of other items of income, gain, loss and expense, and
adjusting the balance of each Member’s Capital Account to reflect the aforementioned general and
special allocations. For each Fiscal Year, the special allocations in Section 6.03 hereof
shall be made immediately prior to the general allocations of Section 6.02 hereof.
Section 6.02 General Allocations.
(a) Hypothetical Liquidation. The items of income, expense, gain and loss of the
Company comprising Net Income or Net Loss for a Fiscal Year, shall be allocated among the Persons
who were Members during such Fiscal Year in a manner that will, as nearly as possible,
33
cause the Capital Account balance of each Member at the end of such Fiscal Year to equal the
excess (which may be negative) of:
(i) the amount of the hypothetical distribution (if any) that such Member would receive if, on
the last day of the Fiscal Year, (x) all Company assets, including cash, were sold for cash equal
to their Gross Asset Values, taking into account any adjustments thereto for such Fiscal Year, (y)
all Company liabilities were satisfied in cash according to their terms (limited, with respect to
each Nonrecourse Liability, to the Gross Asset Values of the assets securing such liability), and
(z) the net proceeds thereof (after satisfaction of such liabilities) were distributed in full
pursuant to Section 9.03 over
(ii) the sum of (x) the amount, if any, which such Member is obligated to contribute to the
capital of the Company, (y) such Member’s share of the Company Minimum Gain determined pursuant to
Regulations Section 1.704-2(g), and (z) such Member’s share of Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain
determined pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(5), all computed immediately prior to the
hypothetical sale described in Section 6.02(a)(i).
(b) Loss Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section
6.02, the amount of items of Company expense and loss allocated pursuant to this Section
6.02 to any Member shall not exceed the maximum amount of such items that can be so allocated
without causing such Member to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any Fiscal
Year, unless each Member would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit. All such items in excess
of the limitation set forth in this Section 6.02(b) shall be allocated first, to Members
who would not have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, pro rata, in proportion to their Capital
Account balances, adjusted as provided in clauses (a) and (b) of the definition of Adjusted Capital
Account Deficit, until no Member would be entitled to any further allocation, and thereafter, to
all Members, pro rata, in proportion to their respective Units Percentages.
(c) No Deficit Restoration Obligation. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this
Agreement, at no time during the term of the Company or upon dissolution and liquidation thereof
shall a Member with a negative balance in its Capital Account have any obligation to the Company or
the other Members to restore such negative balance, except as may be required by applicable Law or
in respect of any negative balance resulting from a withdrawal of capital or dissolution in
contravention of this Agreement.
Section 6.03 Special Allocations. The following special allocations shall be made in
the following order:
(a) Minimum Gain Chargeback. In the event that there is a net decrease during a
Fiscal Year in either Company Minimum Gain or Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain, then
notwithstanding any other provision of this Article VI, each Member shall receive such
special allocations of items of Company income and gain as are required in order to conform to
Regulations Section 1.704-2.
(b) Qualified Income Offset. Subject to Section 6.03(a), but notwithstanding
any other provision of this Article VI, items of income and gain shall be specially
allocated to the
34
Members in a manner that complies with the “qualified income offset” requirement of
Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(3).
(c) Deficit Capital Accounts Generally. In the event that a Member has a deficit
Capital Account balance at the end of any Fiscal Year which is in excess of the sum of (i) the
amount such Member is then obligated to restore pursuant to this Agreement, and (ii) the amount
such Member is then deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of
Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), respectively, such Member shall be specially
allocated items of Company income and gain in an amount of such excess as quickly as possible,
provided that any allocation under this Section 6.03(c) shall be made only if and to the
extent that a Member would have a deficit Capital Account balance in excess of such sum after all
allocations provided for in this Article VI have been tentatively made as if this
Section 6.03(c) were not in this Agreement.
(d) Deductions Attributable to Member Nonrecourse Debt. Any item of Company loss or
expense that is attributable to Member Nonrecourse Debt shall be specially allocated to the Members
in the manner in which they share the economic risk of loss (as defined in Regulations Section
1.752-2) for such Member Nonrecourse Debt.
(e) Allocation of Nonrecourse Deductions. Each Nonrecourse Deduction of the Company
shall be specially allocated among the Common Members in accordance with their Unit Percentages.
The allocations pursuant to Sections 6.03(b) and 6.03(c) shall be comprised of a
proportionate share of each of the Company’s items of income or gain. The amounts of any Company
income, gain, loss or deduction available to be specially allocated pursuant to this Section
6.03 shall be determined by applying rules analogous to those set forth in subparagraphs (a)
through (f) of the definitions of Net Income and Net Loss.
Section 6.04 Allocation of Nonrecourse Liabilities. For purposes of determining each
Member’s share of Nonrecourse Liabilities, if any, of the Company in accordance with Regulations
Section 1.752-3(a)(3), the Members’ interests in Company profits shall be determined in the same
manner as prescribed by Section 6.03(e).
Section 6.05 Tax Allocations; Other Allocation Rules.
(a) Tax Allocations. Tax allocations for each Fiscal Year or other accounting period
of the Company shall be made consistent with the allocations made pursuant to Sections 6.02
and 6.03 for such year or period, except that, solely for tax purposes, items of income,
expense, gain and loss with respect to Company assets reflected hereunder in the Members’ Capital
Accounts and on the books of the Company at Gross Asset Values that differ from the Company’s
adjusted tax basis in such assets shall be allocated among the Members so as to take account of
those differences in a manner which will comply with Code Sections 704(b) and 704(c) and the
Regulations promulgated thereunder. The Company shall, at the discretion of the Board of Managers,
make, or not make, “curative” or “remedial” allocations (within the meaning of the Regulations
Section 1.704-3), including (i) “curative” allocations which offset the effect of the “ceiling
rule” for a prior Fiscal Year (within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-
35
3(c)(3)(ii)); and (ii) “curative” allocations from dispositions of contributed property
(within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-3(c)(3)(iii)(B)).
(b) Credits. All tax credits of the Company for a Fiscal Year or other accounting
period (or portion thereof, if appropriate) shall be allocated among the Members in a manner
determined by the Board of Managers, consistent with applicable Law.
ARTICLE VII
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. Within 90
days after the end of each Fiscal Year or as soon as otherwise practicable, the Board of Managers
will cause to be delivered to each Person who was a Member at any time during such Fiscal Year,
information with respect to the Company as may be necessary for the preparation of such Person’s
income tax returns for such Fiscal Year, including without limitation, such Person’s Schedule K-1.
Section 7.03 Tax Matters Member. The AIG Member is hereby designated the “Tax
Matters Member” and shall serve as the tax matters partner (as defined in Code Section 6231)
and is authorized and required to represent the Company in connection with all examinations of the
Company’s affairs by tax authorities, including resulting administrative and judicial proceedings.
Each Member (other than the FRBNY Member) agrees that any decisions made and action taken by the
Tax Matters Member, including without limitations, in connection with audits of the Company and
whether or not to settle or contest any tax matters, shall be binding upon the Company and such
Members (other than the FRBNY Member) and each such Member (other than the FRBNY Member) further
agrees that such Member (other than the FRBNY Member) shall not treat any Company item
inconsistently on such Member’s income tax return with the treatment of the item on the Company’s
return and that such Member shall not independently act with respect to tax audits or tax
litigation affecting the Company, unless previously authorized to do so in writing by the Tax
Matters Member, which authorization may not be unreasonably withheld by Tax Matters Member. If any
state or local tax Law provides for a tax matters partner or person having similar rights, powers,
authority or obligations, the Tax Matters Member shall also serve in such capacity. In all other
cases, the Tax Matters Member shall represent the Company in all tax matters to the extent allowed
by applicable Law. The AIG Member shall pay, and indemnify the Tax Matters Member against, any and
all expenses incurred by the Tax Matters Member in such capacity. Such expenses shall include,
without
36
limitation, fees of attorneys and other tax professionals, accountants, appraisers and
experts, filing fees and reasonable out of pocket costs. In furtherance of the foregoing, in the
event the Company is not subject to the consolidated audit rules of Code Sections 6221 through 6234
during any taxable year, the Members hereby agree to sign an election pursuant to Code Section
6231(a)(1)(B)(ii) to be filed with the Company’s federal income tax return for such taxable year to
have such consolidated audit rules apply to the Company.
Section 7.04 Accounting Methods; Elections. The Board of Managers shall determine the
accounting methods and conventions to be used in the preparation of the Company’s tax returns and,
subject to Section 7.05 below, shall make any and all elections under the tax Laws of the
United States and any other relevant jurisdictions as to the treatment of items of income, gain,
loss, deduction and credit of the Company, or any other method or procedure related to the
preparation of the Company’s tax returns; provided, however, that the Tax Matters
Member shall determine, in its reasonable discretion, all calculations and allocations with respect
to any adjustment under Sections 734(b) and 743(b) of the Code. The Board of Managers shall not
take any tax position, make or change any tax election or otherwise take any action in connection
with the Company’s tax matters that could reasonably be expected to be materially adverse to any
Preferred Member (including, without limitation, any material reduction of such Preferred Member’s
return on its Preferred Interest) without the consent of such Preferred Member which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.
Section 7.05 Partnership Status. The Members intend to treat, and the Company shall
take no position inconsistent with treating, the Company as a partnership for United States
federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes prior to an Initial Public Offering of
the Company. The Company shall not file any election pursuant to Regulation Section 301.7701-3(c)
to be treated as an entity other than a partnership prior to any Initial Public Offering of the
Company. The Company shall not elect, pursuant to Section 761(a) of the Code, to be excluded from
the provisions of subchapter K of the Code.
Section 7.06 Tax Treatment of the Transactions. All capitalized terms in this Section
7.06 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, (a) on
the transfer by AIG of beneficial ownership of the PhilAm shares to AIA, AIA shall become the owner
of such equity interests and the transitory existence of the AIA Note will be disregarded; (b) the
following transactions shall be treated as occurring when the Company and HK Co are disregarded
under Treasury Regulation Section 301.7701-2(c)(2) as separate entities from AIRCO: (1) the
transfer by AIRCO of the AIA equity interests to the Company in return for the HK Note A; (2) the
issuance of the Preferred Units to AIRCO in return for the HK Note A; and (3) the issuance by HK Co
to the Company of stock of HK Co and the HK Note B in return for the HK Note A; (c) as a result,
each of the transactions described in clause (b) hereof shall be disregarded, including, for the
avoidance of doubt, the transitory existence of the HK Note A; (d) the election under Treasury
Regulation Section 301.7701-3(c) to treat HK Co as a corporation shall be treated as the transfer
by AIRCO of the AIA equity interests to HK Co in return for all the HK Co stock and the HK Note B;
(e) immediately before the election described in clause (d) hereof, the Purchase Agreement shall
constitute a binding contract pursuant to which the sale described in clause (f) hereof shall
occur; (f) the sale of the Preferred Units to the FRBNY in return for the Consideration (as defined
in the Purchase Agreement) shall be treated
37
as (1) the transfer by AIRCO to the FRBNY of undivided interests in the stock of HK Co and the HK Note B in
return for the Consideration, followed by (2) the contribution by the FRBNY and AIRCO of their
respective interests in the stock of HK Co and the HK Note B to the Company, which, as of the time
of such contribution, shall be treated as a partnership, in return for the Units; and (g) the
transfer, via dividend, of the Consideration to AIGLH, which is (and, as of the time of such
transfer, shall continue to be) disregarded as a separate entity from AIG under Treasury Regulation
Section 301.7701-2(c)(2), shall be treated as (1) the transfer of the Consideration, to the extent
of the fair market value of the PhilAm equity interests, to AIG in return for such PhilAm equity
interests, and (2) except to the foregoing extent, a distribution described in Code Section 301 to
AIG. 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.
Section 7.07 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 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 7.07(a). Prior to making any disclosure
described in clause (iv) or (v) of this Section 7.07(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 7.07(a). In connection with any disclosure described in clauses (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.
38
(b) Each of the AIG Member, AIRCO 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). The
FRBNY hereby agrees promptly after the date hereof (i) to inform the GAO in writing of the
Nondisclosure Agreement, pursuant to which (and subject to the terms thereof) the FRBNY has agreed
to treat as confidential certain information of the AIG Member, AIRCO and/or the Company and their
respective Affiliates, and (ii) in consultation with the AIG Member and the Company, to take
reasonable steps to establish protocols with the GAO governing the receipt, handling and
dissemination by the GAO of confidential information of the AIG Member, AIRCO, the Company and
their respective subsidiaries. In addition to the foregoing, it is acknowledged that the AIG
Member, AIRCO and/or the Company separately has sought assurances from the Comptroller General that
the GAO will follow applicable laws and regulations, or other protocols that may be agreed to
between the GAO and the AIG Member and/or the Company, relating
to the disclosure of confidential information obtained directly or indirectly from the AIG Member,
AIRCO and/or the Company, and has taken or will take steps, as the case may be, to enter into a
written agreement regarding those assurances and/or other protocols that may be agreed to between
the GAO and the AIG Member, AIRCO and/or the Company.

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 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 Preferred Payment, a Majority in Interest of the Preferred
Members. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary but subject to the provisions of this
Article VIII, following the Preferred Payment, the Common Members may freely transfer their
Common Units to any Person. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
39
contrary, prior to an Initial Public Offering of the Company, no Member shall Transfer any
portion of its Interests, Units or Equity Securities (including to any Permitted Transferee) to the
extent that such Transfer would cause the Company to be taxable as a corporation or treated as a
“publicly traded partnership” for United States federal, state or local income or franchise tax
purposes.
(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. All tax items for the partnership taxable year of such transfer shall be allocated between
the transferor and the transferee according to any method permissible under Code Section 706 (which
method shall be agreed upon between the transferor and the transferee, and approved by the Board of
Managers). 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 and that such Transfer would not cause the Company to
be taxable as a corporation or treated as a “publicly traded partnership” for United States federal
income tax purposes. 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, AIGLH and the
FRBNY) entering into a joinder agreement in the form of Schedule VI attached hereto.
40
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 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 Preferred Payment, (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 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 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 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. 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 Preferred Payment, (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 Sale of
the Company Demand and (ii) following the Initial Period, in its sole discretion, be entitled to
make a Sale of Company Demand; and (B) with respect to the Majority 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
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 the Company; provided, however, that if
the Sale of the Company is structured such that the Company will receive the proceeds from such a
Sale of the Company, then the Company shall not be required to distribute any proceeds it may
receive from such a Sale of the Company; and provided, further, that if the Sale of
the Company is structured such that the Members will receive the proceeds from such a Sale of the
Company, then the proceeds from the Sale of the Company shall be allocated among the Members in the
manner that such proceeds would have been distributed by the Company in accordance with Section
5.02 hereof and any such proceeds distributed or allocated to the Preferred Members shall
reduce the Liquidation Preference in the amount so distributed or allocated. In connection with
any Sale of the Company, 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.
41
(a) At any time prior to the Preferred Payment, (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
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 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 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 5.02 hereof and such proceeds distributed to the Preferred Members shall reduce the
Liquidation Preference 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.
(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),
42
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 Preferred Payment,
the Company may redeem (the “Participation Redemption”) the Preferred Participating Return
by (i) following an Initial Public Offering, providing the 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
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
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
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
Preferred Members, pro-rata in accordance with their Preferred Units, an amount equal to the
Participating Fair Market Value; provided, however, should a Majority in Interest
of the Preferred Members contest in good faith the Board of Managers’ determination of the
Participation Fair Market Value by providing the Company with notice of such contest within ten
days of the Redemption Notice, 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 Preferred Members, which determination shall be final and binding on the
Members and the Company. The fees and expenses of the investment banking firm shall be borne by
the Company.
Section 8.07 Public Offerings. Until the Preferred Payment shall have occurred, a
Majority in Interest of the 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.

priority:
(i) first, to creditors of the Company (including creditors who are Members) in satisfaction
of the liabilities of the Company (whether by payment or the making of reasonable provision for
payment thereof); and
(ii) second, to the Members in the same manner in which non-liquidating distributions are made
pursuant to Section 5.02 hereof.
(iii) The Liquidator shall determine whether any assets of the Company shall be liquidated
through sale or shall be distributed in kind. A distribution in kind of an asset to a Member shall
be considered, for the purposes of this Article IX, a distribution in an amount equal to
the fair market value of the assets so distributed as determined by the Liquidator in its
reasonable discretion.
44
Section 9.04 Cancellation of Certificate. Upon the completion of the distribution of
Company assets as provided in Section 9.03 hereof, the Company shall be terminated and the
person acting as Liquidator shall cause the cancellation of the Certificate and shall take such
other actions as may be necessary or appropriate to terminate the Company.

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 and (ii) a Majority in Interest of the Preferred Members,
provided, however, that no amendment that has a material and adverse and
disproportionate effect on any Member as compared to the other Members holding the same class of
Securities shall be approved without the consent of such Member.
46
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;
provided, however, that no Transfer of the Interest of any Member shall be made
except in accordance with the provisions of Article VIII hereof.
47
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
Sections 4.01(d) or 8.04 hereof should be terminated or made subject to any time
limitations (or time and volume limitations in the case of Section 5.04 hereof), in 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
48
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 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 5.02 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 5.02 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 between the Preferred Members and the underwriters of any
Initial Public Offering (but 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-
49
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. The Members each accept for itself
and in connection with its respective properties, generally and unconditionally, the exclusive
jurisdiction and venue of the aforesaid courts and waive any defense of forum non conveniens, and
irrevocably agree to be bound by any final, nonappealable judgment rendered thereby in connection
with this agreement.
50
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.
